The Death Arcana... Akira stared at the card he had chosen though he felt little in the way of surprise.  Death had moulded Akira into who it was, it shaped him and warped him to the point that he could no longer remember who he was before its cold hand had reached into his life.  It felt almost as though it had clung to him the entire time, enjoying the ride whilst it waited for this moment to introduce itself once more.  When the Ring Master made mention of friends Akira softly chuckled to himself [color=ed1c24]"Yeah, if you say so..."[/color]  In all honesty he was rather doubtful of that last part but the rest felt like it struck a cord within him, almost as though he should treat it as a strength as opposed to an unseen enemy.

Then the last card was read, the other boy has chosen the Tower.  The Ring Master then went on to describe it to the lad, just like he#d done for Akira and the girl before him.  After the final reading was made Akira glanced over at the Ring Master.  [color=ed1c24]"So, unwavering strength..."[/color] he glanced momentarily to the girl.  [color=ed1c24]"Fate..."[/color] he motioned to himself before finally glancing at the other boy. [color=ed1c24]"And blind arrogance?... Doesn't sound like much of a team."[/color]  Akira didn't really feel tat the readings would be indicative of those that could mutually bond toward a common purpose, even though that seemed to be the reason for them being here.  [color=ed1c24]"Unless the fourth one was supposed to be the connecting bridge?"[/color]  Akira asked referring to the one who had left.  [color=ed1c24]"Just how long is he going to stand out there contemplating it anyways?"[/color]

Akira's eyes began to wonder around the tent once more.  He was somewhat curious as to what the next step was going to be, assuming they were going to continue on without the fourth mask wearer rejoining them.  As before, aside from the table there didn't really seem to be any distinguishing items or anything that really stood out.  [color=ed1c24]"So.... what now?"[/color]  Akira asked as he glanced to each person present in turn.
