[center][h3][color=6ecff6]-Atlas, Hand of the Heavens : Dangeki Pawn & Parlor Café-[/color][/h3] Another day, another session of studying for tests and performing calculations to complete some homework. Taking one last gander at the time, Ryou completed the last beguiling question and packed the items, shoving them under the wooden desk. Taking off his glasses, the teen opened up one of his drawers with a flick of his hand. Eyeing the box containing his contacts, Ryou slipped the spectacles into storage and put on both of his contacts. Blinking twice, Ryou huffed and seized the equipment from his closet and began to swiftly change. Atlas falling behind schedule as the undulating clock ticked, the teens eyes jutting between his clothes and time. After bidding adieu to a sister left to her lonesome in planning, Atlas put on the mask and began a light jog before speeding up to a dash as he bound down the streets. Taking short-cuts through the tenebrous alleys, kept the pace, doing his best to avoid anyone who might gaze at him awkwardly due to the eku strapped onto his back. Eventually, he tired of dashing and hurdling, especially since he came to the realization that he was going to not arrive on time if he kept this up. Beckoning a cab, he took his mask off to a slight degree, only obscuring his lips and nose. While the driver gave him an odd look, a Atlas gave directions, answered the inquisitive cabby with a simple lie to dissuade him of any suspicion, and some yen he brought. As he sat in the chair, the Chaser gazed outwardly towards the heavens as he masked himself once again. Tracing what visible stars enabled him to pass the time by as he connected each on with a beaming window. Upon arrival he thanked the driver, and then swiftly entered the familiar cafe. The place wasn't swirling with myriads of recognizable faces from earlier, but instead was a tad... vacant, save for two beguiling beauts he recognized as always. Giving the demon a mischievously suggested wink, Atlas bellowed hearty as his chin shot up like a bullet towards the scarlet skyline. [color=6ecff6]"Heya Ellie, didja miss me? Apologies for the late arrival, but as you know, gotta save the best for last!~"[/color] The cocky teen seemed more keen on "speaking" with the hostess, rather than the mission board. Taking a seat at the bar, Atlas eyed the two waitresses a bit lovingly before turning his attention to the notice board which listed off the tasks at hand. Squinting at each of them, it wasn't long before Atlas began voicing his crude opinions about each one in a relaxed, boorish manner. [color=6ecff6]"Lets see here... mysteries... eh, seems a bit ok I guess; a good enigma is always entertaining once in a while."[/color] He rapped his out of rhythm fingers on the table as he eyed the next one, chuckling as his fingers came to a halt. [color=6ecff6]"I can see the headlines now for 'Chasers Daily' Troubled T'sune Teens Tempting Turmoil Throughout The Tired Temple; trying as they might, their spiritual hormones are out of control!... In all seriousness, they might not be getting donations, but turmoil isn't going to attract anyone there,"[/color] grumbled as he rolled his eyes inconsolably as he let out a soft yawn before glaring at the next available mission. [color=6ecff6]"Diplomacy ain't my thing; leave that to those with crafty tongues as their weapon to calm down those two clans... but then again..."[/color] Atlas paused as he stared at the bulletin, readjusting his mask as he leaned in as if to garner a better look at the flickering words. Soon, he leaned back, shaking his head as he blinked twice, resigning his favor towards this mission. Finally, reading the last part elicited a fruitful giggle from the boys mouth. [color=6ecff6]"Hot damn, those dumbasses are back! I honestly feel bad for the Chasers dealing with them, as it's just a waste of precious resources to send them back sprawling for mercy. Jeez, they must have severe brain damage or something when deciding they would return!"[/color] Declaring the final mission as moot for him, he went back to dissecting each of the missions he reviewed in the most shrewd way as possible... before returning his stoic gaze to the captivating demoness. Tilting his head a bit as he flexed his fingered, he stared at her intuitively before shooting out his question. [color=6ecff6]"Hey Ellie, three quick questions before I go take on one of these daily assignments,"[/color] Atlas spoke neutrally as his gaze became affixed to the door. [color=6ecff6]"First off, did I miss anything important? I understand that Aria wanted the usual to meet up with her, but I don't know if it's anything concerning. Mind enlightening me love?"[/color] Pausing for a second, Atlas continued motor-mouthing fervently as he launched himself to his next question. [color=6ecff6]"Next... who went out to the missions concerning the enigma and the temple? I want to weigh my options for certain numerical reasons... and finally, the most important thing that I must inquire!"[/color] His voice resonated soundly as his head whipped back to Ellie, his eyes furrowed furiously. Smiling widely with misintent under the mask, his voice rang eagerly as he rose from his seat, his hands shot down onto the counter with a slap as he announced his intentions. [color=6ecff6]"Will you go on a date with me!"[/color] Letting that false sense of information out, Atlas snickered for a few seconds before speaking the truth, his arms unerecting themselves as they crumbled onto the bar like a crumbling building. Leaning over, looked at each of the arranged drinks behind the lady as he spoke outwardly about what his desire was. [color=6ecff6]"Alright, I was joking since a hottie like you has a boyfriend I believe... or was that the other mesmerizing chick? Maybe both? Eh whatever,in all seriousness, what I really would like is if you made some Takoyaki for me when I get back; didn't grab anything to eat before coming here and I'm a hundred percent sure that my stomach is going to be beggin' for something to digest when I return."[/color][/center]
