A/N: OMG what's this? Another update?
Finally?
Yes.
Sorry if this sucks. I'm living on probably a little less that four hours sleep and my ability to type has decreased some.
Ayumi was packed and ready earlier than she had expected, meaning that she could catch the earlier train.
Shortly after, she was seated and awaiting her arrival in Tokyo. Train rides were very boring, in Ayumi's opinion and even worse when the child behind you wouldn't stop screaming.
After a few hours of nothing but the sound of the train tracks, people talking and children screaming, the train finally arrived at Tokyo station.
Ayumi checked her phone for the time and sighed. She had caught the train an hour earlier than was expected and, as a rather obvious consequence of that, had an hour left until her father would arrive to pick her up.
As she exited the station, she looked up and saw a big screen. The screen was displaying Angelic Layer, which gave Ayumi an idea.
She made her way to the nearest store. All of the windows had notices about an upcoming tournament in Angelic Layer, so she knew she'd found a store that sold the product.
She took a deep breath and stepped inside. It took a little while to find the Angelic Layer section of the store, but once she got there, she knew that it was something that you just couldn't miss.
She looked at the rows upon rows of Angelic Layer merchandise and tapped a finger to her cheek in confusion. "So…uh…where to start."
At that precise point in time, a man in a white lab coat snuck up behind her. "So you're looking to play Angelic Layer, huh?" The man said, startling Ayumi.
"Uh, yes." She replied.
"Well, then, in that case, you'll need this, and this, and this …Oh! And this!" The man in the white lab coat constantly took things down off the shelf and handed them to Ayumi. Just when she thought she couldn't hold anymore things, the man stopped and looked at her triumphantly. "Now to the registers!"
With her purse considerably lighter, Ayumi walked out the doors of the shopping centre. That guy in the lab coat sure could be pushy, but still, she owed him now. If he hadn't shown her what to get, she could have been in that store for hours.
She began to make her way to her father's house. It wasn't all that far from here, so Ayumi didn't have to worry too much. The heavy bags did make it feel like she had to walk forever though.
Her father was standing in the driveway when she walked up. "Ayumi?" He asked, a puzzled expression crossing his face. "I got here a little early." She huffed in reply, making her way to the front door.
Her father showed her the room she would be staying in, eyeing all the bags from the toy store. "Just conducting an experiment." She said with a smile. Her father chuckled and left her to it.
As soon as the door to her room was closed, Ayumi pulled everything she had just bought out of the bags and began to set it up.
An hour later Ayumi was sitting in the bathtub, translucent angel egg clutched in her hands. "Just gotta open it underwater, right?" Ayumi muttered as she gazed over at the instructions. Seeing that her assumption was correct, she submerged the egg in the water and opened it. The egg quickly filled up and Ayumi lifted the small mannequin like doll from it.
Soon after, Ayumi was sitting, pyjama clad, on her desk chair, pulling out the boxes of clothes and accessories that the strange man in the white lab-coat had instructed her to buy. She sifted through the clothes until she found something she liked. A dark tartan pleated skirt, a black t-shirt with a star on it and a multicoloured wig. She cropped the light purple back section so that it stuck out like a halo of spikes around the doll's head and styled the light blue fringe so that it sat over one closed eye. Soon after she slipped thigh high striped socks over the dolls legs to hide the knee joints, followed by knee high black boots that she had some difficulty getting on. Finally, she slipped on a small pair of fingerless gloves and a set of headphones with an aerial attached to one side. She figures that this would be the receiver for the thoughts that would make the doll move.
As per instructions, Ayumi put the doll into the port that connected to the special laptop. The screen changed and a box appeared with the word 'name' next to it. "Hmm, what to call you?" Ayumi said quietly, tapping a finger on her chin for a few moments before her fingers quickly clacked over the keys. "Amaya." Ayumi repeated the name she had entered into the box before clicking the enter button. The screen changed again with the type of settings she wanted for her Angel. "Hmm, a balanced type I think." Ayumi said, adjusting the sliders to suit her requirements. "A bit on the lighter side…and a bit on the faster side, but a general balance should be good." She again clicked the button that allowed her to proceed. The port that Amaya was being held in suddenly glowed and transformed the Angel. Ayumi watched in surprise as its eyes opened to reveal stunning purple irises. "Awesome" She muttered, laying the doll down on a cushion beside her own pillow. Ayumi then climbed into bed herself. She would take her Angel out on a test run tomorrow.
