<strong>Name;</strong>Melisa Artemis<br/><strong>Location;</strong>Tokyo, Japan. Akihabara District.<br/><strong>Time;</strong>Morning, 9.25 AM<br/><strong>Tagged;</strong>Alessa Silverstone, Ryuuji Kurokaze<br/><br/>Melisa's eyes are gleaming with happiness as the car approaches their destination, even from the highway, it is quite easy to spot the changes in view between the districts in Tokyo. For Akihabara, the easiest thing to spot would be the shiny and colorful lights decorating the buildings, most of them are advertisements of a certain latest trend electronic products which just shows how much the district prides itself in being the most forefront center for anything electronic goods in all of Japan. As the view gets closer, even the people walking on the streets start to differ, people wearing costumes in broad daylight are appearing all over the place, magical girls, samurai, she even spot a couple wearing costumes, the guy posing as a certain full metal alchemist alchemist with the girl looking similar to a certain mechanic girl from the same series, both of them are posing for photo taken by a flame alchemist. Suddenly, as if realizing something, she turns her gaze toward the driver sitting at the front seat and smiles as she thinks to herself, 'I see.... good disguise.'<br/><br/>Once the car finally pulls over to a nearby parking lot, Melisa nearly jumps out of the car immediately but stop once Ryuuji tells her and Alessa to wait in the car for a few minutes instead. Both girl exchanges confused looks with each other but obeys the instruction anyway as the man in their trio check out the surrounding before opening the door for them and gives them an instruction. After giving the man assurance that neither her not Alessa has problem with his arrangement, Alessa then once again helped into her hover seat before Melisa exits the car too and the three makes their way into the heart of the district.<br/><br/>It soon clear that among the three, Melisa is the most familiar with the place, thus she leads the other two toward the nearest VR Pod dealer. The shop owner and Melisa appear to know each other as they greets each other warmly. Alessa moves forward and immediately place an order for the latest generation VR Pod along with delivery and set up service which the shop owner takes note of her order. Once the order placed and paid for, the shop owner assures the girls that said item will be delivered to the apartment in a few hours and will be ready to use at the latest later in the late afternoon. Both girls have no problem with the arrangement and exits the shop with a smile, neither sees that Ryuuji had stayed behind for a short while to put his own order of the machine before exiting the shop and continues following them.<br/><br/>With their main objective done and time to spare, Melisa and Alessa starts browsing through the shops available. Melisa suppresses her giggles as she looks at how Alessa gape at the sight of the extensive anime/manga goods. Alessa explains to her that even the biggest anime shop she knows of in US pales in comparison to what she is seeing, there are simply mind blowing as most of the merchandises never even been heard of much less see. Without further ado, both girl starts on a shopping spree of anime goods, from figurines, manga, games, soundtracks even costumes of several anime characters.<br/><br/>It was a few hours later that both girl finally feels the need to rest as they makes their way to a traditional Japanese restaurant, modeled after a certain game down to the interior and menu selections, including the ad for the legendary mega beef bowl challenge. The restaurant is bustling but neither girl have trouble getting a seat while Ryuuji takes a lone seat a few tables from them. When Alessa asks Melisa about the beef bowl challenge, she explains to the girl, "The challenge is quite straight forward, eat a massive bowl of beef rice dish. If the challenger manage to finish it, the meal will be on the house. However, if they fail, they will have to pay 3000 Yen, which is 10 times the price of the normal beef bowl." She paused for a minutes before continuing, "The challenge is quite popular and many people has tried the challenge for years but as far as I can tell, noone manage to finish the whole thing except for a rumored mysterious girl but I'm pretty sure it is just a rumor. I really don't recommend you trying though if you value your health or figure." What Melisa didn't tell Alessa though, is that she knows that the said rumor wasn't a rumor at all but real. She should, really since it is herself, not that she will ever tell anyone that information.<br/><br/>After a quick lunch, both girls are ready to pay... that was when the trouble appears. Melisa is asking for the waiter for the bill which prove to be a fatal mistake when the waiter, a young girl probably not much older than she is approaches the and gasps. The girl's next sentence immediately set the avalanche: "You are.... Artemis... Melisa-san...?" the sentence might not be said louder than normal but the effect is immediate nonetheless. It starts from the man sitting on the table next to her who takes a glance at her... then shouts, "NO WAY!! Mel-chan!! The real one!!" Melisa cursed under her breath as she turns to Alessa, "We need to get out of here... NOW!!"<br/><br/>Unfortunately, even her warning comes too late as the man's shout has literally turn everyone in the dinner's attention to her and for a second, it is as if a complete silence comes as if to tell the calm before the storm. Melisa looks around her feeling incredibly uncomfortable as she slowly tries to walk out of the restaurant all the while thinking, 'Please... please....' she knows what is coming and her only hope is that she can manage to get a head start to run away from it.... and then it comes. The man who shouted had reached into his bag and Melisa knows she has to run but she knows she couldn't because Alessa in her hover chair will not be able to follow her fast enough to get away. Using the precious seconds left she has, Melisa reaches to Alessa's ears and whispers, "Go back to the car, I'll meet you there."<br/><br/>As soon as she said it, Melisa immediately bolts from her position and runs like possessed toward the door. Just as soon as she starts running, the people inside the restaurant stands up and gave chase to her which just makes the blonde become even more panic. As she weaves through the crowd, she knows won't last long in a goose chase. Instead, she slips into the alley between two shops and hides there as she hopes that the mob will pass her. Based on her experience though, she knows that she won't be able to lose them completely, best she can do is just to stall for time. The mobs who had seen her will spread the word and from there it will just be a short time before nearly everyone in Akihabara will be looking for her and once it get to that point, the chance of her getting out of the district in the next few hours is miniscule at best. She leans against the wall of the alley as she sighs and thinks to herself, 'At least Silverstone-san will be with Kurokaze-san, she will be safe away from this riot....' She then turns to look toward the street and sees that several people passes the alley by, some of them are on the phone. Just in case they start looking through the alley, she decides to move deeper into the alley.
