[h2]Tachibana Hibiki[/h2]

With the day off from training or anything else--and even better, tests and studying over--there was plenty of time for Hibiki to consider doing something more relaxing. For instance, paying a visit to Chris! There was always the possibility of her getting lonely, and so the younger girl thought it would be an excellent idea to come over and hang out for a while. It didn't [i]hurt[/i] that her apartment was the best furnished of any that the S.O.N.G. members happened to live in.

But of course, as soon as she said goodbye to Miku and left to make the trip, she found herself... in an arcade? Rows of blinking lights, machiens trying to attract her attention... at first, the brunette was apprehensive. There was so much wrong with unexpectedly finding yourself transported to an arcade, because she [i]knew[/i] that she didn't live right next to one. It was also, though, a fairly benign place to be, and with a lack of some [i]pressing[/i] reason to go on alert, she found herself looking at some of the prizes in the process.

And then she saw the impossible. Sat in a claw machine, a collection of figures wearing what was undoubtedly Lydian Academy uniforms. Why on Earth would anyone have bothered to make plushies like [i]that?[/i] It was, as far as the public was concerned, just another school--but then something important caught her eye. [i]That[/i] one was undoubtedly Tsubasa, even if she had graduated now; the strange, [i]strange[/i] hairstyle confirmed it. But just to one side, there was one that could only resemble...!

As an employee warned her a minute later, hot-blooded yelling [i]wasn't[/i] appreciated for a claw machine, nor did it actually improve your chances of winning. But at least she had gotten what she wanted by then: her very own Miku! Not that it held a candle to the real thing, but it was nice, even if she was confused why she was in an arcade.

As the girl was making her way out of the arcade, stood behind a white-haired girl, Hibiki's phone started to ring... Chris? Did she need something? "Hello?"
