A pink doughnut was held gingerly in her hands, the sound of her soft footsteps and gently munching filling the hallways. That was of course barring the constant snickering coming from Null, who seemed to walk by her side as if finding great joy and amusement from this whole situation. The Head Director gave him a glare, to which he merely shrugged, phasing through the walls to go off and fulfill some dark purpose. Honestly, the things she had to put up with for her familiars…Aria perked up when she saw an annoyed and disgruntled Reiko walk right by her. Well that could only mean that the Mage had given the First Years a piece of her mind. Stepping out into the open space facing all of the students, Aria blinked to see many more than a little discouraged. She didn’t know what Reiko had said to them specifically but she had enough context clues to figure her former apprentice was being cynical again. So quickly finishing her doughnut, Aria clasped her hands together and smiled down at the group of students. [color=bc8dbf]“I’m not really sure what Ms. Reiko had to say to you all…but please remember that she’s only doing what she thinks is best for you. A Chaser is more than a job description, more than a paycheck. It’s a way to make your voice known into the world. Please, let’s all do our best to uphold that vision,”[/color] Aria announced cheerily. [color=bc8dbf]“Your classes will begin soon so please, feel free to enjoy yourselves until the start of the school year tonight.”[/color] Nearby, someone in particular couldn’t share Aria’s enthusiasm. Lucille sighed to herself, muttering that she had basically ruined her team’s first day back on campus grounds. And they had missed their own Second Year initiation. Aria had insured her personally that it was no big deal…but still…more than a little down, Lucille touched her cheek, remembering Emillia’s touch… Further into the crowd, another special individual was walking around with nothing better to do. As the leader of Team DIE, Dana was ecstatic about another year spent in Akatsuki. Sure Eos had to get punished for almost ruining the entrance exams this year and she was being watched for hijacking the Secret Boss fight too, but all in all it was a good day. And it wasn’t like anyone in Akatsuki could very well catch her either. So Dana wondered around, bored out of her mind when she suddenly bumped into someone that towered over her. It couldn’t be her cute little Shinobu because Shinobu was a midget…no, this girl was hulking creature compared to her. Looking up at the new person, Dana titled her head…before a wide shark’s grin graced her lips. [color=f7941d]“Ruuuuuuun! It’s Gojira!”[/color] she said loudly, pointing and shouting for the fun of it.
