Idle chatter filled Emma's head. The conversation seemed almost random, moving in crazy tangents. That's how it always was around close friends. She wasn't really participating, only chiming in occasionally, until something caught her ears. [b][color=f49ac2]"So you guys know all those new students coming in today? Let's just say I made sure there wouldn't be any maps available at the front office. They're probably all lost."[/color][/b] The person who said it giggled. That person was one of Emma's closest friends, Izumi. It was very typical of her to do something like that. She had a rather devious streak, but meant well. Emma swore to herself to be the 'angel on her shoulder', so to speak. Emma shook her head, [b][color=Lightblue]"That's just cruel. Shouldn't it be our job to show them around? They're probably stressed out enough as is."[/color][/b] Izumi rebuked, [b][color=f49ac2]"You are so uptight! I'm just trying to have fun."[/color][/b] Emma sighed. [b][color=lightblue]"I can't believe you'd do something like that. How'd you even manage to do that? You better not be planning anything else, because I'm going to go to the front and make sure no one is lost."[/color][/b] Emma turned to the rest of the group. [b][color=Lightblue]"You guys better make sure she doesn't run off!"[/color][/b] She stuck out her tongue mockingly at Izumi, who merely threw up her arms in exasperation, everyone else laughing as Emma departed. 

Emma progressed towards the front of the building, lost in thought again, [b][i][color=Lightblue]That girl is such a handful. I wonder what the Black King is like out of DGO? Probably a loner, being realistic. Or maybe someone to busy for friend, like a certain Class President...[/color][/i][/b] She realized that she never played DGO with any of her real friends, so realistically she might even know her. She liked to keep her virtual 'life' and her real one separate, since conflicts could cross between the two. [i][b][color=Lightblue]Could the Black King be Izumu? Incredibly unlikely. It could be one of my other friends though.[/color][/b][/i] She mentally made a list of all the girls she knew, pondering over their potential as the enigmatic Black King. She suddenly took pause. [i][b][color=Lightblue]Or what if it's a guy playing as a girl? Virtual Reality is so annoying...[/color][/b][/i] She gave up on the ridiculous train of thought. [b][i][color=Lightblue]Like I already assumed, the Black King probably keeps to themselves. This is just silly.[/color][/i][/b] As she walked to the front music began playing from the PA. [b][i][color=Lightblue]Really? This wasn't her doing to, was it?[/color][/i][/b] The girl shook her head.

She reached the front of the school. [b][i][color=lightblue]I can't believe I came out here just to make sure no one falls for Izumi's schemes... well, I guess it's the nice thing to do anyways.[/color][/i][/b] She took a look around for any of the new students. It wasn't really her job, but she still felt in some way responsible for them. Sure enough there was a lost looking blue-haired girl standing around with a suitcase, looking lost. [b][i][color=lightblue]I came all the way down here to check, I guess I'm obliged to help her.[/color][/i][/b] Emma strode over to the girl, waving. She smiled warmly at the girl. [b][color=Lightblue]"Excuse me! You look lost, are you a new student? Do you need me to show you around?"[/color][/b]
