Let's go to my room. (Or else mom will get even more worried than she is now...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/VXwyd1A.png[/img] Ted: In that case, lead the way. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sbuQd0U.png[/img] Tiane: (I'm guessing by her face that she knows she's going to get involved sooner or later.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/Xq3sPpG.png[/img] Andorina: Am I allowed to hear this too? I mean...it seems important. We all went to serious for a moment. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jdUIwsC.png[/img] Rayla: Well, you do need some confirmation on "that". Of course, you have to keep a secret if the answer to our "doubts" is yes. (Wheter Kaori is psychic user or not...but since she was chosen by Azura, there's little room for doubt...but might as well go through the motions to be really sure whether or not those will be her powers or if she's going to be like Tiane.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/MZYcHvG.png[/img] Andorina: Alright. I'll go get Kaori Mom's cake and meet you all there. [u][i]Spring Zone - Outside of Hiagor's Office[/i][/u] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbNhtKAwGuk]Investigation ~ Middlegame 2009[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7v7LbaT.png[/img] Hiagor: Still raining...Guess meteorology is having a field day with this rain. Then, he saw a familiar face passing through. She was sharing an umbrella with someone. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Xa0QsoN.png[/img] Hiagor: You're... [img]https://i.imgur.com/DlmklHY.png[/img] Miolina: Oh, hi Mr. Detective. Going somewhere in the middle of this rain? [img]https://i.imgur.com/VmQNUOd.png[/img] Hiagor: You can say that. Any rumors you've caught wind of? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ROHF5fa.png[/img] Miolina: There's this one, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rkbH2xT.png[/img] Hiagor: What is it if you do not mind telling me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/IT2bjz4.png[/img] Miolina: Well...Aparently, there's a psychic user at that school in Winter District, but as I said, there's nothing concrete yet. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: (Ah, so she already knows of it.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/k6boreV.png[/img] Miolina: Still, I don't think a simple rumor isn't going to stop "The evil Janitors" They most likely have a pattern that they are following regarding the people they are kidnapping. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ikCPFeW.png[/img] Hiagor: Really now? [img]https://i.imgur.com/y66pdZ0.png[/img] Miolina: I'm sure they have their ways to know or at least suspect if one is or isn't a psyccer and then act upon that guess and capture said person. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t7Aekjz.png[/img] Hiagor: When I think about it, they haven't returned anyone they have captured yet. They either guessed it right or are keeping the person for their experiments. [img]https://i.imgur.com/g1l6r9M.png[/img] Miolina: Or they are most likely...dead. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ikCPFeW.png[/img] Hiagor: What do you mean? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxUOZoJ.png[/img] Miolina: Discussing about this made me remember of this one episode that happened an year ago. I'm sure you can guess what I'm talking about. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EIHRebW.png[/img] Hiagor: Hmmm...An kidnapping event that ended up with the hostage's death that got our attention...Ah! The Getsuki family case. Her parents were found dead at their home, while their daughter was found near a pile of bodies. Said bodies being most likely the same people that attacked her parents and tried to kidnapped her. Nobody knows how they died, but one thing for sure, they had business with the Getsukis. [img]https://i.imgur.com/kKeyMGF.png[/img] Miolina: Whether she was special or not...we'll never know. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ovEdjuJ.png[/img] Pairah: Hey...can we go already? [img]https://i.imgur.com/DlmklHY.png[/img] Miolina: Patience my friend. I'm just doing some catch up with Mr. Detective. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1m6mCEf.png[/img] Hiagor: Hmmm...I don't believe we've met Miss... [img]https://i.imgur.com/KGegBu4.png[/img] Pairah: I'm Miss "My name is none of your business!" ...Urgh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/gBBuHh4.png[/img] Miolina: Forgive her. She fell down some stairs and I'm taking her to the hospital...Her mood isn't exactly one of the best ones at the moment. [img]https://i.imgur.com/2hD4zH8.png[/img] Pairah: And there you have it...now shut up before I throw you down a flight. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0kF5TlB.png[/img] Hiagor: (I feel like she started hating me the moment she saw me...) Then you made the wrong turn. The hospital is in that direction. [img]https://i.imgur.com/M6aTU9j.png[/img] Miolina: OH! My bad! [img]https://i.imgur.com/GidrM1l.png[/img] Hiagor: Are you sure such a well informed person as yourself should be missing the location of the hospital? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vByFRr7.png[/img] Miolina: Something probably distracted me. My curiosity often distracts me of my goals sometimes. Isn't that right my friend? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rE1YCEW.png[/img] Pairah: Don't ask me... [img]https://i.imgur.com/t7Aekjz.png[/img] Hiagor: If she fell down some stairs, walking should be the last thing she should be doing. Couldn't you pay a bus for her? [img]https://i.imgur.com/R9Ugdqf.png[/img] Miolina: I barely use them...The sheet with their schedules is back at home...but you're right. If memory serves right, the next bus stop is a bit far. [img]https://i.imgur.com/l42G0TQ.png[/img] Hiagor: Well...In that case, maybe I can carry her myself? [img]https://i.imgur.com/zOFuOGb.png[/img] Pairah: No thanks...I'm...fine... [img]https://i.imgur.com/VmQNUOd.png[/img] Hiagor: Really though? [img]https://i.imgur.com/HUvJOQG.png[/img] Pairah: Yes...shut up... [img]https://i.imgur.com/xDlggFV.png[/img] Hiagor: But, in your current condition, it might get wor- [img]https://i.imgur.com/cSYef5v.png[/img] Pairah: Oh for the love of... **music stops** [img]https://i.imgur.com/JzfgeIr.png[/img] Pairah: I JUST WANT YOU OUT OF MY SIGHT!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/HZpTKhO.png[/img] Hiagor: (She definitively hates me now.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/cvHyFlu.png[/img] Miolina: Woop! [img]https://i.imgur.com/4Bz7y7q.png[/img] Pairah: Wah! Miolina easily picks Pairah up and starts carrying her away from Hiagor. [img]https://i.imgur.com/2Q5C6Jj.png[/img] Miolina: I'll be more than enough to help her Mr. Detective. We'll talk more later. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ovEdjuJ.png[/img] Pairah: Hey! Put me down! I can wa-ARGH!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/cvHyFlu.png[/img] Miolina: See? If you keep getting too excited, your wounds will ruin your fun. [img]https://i.imgur.com/uPXPy0r.png[/img] Pairah: Urgh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/FvEVuDq.png[/img] Miolina: Bu-Bye Mr. Detective!!! Enjoy the rain while it lasts. Summer is going to drain all of our water. [img]https://i.imgur.com/l42G0TQ.png[/img] Hiagor: Y-Yeah...Bye... (Just what are you doing with her Miolina? I doubt you're just helping her out of goodwil. I'm sure there's some story behind that new friend of hers.) [hider=Introduction to the 2ND Team] [i][u]Summer Area - Old Building[/u][/i] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naMoaa8Io_E]A drunkard of wilderness[/url] On the second floor of the structure that was occupied by the homeless people, there was a lone girl playing the guitar, looking at the rain through the window. She couldn't go at the Summer Park to play it in hopes of some change and so she decided to spend the day polishing her skills instead. The only thing in her stomach was the breakfast that a friend of hers brought to her at the morning. She knew what she was getting into, so she was prepared to spend the days without eating a thing. Such suffering paled in comparison to what the girl went through in the past year. She spend some time playing some notes until a girl's voice called her attention. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Z7dSx30.png[/img] ???: I thought you went back to your "home" thanks to the rain Sheila...but you were actually here... She looks behind and sees a girl that looked around her age. She had with white hair and unnatural yellow eyes. The girl wore a black shirt from an expensive brand named "The Crown". She also wore a red skirt wit a bow. She also had a cross that she used as a pendant, but it wasn't to show that she was a woman of faith. She carried a thin literature book in one hand and a lunch box in the other. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HncZvik.png[/img] Sheila: Sorry for that Danny...I should've warned you first. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7Sz5tTS.png[/img] Daniella: On the bright side, I had the time to immerse myself more on this book while I walked thanks to going to the wrong place first. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6nzNJ8I.png[/img] Sheila: (Wasn't she afraid of it getting wet on the rain? She can't have "that" much focus...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/q9Ifbii.png[/img] Daniella: You looked like you were in deep thought. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EWVoanP.png[/img] Sheila: It's what happens when I look at the rain... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ES3CmDW.png[/img] Daniella: Were you having a good time perhaps? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GqCqdLl.png[/img] Sheila: Not really...I'm just waiting for the "day that nothing happened so far" to be over. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZxS2J5s.png[/img] Daniella: I see...anyway, here's your lunch...I figured you wouldn't be able to eat today so I brought you this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/YhpKAzp.png[/img] Sheila: You didn't had to... [img]https://i.imgur.com/QnRYAz6.png[/img] Daniella: So...Have you found any interesting tale to share with me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vkmu4n4.png[/img] Sheila: Nothing more interesting than the book you're reading. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ES3CmDW.png[/img] Daniella: You don't even know what I'm reading, how can you tell if it's interesting or not? [img]https://i.imgur.com/1TtEf2o.png[/img] Sheila: You seemed so interested on keeping reading it... [img]https://i.imgur.com/XMa4Smz.png[/img] Daniella: Still doesn't mean that you know its contents. I know you aren't psychic. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8tlSFel.png[/img] Sheila: You got me then...What is the book about? [img]https://i.imgur.com/7Sz5tTS.png[/img] Daniella: Red Hiding Hood. One of its many interpretations anyway. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HncZvik.png[/img] Sheila: It's something you've seen before right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/q9Ifbii.png[/img] Daniella: Exactly. When I think about it, I should've got that "Parasite Joker" book instead. It hasn't been released worldwide but it has a cult following in our country, and I'm curious to know about why it didn't go so far. I'm not sure what I was thinking when choose to read a story I've heard one thousand times already. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8hugncF.png[/img] Sheila: Maybe you wanted to get in touch with your inner child? [img]https://i.imgur.com/LvTO7mF.png[/img] Daniella: You might actually not be that far off. [img]https://i.imgur.com/FlMDq6l.png[/img] Sheila: Well, keep having a good read. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7Sz5tTS.png[/img] Daniella: I'll ask again: Have you found any interesting tale to share with me? And the attack on Mr. F's Mansion doesn't count. That's all over the news already. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7P5dUHf.png[/img] Sheila: Okay then... Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdMXo1i90qs]Bottomless Pit[/url] Sheila finally opened the lunch box she was given and started to eat its contents while telling the "tale" that Daniella was so interested in listening. [img]https://i.imgur.com/fNrDm9l.png[/img] Sheila: This is probably not much but...I've been seeing some strange people at the summer park as of late. [img]https://i.imgur.com/DKsCFKh.png[/img] Daniella: Strange how? [img]https://i.imgur.com/0iBZro0.png[/img] Sheila: Once in a while, they would talk on their communicators, as if they were observing something. [img]https://i.imgur.com/XMa4Smz.png[/img] Daniella: I assume they weren't the police. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Viu7lY7.png[/img] Sheila: Correct. They started showing up yesterday. They would roam the park for a while, then one of them would isolate themselves and started talking on their communicator. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EzN5xyq.png[/img] Daniella: It really does look like they are waiting for something...But what exactly? [img]https://i.imgur.com/kGSfilZ.png[/img] Sheila: Whatever they were waiting for, didn't happen yesterday. I saw them again before it started raining. This time, their numbers had increased...as if they were gathering for something. Sadly, I couldn't stay for long. [img]https://i.imgur.com/D6DxMwb.png[/img] Daniella: Want go back there and check it out? I was going to lend you a spare umbrella anyway. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t6ABZLo.png[/img] Sheila: Not a bad idea. I'll go leave my trusty guitar back to my place, then go check it out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/CfxFQNW.png[/img] Daniella: It doesn't look like the rain is going to stop so soon...Guess winter really wants to stay for a while longer...Oh Right...I won't let you go alone though. I'll be calling Mr. Bryan to make you company. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EWVoanP.png[/img] Sheila: Bryan? [img]https://i.imgur.com/2NqlZIQ.png[/img] Daniella Green haired man who is two years older than us, wears a blue shirt with a hood. Has a pair of wings sticking out of his back. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8tlSFel.png[/img] Sheila: Oh, that's Kenneth, right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/nRkFx7C.png[/img] Daniella: The very same one. You at least remember his face right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/YhpKAzp.png[/img] Sheila: Even if I didn't, I would reconize him by his...um...fashion sense anyway. I'll be waiting for him there. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7Sz5tTS.png[/img] Daniella: By the way, do you enjoy classic music? [img]https://i.imgur.com/6nzNJ8I.png[/img] Sheila: Um...Not really a genre that I listen to...But nothing against it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QnRYAz6.png[/img] Daniella: He took a liking to this genre of music, that's all. You'll probably get dragged under his pace if you don't think of something to entertain him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/fNrDm9l.png[/img] Sheila: Oh...Well...Maybe I can get him interested in the guitar? [img]https://i.imgur.com/0iIqaQm.png[/img] Daniella: Have fun Sheila! [img]https://i.imgur.com/HncZvik.png[/img] Sheila: I sure hope I do... Daniella left the building, and soon, Sheila did as well. The rain kept pouring down on the city, not showing any signs of stopping anytime soon. [img]https://i.imgur.com/XsEmnXV.png[/img] Sheila: Well...I was needing the bath so...Time to risk catching a cold. She started running towards her "home", but then, she almost bumped into someone. [img]https://i.imgur.com/cRRL4NZ.png[/img] ???: Whoa! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ekx6e02.png[/img] Sheila: Ah! Sorry, kinda in a hurry. Bye! [img]https://i.imgur.com/SayR9BV.png[/img] ???: Be careful not to slip. [img]https://i.imgur.com/m2bwi5n.png[/img] Sheila: Wah! Sheila ended up sliping on the wet floor anyway, but she kept her balance and didn't crash on the floor. She took deep breaths in relief. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QToCJwp.png[/img] Sheila: Whew...Alright...I'll take it easy. Thanks for the warning. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7HILFJI.png[/img] ???: You're welcome... Then, the girl saw Sheila walk away until she was out of sight. [img]https://i.imgur.com/CoeMZxz.png[/img] ???: Hm...I thought I felt something when she got closer...eh, must be my imagination.
