	Masami stepped off of the bus, taking her first steps onto the sidewalk, while dragging her suitcases down the treads of the vehicle. In reality, they were her first steps [i]in [color=f26522]Rhea[/color][/i] as well. And they happened to be in the dead of night.
	Originally, the vehicle was supposed to arrive at noon, but they had a slight delay seeing as certain buses didn't allow [i]pets[/i]. Especially ones that [i]talked[/i]. As a result, the the coach was arriving at nearly midnight, along with a slightly grumpy, and tired, Masami. But she was eager.

	As soon as her bags left the last step of the bus, the doors swept closed, and the vehicle sped off, leaving Masami alone. But not actually.

	While she couldn't see as well as she'd like, she could still hear and smell just fine. And there was a lot more activity this late at night than she expected. Across the street, in the middle of a park, there was a ring of people, accompanied by bouts of commotion, and cheering. It seemed as if there was a fight.

	Masami hurriedly drug her cases across the road, and lifted them onto a nearby bench a few dozen feet or so away from the small crowd, then walked towards it.

	As she got closer, the cheering increased as a bout of electricity threw one participant out of then ring. "C'mon, who's next?!" a voice shouted from where the student had been blasted.
	Masami pondered her choice. [color=f49ac2][i]Picking fights this early upon my arrival? Probably not a good idea..but maybe it's a sport here?![/i][/color] Just as she began to raise her arm and was about to call out, another voice interrupted her.
[color=bc8dbf]
	"Your opponent will be none other than I, Andras, the Demon Lady of Despair!"[/color] It called. Masami looked directly at the voice that came from the relative darkness, as the speaker dropped from a nearby tree. [color=bc8dbf]"What do you say, mortal?"[/color]
[color=f49ac2][i]
	Oh? A title? This person must be very important here. I better not interrupt their bout.[/i][/color] Masami thought as she shook sleep from her eyes.
	Rather than demand she fight first, she called out [color=f49ac2]"I'll take on the winner!"[/color] raising her arm as high as she could, developing an eager and happy face as she spoke the words, looking over to the hooded figure.

	[color=f49ac2][i]WAIT... [u]DEMON[/u] LADY!?!?[/i][/color] she thought, her tails standing on end.
