[color=bc8dbf]“I apologize for the inconvenience of tonight. I’m sure I’ve taken you away from more notable things. I’m afraid I can’t really change that…so please, take this.”[/color]

[url=http://i.imgur.com/bySv3IR.jpg?1]Aria[/url] herself sat beside the latest Chaser to walk in, her expression completely stoic. It was only natural that the others didn’t notice her presence. As the Head Magister, it was almost expected of her from her abilities; or it could have just been the sheer height difference between her and most others. But regardless, she sat beside Odelia with a look of sympathy.

Raising a hand, she clenched her palm shut before opening it up again and revealing one of the doughnuts Ellie had offered to her. The succubus-vampire hybrid had better hoped she hadn’t spiked Aria’s doughnuts because the Head Magister would pin the blame on her if something happened to her Chasers. But back to the present, Aria held the doughnut and waited calmly, not moving until Odelia would take it.

Nodding, the Head Magister soon crossed over to each and every Chaser, offering doughnuts and not taking a denial for an answer. It was quite strange to see her actually sharing her sweets for once…though this image of kindness was soon off-put by the fact that she had her own box waiting for her at the front of the shop. Once everyone had been accounted for, Aria took a few seconds to reach up and sit at the edge of the bar. Given her short stature, it took some time but she finally managed and pulled out a strawberry coated doughnut from her box.

Aria at once clapped her hands and stared down the assembled Chasers gathered before her, drawing all of their attention to her. She took one bite of her doughnut and chewed, chewed, chewed some more, before finally swallowing. Then a small smile graced her lips.

[color=bc8dbf]“Good evening everyone. As you may all know, we are gathered here for a particular Chaser mission given by our primary ally and benefactor, Miss Chikage. Ordinarily, a job such as this would only require the presence of one or two of our number. However, Miss Chikage has informed me that this specific job may call the need for more of our group. Specifically because it involves an individual known as the Cataloger.”[/color]

The Head Magister let this sink in while she took a few more munches from her doughnut. She doubted anyone except the senior Chasers would know of who she spoke of so she took the time to swallow before continuing with her explanation.

[color=bc8dbf]“Of course there are other missions that needed to be brought to attention. But for now our primary concern is the Cataloger. He’s a rather…loudmouthed man who goes around challenging others to duels. The loser of said duels must relinquish any and all treasure they currently possess. In short, the Cataloger has challenged the Association for a bid of all the treasure currently in Sonomachi. In other words, he’s picking a fight with everyone in this room.”[/color]
