[indent]Takara sat confused amid her fellow first years. Wow, so many faces! She’d have to get introduced to all of them. She took note of as many names as she could, but quickly lost track. [abbr=Creepily leaned over me.]Adachi Chen[/abbr], [abbr=Stuck up? Maybe just nervous. I don’t blame her! Especially with that creep trying to chat her up!]Mizuhana Yoshiba[/abbr], [abbr=I think? Surprised I could pick that up in the middle of all this talk!]Ookouchi Yachiyo[/abbr], [abbr=No idea! Too much chatter!]Chikai Yuki[/abbr], and, well, a bunch of others. Wow, it sure was crowded all of a sudden. She’d intended to introduce herself to, uh, Yoshiba (Yeah! That’s right!) and then meet some of the others afterward. There was probably going to be some sort of group introduction at the beginning of classes, directly or not. Whew, now there was some creep leaning over her to grin at Yoshiba. Yikes. Oh, now he was talking about Tokyo?

Then some other kid, Yuki (Yeah! That was right too!), piped up about Tokyo too!

[color=B22222][b]”Hey! I’m from Tokyo too! I’m Katō Takara!”[/b][/color]

Takara practically shouted it at the Tokyo crowd. Her excitement was clear in her voice, and the way she swiveled to view the Tokyo crowd was a bit too quick to be mistaken for anything else. But she couldn’t see any girls in the Tokyo crowd right now aside from some girl from Okayama, which was a bit disappointing. She caught her name, [abbr=Cute name for a weird girl! Guess that’s just how they are in Okayama!]Rin[/abbr], just at the end of whatever it was that she was saying.

Takara flexed her arms with excitement, pumping one in the air to express pride in where she lived. It was, admittedly, a weird place for someone like her to live, but considering her connection to Sumo, it wasn’t that surprising. It was mostly so her father wouldn’t have to commute far, but it made things a little more difficult for Takara and her mother. But still, it was her home and [i]plus[/i] it was the world’s best place for Sumo, so of [b]course[/b] she’d be proud to live there! Who wouldn’t?[/indent]
