---

Misha (757) has posed:
    Days ago:

    "Hello there, little girl, would you like to buy some Kitty Candy? Only twelve leaf a piece."

    "I don't care about the price, I could eat a bucket full~."

    What began as a seemingly innocent conversation between a candy selling woman, and a young girl on the streets of Firefly Alley immediately takes a turn in a cloak and dagger direction.

    "Alright, Misha, what's up. The last time you saw me you were looking for some pretty high grade grathnode crystals with your boytoy."

    "H-hey! Don't call him that!" The Reyvateil huffs, flashing the silver-haired candy seller a petulant look. "We got separated again-- look that's not why I'm here. I'm letting people Dive and uh..."

    "Annnnd you're nervous aren't you. Ooookay I have just the thing to help~..."

    Now:

    While originally planned to be held in the Dive Shop on Njorun Station, has been moved to a crummy looking Dive shop in Firefly Alley on the Tower of Eolia, in the world of Ar Ciel. Misha's Homeworld. Firefly Alley is a floating city, connected to the tower by a jury rigging of wires, cables, frame work, spit, and rubber bands, held aloft on floating generators managed by the Tenba Corporation.
    This seems to be a particularly rare event, considering the Dive Attendants look flabbergasted at having to link a total of seven pods for one Dive, but assured by another attendant-- a woman with long braided silver hair, Misha can handle it.
    Misha is already here, waiting for people to arrive, the dark-haired girl looking somewhat nervous at the prospect as she chatters with one of the technicians.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Fassad walks in, smiling as usual. Normally, he would bring his horse along. But, a floating island in the sky seems like a poor place to bring a horse. What's more, he understands that it is in fact unlikely he could even bring his horse along on the Dive. Hell, he barely even understands what a Dive is.

     He bows to the group within the shop, though of course he gives the grandest bow to Misha. He smiles to her, his teeth sparkling as he does so. It isn't even intended to be flirty or anything. The purpose, instead, is to calm the obviously nervous girl, and to show a connection with her. After he bows to her, he speaks, the disarming smile still on his face.

     "Ah, lady Misha, it is a pleasure to meet you again. I am glad that I might take part in this Dive. I will admit, I am uncertain of what this exactly /is/, but I am never one to back down from a new experience!"

     He puts his hands on his hips, and holds up his head and pushes out his chest a bit. Yes, trying to make himself look /truly/ heroic. His cape flows behind him with a light push of magic as well.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako of course, is glancing here, there, and everywhere like a typical tourist. It's not everyday you're in a floating city, after all. Besides, this is the first time she's been to Ar Ciel! While Ayako herself isn't exactly technologically minded, she can still appreciate the jury rigging to create a city.

    When she enters the Dive Shop she glances about quickly again. She hasn't met Misha before, so she doesn't really know exactly who to look for. "Umm... umm... is there a Misha here?" Ayako closes her eyes awkwardly and just as awkwardly scratches her cheek with a pointer finger. She was sure she followed the directions properly!

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     Landon al Cid, Prince of Ramuh, certainly lives up to the title. The white-haired young man arrives in the unfamiliar shop in the unfamiliar world with all the dignity one would expect of a Prince. He's clad in his heavy-looking Judge's armor, with a deep and expansive purple cape draped over his shoulders. Despite the awe and fascination the young Prince has for extraversal worlds, he's doing his level best not to look like a gawky, gawpy tourist. Being a gawky, gawpy tourist simply isn't proper behavior for a nobleman of any real stature, and /certainly/ not for a Prince. No, the scion of the al Cid family hides his burning curiousity quite well, his eyes straight ahead, his smile bright.

     "I take it, then, that I am in the correct location," Landon observes brightly at Fassad's confirmation (probably not meant for him). He offers his gauntlet-clad hand politely to Misha; should she take it, he raises it to his lips and kisses it politely. Otherwise, he simply waits for as long as is properly appropriate (about thirty seconds) to fold it over his chest and bow.

     Either the hand-kiss or the bow is accompanied by a, "It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Prince Landon al Cid of Ramuh. I hope that I can be of some service."

     Once that's done, Landon takes a moment to satisfy his curiousity. Another new world, a world he's never seen, and he expects he won't get much of a look at it, either! He nods, politely, to Ayako as he takes a pace around the room, his heavy boots surprisingly quiet for the plate mail's size.

Riva Banari has posed:
firefly Alley is a fascinating place. Hanging in the air through spir and baling wire, it nevertheless seems to have a certain feel to it that transfixes Riva as she looks around in wonder, trying to take in the feel of the area. She spends a lot of time leaning out over railings dangerously far, staring downwards, or towards the tower, the people that pass by, or other things.

She also arrives with a couple handfuls of candy herself, popping one into her mouth and munching with a pleasantly happy noise.

The Dive Shop itself seems to get Riva looking around at the pods and wires and other tech curiously, though she does wave to Misha as she approaches. "Hey Misha! Good to see you!" She holds out a hand. "I found a place selling candy. It's awesome, want some?" She also offers a handful to everyone else too!

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    It had been a while since the last time Caro had done something like this! But she hasn't forgotten how, and she was certainly eager to help out if she could. As such, the pint-sized summoner is going to make her way here, with Friedrich floating along behind her, and will offer over a small smile to the girl they're going to be diving with.

    "Oh, ah, sure!" is her respond to being offered candy; she doesn't have that much of a sweet tooth, but will happily have a bite or two. "I hope you don't mind me coming, and hope I can help" she'll state, to Misha. "I'm Caro."

Misha (757) has posed:
    It looks like people are filtering in, which means no delaying, and no putting this off now. It's happening.
    There's Fassad, first to arrive, Misha remembers him from breakfast, and the Reyvateil manages something of lopsided and still nervous grin. Aside from acting super noble, his mannerisms remind her of someone just a bit. "Fassad, hello."
    "That's me." She calls out to Ayako, when the water spirit arrives, she's in the right place, especially judging from the light shuffle of Misha's feet.
    The silver-haired dive attendand almost seems to wink at Riva for some reason, but it's time to move on, and once Landon has sufficiently finished making Misha blush lightly with the kiss to her hand, and Caro arrives, the Reyvateil smooths her dress out. So time for a primer.
    "Ah... Diving is usually... The process of entering a Reyvateil's subconscious mind to help her unlock her emotions and create new songs and song magic." She gives a quick explanation while climbing into her pod. The silver-haired woman then holds up a disk. "Misha is a little nervous though, so we're going to ease everyone into things with a pre-written program. It should have the same results though, so if you could all just pick a pod, we'll get right underway~." This earns something of a dirty look.

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    Caro mostly remembered the new outfits for Mir. She wasn't entirely certain how that had worked, still, so she's not going to bring it up. And being nervous seems a very reasonable response, given the situation of what they're doing! She'll offer over an encouraging smile, and then whisper soft instructions to Fried to play nice with everyone while she's in the dive - which mostly means Spica.

    After that, Caro will wait a moment to find a pod noone else is going to, and head over to climb in. At least she doesn't have to ever worry about not fitting into one of these.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Fassad smiles at the group, looking around. In particular, his eyes linger on Landon, though he tries not to make it obvious. Is this... Is this what a /real/ Prince is actually like? The armor, the style, the shear sense of presence. It's not often someone outdoes Fassad. And Landon doesn't even seem to be /trying/.

     He looks at the group, smiling though. He might as well try to take charge a /bit/, but he'll probably defer to Landon if a leader is needed. Already, he's thinking of how to fake being humble and letting the /actual/ prince take charge. But, as he looks at the group, he speaks, "Well. Let us help Lady Misha as best as we can, then."

     He moves to his own pod, and gets set up. He really doesn't /get/ it. He just figures, that it'll make more sense as things go along.

Riva Banari has posed:
Riva giggles brightly, and gives the silver-haired attendant a wave when she sees her. Hey! Didn't she just buy some candy from her a little bit ago? Business must be good~

Riva munches on more candy while she listens to the explanation, however. Riva blinks. "Unlock her emotions? Why are they... locked in the first place?" Riva asks quizzically. "But helping her come up with new music? Hell yeah, that'll be awesome!" Riva seems /pumped/ despite the situation, and pockets the remaining candy before climbing into one of the pods, apparently picking it on a whim. Doesn't look like she'll press the apparently slightly delicate question.

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     Landon is indeed not trying. He doesn't think about things like 'kissing a woman's hand' as particularly out of the ordinary - he was raised to be courteous, polite, and noble in all things, and he does it by force of habit and rote training over seventeen years of his life. He offers a polite smile and a similar greeting to everyone else he hasn't met, graciously accepts the candy with "why thank you, yes, Lady Riva, I should much appreciate a taste of it", and otherwise courteously listening to Misha's description.

     At the end of it, Landon goes quiet for a moment, looking at Misha curiously.

     Enter a subconscious to create new magic and music. His gauntleted fingers go to his chin thoughtfully as he considers this. That's a sort of magic (or is it 'technology', that strange alternate that ran on 'physics') that Galianda only has in books and Ramuhanimation and movies and video games. The idea of actually delving into a hume mind, or any kind of mind...it was unbelievable!

     But wouldn't that be terribly dangerous?

     No, Landon decides, if it was terribly dangerous, a public shop wouldn't exist to make it possible. There must surely be *some* level of risk, of course, because entering a person's head could only be risky, but it probably isn't as risky as Landon's imagining, all the patterns that make up a person laid out casually to be fiddled with and manipulated. No, that seems like the sort of magic you wouldn't just leave lying around.

     "I see," Landon confirms after a bit, "Then we're simply helping you find what's already there, is that it? Or, rather, helping you to find the key to dig further into your heart?"

     "I am honored that you place such trust in us," The Prince says finally as he moves to clamber into the pod, "I'm certain we'll do our best, indeed."

     The Judge's Armor looks so uncomfortable, but Landon doesn't even seem to mind.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako sighs with relief. "Whew... I get lost easily, so... I'm glad I made it to the right place." She smiles cheerfully at Misha. "Nice to finally meet you in person!"

    She then listens quietly to Spica-err... the silver-haired dive attendant. Yup. Nothing out of the ordinary going on in this Dive Shop, no! Uh huh. "Okay! I hope we make some good music together, Misha!" Ayako nods her head slowly and walks over to a pod. "Uhh... I wonder if I'm compatible with these?" The FullDive machines used for GGO didn't work for her, after all. 'No user detected' indeed. Not until Staren 'spun' one that would work for her, anyway. "Well, only one way to find out!"

Misha (757) has posed:
    Spica is already loading the program while everyone gets ready.
    "It's something like that." Misha confirms for Landon and Riva as she's already settling back in her pod, green eyes watching the others. But it looks like everyone is ready, willing, and eager to get into this, and with a motion, she signals the Dive attendants to close her pod.
    Once everyone is inside their pods and the seals close and latch, there is total darkness... A complete lack of light that lasts for a long moment before a flicker of static, and then everything begins.
    With a wash of scrolling code written in Hymmnos the Dive program boots up, and in a sudden flare of white light...
    Everyone will all find themselves standing outside a massive tree. Njorun Community College has been built right into the trunks and branches of the immense plant, and with a ring of the bell it looks like classes are on break for the next hour or so.

Riva Banari has posed:
Oooh, Hymmnos-ZORT

Riva Scarlette is chill today. She'll get to her homework later. For now, she has some serious lounging around to do on one of the curling roots that happen to pop up throughout the landscape of the community college. She gets right on that, her arms crossed behind her head as she stares up at the massive waving branches of the tree, as well as the cloud-scudded sky. She waves a hand to the others, smiling in an afternoon-sun induced half-somnolescence. Mmmm, this will be the perfect spot to enjoy for their hour. Maybe hour and five.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Fassad Argent finds himself leaning against a tree on Campus. He's wearing a rather simple, albeit trendy outfit at the moment. Blue designer jeans, and a skin-tight T-shirt that is silver in color. His silver backpack is on the grass next to him. A book is in his hands. Specifically, Machiavelli's The Prince. He pushes up his silver framed glasses closer to his face. He looks up as Riva arrives, and smiles and nods at her, waving back. He quickly gets to reading his book again. After all, he's waiting for the whole group to gather. His class let out a bit early.

     He ponders a bit. Hrm. Hour break. Perhaps he can treat the group of them to lunch? He flips a page, considering a bit.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako settles back into her Dive pod and curiously, and with some anticipation, waits for the Dive to start. She curiously looks at the scrolling code written in Hymmnos as the Dive program starts and-

    Aya Ao stretches as she leaves her class and out to the roots of Njorun Community College. In her hands that are now overhead are a pencil and a notebook. "Ungnya... classes are nice, but... getting outside is good too." Once the stretch is over, she walks absentmindedly around... amber gaze focused completely on the notebook and scribbling into it constantly. Well, okay. Once in a while, she does look around. Some.

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     Landon prepares himself for-

     The huge, familiar old tree is a wonderful thing to the heir of the al Fuscio family. These are the simple pleasures of the world, the simple joys. These are the wonderful moments that so easily get lost in the hurried, fast-paced world of the nobility. Daggers 'round every corner; porcelain faces hiding secrets; glittering gold pouring from wallets like blood. No matter where you go, there you are - trapped in an inescapable place.

     So it is that Lando is more than delighted to be here. He runs his fingers along the trunk of the tree, phantasmal memories flicking through his mind with each passing notch. It was a favorite spot of his, a *central* spot, a place where everything seemed to simply *exist* independent of all the rest of the world. Under this tree he had found a sort of contentment that he could never have expected possible. This tree's branches were a vast umbrella, stretched around this little hill to separate it from all that is and all that has ever troubled him.

     A wistful smile flits past on the purple-haired young man's face. Purple eyes turn to the rest of the group.

     "Well," Lando offers cheerily, "It seems we have a bit of time. We should go to lunch and enjoy it, don't you think? I heard about a lovely place opening up just uptown."

     He adjusts the fuschia scarf around his neck self-consciously, wondering briefly why he chose the color.

     "My treat, of course!" He adds.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Fassad Argent immediately chimes in in response to that, "--Oh, Lando, don't worry about it. Today, it should definitely be /my/ treat. Trust me, it would be /more/ than an honor. What's more. I'll hire us a taxi-- no, perhaps today I should call up a limo for all of us! After all, my family's wealth is /quite/ massive. It's been built up for /so many/ generations, after all!"

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     Lando stares at Fassad for a moment. He considers it, for a long moment. In politics - in the Old Guard - sometimes it was better to let other people put their foot out.

     Sometimes the person who puts their foot out first stumbles over a rock you didn't notice.

     "That's, ah, that's very generous, Argent," Lando offers finally, "Are you certain? It's really no trouble..."

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    Cara Rose is stretching out, as well, but for a different reason - she's trying to climb a limb of the tree, carefully attempting to get a look at a nest a few branches over while the others gather nearby. Climbing the tree is going... Not the best, really! But she hasn't fallen down yet, so that's okay.

    She'll then immediately slip, dangling by her legs from the branches above over the rest of the group. "A.. ah! Hey guys!" She'll say, just now seeming to really notice them.

Riva Banari has posed:
"Boys, boys, relax." Riva Scarlette interposes in the brewing discussion. She's already casually chewing on a long blade of grass, basically achieving whole new levels of laid back chill. "We can go get lunch, it's no big deal." She stretches and sits up, hopping off of of the big tree root and looking between them all. "Hey, Aya!" She waves to the bookworm and looks up to Cara. "Sometimes I wonder if you're part monkey, Cara." She smiles. "Come on down, we're going out to get lunch with Fassad and Lando. You too, Aya! Books won't feed you!"

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Aya pops a vein suddenly. "Hey! You two, quit arguing and fighting over who gets to foot the bill!" Whoa, wait. Where did this come from all of a sudden? Looks like this 'bookworm' isn't so bookwormish. She suddenly grins, although it's mostly hidden by the notebook. Her amber eyes peek out over the top edge of the notebook as she stares at Lando and Fassad. "Or... you two could settle it the -usual way-~."

    The pencil and notebook are stuffed into the star-shaped yellow purse she usually carries around like some sort of stake and gravestone driven into the ground. What? Even school supplies are fashion statements. She flips her ponytail with one hand and-

    Her cellphone flips out swiftly and she starts texting swiftly and loudly. Err... was she hiding in the ponytail? Although anyone who pays close attention can see that Aya's gaze is more on the group than on the cellphone.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Fassad smiles at Lando, closing his book. He makes a bit of a dismissive wave towards purple haired man, dismissively, "Oh. It is really no trouble, al Fuscio. Truly. I have not spoiled our group of friends for quite some time." That said, he certainly does this sort of thing all the time. He loves throwing around his money. Really, he spends his money as if he only fell into it recently, /despite/ the fact that he has let everyone know he's from old wealth.

     But, he smiles, turning to Riva, and Aya. "Oh, do not worry. We're not arguing. After all, both of us are dignified gentleman." But, his glance looks over towards Lando. Obviously he views himself as /quite/ a bit more dignified. But, speaking of undignified, he looks up at Cara, sighing a little. Really, climbing a tree?

     Fassad Argent pulls out his own smart phone. Immediately, he opens up an app. A limo-taxi app. He looks at the group, again smiling, "Ah, it should only be a few minutes before the limo arrives. This should be truly a break to remember. Such are the beautiful days of our youth." He pockets his phone, and then holds his hands out towards Aya and Riva. Flirtatiously, "Ah, ladies, I hope that the resteraunt will be to your liking."

Misha (757) has posed:
    It is a perfect day to go out for lunch, and the college grounds aren't too far from some great places in the city. So if the group is going to do that there's... Nothing really stopping them. It's not an our of the ordinary sight to see retired Dean Ty Rael, Head Librarian Nathanial Passage, and Head of discipline, Par Thnax discussing administrative duties on the way out, but there might be another distraction.
    In passing the music arts part of the campus there seems to be something of a commotion.
    "I said NO Brandon, will you just screw off!"
    She's recognizable. Misha Allune; generally a quiet student- known for her music arts major and voice. It must be something severely taxing her patience to make her speak up. But she seems to be being hounded by a VERY MASSIVE jock kid with his hair spiked up in two blonde points.
    No one like Brandon Radd. He's an arrogant, bully of a brute cruising by on a sports scholarship that seems to let him think he can get away with anything he and his frat brothers at Tau Epsilon Nu Beta Alpha can.
    But it's quick to pass, as she storms off, earning a clenched fist and vicious swear of vengeance.
    So about that lunch...
    It's not long before the group hops in the hired limo that it swoops everyone to a nearby place, and the timing is perfect; the lunch rush hasn't hit yet, everyone beat all the other students that come to this super popular trendy little place.

Mir (340) has posed:
    Well... not ALL the students were beaten here. It looks like one made it here for lunch before the group of friends did. It may be hard to see her at first, but she's definitely there. When the group arrives, MIRA SABLE is sitting alone at a table, sipping a drink while she studies from one of her books. The new student has not been very popular here, having trouble getting in with any crowds.

    This is because she's not quiet in the form of shy, she's brooding and outright projects a cold shoulder to anyone who talks to her, ending the conversation quite rudely when she has to. She's not unpopular because she's new, the dark-haired student just doesn't seem to /want/ to make friends.

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    Cara will drop from the tree at the invitation, managing to mostly land on her feet - which is to say, hands and knees and she doesn't break anything. She'll kick up a lot of dust, of course, the veternary student giving a smile. "A lunch would sound nice." She'll admit, seeming totally oblivious to Fassad's disapproval.

    On the other hand, Misha's predicament will get her attention, and the small girl looks like she wants to go say something. It breaks up before that happens, but it sticks in her mind, and she's a little bit less cheerful until they actually arrive at the lunch spot. Upon doing so, Cara is going to go proceed to bash her head into the wall one more time in a figurative sense, wondering over towards Mira and allowing the others to order first. "Aah, hi, Mira." Cara says, her attempts to take care of every lost and lonely bird, cat, and person not about to be thwarted by mir dislike or hatred. She'll give herself a couple of sentences before giving up for today!

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     Lando doesn't further the comment - he is, after all, not arguing. He's perfectly willing to let Fassad throw his money around if he wants to; Lando was generous, but it was just as useful to let someone else be more generous sometimes. Otherwise you got into bidding wars and wasted time, and who wanted to waste time? It was such a fleeting thing. A precious gift, a thing that vanished even as you used it. He barely even liked sleeping, given how much it stole from him.

     So he doesn't say much as Fassad flirts and flashes and prances. Truthfully, he agrees - such *are* the beautiful days of youth, a currency to be spent more freely than coin.

     But, as Lando enters the limo with surprising dignity for a young man entering a car, he can't help but think about the scene he just witnessed. Like many people carrying the sort of power they did, Lando was the sort of man who didn't truck with injustice - and particularly towards women. It wasn't out of some misguided ideal of the fairer or weaker sex; you didn't stay on a team with multiple women and feel that way. It's just...well, that wasn't right. The powerful should never pick on the powerless.

     As the limo pulls away, Lando's fingers tighten into fists. He glances at his phone, but...no, that would be irresponsible. That would be the same as what Brandon did to her.

     The powerful should never pick on the powerless.

     So the limo ride passes, Lando's thoughts distant and distracted as they ride to the restauraunt. It was a fast and smooth journey, and well worth (someone else's) money, given how quickly they'd gotten there - although how Mira Sable got there first is a magic all her own! Lando smiles politely at her. Even though he doesn't know her, kindness and manners never cost a thig.

     It's why the nobility love it so much.

     "Hello, Miss Sable," Lando offers as he looks over the menu, "It's a lovely day for this sort of thing, isn't it? Bright sky, bright sun, and so on."

Riva Banari has posed:
Riva seems to let the comments and clarifications from the others pass, just letting them roll off like water off a duck's back. She rolls right along, casually walking to where the limo is supposed to pick them up with her hands in her pockets...

But at the yell, Riva blinks and becomes considerably more animated. She pops over past the wall of the Musical Arts building and peers around the corner in an almost comedically overblown fashion.

She frowns, considering the momentary argument. Brandon's a known troublemaker and ur-jock, but it seems to have resolved itself without too much trouble. She'll have to make a note of that for /later/. She can't go diving in headfirst. Well, okay, maybe she CAN but the moment's passed.

She heads back to join the others (some of whom probably were peeking in on the event like she was), and heads out to lunch with the others.

AT THE LUNCH AREA, Riva doesn't seem too concerned with where or how they sit. It seems like she's almost actively laid back to counter Fassad's concern for his rich boy appearance and Landon's natural flair. She slides into a chair and looks around, blinking as she sees Mira. "Hi Mira!" Riva calls out with a wave. She knows Mira probably won't even acknowledge her, but hey, you never know. One day maybe the ice queen will crack a little.

This absolutely doesn't prevent her from leaning back on the back legs of her chair.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    "Yeah, yeah..." Aya just smiles slightly at Lando and Fassad as she continues to text. Tick tick tick tick tick. Yes, one-handed. Jeez, she's really tearing into that thing. But what else do you expect from a ex-gyaru turned fashion student? Old habits die hard.

    At the loud 'NO', Aya's eyebrow twitches and a distinctive 'boop' comes from her cellphone. Said phone is loudly closed with a clack and her amber gaze moves dully towards the commotion. She taps the side of her forehead for a moment with a pointer finger and sighs softly. "Ungh. It's that ox again."

    She tries to give a comforting smile to Misha as she joins the group and lets Fassad help her into the limo. Aya's amber gaze glances about absently... but warmly. She might have a bit of a standoffish air, but she's very warm to her friends!

    When they arrive at the lunch area, she gives a wave to Mira. "Hey Mira!"

Mir (340) has posed:
    Mira glances up at the incoming group, and... sighs. "Mn." That's all the reply that Lando gets, but it's more than some. It also means that Riva and Aya actually get to see the pale girl's eyes, for once... before she drops said eyes down to her book again.

    All told, that's a pretty good attempt at socializing with her. It's a clear, cool reply of 'leave me alone and I will tolerate your presence.'

    Except Cara. Right when everyone is settling in, Mira quietly murmurs, "Good afternoon, Cara."

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Fassad is less concerned with the strong controlling the weak, in comparison to Lando. As he watches the exchange, he simply frowns. But, he will deal with him in a different way. After all, justice still must be done, in some manner. He ponders. How /would/ an old money family deal with such a problem?

     The first thing that comes to his head is 'hired assassins'.

     He ponders for a moment what that says about himself, before he gets into the limo with the others.

     At the resteraunt, he simply has a seat, and nods at the management. He sent a message ahead to make sure the resteraunt is prepared for them. He doesn't say hi to Mira, though. He's not the kind to put his hand out to someone who already has been known to be antisocial. He's just happy to see his friends having fun, though. His eyes mostly track them as they take their places in the resteraunt.

     Also he didn't actually hire an assassin.

Misha (757) has posed:
    In an instant, the atmosphere seems to change. Nothing happens inside the restaurant, but a scream can be heard distantly, and people outside are beginning to run as if in fright. Indeed that's the case, as everyone settles down to enjoy some lunch time social, there is suddenly panic in the streets.
    Men in an almost terrible mauve-purple colored set of clothes and armor are suddenly swarming outside the restaurant- wearing glass dome helmets and waving ray guns. Every one of them wears terribly crude cardboard armor as a uniform as they scramble about, firing rays that seem to drain the color from the innocent bystanders!
    "Tenba! Tenbatenba! Tenba! Tenba!" the goons blurble singlemindedly as they set to their dastardly work. But what's worse is...
    They're all wearing capes!
    This looks like a job for the Prisma Color Squad!

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    Not that it takes too much to encourage Cara to continue. That's plenty, and Cara will smile brightly at Mira in response, but she won't hassle too much right away. She will try to find a seat somewhere as near the antisocial girl while still sitting with the group she came with, but that's the extent of it for now.

    She's mildly impressed with Fassad's ability to have the restaurant in order. Of course, he may not have exactly directly invited her, but...

    She'll look up in surprise at the panic in the streets, and then... "Excuse me just a few minutes, I need to visit the restroom." She'll murmur at Mira, a TOTALLY PRACTICAL excuse as she slips away towards anywhere she can find some privacy, preferably the restroom.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     As the Tenbas appear outside, Fassad also stands up. He speaks up, rather casually.

     "I, too, must use the restroom."

     And then he walks towards the women's restroom, following Cara. At the least, most likely, everyone /not/ directly part of the Team will likely be too distracted to see him following her in. Though he does use his head to motion towards Lando, Aya, and Riva to follow after, gesturing with some head movements towards the Women's Room.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Aya smiles softly at Mira's 'leave me alone and I will tolerate your presence' reply and is just about to get settled in when it happens.

    A scream outside? And then people running away?! That's horri-

    Those outfits. That... that mauve-purple. Aya almost gags. The fashion-conscious girl almost snarls in response to that color. And what the heck is with those cardboard armor outfits?! Arggh! CAPES?! That's just the cherry on top of the disgusting fashion sundae. It takes more than a moment for her to notice that they're firing rays that drain color.

    Aya manages to gag out, "Ex-excuse me... I think I need a trip to the restroom." Although she has an excuse other than simply transforming. Because jeez those outfits were quite the blow to her already!

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     Lando just sort of ducks out with the panicking crowd, slipping around the back of the restauraunt. He, too, enters the women's restroom, because it's required.

     Certain things are just...necessary.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Fassad actually does whisper one thing, though, as he enters the woman's restroom. He just pauses, looking around for a moment. Whispering /just/ to himself.

     "...Why is this restroom so much /nicer/ than the men's room?"

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     "I believe you know the answer to that," Lando observes as he slips in, giving Fassad a Look because it's the sort of thing you simply DON'T talk about in polite company.

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    "I wouldn't know. I've never been in the men's room." Cara replies, giving a slightly dirty look to Fassad as though it weren't HER fault they were in there.

Mir (340) has posed:
    Mira glances up and sighs, closing her book. "Excuse me. I need to go to the restreoom," she says, after all the others have passed by.

    She goes into the Men's restroom.

Misha (757) has posed:
    As the un-henshined Prisma Rangers begin filling the women's bathroom... And Mira towards the men's... The group's theme music begins to play.
    It is true, though the men's bathroom isn't as nice.

Riva Banari has posed:
ONE DAY, MIRA. ONE DA-OH SHI TENBAS.

Riva yelps at the sudden chaos, her shifting causing the legs to slip out from under the chair and send her tumbling out of it. with a grimace, she quickly scurries out of sight and into the restroom.

Once inside, she grumps faintly at the necessity of having the pair of guys in the women's bathroom. Still, majority rules, boys. Deal. She also does not answer that question. Such a thing would be a breach of the sacred trust of women everywhere! "One day we're going to find a better way to do this. Keep on task, people!"

With a flourish, she pulls her smartphone up out of its holder and keys in a complicated series of keystrokes that will allow her to unlock the SECRET POWER CONTAINED WITHIN.

And by that we mean she hits the mysterious app icon on the front pane. The phone chirps out a melodic tone, and she calls out, "Let the colors of our spirit shine forth!" She slams the phone into a holder on her belt dramatically and locks it in, turning it sideways. "HENSHIN!"

There is an explosion of light and awesome from the women's bathroom as streams of light explode from the door, splitting into multicolored beams that land dramatically over the incoming Tenbas. There, in a crimson skintight costume with sparkling shades of red and white and a triangular-shaped faceplate in the helmet obscuring their identity (and yet somehow letting them see through it just fine thanks to polarization), they stand tall with their arms crossed.
Then they raise their arms, whipping their hands through the air dramatically as they call out,

"The passion of a burning hear of justice! PRISMA RED!"

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     "The nobility of the just..Prisma Royal Purple!"

     Royal Purple takes a deep bow as he forms, purple and white spandex wrapped around him. His helmet has a crown symbol for a faceplate, which sounds terribly unwieldy, but it's magic, who cares. He straightens and takes his proper pose, holding his arms out to the side.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     "The chivalry of the just! PRISMA KNIGHTLY SILVER!"

     Knightly Silver forms, on the opposite side of Passionate Red from Royal Purple. As he speaks, his arms are pointed to the air, before he bends his knees, brings his arms around, and stretches them diagonally away from. His entire pose is perfect, practiced, and natural.

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    "The true charity of the human spirit! Prisma Cute Pink!"

    Cute Pink forms as well. Given her stature, she's in front, slightly between Knightly Silver and Passionate Red, her own hands stretched upwards within the brilliantly pink uniform. Given the hair, it was probably an inevitable coloration, really. Her pose is a little slacker than some of the others, but still shows the coordination of a true team.

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Aya takes a deep breath and slowly recovers from the horrid sight of those... things. Yes, they have a proper name, but she refuses to even think of them in that fashion. Because ungh. That fashion. It takes her a moment but she does recover.

    Just so she can side-glance at the males in the female restroom. Oh well! It's just part of the thing. "I soooo agree, Riva. One day." She nods her head once.

    Synchronized with Riva, she grabs her cellphone out of her hair and starts keying in with one hand, much like she was doing before. Instead of hitting the app icon, she just presses another button and flips it closed. What, she has an old flip cellphone. Not everyone has a smartphone, after all. Still synchronized with Riva, she slams her closed cellphone into her belt's holder.

    Truth be told, she's not exactly a fan of the costume, but... well. It just comes with the job.

    "The quiet intensity that supports your dreams! PRISMA COOL BLUE!"

Riva Banari has posed:
Once complete, all five pose again, dramatically, shouting in unison:

"PRISMA COLOR RANGERS!"

There is a dramatic neon-color flash light effect from them all! Flashy effects, go!

Misha (757) has posed:
    Thus, the heroes of justice and all that is colorful are born into the world again. Posing in the middle of a women's restroom.
    Outside the restaurant the Tenbas are running amok, and by now something else has arrived. At least ten feet tall, a mechanical monstrosity of green metal plating. It walks on reverse jointed legs, rumbling as it vents black jets of exhaust.
    And then there's another scream.
    Everyone will recognize Misha on top of the war mecha, but she's not piloting it. No, the dark-haired music student is struggling to wriggel free of a very familiar burly form. His heavily muscled body is adorned in black armor, and that blonde hair is still swooped up in two stupid points.
    "HAAAAAAHAHAHA! COME OUT COME OUT PRISMA SQUAD!" Rade Repulso cackles.
    "I HAVE CAPTURED THE LEGENDARY STAR MAIDEN AND I WILL TWIST HER TO MY EVIL WILL."
    ...
    "FOR EVIL!"
    Misha does not seem to be too pleased about this. "Let me GO!"
    The Tenbas are also still sucking the color out of everything with blurbles of "Tenba! Tenba Tenba!"
    Go get them, heroes.

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     "RADE REPULSO!" Royal Purple shouts, dramatically pointing at villain, "How dare you kidnap the Star Maiden?! Such base evil...I'll never forgive you, Rade Repulso!"

     "Don't worry, Star Maiden. We won't allow him to do as he pleases!"

     Royal Purple charges forward, pulling the cell phone from his belt as he runs into the Tenba. With a flick and a swish, the phone suddenly extends into a long, heavy-looking purple sword, which he grabs with both hands. "Royal Slasher!"

     The heavy blade comes falling into the Tenba ranks immediately. The huge, heavy weapon leaves a trail of purple with every swing!

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Knightly Silver pulls out his own weapon. Where as Royal Purple has the large sword, Knightly Silver has a leaner, more rapier-like blade. The similarity in weapons, and yet the differences in size... Perhaps this, quite simply, is one of the reasons that Knightly Silver has decided that Royal Purple is his rival.

     And that's all there is to say on that statement.

     "KNIGHTLY CUTTER!"

     Knightly Silver rushes across the battlefield, slashing at Tenba. His attacks have tons of flourish to them, and are more on finesse than power. A trail of silver follows his attacks as well, especially as he aims for the arms and legs of the Tenba.

     He'd go for Rade Repulso, but he knows that it is usually the Leader's job to take on the main enemy. Or at least he assumes that'll be the case.

     But, a glance is given over towards Royal Purple, and Knightly Silver chuckles, "Hey, bet I can take out more of these guys than /you/."

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Cool Blue whips out her cellphone and-ungh. What is with this green metal plating? And reverse jointed legs?! Really? No no. Not the time. The phone flips open as she aims it at the the giant war mecha. "Cool Scan!" She strikes a pose with the phone held sideways as it's aimed at the mecha to scan it for weak points to bring it down!

    "For being a crime against the eyes and the world (mostly the eyes), We will stop you, Rade Repulso!"

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    Cute Pink will whip out her phone as well and... make a call, standing there in the midst of all the chaos and technocolor.

    Ring. Ring. Ring.

    "Hello? Mantecore? Can you come help out, please?" There's a slight roaring on the other end, and then a white tiger with a pink ribbon around its neck will rush out of nowhere, diving alongside Royal Purple into the crowd of Tenba, tearing and rending and attempting to render color into the world. The pink ribbon leaves an aftertrail of color, as well.

Riva Banari has posed:
Prisma Passionate Red points at Rade, gesturing as she does so. "You dastardly fiend! Not only are you stealing the color from our world, rendering it a boring, lifeless monochrome, but you're also kidnapping the Star Maiden! Your evil will not stand!"

Prisma Red, too, brings out their signature phone-weapon, the phone becoming a giant polearm-sized paintbrush! She plants one end of it into the ground and cartwheels over the pair slamming into the Tenba horde as she leaps with acrobatic flair to lunge towards the robot itself while Pumple and Silver start pushing them back!

"PASSIONATE DANCE!" She calls as she spins the paintbrush, leaving red trails as she strikes repeatedly at the mecha, aiming for those weak points if Cool Blue picks them up in time! "Let the Star Maiden go, her shining light must be allowed to inspire all people!"

Misha (757) has posed:
    The last stall in the bathroom opens up and girl with stark white hair and blue eyes pokes out.
    She sighs.
    "Cosplayers."
    Nevertheless... IT IS TIME TO BATTLE.
    "Uh! Hello?! That was supposed to be my secret identity!" Misha scowls at Rade. But he is evil, so he IGNORES HER.
    "HA HA HA! I knew you color cadets would come the second you sniffed trouble!" he says, unconcerned from atop his mecha as the Prisma Squad begins laying into the Tenbas.
    The Tenbas are complete mooks, their cardboard armor and their numbers do nothing to protect them in the least as they charge the Prisma Squad. Every blow struck by Royal Purple and Knightly silver returns tones of purple and white to the world, Mantecore leaping into the fray and bringing shades of pink with it.
    "Tenba! Tenba Tenbaaaaa!"
    And for each Tenba stricken by the unstoppable assault of the sentai hero team, their armor explodes with sprays of sparks and cheap pyrotechnics instead of blood.
    "NICE TRY Prisma Punks! But you can never stop me!"
    Cool Blue's scan will find that the mecha is weak to the color black! BUT THERE IS NO BLACK RANGER! HELP!
    So Red must take a stand, every stroke of that polearm sized brush bringing color to the terrible machination, and more explosive sparks, but Rade kicks out with one of the metal legs. "But you've fallen into my trap!" Announced as he presses a button. "Because MY HUGENESS IS SUPREME! EVIL POWER! MAKE MY MECHA GROW!"
    Lightning strikes. And for an instant the large machine monstrosity does begin to grow. Until the Star Maiden begins singing. A soft tone but lyrical and melodic words of power, which thankfully keeps the mecha on a scale that doesn't require the Prisma Rangers to summon the SPECTRA ZORDS for this episode.
    "WHAT?"

Mir (340) has posed:
    The sound of a motorcycle penetrates the scene, roaring in the distance... then closer. Closer. It does a TOTALLY SWEET ramp off the top of a building nearby, trailing sparks thanks to the FLAMING SKULLS set on the sides. It slams into the pavement hard, screeching to a halt and letting the slender, dark-garbed rider flip off the bike and onto the ground in a nimble pose. A flowing red scarf covers this girl's face.

    "Prisma Squad! This time, we have the same enemy." Yes, that's right, it's the infamous anti-hero, the MASKED RIDER who has appeared.

    "SINGING KICK!" An incredible leap launches the Masked Rider(who could it be?!) toward the mecha, snapping a kick toward the center. "GO, Prisma Squad! Save the Star Maiden!"

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    The cellphone of Cool Blue snaps closed. "Black? But... Oh no! No one here has the power of Black!" The cellphone slowly lowers as the arms of Cool Blue tremble dramatically! What, you can't see the faces, so it's all in the overly dramatic body language! "How... how are we supposed to win?!"

    And then the sound of a motorcycle arrives, as if in answer! The Masked Rider makes her entrance and gives the mecha a huge kick! "Masked Rider!" Cool Blue's trembling stops as her free hand grips into a fist.

    "That's right. We won't give up. We'll save the Star Singer!"

    The closed cellphone turns in Cool Blue's hands and then is grasped in both hands after she windmills her arms to pose. "COOL BURST BOOST!"

    A beam of blue light fires forth from the cellphone towards Passionate Red's paintbrush to power it up!

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     "Evil power will never defeat the power of justice!" Royal Purple levels his finger at Rade Repulso, then brings the Royal Saber up to his shoulder. As the Masked Rider arrives, he nods, thankfully. "Masked Rider's timing is perfect, as always...good! That means we have a window."

     Royal Purple surges forward, swinging the weight of his blade at the Tenba again. It technically doesn't have any weight at all (it's just light), so the weight is whatever ROyal Purple wants it to be - which in this case is 'huge.'

     "Passionate Red! We're almost ready for the finisher, aren't we?!"

Fassad (248) has posed:
     As Knightly Silver keeps cutting at the Tenbas, he takes a moment to glance around. Though he had tossed out the idea of a 'who can kill the most Tenbas' competition, he realized: There is /definitely/ a way he can outdo Royal Purple here. It's risky, it's dangerous, and it's something that Red should be doing. But he'll /try it anyways/. Anything to one up his rival!

     But, just as he is about to /rush off/, Royal Purple points out the whole 'Hey we have to do the finisher' thing. And he sighs. As much as he wants to run off on his own, and take all of the glory for himself? They're a /team/. And so, while still fighting the Tenba, he runs over to get in position to prepare for the Finisher.

     "...Once we launch the finisher, I'll leap in and grab the Star Maiden to make sure she is safe."

     He hopes he can at least get /that/ bit of heroics.

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    Cute Pink will continue to root on her tiger companion, but it's becoming a slight panic situation as the weakness is called out and none of them have it. At least, up until the Masked Rider shows up, and at that she'll wave wildly. "Hey! It's good to see you, and to have your help!"

    She's being rather generous, of course, but teaming up to save the Star Maiden seems worthwhile. "We should get this going quickly! We have to save her as soon as possible, before all the color fades from her." Cute Pink's big cat will roar approval at this, moving back over to her as they get ready for the finisher. "Passionate Red, hurry!"

Misha (757) has posed:
    Despite the AMAZING red scarf and bitchin' flaming skulls, the mystery anti-hero Rider's color scheme is mostly black, and thus the mecha is IMMEDIATELY weakened by the intense blow of that signature Singing Kick.
    The mechanical monstrosity is staggered, stumbling on its inverted legs and sending Rade Repulso into a fit as he tries to hold on. "No! This can't be! Masked Rider! I thought you were out of town!" He howls.
    "Uwah!" And the Star Maiden falls from his grasp. Someone will need to catch her as Rade is now fully unable to defend himself from the imminent tokusatsu bombardment of the Prisma Team's finisher!

    Cute the theme music again.

Riva Banari has posed:
There is an explosion of more sparks as the mecha kicks Passionate Prisma Red back away from them, and they go flying, tumbling end over end to hit the ground roughly. "Ugh..." she says, pulling herself up and clutching her chest and staggering from the powerful hit. "Only weak against Black... But Black is when you mix ever co-"

She pauses. "Oh, right, light, not paints. ARGH!"

With a cry, she spins the paintbrush, trailing red from one side and blue in the other in streaks as she twirls her way through the Tenba that inevitably try to swarm her!

She then points with the Passionate Paintbrush at Rade. "Evil will never triumph as long as the color of life lives in our hearts! The Star Maiden has set up the canvas, and we're going to paint you a whooping you're not going to forget!"

This is when the MASKED RANGER arrives. "You!" She says, immediately going on guard. Is she going to attack them too?! To make things so much more complicated... but the Masked Ranger chooses to work with them! Prisma Passionate Red nods. "All right! Colors are best when they complicment each other! Come on, Rangers! Let's blend and take this hunk of junk out!" She turns, flipping the paintcrush sideways to give Jando and Fassad an alley-oop and get them into range of the mecha, as she pulls back, helping to push the charge up against the remaining Tenba so they can work together to save the Star Maiden! "WAAAAAGH! HERE WE GO!" The Tenba explode around her with a flourish as she holds up her weapon. "ALL THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW, TOGETHER! PRISMA DEPLOY!" There is a flash as a glowing framework appears in the air, and Prisma Red hurls her weapon into the light! It transforms, the paintbrush spreading open and adding physicality to the framework as it glows a deep red. Now is the time for the others to add their weapons to complete the final attack!

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     Royal Purple sets his blade on the Prisma Deploy. The blade locks in with a CLICK, purple light rippling along the core. "PRISMA DEPLOY: ROYAL SABER PURPLE!"

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Cool Blue flips open her cellphone and holds it up. "Goooo! PRISMA DEPLOY: COOL SCANNER BLUE!" It immediately turns into blue light and joins the glowing framework up in the air.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     Knightly Silver throws up is weapon as well, shouting, "PRISMA DEPLOY: KNIGHTLY RAPIER SILVER." It locks in, of course, on the opposite side from where Landon's is. Which unfortunately makes this final attack completely unbalanced.

     But, even though Knightly Silver /knows/ he needs to be there for the final attack (even if just for style purposes), he has something else to do first. He runs forward, to catch the Star Maiden in his arms. He'll carry her in his arms, before running back to line up with the others again.

     "Are you alright, Star Maiden?"

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    Cute Pink will pull the ribbon from around her tiger's neck, the cloth bursting into light as she speaks up. "Prisma deploy: Cute Ribbon Pink!"

    The tiger is now theoretically wild and not as much under her control, but it'll stay calm as she strokes at its head and merges her color into the framework.

Riva Banari has posed:
As the others add their weapons, the device gains shape and formation, becoming a big, gleaming prism-laser with a golden trim! "FINAL BLAST...." And the Prisma Color Rangers leap upwards to fire blazing beams of their color into the Prism!

"PRISMA COLOR FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSIOOOOOOOOOOOON!"

From the prism, a burning line of SUPER FUSION WHITE JUSTICE explodes outwards to join the Masked Rider's strike!

The team will, of course, land on the opposite side of the monster in an Awesome Team Pose afterwards.

Mir (340) has posed:
    By this time, the Masked Rider is atop a building. With her motorcycle. Somehow. Scarf billowing in the wind, she stares down at the heroes as they perform the victory pose, lingering just long enough to be seen with that dramatic, glaring pose of her own...

    Then the bike wheels around and roars away, rumbling off atop the rooftops to vanish again, like the antisocial dark and brooding antihero that she is.

Misha (757) has posed:
    "Oof!"
    Into Knightly Silver's arms, the Prisma Range will find that the music major student is fairly light. And thus easy to drag along for the pose. "I'm... fine." She huffs, thusly GALLANTLY rescued from what would have been a nasty fall.
    And Rade can do nothing to stop his impending demise. For the Prisma Team lets their powers combine. The might of mixed pallete JUSTICE lances forth, striking Repulso's vehicle of doom.
    "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME PRISMA PUNKS!" Howled as he's launched skywards from the immense explosion of sparks and pyrotechnics that goes on in the background of the posing squad.
    In slow motion.
    Rade is send in an uncontrolled flight off into the distance before he becomes a star on the horizon with a tiny *~bling~*
    His silhouette plasters the starry sky, flashing a thumbs up and huge grin, even in defeat as his voice carries like an echo.
    "I regret nothing..."
    The Tenbas-- what's left of them scramble off, going to retrieve their leader for another day of evil, as color is once more returned to the world.
    A small huff and the Star Maiden adjusts her clothes. "... Thank you Prisma Rangers. If not for you, the world would be a bleak and colorless place."

    Just then, the world seems to flicker with static. It seems, the dive is coming to an end, as everything pans to a shot of Masked Rider, driving off into the sunset, with slow mournful music as credits roll.
    Will anyone ever understand that mysterious loner?

    The question will go unanswered as the credits finish, and everything returns to blackness.
    And the pods start to open with a hiss.

Fassad (248) has posed:
     As the pod opens, and as Fassad steps out, he just glances at the others. A baffled look on his face. He pauses for a moment, and once everyone is out of the pods, he has only one thing to say.

     "...So. Urm. What, exactly, did we accomplish?"

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako sits upright really quickly once her pod opens, peeking out of it. "That... that was fun! And interesting, too!" She giggles brightly. "A little creepy how I wasn't exactly myself, but... still fun!"

Caro Ru Lushe (96) has posed:
    Caro will pop out of her pod - Friedrich's right there to land on her shoulder and complain in his way about not getting to go along - and reply to Fassad. "Well, we managed to rescue the Star Maiden and crush the villains, of course! ...And there's probably a really deep meaning to it, if it weren't for them telling us this wasn't a normal dive. I think this was mostly a test run, right?"

Landon al Cid (642) has posed:
     "I do believe," Landon observes as he emerges, "We helped someone in trouble. That, itself, is its own reward."

     Landon smiles. "But on the larger scale, I believe we were simply practicing for a proper Dive. It was..."

     Landon looks at his hands for a long moment. It was a very real feeling. Was the Reyvateil aware of who SHE was during it all?

     "...intriguing, to say the least."

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako nods her head quickly. "The silver-haired lady said it was a 'pre-written program' to help ease Misha back into Diving, so..." She gets out of her pop properly. "I wonder what Misha thought about it?"

Riva Banari has posed:
Riva explodes out of he pod and does a TOTALLY SWEET POSE.

Or would except she slips and falls on her butt. "WAAAAGH!" She yells, grunting as she hits the floor.

This doesn't stop her from laughing. "Oh man, that was amazingly awesome! I would TOTALLY do this again!"

Ayako Hasekawa has posed:
    Ayako smiles softly and walks over to Riva to help her back up to her feet. "I somehow had a feeling you would react just like that, Riva!" She giggles brightly and shakes her head slowly.

Misha (757) has posed:
    With the dive over and all the pods opening, Misha sits up. She looks just as bewildered as everyone else.
    "... Well I got something out of that, at least." She does admit a bit sheepishly, while rubbing the back of her head.
    This is about when Spica swoops in, plucking the disk from the Dive machine's drive. "Did you all have fun? That's right, it wasn't a REAL Dive into Misha's soulspace, but it should have the same effects. A nice little taste of what some of them can possibly be like! Assuming someone doesn't chicken out again."
    Misha glowers at her SPY CONTACT, "Spica, where did you even get that?" she simply has to ask.
    "Oh, I got it off Multibay. It was user created. I think the username was 'xXxShureliadrools360noscopegamertowerqueenxXx'."

Riva Banari has posed:
Ayako helps Riva up, and she nods to the water spirit. "You know me pretty well, Ayako~" She chuckles, and then looks over to Spica and Misha. "Well, that's a hell of a user name. But hey, that was an awesome experience. You can call on me to help you out /anytime/, Misha. I know they won't all be like that, but the experience was pretty valuable!"
