For once, Ryuu had a "mega mind" moment with the brilliant idea of following Andromeda without babbling for longer.

There were a handful of people who they could probably meet and group up with in time. He'd worry about flights and the like later. As dense as he could be, even he could tell that what just happened wasn't some natural disaster. He could just feel it from the heat of the magic caused in the city.

[color=f26522][i]I dunno what the hell any of this is, but it definitely got my attention.[/i][/color]

He began looking around, following Andromeda as gracefully as he could- with no grace at all.

[color=6ecff6]"Well, I meant..."[/color]

As he spoke, Mark froze as if he were recalling something from his memory. He glanced to the side, remaining frozen awkwardly for a moment before glancing back at the woman before him.

[color=6ecff6]"...thhhhhhat in a rhetorical sense, of course,"[/color] he finished with a small smile. [color=6ecff6]"Come on, come on! It's better to be with everyone than be out here. The more the merrier, right?"[/color]

Remembering that there were probably thousands of people mourning or outright traumatized by the sudden event earlier, Mark quickly added in, [color=6ecff6]"Plus, it's probably safer there than here. If there's anybody you know of, they're most likely there."[/color]

With a friendly gesture motioning for Mizuki to follow him, Mark began walking away from the center of the city. It was like he never swung around the city wildly earlier.

A group of ARK soldiers emerged with several magic forensic scientists from the center of the city, entering the ring for what seemed to be a second time. All forms of electronic communication in the vicinity were shut down- as they were essentially locked out, they were constantly sent to analyze, gather information, and return to the ring. Judging by how their guards seemed less tense than before, it seemed that there wasn't going to be any more of what just happened.

As much as she wanted to talk with them, she wasn't sure if she wanted to bother the busy people. All civilians were kept within the barriers as of now due to safety procedure.

[u]Magic Forensics[/u]- they were studied by those accustomed to the [i]science[/i] behind magic, as well as identifying the source of magic. As odd as it sounded, magic still needed to manipulate matter and the like. Most forms of magic often left "spell fingerprinting," or outside of forensics lingo, unique traces of magic that can only be left by specific people. In a sense, they were like ballistic marks, only less metal and more otherworldly.

Granted, not many people knew of this field's very existence. Magic was only known to exist, yet not be used by people, after all. First formed in Kora after a disclosed incident, Vermilla herself only knew small portions of information on the magic forensics field, and knew even less behind what incident caused its creation in the first place. To the public, they would probably look like regular forensics scientists due to their secrecy from the public.

Judging by the looks on their faces, it seemed like the event altogether was an anomaly. That didn't do much to quell her worries. Turning to the people she was following, she-

Huh?

[color=ed145b][i]H-Hey![/i][/color] Vermilla thought as she realized the people she followed started running. [color=ed145b][i]Did I scare them off? I was trying to talk to them, too![/i][/color]

Though her lips remained sealed, she followed the man and woman.
