[ While Ann may not be aware of what month it is, there's no time like the present for a snow day. And there's also no better place for it than Mount Silver itself. She's all bundled up for the occasion, at least; and the hike itself isn't that difficult either. Mostly, she just wants snow time because it's been a hot minute.

There's plenty of things she wants to do, of course; whether she's alone or not. Sadly, at home, before she'd met Ren and the others, if her one and only friend had been busy, she'd often been stuck doing things on her own, so, she's perfectly content to walk the mountain on her own, taking in the scenery. But she's also very happy to sidle up to whomever the first soul is that she sees, too.

If that's you, get ready to get dragged into doing stupid things, probably!

She can also be found doing other things, of course, like making a snow man. Unfortunately, hers is looking... a little rough. Help a girl out, maybe? ]

[ How long's it been since she's had a beach trip? Ann's not entirely sure. Yes, Hawaii had been a thing, and they'd taken a day trip to the beach at home at one point to welcome Futaba into their merry little band of thieves and to help her feel more wanted and comfortable among them. Of course, Takoba Beach is definitely not the warm, blue stretch of clear water that Hawaii's beaches have to offer, not in the slightest. But a beach is a beach, and Ann's going to take what she can get.

It's why she's cleared enough trash to at least be able to settle down semi comfortably, stretching herself out to 'sun' herself in the sun that isn't there, but if she pretends it exists, then it exists in her head and really, that's all that matters, right? Besides, since this place has decided to be generous and gift her a few things, it's also a chance to use her bikini. So, here she lays, a pair of red sunglasses over her eyes, just lounging and relaxing to the sound of waves crashing against copious amounts of trash.

It's probably a good thing that there isn't sun, because she may or may not be falling asleep... ]

[ A great Wrong™ has been done to Ann Takamaki, via one Seto Kaiba. A wrong in the form of a race that had clearly been in the bag, and a winged giraffe that had been lobbed in her direction towards the end via a Pokeball that she'd literally slammed into, thus forcing her to lose this most auspicious race. She's not even mad, because looking back on it, yes, it was hilarious, and in the big scheme of things, despite losing the race, she's pretty sure that she came out the winner at the end of the day, thanks to a certain bet.

Either way, she's been promised a rematch at some point, and she wants to be fully prepared. And with the appearance of gym equipment recently, along with the presence of a booming thunderstorm outside, what better time to get in a little exercise and training? Ann can be found running almost non stop at the fastest speed that she can get it to go, and when she's not on the treadmill trying to hit mach speed, she's lifting weights. Because at the end of the day, she refuses to lose this rematch, giraffes or not. ]

Whew... [ She laughs and uses the back of her right hand to wipe at her forehead. ] I'm really glad we have this place! Working out outside is great, but having a place to really focus is even better, don't you think?

[ Listen. After the last few... months? Whatever -- after the last few whatevers, Ann thinks she deserves cake, despite all of the work she's putting into her training ~~to beat one Seto Kaiba~~ to better herself; at least she's been blessed with the ability to eat and eat and eat and never gain an ounce of fat, something she considers both a gift and a curse, and something she's really learned the hard way not to talk about, at least a home, lest she make more jealous enemies in the modeling world.

She hums, inspecting each and every cake that lines the walls as if they were diamonds to be accessed. ]

...If I could eat every single one, I would. But that's probably too much. [ You. She's talking to you. ] ....Is it too much, though?

[ So, it's been a while since she and the other girls have heard anything from Akechi or Ren, and despite their best efforts to look for them, there's not a trace of either young man to be found. Their things are still in their apartment, at least -- Ann knows, because they'd broken in to make sure that the dynamic duo weren't holing up for some reason (something Ann was a little hesitant to do for REASONS), but alas, they were not there.

Ren Amamiya and Goro Akechi are gone, and she's not entirely sure how she feels about this, other than a horrible, profound sadness.

It's why Ann sits in front of their apartment right now, knees drawn tightly to her chest; she could sit IN the apartment, of course, but something doesn't seem right. She's closed and locked the door again for now until they figure out what to do, but she's drawn back here because she doesn't know what else to do.

She's mourning. ]

[ At this point, it's inevitable. Ren and Akechi are gone -- she's searched high and low, and she knows that the other girls probably have at this point, too. It's why she's asked them to meet her here, at the cafe, for a meeting. The search isn't quite over, three sets of eyes are far better than being separated, maybe, but Ann's coming to accept the reality of their situation.

It's strange to be seated here at the usual booth, without Ren's smiling face behind the bar, or Akechi sitting at one of the stools. The coffee and tea she's made is a cheap imitation of what Ren's capable of, but it's something for them to sip on, at least, while they discuss how to proceed with... whatever comes next. ]

Hey... thanks for coming, you guys. I wish... it were for far better circumstances, though.

[ Ann runs a finger around the cup of her obscenely watered down iced coffee, staring down into the liquid for a few moments before she finally looks up at the two girls. ]

So, it's just the three of us right now. I know we're not at home, but... we're still a team, and I think that's what Ren would want for us to remember, too.

[ Leaning back in her seat, she crosses her left leg over her right and folds her hands in her lap finally. ]

I've looked everywhere and I haven't found any trace of either of them. We could go out as a group, if you guys want, and try again... but honestly, at this point, I think... we need to start focusing on what we do now.

[ Without Ren and Akechi... which is such a strange, foreign concept. ]
