Mami Tomoe stood in line inside of a building nearby. Around her were people of various stature and origins. She held in her hand a piece of paper, waiting patiently as the line moved forward. This paper was a now expired license to use magic in her native universe. She needed to renew it so that she could continue to hunt down Wraiths in order to sustain herself.

On a television screen hanging in the room showed the building next door- The Court of the Ethereals. The accused man stood before the council, as they laid out the charges against him. He apparently attempted to disrupt reality fields to allow "rebel forces" to use some magic. Based on the tone and connotation, it seemed to Mami that the man had failed. 

However, the man- Vas'gard- began to accuse the council of unjustly ruling the populace, before attempting to use some sort of magic. He must've known that there would be no way that he could have succeeded. The Court must have more Reality Field Generators in its walls than any other building. Vas'gard's attempt had to be purely for show- either that, or he was a real idiot.

[i]How tragic,[/i] Mami thought to herself. [i]That people must still rebel against the council. Even if there were a true problem, a show of force would not solve anything. It would only serve to separate people into factions, initiate war and cause countless losses. No, violence is always a last resort.[/i]

"Ms. Tomoe?" A voice called. Mami snapped out of her thoughts and turned to the man that called her name. She nodded and stood, walking over to his desk. "May you please tell me why you're here, and show me your ID?"

The blonde girl produced two papers for the man- one was her identification, detailing her physical description, universe of origin and abilities. The other was her license to hunt in her native universe. "I need to renew this license," she explained, "So that i may continue to hunt creatures in my universe. They drop items I require to sustain myself."

"Hmm... yes, it says that here..." The man looked over both papers for a minute. "Alright, approved. Just fill out this form please, and i can issue you a new license."

Mami took the paper that the man offered him and filled in the few necessary lines in elegant Japanese writing. Once it was complete, the man placed a sticker on Mami's lisence and returned it to her, along with her ID. "Thank you." She said.

"Not a problem. Have a wonderful day." He gave Mami a smile as she left.
