[color=hotpink]"Oh, it's you."[/color] Akiko's immediate words were tinged with a sense of... relief, at first, before Katie began, but there were... things that she picked up on. A number of things. Sure, the tone was filled with a raw sense of disgust and hatred, but Akiko was hardly bothered. In fact, Akiko welcomed the hostility with a sickening smile on her face. And although the constant pleas of Akiko leaving was the obvious path this Tower wanted her to go through, she simply walked over to the desk Katie sat on and smiled.

[color=hotpink]"So I'm still here. In the Tower?"[/color] her voice was monotonous, not tainted with any sort of satisfaction or fear, rather just blanket annoyance. [color=hotpink]"Fantastic, so this [i]is[/i] just an illusion. One meant to pry at me and get me to give in."[/color] The teen pulled her backpack up beside her, pulling a small item out of it. A small plushie, that of a purple cat. She gently stroked it's cheek before continuing her musings. [color=hotpink]"Just one issue with that, and this whole plan of trying to get me to crumble. I [i]know[/i] what the end of this trick is, and I've heard everything you've said before."[/color]

Akiko didn't move, simply stared at the door and at Katie. [color=hotpink]"I was basically raised in an asylum for my apathy - my inherent desire to not care about others. People called me sociopathic, psychopathic, and the whole time I just never understood what they meant by that. I've had caretakers say the exact same thing as you, and I've found a way to go against everything."[/color] Akiko offered a nonchalant smile. [color=hotpink]"Who knows? Had I a circumstance similar to Kanbaru or Ami, maybe I'd have been a dark magical girl. Just. Like. Them."[/color] Akiko's words carried weight, each one feeling like it had a respectable heft behind it. [color=hotpink]"And sure, maybe nobody wants me here, but I'll tell you, that just makes it all the better for me."[/color] She laughed a little under her breath.

[color=magenta]"Because I'm here now, and I plan on making it most everyone else's problem."[/color] That voice was different, almost as if the world was crumbling around her. As if she was [color=red]trying to take the reigns.[/color] After all, with her certain set of powers, she'd been able to read into the future and pasts of others, and slowly but surely she'd been starting to see through her own realities as well. This world she was in felt hardly more than words on a page, and she was getting ever so close into reading between the lines. Honestly, she was starting to notice a couple of patterns.

[color=hotpink]"I might not throw my own punches. I might not play the same game as you all. I might be different, and wrong, and nobody might want me here. But I'm not afraid of [color=magenta]you.[/color]"[/color] 

[color=magenta]"Or Ami."[/color]

[color=magenta]"Or Riku. Or Thomas. Or Rose. Or Kanbaru. Or anyone."[/color] She smiled, crossing her legs over eachother and simply watching Katie's every movement, her cat plushie sitting on her lap with its eyes trained as well.

[color=hotpink]"It's getting late. Maybe you should leave the new queen to her business?"[/color] She smirked. [color=hotpink]"After all, I'm building a new regime here. Sure, Rome wasn't built in a day, but that doesn't mean I can't try."[/color]
