The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or be not indebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong. Karl Popper (1973)[/i][/sub][/CENTER][hr] Days of effort quickly turned into weeks, but everything that had needed to be settled with was done; the only thing that was left was for tomorrow to finally take place. [color=fff200]"Who would've thought that gathering a bunch of outcasts would be this hard?"[/color] Tumble continued to stare into the screen in front of her as she sifted through the profiles of all the children that she was going to take under her wing. She had already read their profiles over a dozen times each, but for some reason, Tumble couldn't help but repeatedly look over them. Did most of them remind her of what she was before? Maybe she just found something that she could relate with in each one of them. There was no point in bothering about such things though; there wasn't really any clear way of finding out. The sound of a long sigh echoed throughout Tumble's room as she turned away from her computer and began swiveling from left to right in her chair. With drink in hand, she simply starred at the star-filled night sky. Taking several sips, the chilled whisky smoothly ran down her throat, causing her body to briefly shudder. Tumble [i]ahhed[/i] in delight as her body loosened up and relaxed; a bit of alcohol was exactly what she needed. Turning back to her screen, she set her drink aside and resumed her work. Her fingers were sluggish and eyes droopy. [color=fff200]"This is definitely gonna be a long night."[/color] Tumble said in, or at least what sounded like, a drunken stupor. [hr] The city of Musutafa and the entirety of Japan had patiently waited for this day to come. Although in no way was this event actually advertised, news of it had spread like wildfire throughout social media and immediately become viral in a matter of hours since information of it was released to the public. What was supposed to be a small gathering with some acquaintances, associates, and maybe a few family members of the participating children, turned into a massive event that garnered not only the masses but also a significant amount of media personnel. Flashing lights, reverberating sounds of shuttering, and a roaring crowd; this was certainly not the way they expected things to turn out. All nine of the children that had gathered in front of the hero agency, were left defenseless.
