It was safe to say moving back home was a little bit of a hassle. Normally, she didn’t have much to worry about, but coming back home from schooling after some time spent away. Apparently the Wakusei portals that she used to go from place to place had been a little more of a troubling issue than she first let on to be. That, and she didn’t have several extra movers to help her with the move either, so her summoning abilities seemed to be gone. It was to be expected, and nothing truly wrong with the concept of having to start over. She wasn’t much of a fighter to begin with, which is why when Black Rose was around, she was the “social butterfly” of the mafia... or at least that’s what was rumored in it. She felt like a rather different person between the schooling and home, but coming back wasn’t exactly like the same.
Two weeks had gone by since Sakura had come back to Rose Garden, moving into her home for the time being, getting situated back in Fiore, the doll headed off on her own to go somewhere a little more familiar to her. Her choice was the Silver Moon Inn, a place that quite frankly she was unsure if was even running without the guilds funds helping to keep it afloat, but it was worth a try. The small, light frame from the girl didn’t seem all too different between going through place-to-place until she had managed to arrive at the inn. Dust plastered all along the front windows while the rest of them were boarded up. A single closed sign hung in the front right window and yet, despite that, Sakura reached up to grab the handle. Turning it, the door surprisingly opened and with a light peek over each shoulder, she snuck inside and shut the door quietly. When she turned around, the place looked like it packed up for one night, then was left abandoned. Chairs upside and seated on the chairs, the drinks caked in dust and cobwebs.
The doll approached the bar counter, headed to the seat to which she normally always would sit in and began to climb up as best she could. The familiar feeling was nostalgic and as much as she did enjoy it, there wasn’t much of a feeling of joy in knowing this old bar was closed. Turning in the stool, she leaned an arm up to rest on the bar when she heard the sound of paper. A peculiar place to leave any, she grabbed it and pulled it off to see that it was a letter addressed to her. The handwriting was in a lovely and sophisticated form of font and before she knew it, she opened the letter and pulled out a card, looking over the wording on it:
“Sakura Kisagami, we are pleased to inform you that you have been invited for preliminary testing to assess your aptitude in a special business venture. We have been following your career with a vested interest and believe you to be an excellent candidate to fill a vacancy within our organisation.
Our organisation is made up of various men, and woman with goals and skills very similar to your own, and as such we will it is only in our best interest to extend this opportunity out to you. If you are interested, please meet one of our associates at the Silver Moon Inn at 3:30pm. We hope to see you there.”
The doll just blinked. Was... this supposed to have been sent to her home and she just happened to be here early? Well... it made sense in some cases, so if that were the case she had about a couple hours and nothing really else to do. ”Hmm.. I wonder if the water still works...” Jumping off, she landed on the heels her feet were fitted into before wandering into the back, grabbing hold of a tea kettle and filling it, surprisingly enough before setting up the fire to boil. She had the time, may as well kick back on old habits.
