Kanbaru, she said her name was, and seems like she had a dream about cats with televisions for heads. Honestly, compared to some of the rumors that Akiko had heard about Miso City, it seemed pretty right on for one of them, being the rumor of a weird organization in the city. They were [i]very[/i] secretive, though, so she literally only caught very slight wind of the existence of the club. Then, there was the arrival of the mysterious cloaked figure, who had spoke to Rose before anyone else, following that by escorting her down the steps of the Tower's entrance. Afterwards, he went about talking about the various different people in the area. First about Umi, then going to the sad kid, then going to herself ([color=hotpink]"You're not much of a looker either, pal."[/color]), then to Kanbaru, and then he turned to leave. He turned once more, flicking something at Kanbaru, then trying to leave. Umi grabbed him and said something about her friend being in the tower, which seemed... rather odd, all things considered. Had the tower really only been there for a month? Then, Rose piped up once more. Sheesh, she was a talkative one, wasn't she? Regardless, she had intentions of being a pirate and described herself as a 'Rose Mage', whatever that means. Interesting development, that, but a welcome one regardless. What was more interesting than that, however, was the blade show she put on before telling everyone she didn't know a thing before about knife tricks. Seems like the dream might've awoken some powers within these people, herself included. Then Rose asked about the schticks of everyone else. Akiko figured she better get it over with, so she extended her hands out and pulled her fans out of... somewhere. She knew what they were from, that very thing being her Heart, but she didn't know (or very much care) about how she manifested them. [color=hotpink]"Well, if we're all getting cozy with eachother, I'm Akiko."[/color] The brunette twirled around on the ball of her foot before descending into a bow, bringing her body back up and holding a fan in front of her face as she continued. [color=hotpink]"I'm looking forward to working with [i]all[/i] of you, if you'll gladly have me as your bard~!"[/color]
