So... I've noticed that the appearances of those Rank-Up-Magic cards have gone down, since that incident with the "demons" and all. ... I should be relieved, but at the same time, I'm really not. I wish I had a better lead than "the one who apparently made them was seen in another country entirely". That doesn't help me at all.

*Sekka is investigating. Where? Just about anywhere, really. She can be found at the remains of the Momentum reactor, checking out alleyways or places not usually wandered.

... ... or she can be loitering across the street from Labirinto, very specifically there.*

It's the white hair, those vindictive eyes, the quietness of contemplation, the nervous way you hold yourself, it gives me the air of MURDER. Now go, shoo.

[guardsthestorm]

... well, that's fine. They probably wouldn't want to see me like this, anyway.

*she sighs a bit, and starts to walk away. what, does she know the people who own the place?*

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

... Wait, you know the owner?

[guardsthestorm]

*she pauses mid-step* ... Well... I did. But I don't know if he'd really recognize me.

I looked very different, before. Very very different.

Well, that's your fault for using plastic surgery.

[guardsthestorm]

I didn't use plastic surgery, or anything like that.

And if I were a willing choice on my part, I'd have rathered sometimes that nothing at all happened.

::While you're babbling, he's pushing you to the store.::

[guardsthestorm]

*wha-- no no nononono she steps away*

What are you doing?

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

Shoving you in so you'll stop loitering and scaring customers.

[guardsthestorm]

The reason I'd be loitering is because I'm not sure I even want to be near here!

... and I was not doing anything to scare customers. That's why I was across the street.

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

That makes it worse. So either go or enter, you'll scare people.

[guardsthestorm]

*the strange, pushy kid is kinda right.

though she grimaces, she seems to resolve herself... ... to walk away.

what is she so scared of.*
