Kyoko's Theme

Kyoko began to wonder aimlessly through Ambervale-goggles on like she always has them as her eyes darted at all the stands from behind them. To tell the truth she wasn't really entranced by anything; sometimes people thought she had the attention span of a goldfish or even a stick, when the truth was she just found conversations or looking at things for too long boring.

As she finally reached the hotel, Kyoko pulled up her goggles and looked as far up as she could, just to fall back onto the grass, since the hotel continued as far up as possible; possibly touching the sky and the clouds around it, intimidating the fifteen year old for a slight second till she popped her goggles back on and jumped up.

"♪I hope they have dumplings♪" Kyoko sang out as she began to skip into the hotel, looking around the giant lobby while looking around for the elevator.

Luckily, with her speed, she was able to locate it with no problems and the counter to sign up.

[Ghost]

Jin stormed into the lobby, dripping from the rain. However his clothing dried as quickly as he had entered, becoming as good as new and drawing some unwanted eyes. He carried two suitcases in each hand as his frown turned to a smirk. The time was soon, all would change, his redemption was near.

Quickly following other contestants to the elevator, he made his way to the counter to sign up. A look of humor was in his face as he scanned the room.

"One sees what one cares for, soon things will become more interesting."

[Skyy Himura]

There is a huge mob of screaming girls in the lobby surrounding a single chair. The mob is thick, and you can't see what they are screaming about...

[CommanderAlpha]

It was raining heavily in Ambervale, but so many people were still outside, it was a town full of parasols and raincoats. However, the town's lights still made the walls and rooftops glow with the amber light of the city's name. The people still conducted their business as usual, continuing to flit in and out of the shops like so many fireflies, conducting their daily goals and going about their daily tasks.

However, the town square was curiously empty, and the majestic fountain in the center seemed to shiver in the cold. The rain gathered around it, creating a swirling orb of water that resembled a storm in a human sized sphere. Then the water fell away into the fountain, and a figure was sitting at the top of the fountain. A massive blade was on his back, and besides a black headband, his body was covered in a large black muffler.

A single purple eye gleamed with intelligence under silver hair, the other eye covered by a black eyepatch with a white runic circle. A bandage-wrapped right arm reached up as the figure sighed, and the water once again rose up from the fountain in a swirling mass. A few seconds later, it fell to the ground with a splash, except the person was no longer there.

So you can imagine the hotel's consternation when the small pool they used for decoration suddenly decided to lift its water into the air and swirl it around in an orb. As it did so, it fell back to the ground. The receptionist and some of the bellhops merely shook their heads and smiled. For they knew one person with a liking for dramatic entrances.

Last year's winner, Hashigaki Yuushi.

The returning champion reappeared within the water as it fell to the pool with a splash, and as he bypassed the desk the receptionist reached underneath the counter and flung his key to him. He caught it without looking, and then glanced at the tag. "Penthouse, huh?

He looked around. There was a girl with goggles who looked younger than him, a guy with a white overcoat with two suitcases, and a mob of fangirls surrounding a contestant, as far as Yuushi could see. He sighed. Some people have no subtlety. He turned around to the counter, and he tossed the key back. "Give the penthouse to someone else, alright? The regular rooms are fine enough for me."

[Chrome Zero]

A hand, covered in a red glove caught the keys. "I guess... I'll take the penthouse then..." Dylan said, looking at Yuushi with his from the corner of his menacing eyes, his slight, amused grin concealed by the collar of his vest and bodywarmer. "Let's see... Who am I with... You, who look quite normal... The soaked moron that almost bumped into me.. A group of love-struck girls waiting to get pregnant and left alone... AND a female Daisuke Motomiya.. All this for a noble duty.." Dylan shrugged, looking at the receptionist, smirking, showing off his canines. "Riiiight..."

[Skyy Himura]

A tall man with extremely messy black hair emerges from the swarm of fangirls as if they weren't even there, with a somewhat annoyed look on his face. He is wearing a loose black pants, probably made of some sort of durable cloth, and a form fitting black sleeveless shirt. Other noticeable features include the fact that this man seems to have cat ears and a tail, both matching his hair color. "What the hell... I try to take a nap since I haven't slept in 3 months and the fangirls find me... Go figure..." he thinks aloud, and notices that other contestants are starting to show up. A girl with goggles, maybe 15 years old at best, a man in a white overcoat, maybe 21 years old, and one person he actually recognized; Hashigaki Yuushi, last year's winner.

The man smiles, and approaches Yuushi, looking to make conversation. "Hey, you're last year's winner, Hashigaki Yuu-" he starts to say, but the receptionist at the desk interrupts him loudly. "SIR! You still haven't gotten your room key! Here!" she yells, throwing a room key at the man, who doesn't seem to do anything about it, but catches it on his finger by the key ring and flings it back. "I told you, I don't need a room. I doubt I'll get any sleep at all during this tournament. Now where was I... Oh yeah. You're Yuushi, last year's winner, yeah?" he says.

Back behind the man, the mob of screaming girls quiets down, and they appear to be quite confused as to how the man had easily slipped away...

[CommanderAlpha]

As the newcomer caught the keys, Yuushi turned his single eye towards him, as he started describing everyone else. As he finished, Yuushi gave him a slight nod. "Domo," he said quietly, before turning to the receptionist. "I guess he can have the penthouse, neh? I leave the switch to you." He grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head with his right hand.

"Of course, as I was the original occupant, I'll pay for everythin' he uses, plus my own expenses." He said it politely, but the receptionist bowed low. "Of course, Yuushi-san." The previous winner grinned. "Jeez, I told you, Ayame-chan. Don't be so formal with me, it's so stuffy."

And then another newcomer came over, presumably the one that had, until recently, been immersed in the girl crowd. Immediately, Yuushi caught the sight of cat ears and a cat's tail on the newcomer's body. Oh? He turned as the newcomer recognized him, the Zanbatou on his back swinging around with his body. "Yeah, I'm Yuushi. And you are?"

[Chrome Zero]

"Last year's champion? It doesn't sound half as interesting as it should... And a.... Catkid? Nekomata? I'm beginning to see them everywhere I go." Dylan thought as he leaned against the counter. "Hey, champ, thanks a lot, but keep in mind that I don't intend to repay you. I'm here for business, not to show the world if I can kick ass."

[Skyy Himura]

"Hiya, the name's Neko. No jokes about my name meaning cat, and my ears and tail, please. I hear those everywhere." the man says, shifting his eyes to look at Dylan, and then he glances back to Yuushi. "Anyways, it's nice 'ta meet'cha. I saw footage of last year's tournament, you're pretty good..."

[CommanderAlpha]

Yuushi grinned as he turned to the other guy, who was by now leaning arrogantly on the counter of the reception desk. "Hey, newcomer. I don't expect you to. I got quite a large amount of credit here, anyways." He shrugged. "Besides, I don't come here to beat other people up anyway, I've had my own buisness here for a while."

He turned back to Neko. "Neko...Natsume Neko, right? The guy who's been appearin' in various dimensions to fight in the tournaments there, right?" He glanced over at the fan girls. "I hear you've attracted quite a fan base." He pointed at the girls, who were beginning to get over their idol's incredible disappearance. "Well, since you've seen me fight, want to test it later? Unless you're up to it now, before your fans find you again."

[Skyy Himura]

"Now's fine. I've got a couple minutes before they actually start looking. Every time I ditch them they just sorta stand around confused for a few minutes." he states and glances back at the confused mass of fangirls. "I just need to go prepare my weapon. Where should we do this?"

[CommanderAlpha]

Yuushi thought for a minute, then raised his wrapped right hand and pointed towards the elevator. "There's a pretty spacious arena section on the upper floors. We can use one of them if you want." From what Yuushi had heard, Neko used his own bones as weapons.

During the travels Yuushi had undertaken, he'd heard of such a technique in a far away land where ninja-types ruled the villages around the area. However, as far as he knew, the sole possessor of such a technique had died a while back. Looked like that part was wrong.

[Flame E.X.E.]

Hunter Drake approached the hotel. He was wearing a tattered brown floor length cloak with a hood covering his face. Normally he didn't mind the rain, but this much rain was intolerable, so he had bought a cloack some time ago, when he had gotten caught in a downpour. He enters the lobby. I need a break from all of this hunting for evil stuff... I need a break or Im gonna go nuts... Again. He enters the lobby and rips off his cloak, throwing it into the trash. He needed a new one anyway. As he did this, he noticed the stares fixed upon him by his unceremonial entrance. And the ones fixed upon his mechanical parts... As well as his appearance. He ignored the stares, standing there for a second, then began walking up to a counter to sign up. "I need a room." he said, as he opened his mouth for the first time since he entered. He leaned on the counter with his robotic arm. "Ok sir, what is your name?" Asked the attendant. He answered, "Drake. Hunter Drake."

[Skyy Himura]

And Yuushi was right, for the most part. Neko in fact did use his own bones as weapons, but, none the less, Neko walks away, assuring Yuushi he'd only take a minute, and walked over to the cafe in the hotel's lobby, buying a bottle of milk, and he walks back over to Yuushi, sipping at it. "Well, I'm ready."
