[b][u]Taka Tsuin[/u][/b]

Taka crossed his arms as Alice introduced herself as the 'Ultimate Knight'. He didn't know much about folklore and history, much less of non-Japanese origin, but it still sounded odd to him. She didn't look much heroic, not the slightest bit. Her awkward way of speaking also meant she probably wasn't used to talking to people, but if this is her standard speech pattern, then it's no wonder. Taka didn't have any reason to distrust the girl, though, so he went along with it anyway. He pocketed one of his hands while he used the other's thumb to point to himself.

"Taka Tsuin. Ultimate Cross-dresser. Nice to meetcha."

He dropped the thumb and looked towards his left, seeing a crowd of people off in the distance that were busy talking to each other... or something to that effect, anyway. A few of them looked a lot more panicked than the chick in front of him, so at least there was slight comfort in the fact Taka wasn't dealing with someone like them.

"Nobody's got a damned clue... Not that Snow chick or that purple-haired asshole. This whole thing's a goddamn mess."

The cross-dresser clicked his tongue and looked back to Alice, his expression having softened to a neutral stare.

"I saw you were gonna go to the gate over there. Would you mind if I tagged along? I'd like to get some idea of whatever the hell's going on, but everyone I've talked to's been more worried about blamin' and fightin' each other than actually finding out the important stuff."
