Despite the fact that it was already noon, Moerin was still fast asleep. It had been a warm night, and she honestly wasn't too good with the heat... Why she'd ever moved to a tropical island was beyond her-

Oh wait, it was because of all the cute people in swimsuits.

But still, the heat was so exhausting... And she was supposed to be meeting some people today too, but... So exhausted, and the bed was so comfortable... But she couldn't show up late to see her friends just because of that. Reluctantly, she groggily slipped out of bed, stifled a yawn, and prepared to get dressed...

[i]"Um... Let's see... What was it... Oh right, um... SPEAK YOUR WI-"[/i]

...Moerin must have still been sleepy, because she could've sworn she heard someone saying something. But oh well, must've just been her [i]imagin[/i]ation. Soon she was dressed, and ready to head out into another sunny day on Museum Island. Despite her initial reluctance to get up, she was actually looking forward to today. She was going to see Anno and Rain, and they were going to check out that museum... Sure, it had a really cheesy gimmick (trying to pass movie props off as ancient relics? [i]Please[/i]), but... She [i]adored[/i] cheesy. Even better, she'd heard they'd opened up a Gaim exhibit recently, and that was something she definitely needed to check out.

[i]"Hey! You, the hotty with the fedora! SPEAK YOUR WI-Gah!"[/i]

...Did she...? Nah, it must've been the wind. Definitely the wind. Moerin continued onwards, unaware of the fact that she was leaving a rather sizable trail of sand behind her. Realising she was running a little late, she started to pick up her pace a bit, only to run into...

"Hey, watch where you're going!" It looked like a tourist... A Japanese girl, dyed green hair tied into twintails, and wearing a rather small top and skirt. The girl sneered at Moerin as though she was something unpleasant she had found on the bottom of her shoe. "Someone like you shouldn't even be allowed to gaze upon my magnificence, let alone touch me! Ugh, and now there's sand on my boots!"

"Ah, um, sorry, ahah..." Moerin stuttered, quickly getting back to her feet. The girl looked pretty, but her beauty was betrayed the moment she opened her mouth. "I'll, um, just be going, okay? Ahah, sorry, um, sorry..." Quickly readjusting her hat and glasses, she rushed off again.

"Hmph, how pitiful..." The green-haired girl shot a look of content as Moerin left. Humanity really was pathetic, wasn't it? Not like her... She was the perfect human, after all. Once her evolution was finally complete...

"...Wait... What's... Is something following her?" Yagami Raiko, the perfect human, blinked in confusion as she saw what looked like a floating pair of legs made of sand, hovering above the top half of a girl with cat ears (also made of sand) trailing along the ground and seemingly chasing after Moerin. "...I hate this island already." Discarding what she'd seen, Raiko headed off to her destination, the place she felt that she needed to be right now... The museum.

Moerin, meanwhile, was still blissfully unaware of anything following her, or the fact that she was still trailing a considerable amount of sand. As she finally approached Rain's hotel, she came across a familiar face...

"Oh, hey Anno!" she said with a wave, as her sandy stalker dissapated from sight. She was still trailing sand, though... "I, um... I [i]totally[/i] didn't sleep in by the way!"
