No stranger to abnormalities herself, those experiences usually didn’t end up in her almost being rammed by flying motorcycles. She ignored Iona and her little cop patrol-rather intentionally she might add-in favor of hearing out the rider’s logic as well as introductions. [color=f26522]“Oh, uh, well you can call me Itsuko! Death by motorcycle isn’t the strangest thing I’ve ever seen, but-”[/color] She nearly jumped as the “bug” turned out to be a girl, one barely as big as her fist. [color=f26522]“Ok, no, now [i]that’s[/i] the strangest thing I’ve ever seen,”[/color] she said incredulously. [color=f26522]“Now wait just a minute little lady. How can you be a pirate and a fairy? Why, those two things just don’t mix! You guys some kind of bard travelers or something?”[/color] The logic made sense, but extraordinary powers and people dressed in weird garbs was nothing new in this world, or rather, Floor. A final look was passed to Clair now and the blonde casually carried Rose around still in her palm as she walked up to the fox [color=f26522]“Hey, uh, you look familiar. Have we met before?”[/color] Before she could ponder on that anymore, the swooping presence of authority passed a shadow over them all. Only one person could have made Iona into a blushing schoolgirl so quickly and so Itsuko didn’t even part him a glance. [color=f26522]“Really? You brought the cops and the President on us? You actual killjoy,”[/color] she said loudly, uncaring if the angel heard her while sticking a tongue out for good measure. While Iona’s reaction was no doubt sour, the Student President merely laughed heartily in good nature before raising his hand. A simple gesture was all that was needed to disperse the robotic police, sending them at ease. One by one, the alleyway was filed out until only the large group of delinquents, Iona, and the Student President remained. [color=slategray]“It’s good to see you too Itsuko. Causing trouble in these parts again?”[/color] He ignored her response of, [color=f26522]“Bite me,”[/color] if only to pay attention to the bluenette huddling closer to him. His amused smile didn’t waver even as Kanbaru leered with her chest thrust. [color=slategray]“You must be the leader of the bunch? Who else can be so forward and speak the group’s mind. The spirit of youth persists in you, just like your grandmother.”[/color] The Student President was all smiles as he patted Kanbaru’s head, ruffling her blue locks knowingly. As he spoke, a jarring pain revealed itself in the bluenette’s eye as if an invisible knife sought to pierce it through violently. The pain was instant and gone as soon as the Student President moved away. [color=slategray]“I would be happy to escort you. Surely we can discuss this in better light?”[/color] The boy clapped his hands once before the world swirled around them. From a dingy alleyway inside the city, they were now in a dark but regal looking student council room that wasn’t too disparate from anything in Miso City. [color=slategray]“Can you turn on the lights Iona? We’d like our guests to be well informed when they participate in the Umbral Games.”[/color] The Student President already made to sit at the head of the room, smile inquiring for any questions the group may have.
