Ryuuko wandered around a bit after her meeting with Bang, browsing through some of the available delicacies being served in the hall. Whenever a fare took her fancy, she proceeded to sample just a small plate or bowl of it, finishing it quickly and returning the empty dish to a waiter before moving on to sample something else. Varied as these delicacies were, all the ones that Ryuuko took shared a few points of similarities: They all consisted of either small pieces of ingredients that can be swallowed without the need for chewing, or ingredients suitable enough to tear apart with her unique shark-like teeth. Definitely it would be a rather unusual scene if anyone were to observe the way in which Ryuuko consumed her food, as there were generally very little actual jaw movements being done; she mostly just keep the food on her tongue to taste it for a while before then swallowing them whole, with little to no chewing or biting involved.

It was in the middle of enjoying a small bowl of simple yet delightful crab bisque that she noticed something weird happening with one of the chandelier. It was some distance away from she were, not too close nor too far. The flashing lights, sticking out as they were, unsurprisingly took her attention towards it. It was still bright enough even at this distance to force Ryuuko to narrow her eyes to shield them from the glare. Yet before Ryuuko can think much more of it, the bright flashing disappeared as suddenly as they had appeared, but evidently not without leaving something in its brief and potent wake. Just a single one of the bulb shattered after the flashing had stopped, sending shards downward.

Quickly analyzing the small happening, Ryuuko thought to herself. [color=FF0000][i]Well, as weird as the circumstances are, that doesn't look like it's really of any particular concern but... Might as well take a look.[/i][/color] And thus she decided to head over. She didn't really have anything other to do and her hunger had been somewhat sated for now, and who knows, unlikely as it might be the probability was still there that she might be able to find something interesting. She quickly finished the bowl of bisque, passing it over to a waiter before moving towards the direction of the aforementioned chandelier.

She moved at a good pace, perhaps a bit too quickly in fact considering the location and the number of people within it. It was typical of Ryuuko to be so focused on a single thing in mind at the expense of anything else. [color=FF0000]"Excuse me, coming through. Sorry."[/color] she muttered quickly as she moved pass people standing in the way or moving at a slower pace towards the same direction as she were. She even lightly, [b]very[/b] lightly considering how strong she was compared to non-Egoists, pushed people from her path here and there as she moved.

[color=FF0000]"Pardon m- hmm?"[/color] She was about to push pass another individual, her left hand already lightly touching the person's right shoulder, when she noticed who the person was. A girl around her own age, some height shorter than she was, wearing the traditional clothing of Korea. In Ryuuko's mind, this was yet another lucky encounter. She recognized the girl well enough, this girl was yet another one of those fellow students that were on her list of significant individuals to watch out for after all. She quickly pulled her left hand back, smiling lightly as she looked at the girl while muttering an apology. [color=FF0000]"Oh dear! My apologies, miss. I was in a bit of a hurry to check things out after that impromptu light show."[/color] She giggled casually before resuming, her light smile turning into a wide toothy grin. [color=FF0000]"I hope you'll forgive my sudden interruption! It is just that it is such an honor to meet you, Ms. Yun. I'm Ryuuko. Higashiakemi Ryuuko. And I happen to be quite impressed with what you had achieved, as a fellow Egoist."[/color]
