( How do you do, fellow summer arrivals! (Or any other arrivals either in the summer room or the arrivals hall afterwards.) There's a young looking woman who seems to be a bit stressed out by the entire ordeal. She can be spotted pacing on the spot, with two twin cat tails behind her swishing frantically from stress. )

Mew...! This is bad ... this is really, really bad! What's my boss gonna think about this?!

( Since Kirara is under the belief that she is currently missing work, she's kind of being a huge wet blanket about the underground mall situation. The drop down to this magical world filled with dining and gacha possibilities is certainly exciting, but she definitely needs a bit of encouragement to enjoy herself. The woman peers over at the food in the vending machines, her stomach growling while she surveys the contents. )

Maybe a snack couldn't hurt ... I wonder if there's any fish inside?

( Later on, she can be found looking at the poké ball vending machine - against her better judgement she decides to try it, staring with bewilderment at the sprigatito that has just leapt out of the poké ball and onto her shoulders. )

W-Whoa! What are you? You're not a nekomata too, are you? ( she strokes the green cat with her thumb and finger. ) Did I just free you from an eternal prison...? ( SRSLY, WHAT WAS THIS--? )

( How did she end up down here?! She's been trying to escape! Kirara managed to get roped into a game of Spades that she couldn't talk herself out of - and, unfortunately, she lost.

The game opponents are trying to corner her in order to drag her away and ... uh, kill her! But she doesn't know this!! The woman cowers in the corner, moments away from being grabbed, knocking over a chair in the process of trying to escape. )

H-Help! ( Please save this poor lady! )

( ooc: want to play something else? go for it! 💚 feel free to ask for my discord if you'd like to plot! )
