Allen Walker sighed as he lazily ran one of Crown Clown's talons across the stone wall next to him, gouging a small line into the usually sturdy material. As was the norm after not receiving a mission in some time, boredom had set in, putting the exorcist in an awkward position.

Should he attempt to swipe Kanda's Mugen?

Nah, too risky, and besides, he knew better than to get on the cold-hearted swordsman's nerves.

Or maybe he could head over to the cafeteria to get a small snack. (Small meaning about four helpings of a little of everything off the menu.)

Allen groaned as he stood up, stretching his back to work out any kinks that may have gotten in place. "Might as well go eat…" he muttered, deactivating his Innocence for the time being. "It'll kill some time, and maybe if I'm lucky, Jerry will have made some cake for desert!"

But when he got into the cafeteria, Jerry was nowhere in sight, as well as any other members of the Black Order. Hanging his head, Allen walked away, his stomach growling in protest. "Now I'm going to starve…" he said, clutching his churning belly.

Meanwhile, in the Science Department, Reever Wenham was snoring away with his head atop of a pile of paperwork, completely ignoring the computer screen he was supposed to be watching. Shifting in his sleep, the man attempted to find a more comfortable position on his paper pillow, but only succeeded in slipping off and banging his head on the desk. Cursing profusely, he rubbed his eyes to clear them and look a passing glance at the computer screen, scanning it for any new Innocence activity. "I really need a break…" Reever moaned, reorganizing the fallen paperwork that had slipped to the floor.

As he bent down to retrieve the papers, the computer began to emit a loud beeping noise, startling the Science worker. Sitting up abruptly, Reever stared at the screen in shock, hardly believing what he was seeing. "A new Innocence?!" he exclaimed, rapidly typing away on the keyboard in haste, all notions of sleep forgotten. "Now let's see…. Where is it located?"

After processing the new command, the computer let out a small blip as it came up with an answer. His mouth falling open, Reever quickly printed out the results and ran for Komui's office, forgetting to turn off the monitor, the results still blaringly present on it:
