When Aurora asked her question Sayuri finally realized what she had gotten herself into. The revilation made her pause a second as her mind raced with worry.SHIT! what did I just do!? This girl could be a nemesis spawn! but if I tell her..and she isn't...maybe she'd be sympathetic..maybe she could be an...ally? Is it worth the risk? If she is a Nemesis spawn...wait..if she was...she already knows who we are. I guess in that case...I may as well gamble! Sayuri thought to herself. After collecting herself, Sayuri continued to speak, adressing Aurora's question with confidence.

"Well, in our time, there is a force that threatens all of exsistence known as Nemesis. Nemesis was born when a massive paradox in our era consumed the remains of a twisted opperation known as Project Wonderland, which had destroyed 2/3rds of reality by itself due to it's catastrophic failure. In out era, Kitsunemori remains the most powerful civilization left after that catsrophy, and we are at war with Nemesis who seeks to consume all of reality and bring it back a state of non-exsistence. As of now, the war is a stalemate, we cannot defeat Nemesis in our own era, so we have come to this time and dimension to track down the one person who stands any hope of being able to stop him and extra as much intel as we can from her. She's a student at starlight academy and also the one responsible for Project Wonderland....maybe you know her....she's called Alice Mordrake." Sayuri said to Aurora, trying her best to stay composed.

殿下人々はじろじろ見ています : Denka, hitobito wa jirojiro mite imasu : Your Imperial Highness, people are staring
別の所に行ったほうがいいです : Betsu no tokoro ni itta hou ga ii desu : It is better to go to a different location

Itou Hayato

And then Megumi no Miya proceeded to spill out about all of the major parts of their mission. In a world that they weren't familiar with. To a woman that they weren't familiar with, who was also most definitely dangerous. And they were in a ridiculous cafe surrounded by people, most of whom had already noticed them. Most of whom were now desperately trying to pretend that they weren't listening in on what was clearly the deranged ramblings of a young girl. Admittedly, it was better that way.

Well, so much for secrecy, Itou thought, staring vacantly at a random open spot of floor. For a princess, Megumi no Miya did seem to have unusually loose lips and the captain hadn't considered that it was even possible to fall lower than the already adjusted base of his expectations. He was wrong, and there was the not so vague feeling that things like this were going to be happening on a regular basis now.

"殿下人々はじろじろ見ています," the man informed the young princess quietly. "別の所に行ったほうがいいです。"

There was a moment of silence after Aurora spoke, and she eyed the both of them, wondering which would spit out the details about this so called mission to save reality. In the time, she had written a couple of extra notes right before the princess was off on another conversational spree.

Frankly, if she had been telling this to anyone but Aurora, even at Starlight, it's likely that the pair would have been made fun of, and their story put in the local tabloid for all to read. Ironically, it would have been the first true story they had ever written, and nobody would ever know it.

Their shenanigans however took a nasty turn when they pointed out a specific student involved in the whole affair, and it was at that point Aurora actually started taking their problems somewhat seriously. Aurora chuckled a little bit in response.

"That's a pretty impressive story. Although I suppose it holds some water, it's about as deep as my kitchen sink, and you're accusing students to boot."

Frankly, the princess was now committing the same personal crimes Aurora had done to her...but on a much larger scale. <a href='http://greatamericanthrills.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/consider_the_following2.gif' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Consider the following. </a>

"From where I'm sitting, if you think I have no sense of personal space princess, you're made yourself into one big hypocrite. If your story is false, you are accusing a student of crimes unimaginable without any real basis in fact. Unacceptable. If your story is true, you've just gotten our timeline involved in a problem that we probably didn't have to deal with. Also unacceptable. What a bloody mess."

In a strange twist, if the problem was in fact true, it was something that both tradition and convention alike would have cooperated on, and that was saying something significant. For two groups trying to kill each other, this would definitely take precedent.

"Unfortunately, the scale of your claim obligates me to listen and investigate, as well as escalate the claim to the Headmistress if you haven't already. Also, if you have something to say, do it in English. Nobody is listening. If they are, the story sounds ridiculous enough to not pay much more than a fleeting thought to."

I am ending this thread at last. <s>And probably going to pull one more post out of Ryu.</s> I will pull another post out of Ryu if it's the last thing I do.

Itou Hayato

Itou simply looked at the woman, not quite glaring. Any annoyance he felt at the situation wasn't aimed at her, after all. And if he was going to be proper about things, he should be quick to let go of that feeling entirely. Which was far easier said than done, of course. Ever since leaving the Heavenly Kingdom -Kitsunemori. It was all just part of Kitsunemori now- it seemed like he was running through a cycle designed specifically to try his patience in every way.

He did disagree with one of the director's comments, however. People were most certainly watching, although it was hard to fault her for missing it. It wasn't natural for people to be so observant -Itou himself surely was not. Actually, if it wasn't for a particular incident, he wouldn't have even had his hyper perception to pick up on things.

Not that he was too inclined to correct the woman's misconceptions. There was absolutely no need for it. She could go right ahead thinking what she did and it wouldn't make much of a different either way.

"My apologies," Itou said, rather gravely at the rebuke in the director's voice. "It is only for the sake decorum that I am using Japanese." Which was true. Suggestions had a tendency to sound so much ruder in English. At least in Japanese, things were clarified by the levels of formality.

Acusing students!? Does this woman not understand who Alice Mordrake is....what Nemesis is....does she not know what their war does to our home!? Sayuri thought to herself. In her mind, she just wanted to casually slit the throat of this woman...it would be simple, really, trap her an illusion and while she was off in bliss just take a dagger to her neck and end it all. How rude...how dare she! Sayuri continued to think in disgust as Aurora continued her lecture. After she finished speaking Sayuri stood up and looked down at Aurora with a fierce, wild look in her eyes.

"You'll never know just how dangerous Alice is. If you can't help us, thats fine, but don't expect us to help you either!" Sayuri said fiercely to Aurora. "Itou, please, come with me. We should leave this place..this woman obviously won't be of any help." She said to Itou as she marched out of the cafe.
