| "Go on! It'll be fun!" The call of a joyous tone rang out across the apartment. "Fun is subjective." A chill voice responded before the sound of opening and closing of doors was the only indication that the person left the room. Kasane once again locked the door leading out of her home. She made sure this time to keep her phone and a journal and pen on her. She looked at the note again before calling a taxi to whisk her from the gated apartments to Akiba Amusement Park. She couldn't believe it, she was to apparently meet someone to help her socialize. Was she that much of an oddity that the Randalls thought it necessary to intervene? As Kasane took out her journal, she jotted down how conflicted she was about the whole thing. Nothing about this felt look a good idea, hell, she could count more on why it was bad, especially given what she had to do. Living a double life like that, it pained her as she was both satisfied and not so much with her life. After that embarrassing failure with Yukiyo, Kasane sent in both the tail and a report in a parcel. It was an odd thing to simply mail but Kasane wasn't fond of the idea of heading to Yokai headquarters after such a humiliating defeat. All she was given was this was a young man, he was a bit older than her and her parents wanted him to help her socialize.
It still struck her as horrendously odd this idea was even considered and accepted. But, as usual, Kasane had little say in the matter, in fact, she barely said anything. It was simply added to the collection of disbelief, a bottle building up until it decided to burst. Kasane looked once again at the notes detailing the events to come. The location was an abysmal choice, why would an amusement park be a place to learn to socialize, even more concerning was the idea of so many scents intermingling, how could she not gag at them? The better question was how could she not gag? There was a brief 'look for a well-dressed man; grey hair, grey eyes; fair skin.' note scribbled. It shouldn't be too hard, not many have colors remotely similar to either her or the description she read. It was a trip but it stopped abruptly at the sudden stop furrowed the teen's eyes. The gruff voice asked for ¥8020.27 Yen, or the equivalent of $63 USD. The adopted Randal nodded her head once before pulling a wallet out of her lower right overdress pocket. How she enjoyed having pockets, more convenient than a bag even if it limited how much she could carry.
Once the man was paid, Kasane left the vehicle before moving out of the way. Akiba amusement park. To say she was unamused was an understatement, still, the girl got herself a ticket in and eyes started peering, looking through to see if she caught something. With no luck near the entrance, Kasane searched even deeper in the amusement park. The girl looked at each passerby, covering her nose tightly in hopes of not letting out a dry heave. With each missed person she loathed the idea even more, till she spotted grey hair. Walking near the stranger, but still at a distance enough to keep breathing, she made a soft cant of her head. "Hello, I'm from the Randall family... I'm supposed to meet this Chiba individual, does that family name ring a bell? I'm supposed to learn how to socialize from him."
