Usuratonkachi, you can use my room if the couch gets too crowded. I won't be needing it for awhile. Try to not burn the house down; you know how to disarm my traps so don't just throw clones at it until there's none left. That method doesn't work indoors.

Taishou - Itachi will be covering my shifts at the club.

[Static bursts punctuated by a high-pitched discharge]

[ Theres some shuffling, before Maka finally settles into her seat. You'll be able to see that she is indeed in her temporary apartment, with a rather determined look on her face. ]I'll make this quick -- I want to learn more about this place, and I think it'd do a world of good to hit the library first.

This is impossible... Wh-what’s going on? Where am I? This can’t be Inaba...

[Footsteps. Quick and quiet, but distant.]

This has to be just a bad dream, right? I’ve fallen asleep on the bus again and now I’m having a nightmare. It all seems so ( Read more... )
