Araki, having mostly mentally tuned out the lecture, managed to catch some of the words.

: Hold on, there was another unknown Mirage yesterday? Other than the girl in black?

Araki walked in with the other two.

: MMPH. From the half eaten sandwich in his hand, the others could figure the brave sacrifice of the bread had saved their eardrums from a surprise Araki greeting.

All Araki did was give Setsuna a thumbs up to the suggestion of collaborating before she was called away.

: Ah well. The doc's probably gonna talk to her anyways.

Then Abbie came around.

: Who, this? He pointed with his thumb at Seitaro. New hire hopefully. You saw 'em during the fight, right?

: Anyways, seems like everyone's accounted for. Maybe we should head somewhere else, instead of bein' in the way here.

Araki flexed an arm in victory.

: Boundless energy if ya do what ya like!

: But it wasn't just us. The whole biorhythm thing... you can do it too, am I right?

: No need to say it twice.

Araki quickly slipped to where the bickering was and used the highest, most ear-splitting tone he could muster.

: STOP CARIN' 'BOUT THE MONEY / DON'T YOU SEE THE PLACE GOT SMASHED / NOW GET OUT OF THE WAY

: OR I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS

: Enough concert for you? Learn when to fold already, there's people hurt here that need help and you're wastin' everybody's time. Unless you wanna join them and be on the news for being a prick.

Without waiting for a response, Araki turned away from them and walked back.

: That felt good. Hope someone was recording.

Araki scratched his head before answering.

: Dunno what you mean by "okay for you"...  Don't you just want to be? You took the audition, didn't you?

: I dunno what you think this is like, but we weren't that different that long ago. It's not like it was a hard choice between music and Mirager... Javi made it possible for us to be both.

Araki nodded, and before anyone could react-

: WOOOOOOOOO!

: Sorry, had to get it out of my system. Lotta things came close to goin' wrong.

Araki walked over to Tsubasa and clapped his shoulder.

: Ya finally done it, Miki. Welcome to the club! You got a Mirager name ready?

: As for the rest of you, Araki Hagane here, also known as Mirage Metal. Seems you got the Mirager part of the job down pat, now we just gotta hear your singin' chops.

Araki learns:
Smash for Lv.3
Faultline for Lv.5

Yggdrasil gains +5 Hit on both forms.
