In similar manners to others in the Tower, Lin and Elijah were whisked away suddenly, though not by malicious winds. By choice or chance, they were deposited back in Cait’s bar for safekeeping, though that only meant lesser numbers for the two divided groups in the new floor. Of course, Itsuko would know nothing of this. [color=f26522]“Technically, yeah. I think. You can really do whatever since that’s a crime in itself,”[/color] Itsuko answered with a puff of pride at Caprice. [color=f26522]“So long as you-woah, hey calm down kid!”[/color] The blonde nearly lurched backwards under Takara’s glomp.

Though in hindsight, it was less of a glomp and more of a yank once Takara grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to the group of….strangely older girls accompanying him. Hand in hand now, Itsuko blinked at the new link she was a part of. [color=f26522]“Anyway, if you’re transfer students, then I can sure show you how we do things here in the big city! The cops aren’t usually strictlers but you know, it’s close enough to the Umbral Games. No one wants to be accused of cheating before the actual cheating!”[/color] She tugged once on Takara’s hand, spying his other was held by Caprice.

[color=f26522]“Not that I’m one to press, but it [i]is[/i] kind of weird seeing you tog around a toddler with you….unless, gasp! You’re totally doing a crime right now, before anyone else! I bet you kidnapped this kid, didn’t you!”[/color] There was too much excitement in Itsuko’s voice to be considered normal but thankfully the sentiments died down when something else caught her attention. It would have caught all four of them off guard as a harsh roaring reverberated throughout the streets, reaching even the furthest corners of the alleyways. [color=f26522]“What was…?”[/color]

The roaring sounded mechanical and hideous, like a beltering beast in the darkness. And it was coming from Kanbaru’s bike. Out of her hands and out of her control, the motorcycle suddenly roared to life on its own, uncaring of its driver or the passengers. Snarling, its wheels kicked up whatever remained of the ice bridge, sending splinters of frost and steam in the air. The bike roared past Iona now in the opposite direction Kanbaru drove it, streaking down the city road as if fueled by incomprehensible malice that hounded these streets.
