After rushing like that she wasn't tired at all, but stopped anyway and looked at Tsu. Making her run crazily in this snow wasn't good at all.
"Don't collapse Violet-chan~" Ayame giggled looking at Tsu. Yeah ... I force her to run too much lately, don't I? looking around, there was only one bench close by. And someone was sitting there already ...

Her name tickled. Sighing sacrifice scratched her leg and went to woman on bench. What was that, curiosity, or she just liked meddling in other units buisness?

Woman looked kinda depresses ... Squating before her Ayame leaned elbows on knees and head on hands, looking above, at unfamiliar face.
"What deep thoughts are you thinking?" she asked staring on other woman closed eyes.

Tsu gasped horribly as she tried to catch her breathe. All that running in the cold did not do her lungs any favors that's for sure but Ayame was having such a fun time dragging her around that she just didn't have the heart to complain.

" Violet-chan would like to stop running now, Red-sama. Maybe then she wouldn't collapse," she replied jokeningly when she got her breathe back. Tsukiyoko felt her name tingle slightly which meant there was a unit nearby. She looked around and saw the strange woman sitting on a nearby bench looking rather sad about something.

She followed her sacrifice and stood next to her as she waited for the stranger to respond to Ayame's question.

Hotaru started slightly at the voice and looked down to see the girl that had spoken, she seemed to be about her age. Hotaru straightened and then she blinked slightly, noticing another one behind her. Okay, either she was seriously dense or Hotaru was more distracted then she thought. Her name was tickling, making the girl either a Fighter unit or the Sacrifice, or they were together.

Shit.

Hotaru was immediately cautious but made her face indifferent as she looked at the girl to answer her question.

”I was thinking of how the world was going to waste, and how everyone around me knew nothing of their impeding doom. Also that you can never tell what a person is truly like simply by the way they look, I mean, any of them could be oh, I dunno, a rapist or something.

Hotaru waved a hand in the air slightly, crossing her legs nonchalantly as she quickly studied the two girls. The both seemed her age was she looked at them, and one had red hair with her roots showing….hmmm

Hotaru sighed, she didn’t feel like fighting today, she had just needed air, and to add to that, she had yet to find her Sacrifice. But if the girls wanted to she guessed she could go auto…though that would cut her power in half. That was always a hindrance.

Some birds took off from the tree above her, she looked up to see that they were Ravens, birds of misfortune.

Goddamn red herrings.

Hotaru scowled but returned her attention to address her question to both of the girls.

”Why do you ask?”

(I suggest writing in order. Me, Tsu, Houtaro, Okay?)

Noddong head at what other girl said Bright smie showed on Ayame face.
"World is going down." she laughed silently. "And pulling us along isn't it?" this was nice though. Depressing, dark, yet ... nice.
"So then, what are you?"

Ayame waved hand. "Tsu, you sound like dying form air depravation. Sit down." Ayame didn't turned eyes away from other girl even for a moment.

"Why ask?" her brows rised at question. "I was curious." she never had other reason for asking.

(Works for me. That way we know who's going next)

Tsukiyoko cringed and swept some of her hair off of her shoulders and face with a quick sweep of her hand. She hadn't thought she sounded that bad" I'm fine Aya-chan. No need to worry about me," she replied absent-mindedly. She was thinking over what the strange woman had said.

It was a depressing thought. One that she didn't want to dwell on if she could help it. She shook her head to clear it and said, " Yes, it was only curiousity. That's not illegal is it?" She said it in a teasing manner in an effort to lighten the mood. She had a bad feeling about this woman. She seemed to getting ready for a fight which Tsu was not looking forward to.

Her violet ears twitched a bit which betrayed her anxiousness.

Hotaru almost burst out laughing at what the two of them had said, but instead she let her lip twitch only slightly. Now that she looked at them, it was obvious that they were a Unit. Also, her name had started to throb in warning when the girl sat down next to her, she ignored it effortlessly.

The air around her continued to lower in temperature the closer they got to sunset, already Hotaru could see the far clouds beginning to redden in anticipation for the moons arrival.

”Fair enough.”

Hotaru smiled slightly, putting a hand on the side of her face, her black hair tumbling over her shoulder.

”And no, I seriously doubt it’s illegal.”

She looked at the one who asked what she was, and smiled slightly, her hazel eyes warming slightly.

”I’m a Fighter Unit if thats what you mean, And yourselves?”

Her smile turned into a frown., She never talked this much before, what was her damage, she was revealing herself to a potential enemy. She cursed the fact of her soft heart, and her laziness that brought on the problem of her not having her Sacrifice, if they declared a battle by Wordspell, she’d have no choice to accept, or she’d lose face.

She couldn’t let that happen. She knew from first hand experience what happened to a unit that denied a battle declaration. When the teachers at Seven Moons Academy had found out (not that it was hard..that place is crawling with camera’s and microphones.) they had thrown the Fighter Unit out and had ordered him never to return. As far as she knew, he never did.

She silently cursed her bad luck but kept her face indifferent as she wagged a war within herself, fighting the urge to flee before the other two might declare a challenge, and also fighting her urge to stay quiet, as she normally would have, but she felt the impulse to know more about these two, so she would talk as long as they wished to.

"Are we an unit?" Ayame stand up and plopped on bench next to unfamiliar fighter. Stretching legs she sat comfortable and looked at girl. Stiff. As if she was going to jump up and run away~ or attack. she scratched her leg, itching was annoying. But lately, there were units everywhere she went ...

"Do we look like we are going to challenge you?" leaning head on the back of bench Ayame looked up trying to remember when she was in spell battle last time. Hmm ... nah, I dunno. giggling to herself she blinked couple of times.

"She" sacrifice pointed Tsu "Got little tired from running, se we're resting. What you're doing here?" chewing on inside of her cheek Ayame stand up and pushed Tsu down, forcing her to sit.
"Shh." she put finger on lips. "Sit down Tsu and don't struggle."

Ayame was anxious, she didn't wanted to sit. After sleeping as usual she had too much enegry ... which she would lack later. Insomnia, great thing~ forming snowball she waited for car to run down the street.

Tsukiyoko remained sitting but she didnt' want to. She was really starting to hate this lack of free will disease that Fighter Units seemed to get after they had met their Sacrifice. She shrugged,' Ah well, nothing can be done about it now,'

She turned to the other woman," Oh so that's why you were so on edge," she smacked her forehead for not thinking of it sooner," I keep forgetting about the stupid spell battles thing that goes along with the names."

She would have to start remembering that not all of the units were as new to all of this as she was.

" If you don't mind my asking stranger, What's you name? I like having names to put with faces you know," she asked with a bright smile.

(Sorry about this taking so long. My internet is starting to die on me again. So if I suddenly disappear, my internet died)

”You didn’t answer my question but whatever…moving on.”

Hotaru sighed at the girl who seemed to be sassing her. And scratched her cheek absently. Her hair reflected in the low light, out of the corner of her eye she noticed the lamps start to flicker on around her and smiled.

She turned to the first girl, the one who asked if they were a Unit.

”Quite obviously, otherwise you would have had no idea what I meant. Plus, your partner here…”

She flicked her head towards the other one, the one who seemed to not want to sit.

”Just proved my point…And I‘m searching for my Sacrifice to be honest with you. We haven‘t found each other yet. But she‘s in this town somewhere. I‘m simply waiting.”

She smirked slightly, shaking her head.

”I was thinking you might, but even if you were to challenge me, I don’t think I would lose so easily.”

She sighed as she smirked confidently, stretching her legs out. They felt stiff from the cold.

”By the way, your connection is showing~”

She spoke teasingly, and pointed to the plain as day sparkly string that was the Unit’s connection glittering in front of them.

She turned her attention to the other one, nodding indifferently.

”The name is a pain sometimes, though truth be told I didn’t notice you right away, as deep in though as I was.”

She paused slightly, debating whether she should say her name or not. After a moment she shrugged.

Oh what the hell. Doesn’t matter.

”The names Hotaru, Hotaru Tokugawa. And yourselves?”

Ayame threw snowball hitting car. Driver jumped up and started to curse, but didn't stoppd and drive away. Laughing in childlish manner she started to form next snowballs and throw them at icicles hanging down from roof of house across the street.
"Nah~ Probably, we are weak after ..." snowball hitted icicle with crushing sound "...all. Let it show, let it show~" Ayame clasped hands and threw next snowball. Connecting them thread behind her back faded to suddenly shine with sharp light. She rubbed side of her head with red from cold fingers.

"Were you following your thread?" since she was facing street other two girls couldn't see how her smile dissapear for a moment. Turning to them it was there again, bright and wide, as if she was constantly happy. Hapy idiot living in her happy small world.
"It's such a bother~" sacrifice poked thread connecting her and Tsu with one finger. "Destinity, hm?"

The brown haired girl hummed to herself as she walked down the street. Her eyes gazing ahead of her as her tail flicked from side to side. The air was cool but it didn't bother the girl.. She was extremely hot blooded. The girl looked at all the others on the park bench. Frowning slightly as she spotted the tanned, dark haired woman.. There was something about her.. The girl pondered whether she should approach or not..

As she soon as she saw an overly assertive male begin to approach her, she made her way over to the others. Quietly, as if not meaning to be noticed out right. She slowly brought herself to lean back against the wall behind the bench. Inadvertently looking like she 'belong' with the group of others. She crossed her arms beneath her chest and looked up at the sky silently. Admiring it's color quietly. Her legs crossing as she leaned.

The girl check back to the street every once in a while, making sure the assertive men and women kept to themselves.. She gave a happy sigh as she noticed that they were. She was safe for now.

Tsukiyoko nodded her head. " Tsukiyoko Delaine. nice to meet you," she replied in slightly unhappy tone. Ayame hated talking about their supposed "destiny" and nearly anything that had to to do with it.

" Yep, you'd probably beat us no problem," Tsu told Hotaru with certainty," I've fought in a Spell Battle before and I don't even really understand how they work so yeah. You'd beat us." She smiled at her own slightly depressing little "joke".

' Wow I'm really pessimestic today,' she thought absently. It wasn't like it mattered. She suddenly felt a slight pull on her hair and turned around to see a young girl standing behind them, looking for all the world like she was trying to blend in with them.

" You know hun. You'd be more convincing to who you're hiding from if you actually tried talking to us," she told the girl sweetly. The poor thing looked frightened enough without her adding to it.

' Wonder what she's so worried about,' Tsu thought worridly, her ears flicking in strange patterns that displayed her worry.

Hotaru sniffed slightly, cracking her knuckle by pressing them against her jaw bone absently. She had been planning on following it, but she shook her head anyway.

”Not really, I needed air. My apartment was getting stuffy….but I needn’t worry really, all units are unconsciously drawn together. I’ll find them eventually.”

She sighed, wishing she could find them soon. It was such a bother…maybe she should have let Sensei find them for he-

No. Not him. That stupid bastard.

She frowned, her good mood quickly disappearing at the mention of him…but she found t would be impolite if she left in the middle of the conversation. The girl called Tsukiyoko Delaine said something to her while she was seething, and she metally rolled back the conversation to see what she had missed.

”Wordspell isn’t very difficult to understand, if you have the right teacher that is…”

She mulled over that of a moment before looking at her as she spoke to someone behind her. She leaned back her head slightly to study the new comer.

She was small, obviously trying to look older than she was, Hotaru could tell from the slight roundness of her face that she was a but a child still…maybe thirteen at the oldest. Then she noticed the girls chest.

Whoa.

She blinked in surprise. She hadn’t been expecting such a young girl to have such large…assets…

Black writing caught her eye and she gasped, spinning around to look at it closer.

”Breathless…”

She breathed, looking up at the young girls face, suddenly she started laughing, almost hysterically as she hugged herself, tears pouring down her face at the irony of the moment.

”See? What did I tell you? Units are drawn together! Ahahaha!”

"Not really but really." she mumbled turning eyes at Hotaru thread and following it with eyes. It was ... shinning, leading to gir standing behind bench as if she tried to hide there. Not listening to them anymore Ayame made sure to remember girls face before she looked at other fighter again.

Ayame eyelid twitched as she saw Hotaru cry looking at other girl. Breathless hmm? So now we have new full unit. she pursed lips for a moment before she patted black haired girl head entsusiastically.
"You're scaring her~" bending down, she kissed other cheek. "Best wishes then." she looked up at Hotaru new sacrifice and gave her warm smile. After all other people believing in destiny and willing to bond themselves to strangers wasn't her concern.

Stepping back form bench she headed down the street, not looking back. Observing fighter SO happy with finding sacrifice wasn't too amusing ... kinda like spying on lovers.

Humming random tone she formed new snowball, looking for next target.
