[color=hotpink]"... ... ... alright, that's enough silence from me."[/color]

[color=hotpink]"I wasn't involved with Itsuko's past."[/color] Akiko blunted, since that was the raw truth. Unless the so-called President was referring to Akiko's voyeuristic tendencies, anyway. Then again, maybe he was a Jester like from the other world. Akiko didn't exactly know what to make of that character, so they had that in common. This school for villains schtick was definitely also something to figure out, as well, since it was most likely the next battleground for whatever group this was called now. Maybe something like Gray Area, or Gay Area with how Kanbaru and Rose were making the group seem. Christ, could they not keep it in their pants for fifteen seconds...? 

Akiko frowned at the papers underneath her gaze. [color=hotpink]"Before I sign up for anything, I'd expect to be told what I'm signing up for. Surely you'd want an informed competitor to put on a show for anyone watching, anyway, and how would I do that other than being told, Mister President."[/color] Akiko fumbled around with the three cards in her arsenal absentmindedly, feeling the otherworldly material of the before settling on the Monkey card she had. For some reason it just... resonated with her. Maybe it was the abilities of the card that were speaking to her, but she had a fondness for it. Might be worth investigating later, when these Umbral Games start, if she wanted to check that out. Eh, with all luck, she'd be fine. After all, with the loyal knight of the Lorelai card to help keep her safe, this might go better than expected.

She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the President while she waited for an answer, the lights casting a brighter [color=red]glare[/color] onto them before something else caught Akiko's gaze -- the cards Caprice had. The art on them was... just a little disturbing, to say the least. [color=hotpink]"Caprice, do your cards have everyone here on them?"[/color]
