[center] [h3][i][color=darkorchid]Eris Reinhardt[/color][/i][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/wQwMjwu.png[/img] [/center] [color=darkorchid]"Are every single one of you stupid?"[/color] Eris asked with the same subtlety of a sledgehammer, after listening to all the arguing about Eclipse Princess being an Outlaw and things like that. [color=darkorchid]"Why does everyone make so much drama over being an Outlaw? If nothing else, it is the most cost efficient, albeit risky, way of acquiring experience points on Deep Ground. Actually, the fact that the Ebony Strikers were intended to be a guild built around the usage of such tactics but are now housing the whiny children who can step forward and fend for themselves is a grievous offense to the guild's way of being. For crying out loud, that is the guild known for such things as in game prostitution and assassination, if any of you do not remember."[/color] [color=darkorchid]"But, like I said, I don't care anymore. You can do as you wish, reform the Strikers and turn them on the Saccharine Riders of the Bubblegum King, I just can't be less bothered about it."[/color] The look of boredom rose on Eris' face as she spewed forth her usual load of venom. Whether she was being sincere and back to her normal senses, or she was trying to cover up her real thoughts by being vitriolic, only Eris would know, though in all likelyhood, it was a mix of both. [color=darkorchid]"Furthermore,"[/color] Eris said, getting up from her seat, [color=darkorchid]"you're mistaken about one thing, Shiro Kawabata. For the whole of my life, I have been nothing but the Bad Apple that breeds conflict."[/color] [color=darkorchid]"The the only problem was aligning the self in my mind and the I that is perceived by others. Either way, this is where we part for the evening."[/color] Eris said while taking her leave, making just one quick pass besides Aaron and scooping one of his fries, [color=darkorchid]"It seems I have to make good use of the rest of my twenty four hours of a head start, right?"[/color] Eris threw the fry on her mouth and walked back home without even looking behind her to check if Cassandra was following. [color=darkorchid][i]"I... shouldn't have done that."[/i][/color] Eris thought resting a hand over her stomach while she rode the elevator back to her apartment.

And you say that you would willingly follow a group of people you don't know, one of them having a gun, because they said they had business with you?"[/color] Emma said with an expression of disbelief on her face as she and Thomas got inside the cinema, [color=bf0147]"Prez, sometimes I think you're too naive for your own good. If you go back there and get beaten by those guys, remember that I told you."[/color] [color=bf0147]"But, if you are going to throw the ticket I bought away."[/color] The readhead was about to hand the ticket to Thomas, but if he was going to go and meet those goons, she could as well use it in a better way, [color=bf0147]"I guess I'll see if Nixon wants to keep company to a lonely girl? You really don't care, right, Prez?"[/color] Emma said with a teasing tone behind her voice. Looking over the food court and noticing that the people around Aaron's table were starting to disperse, Emma sent a short voice message to Aaron, [color=bf0147]"Behind you you, Nixon!"[/color] as she waved for him to come closer while waiting for Thomas' reply. [center] [h3][i][color=gold]Itsuko M. Kanzaki[/color][/i][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/php3EDZ.png[/img] [/center] [color=gold]"I would like it too, Hibiki. Actually, we still can do that, we are just kids, after al- Wha!?"[/color] Itsuko was glad with Hibiki's reply, having another friends would be good, or at east that's what the [i]that person[/i] said to Itsuko. However, before she could finish saying that they could still grow together (both of them were still children, after all), a cat came running out of the blue and barrelled Hibiki. Itsuko actually side-stepped out of the way of the homing cat on the nick of time and tried to help Hibiki keep her balance, reaching forth to grab the the other girl's arm but, the sudden movement got her unprepared. Itsuko fell, potentially dragging Hibiki with her (if Hibiki didn't let go of Itsuko's hand). The blonde hit the floor hit her right shoulder, wincing as the fall knocked some air out of her. Anyone that knew a bit about common injuries would notice that Itsuko probably fell over a cracked rib. Though, the only one who would know for sure was a certain purple-haired girl passing through the food court nearby, probably from a distance which she could listen to Itsuko's cry and subsequent attempt to not worry Hibiki and that boy that just ran into them while seeking the cat. [color=gold]"Gah! H-heh, I guess... you can call that a cat-astrophe, right, Hibiki? Hehe-Ghh!"[/color] Itsuko said, as she tried to get back to her feet.

[color=deepskyblue]"Well if it's not a thematic day? Titania-sama is proud of welcoming any who wishes to join us. That's, if you are willing to work for the Cobalt Bruisers' glory. So, how do you wish to begin? With a basic tour around the place, or maybe already going out to work?"[/color] Absinthe said, before smiling at Azure Panther. [color=deepskyblue]"By the way, do I know you from somewhere? You strike me as conspicuously familiar."[/color] [hr] [center][@Lonewolf685], [@Caits], [@Jedly], [@TheWindel], [@Ryonara], [@Lucius Cypher], [@Mega Birb], [@Lord of Evil].[/center]
