[Miyabigaoka] Takeuchi Manor

"Meh. We'll probably end up with more people in it eventually. I dunno who yet, but I guess it's something worth doing on a case by case thing," Shoichi said as he opened the front door and shifted he boxes into the entry hall. Once they were all inside, he turned to look toward the darker-haired young woman in Mikasa's friend group. "Well, not really. I mean... we were both doing stuff, but it kinda got ripped apart 'cause of me. I'm pretty sure he could have done it at the time, though. You could do it too."

"Hai!~ Sounds like a plan to me~" Mikasa said. She was a fairly easy going person all things considered. Moving right along, Shoichi went on to explain how their last dwelling had ended up in ruins. And his explanation was one that Sawa still couldn't quite grasp. When he went on to say that Sawa herself would be capable of such a feat. "Nani?! Me, yeah, I don't think I got mansion destruction in me. Nor do I think I wanna do any such thing.~" the girl said. She was a rather cheerful individual and seemed to find this whole thing utterly ludicrous. And then beyond that point, there was the matter of finally getting the things into the house which Mikasa would get to. "So if only three of the rooms are taken, which ones are they... I wouldn't wanna take over anyone's space." she said seeming to just be trying to figure out room placement and the like so that she didn't put herself too close nor too far away from her housemates.

"Eh?! Why wouldn't you want that? If you became able to do that, then you'd be able to play with the rest of us. She can do it," he said while pointing toward Mikasa with his thumb. He would then look up at the floor which contained the bedrooms in this building, recalling the room setup before answering the young woman's question. "They'll be obvious. All our rooms are full of shit already, so you can just go ahead and take whatever empty one you want. They've all got basic furniture, though. So... about that meeting." With his final words, Shoichi stood with his hands in his pockets while looking at the trio of women, wondering if they would all actually be joining him on his trip to the Black Order's meeting this night.

"EH!?" this was the first reaction of Sawa as Shoichi explained why she'd want the ability to destroy houses and that Mikasa had such an ability already. The look the brown haired girl gave her made Mikasa's eyes widen and then she rather suddenly blushed just a tiny bit looking off into the distance. "I mean... I don't generally ride to do such things. I could probably cause a big enough charge to topple a small building... or two. It's kind of an easy bar to reach set among the people I grew up with." she explained. To be fair Mikasa couldn't personally think of a single one of her gravity children peers who couldn't down a building if they wanted to. Moving right along Sawa just smiled. "That's some entirely different bars to set. Beautiful, you're gonna have to be a bit more forth coming with this kinda information. We've been friends for years now~" she said seeming to laugh the whole thing off. After all, everyone had secrets and she wasn't really the sort to pry.

Shoichi on the other hand, seemed to be interested in finding out if they were still planning to attend the meeting. Mikasa planned to, and knowing she'd rather easily be able to find a room to move into she seemed satisfied about it. Hanako took this opportunity to speak up for the first time in a while. "I still want to go, it's been a while since I've been to a team meeting I still think it will be fun." she said seeming to nod. Meanwhile Sawa's eyes lit up. "YOSH!! It's gonna be awesome~" she said. Mikasa would only nod as well, after all, if she didn't she'd have to content with Shizuka alone, and she couldn't well duck the girl if she knew where she lived.

"Sweet! Oi, Tink!" he called out, prompting the approach of the pink-haired Pledge Queen from within the house after a few moments. "Okaerinasai, Sho-kun! Mika-chan! At this rate, I thought I would have to go to the meeting alone," she said, seeming to have fully prepared herself to head out already. "Nah. Just had to pick up some new friends, move Mikasa in... y'know. More importantly, these lovely ladies are coming to the meeting too. Wanna hook 'em up?" Though he had first asked Usagi, who seemed to be instantly preparing herself to do something, he turned to the pair of ladies afterwards to explain. "Ya' gotta have ATs to get to the meeting, so... training starts now. Shoichi special crash course!" he said with a smile. In the meantime, Usagi threw together two pairs of high-functioning ATs over the course of a few seconds, which would be perfectly suited to the two if they chose to don them.

At the words of her friend Mikasa only nodded. She didn't mean to keep things from them, it just wasn't the sort of information that came up easily in conversation. Moving right along, soon enough something even more amazing would be happening in front of the eyes of the friends of the Thunder Queen. And that was the entrance of the Pledge Queen of Mikasa's Generation. She was also greeted with a great deal of familiarity. "Usagi-chan!~ Long time no see. These are my friends, Satomi Sawa and Shinjinko Hanako~" she said only to have the other pink haired girl before her make two new pairs of ATs. "You two, this is Sasagawa Usagi, she's another of the people I grew up with." she mentioned, with the same amount of vigor she had in their introduction to Shoichi. Her own were presently in a bag near them, along with the other pieces that made up her body suit regalia. Mikasa only ever wore half of it and as such started walking towards it with the intention of at least slipping on her ATs for the meeting.

But before the other two girls could properly greet the Pledge Queen though they were stunned by the new ATs made for them. Sawa in particular seemed to have the most astounded reaction. "What?! How?! This is literally like top 3 most amazing things I've seen and two of them happened today. Is this just normal for the Black Order?!" she was seriously curious and the amount of things she'd seen today seemed to go well beyond her expectations of normal people. Hanako seemed to gather herself first and thanked the pink haired tuner for her help. "Arigatou Gozaimasu and to you as well Takeuchi-san~ Sawa says so too, she's just... easily excitable." she said which only caused the sporty girl to blush a little. "Gomen, but don't act like you're not amazed too~" which only made the girl with the light brown hair smile. She was in fact even more stunned than Sawa was, her speech was her way of dealing with it, which her friend had to know. "Sumimasen... Usagi-chan is the Pledge Queen, she's leagues ahead of the average tuner. I'd forgotten that you guys hadn't met anyone like her yet~" said Mikasa.

"Hajimemashite," Usagi said with a gentle bow toward the two whom she had just offered newly crafted ATs to. These two were quite obviously not familiar with the abilities of Gravity Children, as per their reaction to this low-level tuning process, but Shoichi would be the one to comment on this. "Not the Black Order. Just... our old household, and a couple of others like it," he stated to encompass all Gravity Children he knew of. While this conversation occurred, Usagi's eyes twinkled. Mikasa shifting about alerted her to the rhythm of the Thunder Regalia, which she hadn't harmonized with in quite some time. Usagi felt much like she was being reintroduced to an old friend, much like what was actually the case with Mikasa herself. "Ano... Mika-chan, your Regalia is out of date. Would you like me to do something about that?"

The two other girls put on newly offered ATs with thanks and greeting offered to the Pledge Queen. "Hai, Yoroshiku~" they both said in unison as they sat atop a couple of boxes to put on their new ATs leaving their shoes with the boxes. During this, Shoichi explained a bit about the abilities of the others and stated that it wasn't the entire Black Order who were completely and utterly monstrous in their abilities, but specifically just a group of them who'd grown up with Mikasa or grown up in groups like Mikasa's. This was a rather curious statement for both girls, but they'd be sure to remember to get the important bits of information out of Mikasa later.

Speaking of the Thunder Queen before she couple properly put on any of her Regalia, her Pledge Queen mentioned that it was out of date. She looked at the young woman and realized it had indeed been quite a while since she'd last gotten anything done to it and she as never one to turn down Usagi's tunings so she simply smiled at the other pink haired girl. "Hai!~ If you would be so kind. I actually haven't been doing much riding lately so I hadn't really thought about it." she said simply standing by the bag that contained all the pieces of pieces of her regalia and moving closer to the Pledge Queen. "So, where are we doing this?" she asked. It had been so long since she'd been tuned by Usagi she didn't know of the young woman's progress, but she was about to find out. While this happened, her two friends seemed confused as they laced up their ATs. It would be surprisingly enough Hana who commented to Sawa. "I thought, Mika didn't require tuning because she had a regalia." she said aloud, her understanding of this situation was off in more ways than one. "Don't worry I'm right there with ya'. Wasn't the whole point of those, that they didn't need tuners... she never had any sessions while we were riding together."

When asked where this tuning process would take place, Usagi smiled. She rolled toward Mikasa, converting her ATs, headset, arm bands, choker, and the device on her right forearm, into the active state of her Regalia. This occurred via a mass of mechanical butterflies merging into the pieces to create a body suit complete with wings, a skirt with thrusters, and a pair of double-layered halos upon her head. "Dynamic Synthesis: Access!" One of her Regalia's butterflies kept its original form and landed upon Mikasa's head, maximizing their connection in an instant, while making the Thunder Queen an extension of Usagi. When she reached Mikasa, she opened her arms and used her active Regalia to interface with the Thunder Regalia by tearing it apart, piece by piece. In the meantime, Shoichi found his standing place next to the Thunder Queen's friends. "A Regalia doesn't mean you don't need tuning. It just means you can't be tuned by any run-of-the-mill Link Tuner. Ya' need a Pledge Queen for a real hookup." Shoichi said these words while the pieces of the Thunder Regalia floated around the area, being combined with other pieces that had come from Usagi's room in the house. They assembled around Mikasa's body, primarily at the knee joints where the cores had been moved and redesigned. After a few moments, Mikasa would be sporting something of a white body suit with very prominent thigh-high ATs, hip attachments on either side, sleeves, and a headset with a cat ear motif. Strangely enough, the process removed Mikasa's existing gloves, sash, and hair tie. This act of tuning would end with two remaining pieces of the original cores attaching themselves to the outer sides of the woman's knees. "I rebirth the Thunder Regalia: Silver Chariot!"

"Sugei!~" was the only word spoken by Mikasa initially. Moving right along, she fully respected the changes made to the Pledge Queen's gear and her own butterfly based motif. "Usagi-chan, you like butterflies too~" she asked seeming to be amused by the fact they had something in common besides their hair color. To be fair, Usagi was by far one of the easiest girls to talk with from her generation and as such she could at least appreciate the young woman's fashion sense. Soon enough, the young woman was giving birth to her newest regalia and Mikasa was by far very impressed. "Silver Chariot? Nani!? Done already, and it's sooo awesome~" she said having a look at herself and getting a feel for this new form of her body suit regalia. She moved a bit and it caused two small creatures to emerge from the knees of her suit and fly about in the immediate area of her body. "Oh, they are things?!" she said seeming to be stunned by them. Turning around to have a look and catching sight of the last major chain. "What? Do I have a tail?" she questioned seemingly stunned.

Mikasa's friends got their own ATs on then watched the tuning process while Shoichi explained about regalia and link tuning for those who held them. "Sou desu ka." they said in unison. Sawa for all the composure she managed didn't know where to place the tuning process she'd just witnessed, and it was beginning to make her believe she'd need a completely different list for Mikasa and the people like her. "This is just amazing. Like new top 3 amazing. Does everyone else know about things like this? I feel like a tourist." she said, her constant gawking completely known to her and seemingly something she couldn't help. Still watching the Thunder Queen experience her new regalia was something that made the sporty girl happy and thus she seemed to be the most energetic.
