[center][b]Akane Hanazawa // Velvet Room[/b][/center]
[center][b]Wednesday, July 22th, 2015[/b][/center]

Ignoring Mako, as if he said nothing, Akane just simply glared at Igor until he decided to get to the point. She wasn't exactly a fan of forced summons. In time though, he finally started explaining the reasoning for them being there. To sum it all up, it was about them being able to use the Velvet Room however they like and being able to get stronger through Trials via 'Meals'. [i]Calling 'trials' 'meals'? Talk about having no taste whatsoever.[/i] Cringing at her own bad pun.

Akane wasn't exactly against getting stronger, nothing wrong with leveling up in your favorite game, but she kind of figured the 'meeting' would've been more 'important'. 'Important' being some kind of dire or serious situation for them to solve. Now [i][b]that[/b][/i] would be worth her time. Well, for now, she'll keep these 'meals' in mind, just in case she has some free time.

The next day was truly a strange event to be hold, and which event would that be, you may as? Akane actually showing up to the warehouse without a 'summons' via Rui text messaging. We all know how easily things can turn into a habit when done in repetition and without giving it much thought, she arrived at her destination. Usually, with school in session, she'd always go to the manga clubroom, draw and then head to the warehouse via usual summons.

But with it being summer break, it seems the warehouse was becoming something akin to a 2nd club room of sorts. Well, given the fact that a good number of members were also in the manga club together, no real surprise there. Anyways, Slung over her back was a black pull string bag, once again showing how unfeminine Akane is, and in it were her sketch book and drawing supplies. Inside the warehouse were 3 people; Rui, Kotori and another girl. It took her a moment to remember, Ah, latest kidnappe'. Well, she didn't know the girl at all and her dungeon wasn't exactly thrilling, so it'll be understandable that she wouldn't recall her, yea?

Well, Akane's reasoning aside, it was clear that she wasn't exactly interested in getting to know people better. That kind of thing just happens on its own, ya know? Like how the majority of the people just [i] happen[/i] to be in the manga club. Moving on, Apparently, Ryan, Mako, [s]Saki[/s] Sato and the Fanatic (Sumaru), whether or not he truly is a 'fanatic' matters not to her, arrived before her but decided to take a little trip to the mirror world together. She was tempted to go in after them, but the thought of being on the same team as Sumaru shut that thought down. Her and 'those' types (religious) just don't mix, so she'll pass.

Besides, she had some drawing to catch up on (no thanks to Igor's 'summons' last night) and couldn't exactly relax at her place lately, not with her dad's goons swarming the area. Sheesh, after since that 'incident' she just can't seem to get some peace at her own place. Normally, one would say 'Well, than just go talk to your father?' but if they actually knew who her father was and what he did for a living, I wonder what they'd say then? [i]The man is too over-protective, no matter how many times I tell him 'I'm fine, so leave me alone already!' it's just in one ear and out the other with him.[/i]

Making her way past the new girl, Akane made her towards one of the chairs that Rui had just set up. She had assumed Rui already has smooth talked his way into recruiting yet another person to the team but that thought was shut down with the girls next line. Waiting for the girl to finish, Akane finally decided to say something. [color=9e0b0f][b]"If you don't even know that much, then why are you here exactly? This isn't exactly a place for [i]tourists[/i] you know?"[/b][/color] A part of her was tempted to 'escort' her out of the warehouse, but she resisted the irritation, that was building from the girl's personality, and refrained. 

It was best to let Rui deal with this.
