What's the worse that could happen?”[/color][/i] Though, she chose not to mind the snide remarks about her looks, it was a normal thing by now, Itsuko learned to be oblivious about it. When asked about funds, Itsuko waved it off with a cool smile. Money wasn't really a problem for her (or ninety percent of Purple Crown's student body, for that matter), but still, she wasn't going to go out of her way to point the fact that her pockets were a bit too deep for her own good. [color=ffd400]“Don't worry 'bout that, I got it covered. Why don't we go out now, before the place closes, eh?”[/color] [color=ffd400]“By the way, have ya heard about it?”[/color] The blonde asked as they were on their way to a certain ramen stand close to the Academy. [color=ffd400]“They say that an idol will be transferring to the Academy for a few days, I wonder who she's?”[/color] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/oM62y04.png[/img][/center] [center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/YcSbYzy.png[/img] [h2][color=9966cc][b][u] Eris Reinhardt [/u] [sup][sup]Murasaki City Mall Residential Towers ❖ Eris' Apartment[/sup][/sup][/b][/color][/h2][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/gC1WHll.png[/img] [@Lonewolf685] [/center] [color=c0c0c0]“News from home?”[/color] Eins asked reflexively. [color=c0c0c0]“Well, I was at the hospital for a lot of time, so I don't know about much small talk, but, let me see...”[/color] she said nonchalantly, bringing a finger to her chin and furrowing her brow in thought. [color=c0c0c0]“When you think about it, Europe— no, the whole world is quite calm these days, but... Oh yeah, how could I forget!”[/color] [color=c0c0c0]“There was the Oktoberfest, how silly of me to forget about it. Hehe,”[/color] Eins said while chuckling, [color=c0c0c0]“I was discharged just a couple days before it. It was as great as ever. In fact, I even brought you a gift, Sis. Please, wait over here for a bit,”[/color] the older Reinhardt Twin said, excusing herself before disappearing into Eris' bedroom, no doubt to fetch whatever gift she brought to her sister. On the kitchen, right over the corner, the sound produced by Eris gasping in shock would be noticeable, even from Kanbaru's position at the living room (not that it was that far away to begin with). [color=9966cc]“Ho— how could I forget about the Oktoberfest?”[/color] Eris asked herself out loud. [color=9966cc]“The Festival was so packed that it just flew over my head. Damn, we should have done an Oktoberfest themed café, instead of a maid one. I have to make a note for next year.”[/color] [color=9966cc]“Now that I think about it, Miss Kanbaru, do you like these kinds of festivities? If I'm not wrong one of our reports said that you were one of the few Purple Crown players logged in during the Festival. You don't strike me as the anti-social type, so... If you don't mind me asking, was there any particular reason for it?”[/color] Eris asked as she came to the living room, bringing their now hot food. All they needed to is wait until Eins came back, holding the (no doubt quirky) gift she had for her sister.

For some... really timely maintenance. [color=f80c3a]“Man, that was a packed day, but I guess I covered it all and still got time to kick those Cabbage Heads' ass. I guess I should go back home and get some sleep—”[/color] The redheaded continued talking to herself, as she made her way down the corridor before a message from no one but Aaron crashed her train of though. [color=f80c3a]“Well, never mind that. I guess I have a sudden date with Nixon. I wonder what he's thinking, to call me to the park at such an hour? Hehehe.”[/color] The smirk on Emma's face as she sent a simple [color=f80c3a]“Get me a hot chocolate, then. With lots of cinnamon, please. I'll be at the park before you even notice. By the way, Nixon, did y'know? Looks like a super idol's gonna come to Purple Crown during a tour, they say she's also a really powerful Ivory Mask. I swear, what's up with those guys and their fanciness? It's like every celebrity around has to be on their Guild, geez!”[/color] message back to Aaron, said that she had quite a few ideas of what might come to pass on that night, though. On her way out of the academy, Emma observed a curious scene unfold before her eyes, between a quirky trio of girl, who were being spied by a suspect looking boy. [color=f80c3a]“Heya, guy,”[/color] she said, coming from behind Angus. [color=f80c3a]“What's happening over there? More importantly, why is a lone guy spying on three ladies at a time like this?”[/color] The redheaded girl asked shamelessly as she gazed at Angus.

[color=4682b4]“You are just a friend of Bel-sama, huh? Seems like I misunderstood the situation, then.”[/color] Given the way her words sounded introspective, it was hard to appraise what was going on Yuuno's mind. After all, that had been quite an info dump for most persons to take at once. [color=4682b4]“I already tried to, Bel-sama, but I cannot talk with Shino,”[/color] Yuuno replied to Maribel's question about contacting Yoshino, with a visibly worried look on her face. [color=4682b4]“I'm really getting worried. I mean,”[/color] she said, turning to Alex, [color=4682b4]“you were there, weren't you? Don't you know what happened to Shino? She— she shouldn't have disappeared if what you said is true. But I can't find her anywhere.”[/color] Yuuno took a few moments to calm herself, however, when Alex questioned Maribel if she would cease being the Blue King, Yuuno propped herself up, pushing her chair away from her with a rattling sound. [color=4682b4]“That cannot be!”[/color] She said out loud, [color=4682b4]“Bel-sama is the only Blue King I'll accept! She cannot cease to be, I refuse to believe on this!”[/color] Yuuno shouted, glaring at Alex with a vengeance. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/2c3E3md.png[/img][/center]
