The Courtyard (click

**The
courtyard is a rectangular-shaped area based on the first floor and
situated inside Headquarters itself. It has a grassy area, a paved
area, and a small pond. A small staircase in the background connects
the courtyard to the third floor. Aldonza is stretched out on a lawn
chair next to the pond, staring at the stars in the sky through the
courtyard's glass ceiling. A patio table, a link cable, and a "Game
Boy Advanced" sit next to her**
**stretches** I love being in here. This is where I go to
relax and get away from everyone. It's air-conditioned, and only a
few go in here when they feel like it, since they're usually out and about
throughout Little Tokyo, etc. The only annoying thing about all

you first entered.

More on
the way, ok? In the meantime, I'll have Ambush Cat's Umbreon, Swift,
knock you back to the third floor entrance. He's a little annoying
at times, but he has his moments.
