Dancing and Searching for a Team [OPEN]

James was wasting time in Drupers, drinking a milkshake filled with a dozen different berries. Usually he didn't drink them, but the ones at this place were fantastic, and the bars weren't open yet.

James kept to himself, drinking his milkshake and playing with one of his nonexplosive dice. He had to keep from audibly commenting on the shake with almost every sip, it was that good.

"It is" he said without problem. He'd drilled the Japanese language into his head years ago, just in case.

James looked at her in the corner of his eye and said nothing. Her reactions werent exactly wrong, but they did remind him of an anime character.

At that time Rat entered the Drupers, apparently not in a good mood. He took a seat not far from where Harper and Saya was.

"Bando, give me some Prune juice." he demanded. The bartender came and did so, with Rat immediately paying.

Rat barely sipped his drink however. Rather he took out his Prune Energy Lockseed and stared blankly at it. He thought to himself, 'Kota's lost his powers as an Armored Rider. If any other teams ever found out about our disadvantages, Team Tango's done...'

Rat well remembered the encounter with the bully team that had multiple Sengoku Drivers on them. At this point, every team probably had such power and perhaps even mastered it. On the other hand, Team Tango was probably the most recent team to obtain the power as Armored Riders. He suspected the Genesis Driver he had was of new-gen technology, but even that won't be enough to save them from a future encounter against experienced Sengoku Driver riders...

...It was always Kota who had the manpower to fight back the bullies. Without him, they would plummet down rankings and Rat didn't want to lose their position and status. The stress was increasingly making him angry and upset...

Rat was still fiddling with his Energy Lockseed in uncertainty, but a girl sitting next to him did not escape his notice. Mildly confused, he turned to her and asked. "What?"
