Summary: Shinigamis' have a "Claiming Season". To the dismay of everyone...this year's season is nothing but the most unusual one they ever had.

"This is the main tent~ Why don't you go inside to have a feel of what it's like being on stage?" Joker suggested.
"Are you sure it's okay?" Alan asked hesitantly.
"I was the one who suggested it, wasn't I?" Joker asked with a wink.
"Then...I-I suppose it wouldn't hurt," Alan said as he walked towards the middle of the large tent.
Standing up in the middle of the ring, the shinigami smiled as he looked around...
...and then he knew nothing more.

Alan slowly opened his eyes and groaned softly, "W-where am I?" he asked as he looked around.
Remembering what happened before he went unconscious, his eyes widened and he immediately sat up and surveyed the area.
It was a bedroom...a very lavish one at that. Slowly moving towards the edge he was on, Alan started to get more and more nervous.
"Eric..." he whimpered.
Just before his feet touched the ground, the door opened.
"Hello my little doll..."

Eric landed on one of the rooftops in town, gritting his teeth as he scanned the area. "Come on Alan...where are you?" he muttered under his breath.
Straightening up and looking at the streets, he frowned. "Damn it...looks like I have no choice..." he said before looking upward and outstretching his hand.
A few seconds later, a eagle landed on his arm. "Take this to dispatch...tell them it's ASAP," he told the animal which responded by nipping his finger before flying away.
"Alan...I'll find you, I swear.."
