[b]“Well,”[/b] she smirked, taking the opportunity to tease the two younger members of the group, [b]“Kyouko and Runa are also kiddos, no?”[/b] Covering a light chuckle with her hand, she nonetheless nodded. [b]“I’ll keep it in mind. As for the hype… I dunno, I think any hype you’ll feel will be ruined if you hear me belt out my attempt at any pop song…” [/b]

Thankfully, Mason saved Iphie from karaoke hell with timely directions to the nearest DIHOP. Since there was a little bit of time before their engagement at the waffle house, she excused herself to take care of some business at her company offices. 

It wasn’t Iphie’s style to bother with a disguise, but when she arrived at the Denny’s, it was via a nondescript black corporate vehicle, and with a pair of nice black shades. The purple-haired girl only removed them when she slid into the booth with the rest of the Final Five; it wasn’t quite a disguise, but it worked enough to not be immediately accosted between the street and their table at the restaurant. 

It was certainly a trip to see Kyouko plastered in clothing ads out in the street. Really, she was still worried about the younger girl being taken advantage of by her father or others.

[b]“Looks like I made it on time,”[/b] she greeted, taking up a seat across from Tian-Gui, and just in time to order.  [b]“I’ll have what he ordered,”[/b] Iphie decided, thumbing towards Jin-Sun. [b]“The spicy honey butter sauce instead of buffalo, though. Oh, and a nice cold milk tea if you have that here, too.” [/b]

She sighed at the two apparent whales of the group once she was done ordering. [b]“Seriously? Pulling for gacha? Scam aside, you known I can just zap your phones and give your accounts the stuff you want, right?” [/b]
