It's been about three weeks since Sae arrived at Zawame City, and since then she's been building a reputation for herself. Standing alone on the stages was apparently a bold move, and it helped boost her popularity from a little bit. She was now ranked #7 among the dance crews, and she celebrated it by going to the fruit bar in town. She was currently enjoying a nice citrus cup...

Aiko was annoyed. She'd been taken off the story she'd been working for weeks, about an Yggdrasil official covering up several crimes, and instead assigned to some crime at a bondage club. She was friends with the majority of the staff, so she was able to get the info in about five minutes, but still; that story was her baby. She'd been working it for weeks, then just kicked off. Just like that.
She walked into the bar, still in her work attire, and ordered a drink, not noticing Sae.

Sae looked up as Aiko walked in, and boy, did she look pissed. Taking her cup, she walked over to her roommate. "Something bad happened, didn't it?"

Aiko turned to see it was Sae. "Well, the powers-that-be decided to kick me off of my story. They thought I was better suited to finding out that one of the people who went to the local fetish club had a latex allergy, and right when I was this close to making a breakthrough." She put her thumb and forefinger really close together.

"Yikes... I was looking forward to that story, too!" she said, sighing as she sat down next to her. She looked around and saw a shady-looking guy at another table. "...hey, Aiko? Who's that guy?"

Aiko looked, and her eyes narrowed. "Lock Dealer..." She practically growled. "So they're setting up here?"

"Lock Dealer?" she asked, as a man walked up towards the Dealer. He looked like he was from one of the dance teams...

"They deal in objects called Lockseeds. The dance teams use them to resolve their petty conflicts." Aiko said. "People have been killed for and by them."

"Killed? For these Lockseed things? Sounds a little extreme... though how are they even used to resolve conflicts?" she asked as she saw the dealer take one out. "I mean... they look like padlocks, really."

Aiko pulled out her phone, pulling up footage of a Invess Battle between Team Gaim and another team, showing Sae.

"Wait, are those monsters they're summoning?! Also, what the hell's up with the zippers?!"

"The zippers are just oddities. Yes, those are monsters. When they break out, it results in those deaths I told you about."

"Huh... That's odd..." she said, before seeing the man walk off, holding a strange-looking device in his hand. It didn't look like a Lockseed...
"Aiko, look. That man... he's not holding a Lockseed..."

Aiko's head perked up, her eyes narrowing. "Something new..." She stowed her phone and pulled out a camera. "A development with the Lockseeds..." She got up, intent on following him.

Sae got up and followed Aiko... but not before leaving the cost for the cup out on the table. She just wouldn't leave without paying.
