Leo quietly sat by and watched as the others talked, taking in the food with a quiet focus that seemed a bit unlike him... Mainly because it really was. The occasional shaking had resumed underneath them, and if the young man knew [i]anything[/i] about how his life tended to end up, it was that at times like these things usually started to go horribly, [i]horribly[/i] wrong for himself and everyone else around him.

In other words, now was the time to eat and savor the moment before everything got too out of hand.

"I think it's good that we're getting more people on board for this, at least," he said between bites, catching his cup of water as the rumbling began to hit a fever pitch. "Okay, this is just starting to get out of hand. What's going [i]on[/i] outside?!"

As if on cue, Sonic came flying in from one of the windows, a few singed hairs on its head as it grabbed Leo's shirt by the collar and began to rapidly point outside in a panic. With a few beads of sweat running down his forehead now, the young man took the glass of water with him and walked over to the restaurant's exit to peek outside...

Only to immediately duck back inside and close the door, a small part of his fair also having been singed off.

"Um... Guys? I think we might have a problem," he said, calmly pointing out the door towards the street.

Indeed, there was now a small army of aliens now streaming down the streets, firing their weapons at any people who were unlucky enough to be standing in the way.

Or, in the case of the insectoid ones, infecting and killing people to add more to their ranks as they went.

[h2][center]Hinanawi Tenshi[/center][/h2]
Tenshi couldn't help but laugh as she watched Mordred struggling with the strange machine in front of her, crossing her arms over her chest as she gave off an aura of (perceived) confidence. The idea seemed simple enough for the Celestial, at least; press button, move the weird machine-arm-thing that she was used to seeing the kappa use, and let go. Simple!

"Hey, let me have a try," she said, slipping past Mordred to try her hand at a machine adjacent to the one she was at. A few coins were added into the machine (after a bit of fumbling), and off the girl went!

To fail. And more coins were added. And another failure.

By the third try she seemed to be just as angry as Mordred.

"Hey, come on! This has to be cheating, right? Right?! Even festival games aren't as crazy as this!" she shouted, stomping her right foot on the ground and (inadvertently) causing a small, localized earthquake. "I swear, I'll get this... I'm not sure what it is, but it looks soft! Whatever!"

As soon as Hibiki let the giant wolf down, it took a few steps back and slowly attempted to move its limbs about, as if to check for any damage, before turning towards the weird man among the group and tilt its head in confusion. It seemed to understand what was being said, but the question itself seemed to make no sense at all to it. Not like it could speak, though.

The biker, of course, seemed to stare at the group for a moment before sagging her shoulders. She was used to weird occurrences back in Ikebukuro, of course, but this... It was, admittedly, a bit much for her.

"You don't think that sending a giant wolf careening across the sky is more attention-grabbing than what it's been doing since last night?" she typed, half expecting the group to know why the police had evacuated the area before realizing that if that [i]was[/i] the case, they might not have come at all. "There was a giant earthquake in the middle of the region here, and this wolf's been doing nothing but circling that place all night. I don't know if it's looking for someone or something, or if it's trying to keep people out, but I can't just overlook something like that in the first place."

"Coming right up!"

As soon as Nanoha made her order, the chef nodded and quickly got to work, jumping back and forth between different workstations in the kitchen as the smell of food cooking filled the air. It didn't take long for the food to be done cooking, if anything—only a few minutes of work were needed before all of the dishes were ready and on the table.

"Hope it's all to your liking. Minami, got you the usual, so... Mind explaining a bit more about this whole situation?" Sakajima finally said, taking a seat near the two as he took a glance by the door. "Honestly, dunno why I opened up after all those messes yesterday; probably ain't gonna be anyone coming out to eat anyhow today."

"Oh, thanks," the Private responded, handing over some money to the chef (who promptly slipped it into his pocket) before nodding. "Well, how much do you know?"

"Earthquakes, various anime enemies popping out of the woodwork, people going missing... About what you'd expect on an incident of this scale."

"Hm... Any local incidents? Gossip from last night?"

"I heard one of the regulars—you know Endo, the otaku kid from five blocks down—shouting something about 'Noise' near his home. Nobody could understand a lick of what he was saying outside of that, though, so everyone else here was kind of just... Eating before they left."

With that minor information-gathering session finished, Sakajima turned towards Nanoha and smiled.

"So... Nanoha? The actual Nanoha? Honestly, I have two questions. One: do you have anything to prove that you're the real deal?" he asked before leaning forward, a smile on his face. "And two: how's my food compared to where you're from? Second question's more important, of course, but I'm not going to pass a chance like this up. Imagine the buzz I could get after all this is over, y'know?"
