Azura

The night was settling in, and darkness engulfed the entire city. City lights and street lamps lit Novarius up, and the view from the window was not something you see everyday. "Maybe I should park my car into the garage just in case.." She thought about her car. Hikari was worried that she would lose her stuff she packed before leaving her house in the trunk. She placed the key on the desk and looked down her window. "I could just jump down from here, but then again, I wouldn't want the others to worry if I don't respond.." Hikari sighed and wondered why she just couldn't act normally and take the lift like an ordinary human being. Just because she has the power to land safely doesn't mean she should do it. She got out of her room and said "I'll be right back. I gotta go park my car in the apartment's garage and grab something from the trunk." Hikari remembered that she didn't have the key to the front door so she asked "Hey Misha, would you happen to have an extra key?"

Hikari took the key from Sayaa's hand and made it hover on the top of her hand before grabbing it and placing it in her right pocket. "It's been such a long day.. All I want to do is take a shower and rest for a bit.." She said with a yawn before heading towards one of the three bedrooms which all had their personal bathrooms. "I'll be taking this room, if you guys don't mind." Hikari said as she closed and locked the door behind her.

Hikari giggled at Misha's awful yet funny joke. "Someone here must know about what the key we found unlo-" She realized that the key wasn't with anyone in the room, and then she recalled that Zeke was carrying it. "Wait, where's Zeke? He has the key.." Hikari sighed in frustration. "Lily. Can you access the city cameras from here and execute a command to locate where Zeke is through facial recognition?"

Sonata headed towards the lift, and as she approached, it opened up ahead of her. Hikari looked at her and walked towards the door, which was open since she didn't bother closing it. Sonata looked at both Hikari and Lily with curious eyes since Misha didn't look like any ordinary man. It didn't bother her too much since she isn't supposed to involve herself with matters that she had no part of to begin with. Sonata got into the lift, glided back down to the lobby and hopped back into her car as she drove off and back to her office which was just a few blocks away from the apartment where Hikari and the others were living. "Hey Misha and Sayaa!" She said, waving a hand at Misha who was sitting on the couch.

Sonata smiled embarrassingly and said "Oh my.. How could I forget about that!" Her face went slightly red as she took the money away from his hands. "Now that that's done, I'd best be leaving. Enjoy your stay!" She said with a smile before heading straight out of the apartment and towards the lift. ---------- "Livable? I don't quite get what you mean but I'll keep quiet about your Esper ability. I just hope you've disabled all the microphones and cameras on this lift." She said with caution and in a rather quiet voice, looking above her for cameras.

Sonata giggled and walked into the apartment. She walked over to the window in the living room and looked down. The view was amazing, and it has been quite some time since she's been here. "It's beautiful.." She commented. Sonata looked at Misha and said "I've got something to do so I'll be on my way. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call." ---------- Hikari entered the building from the front door and looked around. This building was truly something special. "I think it was floor 72." She thought out loud as she approached the lift, pressed the button and waited.

Sonata and Misha both got into the lift before the doors closed behind them. The lift shot up rather quickly, and the feeling of getting pulled down was rather subtle. It slowed down when it approached floor 72. Ding. The doors opened and ahead was the main door to the apartment. "Before I forget, here's three keys that unlock the main door. They're all the same but each one has a different color." Sonata told Misha as she handed them over. The keys were colored red, blue and green. ---------- "We're pretty close to it, it's just a block away from us. You should be able to sense it from here with your powers." Hikari said without any prior knowledge to how Lily's powers work. She pulled up behind Misha's car and looked around. "Seems like they're already here.." She commented before turning off the car engine and got out, closing the door behind her.

I wonder why I haven't heard of this game before.. I'll check it out later today since it looks pretty interesting!

Sonata smiled and said "Okay then, lets get going!" before heading towards the apartment. The doors were automatic, and security was tight. The main lobby was quite open, and people from floors one to ten could see everything. The middle was the cylinder with four elevators so people could get up and down easily without having to wait. Sonata pushed the button for the lift and waited. ---------- "Sure, I could give you a ride back home. Where do you live?" She asked Lily since she would like to have an idea on how far she was going to have to drive. "Is it anywhere near Novarius?" Hikari added to her previous question.

"Don't worry, you're safe with me. I'll keep you alive no matter what. In fact, if you could create a special type of grenade for me, that would be great. I'll give you an idea once we get to the apartment and we could go grab the materials needed for it." She suggested. They were just a few minutes away from the apartment.

"Ah yes, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sonata, nice to meet you." She noticed that Misha looked like he was hiding something behind his back but it didn't bother her too much so she didn't ask. "So, shall we get going?" Sonata asked, wondering if the girl that's sitting in the car will tag along with him.

She noticed that Mr. Zoloto called out for her, so she turned around and said "Y-Yes! I could show you around the house if you wanted to.." She said with slight confidence. She wasn't that good at talking to others, and she tends to avoid interaction with people she wasn't so sure of, but she has been trying to find someone to rent the apartment so she decided to open up a bit more.

"I've thought about it, and I'm keeping a close eye on everyone. In fact, I'm more capable than you think, so don't worry about it!" She said with a smile before starting up the car and headed straight out of the carpark and towards the apartment that Misha will be renting quite soon.

Hikari smiled back and said "I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Anyway, lets get moving." She unlocks the door of the car with her right hand after placing the bags on top of the trunk. Hikari opened the back of the car and tossed the stuff in before shutting it close and getting into the car. She checked her phone and noticed that she hasn't recieved any messages from the others. 'I wonder how Misha and the others are doing.' She thought.

"I happen to be nearby, so I'll be there in a few minutes. I'll call you once I arrive, Mr. Zoloto." She ended the call and hopped into her SL-Class Mercedes and drove her to the apartment. It was just around the corner, and before she knew it, she arrived. She parked her car at the side of the road and got out. She wasn't dressed for the occasion, so she was quite embarrassed, but she couldn't keep a customer waiting. "I hope I look fine.." She thought to herself. She was wearing a T-Shirt with shorts and a pair of glasses. ---------- Hikari headed towards the mall entrance as she watched Lily heading straight to one of the ATMs. "I wonder if there's anyone else who's like that. If stealing cash is as easy as Lily makes it look, then money is nothing but something you can freely take when needed.." She thought to herself before heading towards the superstore which had more than just food. She quickly searched through every section and took necessities such as food for today's meal, the equipment needed to cook with and tons of drinks, ranging from water to beer and wine. "That should do it." She said as she looked at the time on her phone and noticed that it has already been 38 minutes. Hikari rushed to the cashier, paid for the items with the cash Misha gave her and headed straight to the parking lot with two large bags in both of her hands.

A young miss picked up the phone call seconds after her phone rang and said "Hello, how may I help you?" with a cheerful voice, wondering if it's someone who'll rent her apartment. ---------- Hikari took her phone out and grabbed a copy of the mall's map from her computer remotely and sent Lily a copy of the map that shows everything about the complex, including the ATMs that are scattered around. "I sent you something, Lily."

"I'm pretty sure there's many electronic stores here but it might not be what you're looking for." Hikari replied. "There should be a few ATMs around here as well, but don't let the cameras catch you doing anything suspicious. About the new apartment, it's filled with the latest technology since it was built a few months ago. They have a pretty tight security system but if you manage to install a backdoor virus, we could take advantage of it." She finished before turning off the engine of the car and got out. "Let's meet each other back here after 45 minutes. Call me if anything happens."

Hikari looked over at Lily and noticed that she was busy thinking about something, but she didn't bother asking her. Hikari approached the mall, driving up to the mall's parking lot. "Hey Lily, is there anything you'd like to buy? This mall is quite large." She asked as she carefully parked her car near the entrance to the mall.

Hikari noticed Lily knocking at the window and saying something outside before getting in. She's got a brief idea on what she said and so she decided head straight towards the mall that was just a few minutes away. Hikari drove nice and steadily towards her destination.

Hikari quickly replied Misha. "You could always call him by the number provided on the page and meet up with him in person so you can pay him with cash." She suggested to him before she unlocked her car and got in. Hikari revved up her car and relaxed in the comfort of the air conditioning as she sat back and waited.

"Well, lets get going. If anyone needs a ride, I've got an extra seat. I'll be heading to a mall nearby to grab some supplies and food so whoever comes with me will be accompanying me." Hikari said with a smile before she turned around and headed out of the building, taking out her phone and sending Misha a text. "You can pay the person who is renting their apartment directly if you have a credit card and they'll send you a 12-digit code that'll unlock the door if I'm correct. The building is relatively new and it has all the latest technology, and since we've got a rather skilled tech esper, that should be a plus for us if she manages to hack into their system." She sent it privately to Misha only. Hikari took out her keys and stood beside her car, waiting to see if anyone would follow her or if she'll go alone. 'I don't mind shopping alone, but it would be nice to have someone around.' She thought as she stood idly beside her car and waiting for Misha's reply.

Hikari was somewhat listening to Misha and his life story but was distracted by an apartment in particular that was available for purchase or rent. It's on the 72th floor and had an amazing overview of the entire city. "Hey, Misha. How about this apartment? It looks amazing!" She said as she turned her phone around and showed him. "What do you think?" Hikari asked him in particular since he was the one who was paying for it. The price tag was a hefty $6500. (OOC: It's similar to USD, if you're wondering what currency we're using in this world and how much each dollar is worth.)
