A dark cat paced back and forth before him. An omen on a day of omens. Now, Levi wasn't really much of a spiritual or superstitious sort, but what else could you call waking up in some dank basement-esque structure with no windows along with a few other folks who seemed not to have their shit together? It surely wasn't some regular occurrence, that was for sure. The people were speaking, questioning their reasons for being here. It wasn't his place to speak, so he just listened. A few foreign loan words, a rather odd claim about defending the town like some Saturday morning cartoon, and an exchange of names. Nathan, Erebus, Taimu, Katherin, and then the other guys who didn't say a thing. Each had some kind of beast before them. How interesting.

Suddenly, a scream. Slightly muffled, but still audible in the room given its general echo-yness. The blue hoodied young man turned his head to look towards the blonde kind that looked like she was kind of just trying to make herself seem smaller. He'd barely heard it, but the question was there. "Underground by the sound of it," Levi drawled nonchalantly, "'Maho Underground' the girl over there - the one that seems know what's up - said." He shrugged. "No idea what that means though, but I heard something about defending the city."
