The bell on the front door jingled lightly as it closed. With a twist of the key it was then locked, officially closing up the office for the night. [b][color=navy]"Today was a busy one,"[/color][/b] Kazuki commented, putting the keys in his coat pocket as he faced his younger assistant. [b][color=violet]"But it was all pediatrics. It was a good day, nothing difficult or any unruly customers,"[/color][/b] she agreed. The two began walking down the nearby alleyway, taking it as a shortcut to the parking lot their vehicles were at. [b][color=navy]"Yes. An unremarkable day..."[/color][/b] The two had barely made any distance at all when Kazuki stopped, hearing the faintest of sounds in the distance. The younger woman continued on for a few steps before noticing. [b][color=violet]"Chasers?"[/color][/b]

[b][color=navy]"At what time is my first appointment tomorrow?"[/color][/b] With a sigh the young woman withdrew a pocketbook and opened it to a tabbed page. [b][color=violet]"Ten o' clock."[/color][/b] [b][color=navy]"Make it eleven."[/color][/b] Another sigh later and she wrote a few things down on the page. [b][color=violet]"I'll see you tomorrow then, Doctor."[/color][/b] [b][color=navy]"You can come in an hour later as well. Goodnight, Felicia."[/color][/b] While the woman carried on towards the parking lot, Kazuki changed course. It would be quicker and easier to take his car to the meeting place, the Dangeki Cafe, but he didn't want his vehicle tampered with. This part of town was much safer, and frankly Kazuki was always a bit concerned by the folks that visited that cafe.

A brisk walk later and he found himself at the cafe. Standing outside the front door was something big and ominous covered in a blue tarp. Kazuki was quick to recognize it as Rook, the strange being that followed on of the Chasers named Mia. He didn't even need to use his powers for the identification. Unsure whether to give it a greeting or not, he simply nodded towards the tarp before entering the store. A good number of Chasers had already gathered, as expected. For whatever reason they were called in, it must've been important. Most missions required one to three Chasers, and there were plenty more than that gathered now. Kazuki always felt out of place in the cafe, being his dress and his lifestyle. Many of those who frequented the place were degenerates with no place in society. While he didn't despise that it surely made him uncomfortable be around them.

However there were no actual customers right now. He was surrounded by colleagues. Or perhaps a better word would be associates. Kazuki held onto his briefcase and remained standing, only moving to the bar to get out of the way of the door. The vampire girl, Shiina, and another young girl were handling a young man, seemingly threateningly. Now that Kazuki looked around the room with his good eye, he could tell there were faces he could not recognize. New members? Or perhaps he had just never seen them before now? [b][color=navy]"I apologize for my lateness,"[/color][/b] Kazuki greeted, bringing up his free hand to loosen his tie slightly. [b][color=navy]"I decided to walk here. Might I inquire why so many Chasers have been gathered? Did something... [i]important[/i] happen?"[/color][/b] His eye moved over to the girl that was standing next a Youkai man. These two were certainly new faces, and considering their stance at the forefront of the "crowd" it was likely that they had something to do with the gathering.
