[color=hotpink]"Grrgh! Son of a bitch!"[/color] Akiko shouted as she clutched her head tightly. The last five seconds were hell on her, but they would be short lived as she saw the black hole form on the battlefield. Her immediate reaction was to get up and run, but she soon found that it was futile, her body being lifted off the ground and pulled back into the dark hole behind her, everything becoming black as they faded away into obscurity, if only for a little while.

Once they awoke, they found something interesting that they hadn't possessed before, which was a card labeled "Smitten Kitten". Akiko didn't know what to first acknowledge between the tavern the party was in and the card she was holding. She chose the former, though she really didn't have much to say. It was a tavern, with barrels of alcohol and barstools against the counter. It was weird to go from a battlefield to this place, but outside of that it just seemed oddly normal. This must be one of those "Safe Rooms" she heard about in the games her colleague played in her spare time. Maybe she could tend to the headache she had now.

Now, onto the more pressing matter, with the card over there in Umi's hand summoning a whole other girl to the game, one of whom Kanbaru seemed to have a fond interest in, calling her 'Touka' and hinting at a club they were both in. So these cards hold some form of spirit of a specific person or... thing. Akiko was very confused why this catgirl, was on her card. She could've sworn this was on a pillow somewhere in a mall she visited once. Regardless, Akiko rubbed her head and held her own card out, trying to summon forth what the Smitten Kitten had to offer. Maybe this would be the first of the order of Knights she wished to have? Solo Player didn't really hint at that, but who knows? 

[color=hotpink]"Let's see what my card holds..."[/color]

A few seconds passed with nothing happening, then the card began to glow.
