<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4a/Iris_Heart_-_Hyperdimension_Neptunia_-_2x3_portrait_-_mischeivous.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Natsuki Akuzawa<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Near the pool<br/><strong>With:</strong>Tatsuo, Sarah<br/><br/><strong>“‘<em>Peu de Soleil</em>’?”</strong>Natsuki repeated.<strong>“Ah, that sounds like a fancy place. I doubt <em>I</em> could afford it. Or that they’d even let someone like me <em>in</em>.”</strong>Natsuki laughed a self-deprecating laugh, but as she did it occurred her that this café had apparently hired an Abnormal… assuming Tatsuo<em>was</em>an Abnormal, which seemed increasingly likely. That was no small thing – especially if it<em>was</em>the kind of upscale place Natsuki was imagining.<strong>“Hm, maybe I will visit it, sometime,”</strong>she mused, thoughtfully, then added with a grin:<strong>“Hopefully while you’re working.”</strong><br/><br/>She didn’t miss the implications of Tatsuo’s offhand comment. It more or less confirmed what she’d already suspected.<strong>“Yeah, it’s a little surreal,”</strong>Natsuki admitted.<strong>“I keep imagining I can still feel the cuff. Or that I can see monitors watching out of the corner of my eye. Just about every time I go to do something, I find myself looking around to see if there are any monitors around, or any cameras. And then I keep re-realizing that most of the people walking around me are Normals, and I keep asking myself: can they <em>tell</em>?”</strong>She sighed heavily.<strong>“It’s going to take a lot of getting used to.”</strong><br/><br/>By that point they were approaching the pool area, and Natsuki waved a hand theatrically.<strong>“Here we are,”</strong>she said, somewhat proudly due to the fact that she actually knew what was going on here – at least better than the other two did. She pointed to where a table had been set up off to the side of the pool.<strong>“That’s where you sign up. But they let you walk around the pool, take a look at the equipment, and check out the changing rooms if you want. They’ve got really nice stuff here!”</strong>
