The teeth of the hammer had reacted to their plight, but it wasn’t enough-! But instead of crushing pain there’s a barrier holding back the tons of soil. Himeno doesn’t even have to look to know who made it. She finally allows herself to relax and uses the hammer as a cane of sorts while she gets her scrambled mind back together. She has no interest in the gun. She already has this hammer. Information, however... “It doesn’t matter to me who gets your prize. Still, the magical girl has a point. Are you going to just be cryptic, or would you be <i>oh so kind</i> as to give us more info on your game.” Tired and sarcastic. Two moods that are dripping from her words.

Himeno just gives the man a glare. Yep, her instincts were right. White hair is always a warning sign of an asshole. &quot;We were asking for basic knowledge, not the forbidden mysteries of the universe. If you're going to be that mysterious about it at least tell us your name. I would give you one but it wouldn't be pleasant.&quot; That's her bit said. She leans forward on her improvised hammercane and shrugs at Akia. &quot;Your call. I just want to get this over with.&quot;

Well? Are you going to tell me or not? *She glares at Cent before turning her attention to Sumire* And you are?

*She steps back in surprise as someone runs into her. She whirls around and points at Cent* Who are you?

*She nods, satisfied with that answer* I'm Himeno Akatsuki. Do either of you know where we are?

I might as well come along, then. *She sighs and gets ready to follow Sumire*

*A red-haired girl shakes her head as she sits up* Where am I...? *She looks around, on guard for any danger* Anyone out there?

*Himeno simply follows. It's not as if there's many other options*

Then find something better. I have no time for any of this. *She waves her arm at the mess*

*Himeno's thoughts of setting the &quot;Junes employee&quot; on fire are interrupted by Cent* It seems he found something. Let's follow him.
