"Did he contact you?" Atoli was confused. Haseo never called her up and told her that he had received the e-mail as well. Did he perhaps keep in closer contact with Shino now? The thought had made her slightly jealous.

OFFLINE

"No," Shino could see the slight hint of jealousy behind the glitter of Atoli's eyes. She was a very easy to read girl, not that that was a bad thing. Something about her abrasiveness made her seem all the more pure. "I just thought he would."

OFFLINE

"Intuition?" The thought could only hop to worry Atoli further.

OFFLINE

"That's right," Smiling further, Shino turned her head away from the others inquiring gaze. "A woman's intuition."

"But if he really comes, it would seem like your hearts are connected," Atoli shrugged forwards, deciding it was best to say what was truly on her mind before she ended up chasing Shino away.

"Connected?" That statement had surprised Shino. In all truth she had never thought of it in that way. her own shock had clearly echoed itself in her expression as she blinked of into space.

"Someone like Shino-san suits Haseo-san better after all," It hurt Atoli a little as she said this, but it was true none-the-less. Shino and Haseo have known each other for a long time. And haseo had always longed for her, far before he even met Atoli, that she knew for certain.

Ah, so that's what it was.

"Why would you think that?" Slightly bemused by the notion Shino closed her eyes in thought. Atoli was the type of person where it was best to tell her outright what was going on. "I don't have that intention. Neither does Haseo."

"Really," Atolis heart lifted a little with the reassurance. Maybe she didn't have to worry so much after all.

"Don't you think so?" Shino's gaze shifted back to Atoli, doing her best to reassure the girl. Did she really think of her as a rival of all things? As much as she cared for Haseo she couldn't think of him as more then a close friend. maybe if she gave proof that Atoli was closer? "Atoli-chan, you adventured with Haseo-san. I think you could be more confident in yourself."

"Confidence..," Atoli couldn't help but shy away at that comment, turning off as she tried to think things through a little. Maybe if she opened up to Shino a little bit more perhaps she could understand her better. It was amazing that, despite their identical looks, they were so completely different. "I..."

At that moment Tabby had arrived to the scene next to where Shino and Atoli held their heated conversation. Turned away from them though, she eagerly looked around at the newly witnessed festival grounds. She was a beast-character whom had taken on the form of a cat/human hybrid. Her light brown fur making a great mix with the pink color scheme of her outfit. Sure enough to say, she was lacking in terms of modestly of her costume, but she liked the fact that it made her look cute. Her long hair was braided back and slowly formed into a tail-like feature.

"Master, this is amazing!" She spoke up in hyper excitement. "It's a festival area!"

Sakisaka, having received the same message from Ovan Tabby had, was surprised to gain a party invite the moment he logged onto "The World" for his first time in over a year. Who would have thought that that hyperactive feline friend of his was still keeping an eye out for when he was logged in?

Sakisaka was a lanky man, of about average height and mostly decked out in armor so that his general under-appearance couldn't be seen. Like everyone else, he took on a color scheme as well; green. The helmet on his head grew out a plant-like substance and the goggles attached to his face portrayed his emotions in different fun ways. On his back was a large turtle-shell like piece.

Unlike Tabby he wasn't as much interested in the area as what was going on around him. He heard from Tabby that a lot had happened over the past year, but he couldn't exactly wrap his mind around it. This was a game after all, right? But upon turning around to further survey the area something amazing caught his attention, his goggles immediately lighting up with a variety of visual images.

"S-shino-san!?"

"S-shino-san!?"

"Nyyun?" Hearing her masters sudden burst of explanation, Tabby lifted her hand up over her eyes to try to get a better look of the location. Really? Shino was here? But she hadn't caught sight of anyone el--

"It's Shino-san!" It was only as she turned around almost full circle that she caught sight of a the familiar figure. A large grin over-swept her face in excitement as she lowered both of her arms. But something was off, she knew Shino, but last she remembered she purposefully changed her mostly-white outfit to black. But now that she saw her old friend once again the outfit was back to it's original white shade. "Did you change your color again?"

Hearing a pair of unfamiliar voices suddenly behind her, Atoli turned around to come face-to-face with the funny looking "cat-girl" and "pant-man". Were they friends of Shino-san? The cat-girl was looking directly at her but she could swear she hear her call Shino-san's name. Feeling a bit in the way, she politely stepped out of the way so that the two could talk, making Shino a little more visible to the other two.
