Kanzaki[/color][/i][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/QHLwM2n.png[/img] [/center] [hr] [color=gold]"You should take care with these, I just-"[/color] Itsuko tried to tell Hibiki that she had just taken the hot pocket out of the microwave, but by the time she finished the deed was done. [color=gold]"Too late."[/color] [color=gold]"Oh! Do you have money on you, or a credit card? We could go shop on the mall. Someone like you would become even more awesome with some cool clothes. I can help you choose'em."[/color] Itsuko said when Hibiki mentioned fashion. Truth be told, Itsuko wore things that she thought that looked cool, not exact the same kind of fashion as other girls would go for, yet the random combinations managed to look very trendy. It helped that Itsuko had lived overseas for some time, so her taste was definitely influenced by Western punk fashion. [color=gold]"Overlord, huh? I really like, have you ever thought how it would be to be stuck inside your Deep Ground Avatar?"[/color] Itsuko got up from the table and rummaged through a few piles of books around the left side of the living room with the skill of one who knows their own organized chaos better than anyone else, before coming back with the whole series and any extra material she could find. [color=gold]"I can lend you them, if you wish. Everything on the left side of the room are things I have already read, the ones on the right are those I haven't yet. Also, the next time you want a book, any book or magazine at all, I can give you the number of my bookdealer. She can literally get you anything, no matter how rare it's."[/color] [color=gold]"Do you like music, Hibiki? We're going to a club tonight. If you can to come I'll introduce you to my friends, I'm sure they'll like you."[/color] Itsuko asked before falling silent for a few moments, breaking the silence again after she read an email that had just arrived at her phone. [color=gold]"I-I'm being rude, am I not? People say that I have no notion about how it's to live on the real world because I can have anything I want at anytime. That I don't know what is to make an effort to get something..."[/color] Itsuko fell silent again, looking to the side with a slight blush on her face. It looked more like she was ashamed of something than apologizing, though. [hr] [center] [h3][i][color=darkorchid]Eris Reinhardt[/color][/i][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/wQwMjwu.png[/img] [/center] [hr] [color=darkorchid]"You're weird, Cassandra O'Shera."[/color] That was Eris' immediate reaction to Cassandra's declaration, though it wasn't said in as much a hostile as an amused tone. [color=darkorchid]"Just like you may never figure me completely, I'll likely never find all the pieces of the puzzle that's you. But, you know me, if there wasn't a challenge involved, I would not like it."[/color] [color=darkorchid]"Even so"[/color], Eris snuggled against her mother in a way that she would really only do with her mother and none else, before continuing, [color=darkorchid]"For you to come and say all of this in front my mother, who you haven't even met up to now? It's just you who would do that."[/color] Following that amused declaration, Eris chuckled, no... outright laughed [color=darkorchid]"Anyway, Mom, this is Cassandra O'Shera, the girl who stole my nights' peace. And, Cassandra, this is my mother, Hildr Reinhardt, apologies for the overused cliché, but she's the best mother one can hope to have."[/color] With that said, Eris hopped off the table and began to walk to the front door, stopping by the shelf right beside it to pick up her cherished book and the turning back to face both Cassandra and her mother, [color=darkorchid]"I'll be going now, mom, you can feel at home, after all you are. When I'm back we can talk more."[/color] [color=darkorchid]"Come on, Cassandra O'Shera, I'll not walk behind you, anymore, so I expect the same of you in relation to me. Let us draw a conclusion out of this ordeal. I can't let those people see my crying face for free, after all!"[/color] Yeah, there were conclusions to be drawn, but... that was only the beginning. [i][color=darkorchid]"A blade, once broken can never become the same again, but who's to say it cannot be reforged into an even mightier weapon that can cut a path to a different future? This battle isn't over yet, but I won't be fighting it alone anymore."[/color][/i] In a few minutes Eris descended to the Shopping Arcade, bellow the building complex where she lived and was waiting for the others, sat in front of her usual café. It was time to change a age on Eris' life, for better or worse the old her was dead, but what would be of the future Eris, only time could tell.
