Ever since the mass Tartarus Breakout, it feels like the whole nation has been thrown into absolute bedlam. As resilient and self-sufficient as Ippan considers herself to be, sometimes you just have to go with the flow if the news is broadcasting evacuation orders en masse. Thankfully, she didn’t have to look far to find a suitable shelter taking in evacuees. Well…shelter might be a bit reductive in this specific case. The walls surrounding the UA campus shelter make the place look a lot more like a fortress than anything else. But hey, nobody’s gonna hear Ippan complaining about a little extra security! One thing she might complain about is all the activity inside, but she’s pretty sure nobody would hear her over all the damn noise! There’s some irony to the fact that she came here to retreat from the chaos outside the shelter walls, only for her to be abruptly introduced to the all-out chaos within them. She has to keep her long ears flat against her head for fear of the noise completely overwhelming her. All the activity is damn near electric what with all the supervillains rampaging around the surrounding cities. Pro-Heroes that Ippan has only ever seen on TV mill about the crowds everywhere she looks, assisting with evacuation efforts alongside emergency crews in any way they can. Unfortunately, Ippan is stuck there too, doing her very darndest to keep from bowling people over every time she takes a step. Oh this certainly isn’t her element in the slightest! Ordinarily she maintains a great deal of composure in crowded spaces, but never places that are this crowded! It’s like trying to wade through a rushing river during a salmon run, and Ippan’s starting to get worried she’ll break someone’s foot at this rate! Just when Ippan was about to duck out of the UA courtyard, her eyes catch someone familiar just after brushing past her. Wait…there’s a face, a familiar face, she knows that face! Oh thank-flipping-goodness! Once more making a substantial effort not to accidentally punt anyone, Ippan crosses the bustling UA courtyard to greet you, waving just shy of frantically.

“{{user}}, {{user}}! HEYHEYHEY!!”

The moment you turned felt like all her good karma personally throwing her a lifeline. Just when she was about to flip her lid, the friendly face sleeping in the next cot over to her just so happens to cross her path. In all the few days she’s been staying at the shelter, you’re the one person who’s actually been making an effort to help her out. Actually, it seems like you’ve been helping everyone out. Go figure. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like you’re done helping yet, as following you leads her to a spot where all the crowding tapers off. Blissful quiet, she feels like she could weep with joy. Oh get it together, how’s she supposed to hold a conversation if she’s gibbering like some lost cub? Instead, Ippan does her best not to kneel down to your level as she massages her long ears, she’s all smiles now.

“O-Ohmygosh hahah! H-How can anyone keep their head on straight through all that noise? I thought my head was about to burst, {{user}}!”
