Ala Day


GIRLS

Imagine a beautiful, huge mansion with tons of trees surrounding it, and it's own gardens, hot tubs... etc... Like a little paradise in the middle of Japan, near Tokyo. This huge mansion used to be a small, yet very beautiful hotel... until one day the owner gave up (almost going bankrupt) and turned the hotel into a Girl's Dormitory.

So, this is where you come in. For whatever reason, you applied to enter this lovely dormitory to stay- away from your family or whatever life you came from. A few other girls have applied too, and you have been accepted into the dormitory with them. Now that you are in this dormitory, you still have to go to school and clean every so often and cook, but it is some what independant- like college life. Plus, the whole place is beautiful... and not to mention there is a hot springs. Getting along with the other girls is all which is new... since the other new girls are people you haven't met, but otherwise things are pretty normal.

That is until....


BOYS

For whatever reason, you suddenly find yourself in front of a huge mansion, which you think is a hotel. You and a small group of guys, applied to be residents at a hotel for a while until you can get your own job and perhaps rent an individual small apartment. One of the guys (they are your friends or aquaintances) says his Grandmother owns the hotel anyway, sothey should be able to stay there for a while. So... you enter the hotel, or what you think is a hotel, and no one seems to be inside.

You and the guys search for your grandmother... until suddenly a shriek is heard.
One of the guys found some thing.
But it wasn't your grandmother.





Naturaly, the mix up is the guy whose grandmother owns the 'hotel' left, and he wasn't told. So the once the guys settle everything down and explain what happened to the girls, they suddenly realize that they have no where to go. Naturally, afte rsome convincing... the girls decided that there was enough space to make the mansion split half-half, one half for the guys, one half for the girls. Of course... there are complications...

Because like all places, there are always complications!


This RPG will be a Drama/Romance/Mystery rpg... I will add some plot twists that will set this apart from an everyday-life RPG. Of course, you guys can help... (like perhaps add some strange history to your character that might make it interesting or mysterious which could be solved at this dorm.) And characters can travel different places of course... so have fun!
Oh, and this RPG is rated M for mature, just because there will be sexual suggested content, but nothing too extreme of course. There could be soem swear words too... lol.


LEt's start!!!


Name: Rainea Chas'limono (Everyone calls her 'Ray or Rain' for short.)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
School Year/Position: Senior in High School (last year)
Appearance: (See Attachment below.) She looks just like that attachment, except her clothing usually consists in a short, light-gray/blue school-girl skirt, with a light white tank top with occasionally her light blue zip-up hooded jacket over the tank top if it gets to be chilly. Her shoes are white and rimmed in a light blue, and she always wears a silver chained necklace around her neck with a small, unknown rock of some sort on the end. (of course, that is her favorite outfit and not the same outfit for her everyday.)
Personality: She's rather fun to be with and very sensible. She's pretty bold if people tick her off, but when it comes to regular day things she is some-what mildly mannered. She loves to have fun however, and isn't very shy of MOST people although things can change. She's very loyal and is level headed, probably a good listener for some one to run to.
History: She transfered from America to Japan, because her parents changed jobs and found that their 'base' of their job was better suited in Tokyo. This was a drastic change for her, and she wasn't settling in very well in the place where her parents had bought a home (which was not in a very high-populated town with many people her age.) So thus, she decided to leave and heard of this dorm, and since she wanted to go to school in a school with people her age, she thought it was perfect. She quickly grabbed her belongings, and went to the dormitory. (It's called the "Wai House" bye the way.) She got along with everyone pretty well in the dorm, but when these 'guys' came in, the shriek that was heard was her crying out, "PERVERT" when t he guy accidentally walked in on her when she was about to take a shower. ^^;
Favorite Possesions: She loves her scrapbook with pictures from America, but most of all she likes her music and the silver necklace around her neck.
Talent: Her #1 Talent is Singing. She's always excelled at singing with a huge array of vocal abilities... although she's too shy to sing in front of many people (she's trying to overcome that, because she wants to be able to join the school's choir in her last year of school.) Many people don't know she sings so well, but a few who might 'accidentally' hear her when she thinks no one is around could find out...
#2 Talent: Academics: she's pretty smart... and she's working hard so she can get into any school of her choice.
Relations: Not that I know of yet... I'll accept some however! ^^

"PERVERRRT!"
I screamed... as I charged out of the bathroom, and saw the guy run down the long hall of the Wai House. I had been in the showering room, after a long hot soak in the Hot Springs. I always sang in the shower... so I had sung away, becuase no one could hear me, when I turned off the showerhead and pulled the curtain away to get a towel. It was then my icy blue eyes widened and I froze for a second to see a guy's head looking through the door. It was then I screamed and quickly hopped out of the shower and grabbed the towel, wrapping it around my naked body and I kicked the door so it almost smashed his face as he pulled away from hearing me scream.
After securing the towel (which took less then a second) I opened the door and charged out.

"PERVERRT!"
I called, blushing madly as I ran down the hallway with my wet hair waving against my legs and dripping on the wooden floors.
"What?! Another one?!"
A voice rang out, as Mii-Mii appeared out of no where, with a rather amused look on her face. Her hair was wet too, for we all had gone in the Hot Springs... and I chose to take a shower afterwards.
"Yes! He went that way!" I shouted, as she grabbed a broom and smirked...
We had dealt with 'peeping toms' before in windows, but they didn't happen to have two in one month before... and this guy actually had the nerve to peek in the shower IN the house?!
" WHERE?! WHERE!?" Janice suddenly also joined, as she giggled slightly and then we went into the main living room. I blinked and gasped...
There were a group of guys!
The rest of us 'girls' appeared, some of us with 'cleaning weapons' in our hands as the guys gaped, and one of them was bright red.
"THAT'S HIM!"
I pointed, as the other guys were bewildered looking... and one guy seemed to snicker at the one who was red.
"What the- what are you doing in here?!"
Shaina asked, blinking slightly as the rest of us were wondering what the heck they were doing in our dormitory!
"Thi-this is a hotel, isn't it?"
One guy spoke, as I blinked and still feeling embarressed and rather enraged at being seen, I growled.
"A hotel?! This isn't a hotel... it's been a Girl's Dormitory for a year! Don't use the 'we thought it was a hotel excuse' like every other guy!"
Mii Mii nodded, " We hear that a lot."
" A GIRLS DORMITORY?!" One guy said, and I nodded.
"Yes, so GET OUT!"
"B-but..." one guy began...

***
Half an Hour Later
***

We were all sitting upon one of the large sitting pillows in the living room, as these boys sat on the floor with various bags they had brought along. We all had listened to their long winded story about hearing this was Maiku's grandmother's hotel, and that they had no idea it had turned into a dormitory. It WAS a good story... but I still was rather irked.
"Aww... we... we can't let them out on the street now, can we?"
Shaina asked, as Janice shrugged.
" Why can't we let them stay here a while?"

After a long winded debate... the conclusion came. If these guys really needed a place to stay, they could- as long as they paid the rent (which we said it was a bit higher then it actually was... *snicker snicker*) They also had to help with the chores we did, which included cooking..
"We aren't maides!" Mii-Mii had added.
So we split the Wai House in halves, guys on one side... and girls on the other....

And thus the 'new day' of the Wai House began..

(That happened at night, and sorta puts things together... you're posts can include what happened that night, before the guys came into the Wai house or during, and then continue into the next morning.)

***
Next Morning
***

I had woken up... last night I hadn't slept that well, the image of that guy's face still in my mind. Actually, now that I thought of it... we really never even knew their names. I had to find out...
"no matter... what they say... he still... was a peeker!"
I mumbled, throwing the blanket over my head, not wanting to get up. But soon the alarm went off again... and I knew it was inevitable. I slowly got up, yawning... and getting my mirror I sighed. Even though I didn't want to admit it, I didn't want those guys seeing me like usual..
So I quickly brushed my long hair so it was straight, and changed into a pair of jean shorts and a white tank top. It was rather warm out, and school didn't start until tomorrow.
Yawning again, I slipped on a pair of blue slippers and trudged downstairs to the kitchen, where I saw a few others had already began. A few guys were even there... and I forced a smile, as I saw some thing was cooking.
And it was burning.
"EEEEHHK! Watch it! You're BURNING it!"
I suddenly squealed, as one of the guys whirled around and realized the mistake he made by not paying attention...

"EEEEHHK! Watch it! You're BURNING it!"
I was busy setting up the table alongside a few girls; some went into the kitchen to put out what might be a fire. I would turn my head now and then to pick up the few strange looks from the other dorm members. Obviously, they haven't quite gotten over yesterday's incident. I would want to talk with whoever disturbed that one girl. It was somewhat unnerving for me. I mean, here I was to get away from my stressful parents, and now I've been thrown into a potentially more stressful situation. The only positive side, I reasoned, is that I might find a potential relationship. No one knew me here, and that's all the head start I needed.

I began placing down some plates to unload a bit. Then, I realized, that I did not know exactly how to set the table. I mean, unlike some of the people here, I wasn't accustomed to the Japanese form of ettiquete(Sp?), which was probably required for this dormitory. I knew it was only breakfast, but it would be a good idea to create a better impression than the one from last night.

"Um, can someone else set the table?" I called out, "I'll just put down the plates," I deftly pulled down my sleeve to look at an almost uncomprehensible smudge that was supposed to be the rent, which I conveniently scribbled on my arm for the following purposes, "and will someone remind me about what the rent is?"

It was a trick of mine, to see if the numbers were consistent. I don't like being cheated, and if I'm suspicious I like to find out as soon as possible. Not every girl would be in on the lie that was set up, and THAT is what I was hoping for.

Nameotashi "Shade" Urameshi
Gender:Male
Age:18
School Year/Position: 1st year Ronin
Appearance:He has long, thick, messy, black hair, with blue streaks. He has emerald green eyes, that shine whenever you look at them. He looks so innocent and gullible. His tan skin is exactly the right color. He wears a backwards baseball cap, with a fireball on it. He wears a long sleeved, dark blue shirt, with goldenrod streaks on the sleeves. He has blue jeans, that are slightly ripped near the ankles. He wears soap shoes, most of the time. He also has a gold necklace with an onix ston in the middle.
Personality: He's a loner, he tries to make friends, but he just can't! No matter what he's always the one left behind, always the one left in the dust. He's slightly perverted, but, he means well. In the words of Keitero, "Hey, I'm a healthy young man!" He flirts alot, which goes with his pervertedness, but he's really good at heart. He's a prankster, and loves to make people laugh. He's never mean, and will help anyone in need, even though most of the time people take advantage of this.
History: Shade had a good childhood, his father was rich, his mother was rich, and he had a big bright future. In a big, cosy, office, in a big, cozy, building. He had a future wife, though he didn't really love her, it was arranged. Both families were rich, so it seemed only natural Shade would marry her. But Shade didn't want to work in the family business of laywers. He didn't WANT to date someone he didn't love. And so, he and his parents got in an argument, along with his "girlfriend" They said he would never amount to anything and was throwing away his life. Shade huffed out, vowing never to come home. So far he hasn't, that was five years ago. He lived with his uncle, both of them estranged from the family, until recently, when his uncle earned his way back in. He said he only wanted to help Shade and that he, Shade, was a pain in the arse. And, that's how Shade comes to the big hotel thingy.
Favorite Possesions: He really likes his scetchbook. And his video camera, kind of an artist actually.
Talent: His best thing is...well..no that's not it...maybe....actually he doesn't have anything (if okay with you, Bulbie ^^
Relations: none

Sotashi-M-1st year Ronin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a great! I mean how lucky can a guy get? But with every good thing that happens in my life, several more bad things come along. I let out a sigh, I wouldn't get a girlfriend here, or a friend, it would just be a place, I would be settling, but not making any friends. I hate my life. I would stay out of everyone's way, watch them go and have fun, and I would always stay here, smiling saying stuff like, "Oh, you go on ahead." and "I'm fealing a bit sick." Not like they would care anyway. I got sick just thinking about it. All my life I've wondered if I would ever make any friends or get a REAL girlfriend. Now, as I stand, eighteen, without a life, I know, I WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I remembered the girls sitting at the table, I was just staring. "You idiot." I whispered to myself. I decided to pack my bags and leave, I don't know, maybe become a hermit. Oh yeah, while I was rambling, I forgot to tell you, I'M STUPID TOO! As I banged my hands against the bar (he's on this balcony type thingy O.o) I suddenly lost my balance and fell off. Getting stuck in this tree thing. "I AM SUCK A FRIGGIN IDIOT!" I shouted madly. My second day and already I hated myself, which was nothing new you see.

[EngiMatikul]

Name: Cong Kashi
Age: 14
Gender: Male
School: Second to Last year of High school (Junior)
Appearance: A steady, refined boy with Green hair, Glasses, and skinny body structure. He is only 4 feet tall and still has a childish feature about him. Despite this, he looks exactly like a miniature version of a cliched scientist, collarneck button shirt, lab coat, and everything.
Personality: Very factual based, but still retains a childish image and innocence. Despite his vast knowledge he is unaware of sexual insinuations and therefore does not understand the conflict between the boys and the girls. Perhaps the fact that he has not entered puberty explains this reason. For the prodigy that he is, he frequently makes calculation errors and this is part of the result that he is forced to live in Japan. He is an alchemist, yet most of his experiments go up in flames. Literally.
History: Despite his prodigal appearance, he is a frequent blunderer and makes calculation errors rather than misunderstanding the question. For this reason, he was exiled from his parents in China and sent to Japan to learn to live independently partly to see if Cong can learn from his mistakes and partly, they hope, that he will mature both physically and mentally. He is put into the Junior year of high school; however, due to his errors, his test scores are not all that great.
Favorite Possessions: He has a personalized computer built into the eyeglasses he wears, which SHOULD have made his calculations more accurate. (perhaps he thinks too fast and as a result makes inaccurate calculations) He has a whole chemistry lab for his room (don't ask how) and also has a small hyperactive finch as his pet. (Pets are very important in these types of genre!)
Talent #1: Makes Chemical compounds. If he does it right, he can make a cure to anything. That usually doesn't help though. However, explosives can be used for other purposes...
Talent #2: Exceptional Fact-based data. Though calculations may be erroneous, he certainly can get anyone's facts straight with the database mind of his.
Relations: Everyone thinks of him as too small and childish to really take him seriously. Pity.
Other: Male counterpart to Shinobu.

Methinks I am the closest person to a cook right now.
Cong
-----
"EEEEEEk! Watch it! You're BURNING it!!"
I turned around while beating some egg yolk to look at one of the older girls looking at me. (Then again, they're all older than me)

It was quite strange how the first couple of days in Tokyo was. First, it took me hours just to figure out the shortest route out of the airport, which after many calculation blunders and I found out was just the door in front of me that said "Exit". Second, it took me the rest of the afternoon to find the hotel after I exited the subway, which after making a whole round trip tour of Tokyo I found out was located right next to the subway station I had exited in. And thirdly, these Japanese women seem particularly unusual in their aggressiveness and sparsely-clothed apparrel when I arrived. At least now they seem to have calmed down and put on more clothes.
All the men and me got up early in the morning since many of us have chores we must do in order to occupy the house. The question of who can cook aroused, and I told them I had some skills in understanding the culinary arts since I was a chemist... and they immediately nominated me as the cook. So now, with Pecca, my finch, whirling around my head as he always does, I was trying to create something from what little I knew from father, who usually cooked dinner for me and my family at home. I wanted something simple, such as fried rice, since I didn't want to create a big mess out of the situation... however, I realized that they either had no rice or was completely out of it, so I substituted the rice with whatever form of grains and breads they had. Naturally, from the oxidation of the carbohydrates, the bread pieces created a burnt-toast sort of smell and some of the pieces had already blackened to carbon.
"Well," I told the yelling and scary lady while pouring in the yolk, "I wanted to make some fried rice but I didn't find any rice, so I figured since bread and rice are both forms of grain I figured the bread you had would make a fine substitute for the rice." I added in some water to make sure the bread wouldn't dehydrate.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!? YOU DON'T FRY BREAD LIKE IT'S FRIED RICE!!! NO ONE EVER DOES THAT!!!"
"They... They don't?"
"NO! THEY DON'T!!"
Tears began swelling up in my eyes.
"Hey," I heard another girl say before I started to cry, "This doesn't taste so bad. Kinda like burnt toast and scrambled eggs, actually."

[Bulbasaur4]

lol... you all are making RAine seem like some big meany... lol, but the girls know she really isn't. *wink wink*

I blinked... as one guy asked what the rent was, and the other was ready to cry, and then a loud noise came from up stairs.
My head began to hurt... as I quickly looked to the one guy and shrugged,
"The rent is posted right there." I pointed to the white piece of paper on the bulliten board, as he nodded and went to investigate it... and then his face shifted into a look of accusation.
"Hey! This rent is less expensive then what you girls told us last night!"
With that, Mii-Mii, who was already downstairs, began to laugh.
" You figured that out! Awww... and here I wanted to use the extra money to buy some new things!"
I smiled, as the guy shook his head.. " You mean you lied..."
Mii Mii shook her head, "We didn't lie, we fibbed. Besides, we weren't actually gonna make you guys pay that much. Do you honestly think a dorm's rent was as much as we told you last night?"
I nodded as I aided the others in putting out the slight fire which was burning in the kitchen.
" We are not that mean." I winked, as I saw the guy who looked like he was about to cry... I frowned slightly, feeling sort of bad for yelling like that....

"I-uh, I'm sorry." I managed to say quietly, as I bowed slightly as my long ribbon-like hair flowed over my shoulders.
" I didn't mean to upset you.. I guess... i'm still a little overheated last night about .. the shock."
I sighed, feeling horrible now... all the other guys must think I was a jerk for how I overreacted.
Frowning, I opened a cubboard and took out a glass and began to fill it up with water...
" I guess I'm just not used to suddenly seeing a guy peeking in the shower room, while I'm naked."
I said it quietly... still remembering it. I was very shy about anything like that to begin with... especially if it was ... well, with out my consent of some one actually seeing me like that. Withdrawing a breath, I sat down at the table..
" By the way, I don't even know your names.... My name is Rainea Chas'limono, but everyone calls me Raine."

[Thargor]

Name: Tsuuriki Haran

Gender: Male

Age: 18

School Year/Position: Senior in Highschool

Appearance: 6' 1" of medium build. He has a very expressive face, that can easily show his emotion if he so chooses, or remain eerily blank. He has red hair that goes down to his shoulders, tied in the back with several streaks of white coming down from his bangs. His eye color is grey, a color that almost shifts to clear white on a sunny day, and black on cloudy days. His clothes are comprised of an old torn black shirt, with white bandage wrappings visible underneath when he moves. He also has a pair of loose blue pants, wrapped on the ankles with more bandages, right above a pair of suspiscously expensive looking pair of black shoes.

Personality: Very carefree, he tends to act immature out of effort rather than nature. He likes to create friction among others just to get a rise out of them, and is very keen to the idea of a fight. He usually is the first to let something go, but when something hits him in the right way he becomes irrationally furious. Prone to not finishing what he has started, he has become somewhat distant from those around himself.

History: Born into a wealthy elitist family in Japan, his parents indulged young Tsuuriki for the first 13 years of his life. Whatever caught his fancy, he was allowed to pursue it until he got bored. Anything from painting to kendo, to racing his parents allowed, and encouraged. As a result, he became a dabbler, and would not have even gotten into high school if his grandfather did not live with his family. Under his grandfather, he gained some sense of responsibility training in several forms of martial arts, and getting constant tutoring for his dismal grades, which mostly came from the result that he never handed in any homework. Then, his parents died, and his grandfather came into possession of the family fortune. He attempted to be a good parent for Tsuuriki, but could not cure the sadness that lingered in the boy. For years, the boy barely cracked a smile, and became a serious little thing. Only through the efforts of his grandfather through his final years, was he able to teach Tsuuriki to loosen up somewhat, even if he had to force it. Then, on the day of his 18th birthday, his grandfather died, and he inherited his family's considerable fortune. Desperate to get out of his house, he has moved from his home in Hokkaido, to try to decide what he will do with himself...

Favorite Possesions: His father's family ring, and his grandfather's katana are his most prized possessions. What he holds of his mother is a picture that he keeps in his pocket at all times.

Talent: #1. Is martial arts. Throughout the years he has completed karate, kendo, and dabbled in several other forms in his haphazard manner. He is perfectly capable of defending himself, and is remarkably fit because of it.
#2. Is his extensive knowledge of the buisness world, and who to get into contact with. Because of his family's buisnesses, he knows many important people. If you need something fixed, or need to get into a place that doesn't allow minors, Tsuuriki knows who to call.

Relations: None.

Other: He is currently trying to switch to the new high school in the area, but the headmaster is avoiding him...

Tsuuriki- M- Senior
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I planted a big smile on my face as the girl, introduced herself. In all reality I had not really gotten up yet, it being part of the damned hours before the holy 12:00. Already my body was running on autopilot, a fact that got me in trouble more often than not. Still, it was nice to see somebody extend an olive branch.

"That's a very nice name Ra-ki-na. I'm glad to see some nice manners at this new home of mine." I chuckled slightly in my head, as my inner editor moaned for some reason. I arched an eyebrow, as I tried to figure out why some of people began to giggle. The girl's eyes narrowed.

"My name is Rainea..."

"Is that so?" I said, my face turning blank for a second, the meaning of this kicking in a few seconds later. My face immiediatly turned red, to match that of my hair for a second.

"Well, my name is Haran Tsuuriki, but all of you can call me Tsuuriki-san or chan. No sama, or I'll have to challenge you to a duel." Sniffing the air for a moment, I smelled the burnt toast. The smell served to waken me up more, and made me consider whether I had told the others I had taken cooking classes before...

Standing up, I bowed briefly to the rest of them, adjusting my black shirt slightly so my bandages wouldn't rub underneath. Reaching into a pocket, I withdrew my wallet, and lay down several notes on the table equaling half a million yen. I hadn't checked the actual rent, but that should be enough for this week.

"There's my rent money... If there is not enough, I can always provide more. Now if you will all excuse me, I think I forgot to mention to our friend in the kitchen that I have a few years of French cuisine lessons under my belt." Bowing once more, I hurried to the kitchen to salvage breakfast...

Valius Black
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Tsuuriki left, I began to take my stand.

"Well, if you are going to extend the olive branch," I said, "Then I am Valius Black: Part-time Actor, Part-time Copycat, Full-time Pain-in-the-***." I finished with a bow, "and in my defense, I've never been to a dorm or hotel so I would have no idea how high the rent would be. Out of necessity, can I be the chore slave if I'm not able to pay the rent. I desperately need to find a job."

"Then why did you come to our 'hotel' in the first place?" our gracious host asked, no sarcasm intended. I made a slight face, not wanting to be too open.

"Eh, let's just say...I'm having problems at home, and then I ran into Maiku, who told me of this 'hotel,' and I thought it was a hotel, so I figured I'd come along. Obviously, several of us guys thought it was a hotel, which lead to the incident last night with you and that guy, whoever he is. Not to rub it in, but:" I probably never should have done this, but I thought it was too funny to resist.

I grabbed a nearby towel, managed to pull my hair (no easy effort, I'll reveal later) below my face, cleared my throat, took a deep breath, and shrieked the very word we could all hear Rainea shriek that very night. The look on her face was all that it took to end my little impersonation and break out in a fit of laughs and cause my hair to pop back into its uncontrolled place. Everyone else was just as surprised, and horrified.

"Well, that wasn't exactly my best work to date, but I think that was pretty good," with a final howl of laughter, I dashed out of the kitchen, knowing I would probably be murdered at the end of this.

[Ali]

Name; Arisu [Pronounced 'Ah-re-su'] Lee
Gender;
Age; 18
School Year/Position; Senior in High School
Appearance; Tall, dark-haired, and well-endowed, Arisu seems to be a model from a magazine. She stands about 5'8", with bright green eyes and waist length black hair. Her bangs go down to about halfway down her back, and are held at the sides of her head with plain dark blue or silver hair clips. Her skin has a hint of a tan all over. She usually wears boys clothing, as she likes wearing loose clothes. Her usual attire is a pair of baggy dark blue pants with lots of pockets, and a tight light blue shirt. In the summertime she wears jean shortshorts, and in the winter, she wears a blue windbreaker with fuzzy lining to keep her warm.
Personality: Arisu likes to keep herself aloof from strangers. She doesn't speak much to them and she sometimes becomes irritable if they keep on trying to talk to her when it's obvious she doesn't want to talk to them, and she always seems to be frowning around them. With her friends, however, it's a completely different story. She smiles more often around them, laugh openly and can jabber on for hours. And then there are the times when she becomes open to everyone - friends, family, and strangers. Once on a bus, she suddenly spoke "I need to shave my legs." in front of everyone. Arisu got off quickly on the next stop. Sometimes she says random things, as you can see. She can be talking about the weather and suddenly say things like 'I'm on my period.' Arisu is pretty easy to get along with once you know her, if you put up with her violent phases. She easily gets angered, but keeps it in, so that she sometimes blows up for no reason at all.
History; Arisu was born from a pair of a young recently immigrated Chinese couple in California. They wanted to name their newly-born daughter 'Alice', but they couldn't pronounce the name correctly, and thus their newborn daughter was named 'Arisu'. Arisu and her mother came home to their tiny house in the ghetto, where Arisu's father went to college in hopes of getting a computer technology job. Shortly after that, the father purchased a lotto ticket... and won the several million dollar jackpot. Her father also managed to graduate from college with full honors when she was three, and then he managed to land a job at a famous computer company. He quickly jumped the promotion ladder, gaining a promotion nearly every year. Soon he was the CEO of the company. Arisu therefore, has lived in luxury all her life. Her parents dote on her, calling her their 'Good-luck baby'. She was raised in America nearly all her life, until she decided to attend a Japanese high school when she turned seventeen. She flew to Japan in June, and quickly mastered the language. She fluent Japanese, but she has a slight accent. Arisu loves video games and anime. But her favorite game of all time is Dance Dance Revolution.
Favorite Possesions; Her Dance Dance Revolution pad.
Talent; 1] Dancing; Arisu loves dancing. She's taken ballet, tango, mambo, breakdancing, you name it, she knows all the moves. Being not able to dance is like not being able to breathe for her. She's also the DDR champion of California, and can pull off backflips and the like on the pad.
2] Swordart; Recently, Arisu has been taking various swordfighting classes, which she shows to also be a natural at. She owns various swords in her rooms, like real sharp metal ones or a wooden practice stick. Enemies beware, Arisu is here!
Relations; Really good friends with Rainea.
Other; Arisu bought her dog, BonBon, with her, whom she loves. BonBon, however, is the devil in disguise. She'll chase anything, no matter how big it is, and try to rip it apart, whether it be human, or german shepherd. And BonBon is always the winner, for some reason. BonBon also snuggles with Arisu at night.

Arisu Lee/F/18/High School Senior
+++++++
Arisu sleepily stumbled downstairs, yawning widely, still in her nightclothes and holding BonBon with one arm. And Arisu's 'nightclothes' were basicly a grey tight tube top with spaghetti straps that showed her cleavege and a pair of really short shortshorts - when she bent over, you could see her panties. "'Morning all," she mumbled as she shuffled through the kitchen, not realizing that she was walking through a room full of boys in her skanky nightclothes. She gently deposited BonBon on the floor who decided to yap at the nearest male nearest to her. "Hi Rai," she yawned, waving at the other girl while opening the refrigirator and bent down to pick up a apple in one of the bottom bins, unknowingly showing off her panties. "You know, I had a really weird dream last night," she continued, munching on a apple. "A bunch of boys came in yesterday when we were in the hot springs and..." Arisu trailed off, noticing the men for the first time. She looked down at the outfit she was wearing and stared wide-eyed at the boys. She dropped her apple, clutched herself, and screamed.
"EEEEEEEEE!!!"

The girl who had just come down began throwing a fit and smacked the nearest guy next to her down the hallway before running back up the stairs to get herself changed. Meanwhile, the dog she had with her was growling at me ferociously until suddenly Pecca went flying accross the room and the dog went chasing after her, destroying nearly everything in her path.
It probably wasn't the best time, but I thought I should have introduced myself at that time.
"Hi um I'm... Cong Kashi..."
Suddenly a humongous explosion was heard from the kitchen along with a man's cry, "YAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH" *splash*
The rest of the group went to go check what was going on. Upon entering the kitchen, I instantly recognized the smell. The kitchen was in complete ruins; three sides of the wall was completely demolished with only the wall between the dining room and the kitchen still remaining in pieces, while everything else in there was black.
"What the--" Someone began.
"Wine," I replied. "The man... Tsuuriki must have been using wine while creating our breakfast. Apparently he must have knocked over a bottle onto the stove and... well..."
"Wow, you must really know about cooking," someone misinterpreted.
"Actually, I just retain sufficient knowledge in chemistry. Burning Alchohol is just not a good idea."
"Should we go save him?" Another girl asked.
"Nah," the one named Rainea snickered.
Suddenly, Pecca came in and landed on my head. She began chirping loudly.
"This is my pet finch, Pecca. She's a bit hyperactive and paranoid, so please be nice to her." At that point I heard barking. Taking a bowl of fried croutons with scrambled eggs, I rushed out through one of the broken down walls and told them, "I... have some unpacking I need to do... please excuse me... and if anyone would be kind enough to SAVE ME FROM THAT DOG?!?" As I ran back to my room.

Name: Konnetsu Maiku (retaining Japanese-ism)
Gender: Male
Age: 18
School Year/Position: trying to get into college (but failing miserably twice) (would that be 2nd year Ronin or something? *confused*)
Appearance: fairly tall, just over 6', with a slightly muscular build, short, dark brown hair, and green eyes; his "outfit" of choice usually consists of slightly baggy, faded blue jeans, either a T-shirt or a polo shirt underneath a sweatshirt, and slightly bulky white sneakers with a dark blue trim. He has thin rectangular glasses with a thin red frame, which he hates yet has to wear in order to see anything in focus.
Personality: He's the kind of guy who constantly tries for the best, but always seems to mess up horribly. He'd never do anything to intentionally hurt, embarrass, etc. anyone, although that's all he ever seems to be able to do. In other words, his heart is in the right place, but he can't act on it perfectly.
History: After failing to get into Tokyo U. twice, he couldn't face the shame of going back home, so he wandered to where he thought his grandmother's hotel was. After the scream of "PERVERT!" and Hikaru running from an angry Rainea, he realized that something wasn't right at this "hotel"...
Favorite Possesions: His notepad and his recorder, pretty much.
Talent: (Does making a fool of himself count? No?)
#1: He's a very good artist, very skilled with a pencil, good at drawing people
#2: He's surprisingly a good musician...just he never lets anyone else hear him. He has a small wooden recorder that he keeps hidden in his bag-o-stuff.
Relations: meh...
Other: fleh...

Maiku
~~~~~~~~
I woke up suddenly to the screams of, "EEEEHHK! Watch it! You're BURNING it!"

With a slight groan, I sat up. I looked around for the glowing clock numbers, but then I remembered the panic of last night, and how I had been to tired to really set up my things...

--Flashback--
Flunked. Again. How the Hell was I going to get into Tokyo U. at this rate? What would my parents say?

Then I remembered something...Grandma had a hotel nearby the University. I didn't have to go home. Grandma was nice...she'd let me stay at the hotel for a while; she'd let me do it before.

The interesting part is that somehow, over the course of getting from the Tokyo U. campus to the hotel area, I had picked up 5 or 6 travelling buddies, all looking for a place to stay. Seems all I had had to say was that I was going to a hotel and immediately they want to follow...heh, pretty funny, really.

I knocked on the front door. "Hello? Grandma?" After waiting a couple minutes, I realized that I still had the key to the door. Unlocking it, I let myself in, then allowed the other guys in as well. I looked around at the living room, but it didn't seem to be the same as it had been the last time I was here. Then again, I hadn't been here for years...

"Wait here, I'll go find her..." I said to the other guys. I started towards where I thought her bedroom was. After a couple minutes of looking around for Grandma, I heard a loud scream. But it wasn't a guy's scream, or even Grandma's scream...

"PERVERT!!" a girl screamed. Panicking, I ran back to the main living room. There I saw most of the other guys looking at one who was particularly red in the face. "What happened?" I asked, but I didn't get an answer...

"THAT'S HIM!" the same girl's voice screamed. I spun around to a very shocking sight. Three girls were standing at the opposite side of the living room, each grasping some kind of cleaning tool held out like a weapon, and the front one wearing nothing but a towel.

One of the girls in the back spoke. "What the- what are you doing in here?!" she asked, looking around at the group of us.

"Thi-this is a hotel, isn't it?" I asked, not sure myself anymore.

The toweled girl growled slightly, "A hotel?! This isn't a hotel... it's been a girls Dormitory for a year! Don't use the 'we thought it was a hotel excuse' like every other guy!" The other girl behind her added, "We hear that a lot."

"A GIRLS DORMITORY?!" the guy right behind me practically screamed. 'Towel-girl' responded by nodding and saying, "Yes, so GET OUT!"

"B-but..." I started...
--End Flashback--

I finished setting up my room by putting my small alarm clock next to my pillow. I looked around; it wasn't home, but it would do. By now, a lot more screaming had gone on, but it seemed to have settled down. Adjusting my glasses slightly, I started downstairs.

Suddenly, I was thrown to the ground as a giant explosion came from the kitchen area. <Nande kuso...?> I muttered, getting up, grabbing my glasses (which had fallen off of my face), and rushing to the kitchen. Except it wasn't much of a kitchen anymore.

"What happened?" I asked as I watched the others clean up the mess.

'Towel-girl' spoke first, although she was wearing jean shorts and a white tank top today. "The guy who was cooking last, Tsuuriki or something, must have spilled wine into the fire, according to 'Mr. Science' Cong, who just went upstairs." She sighed slightly, then asked, "You're Maiku, right? I'm Rainea."

"Yeah, I'm Maiku," I confirmed. "Uh, anything I can do to help?"

Sotashi~M~1st year Ronin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stuck in a tree....."GREAT!" I shouted. But, that was my mistake. THE BRANCH SHOOK! I landed with a thud on the ground. I slowly got up, vowing that if I ever had the chance, I would die slowly. My hair was rattled, my clothes messed up, I'm sure I could pass off as a poor guy pretty well. (In reality, Shade looks handsome XD) I walked to the kitchen. "Oh, let me help!" I said, a smile creeping on my face.
1~hour later
Okay, it's offical, this is the worst day of my life. If ever there was a man like me, he would have been either killed, or murdered. "Sorry." I muttered, before going upstairs. "Now which one was mine?" I whispered, looking at the doors. I walked up to one, I hope this is it...a girl was standing there...a very hot girl. She looked as if she just came over a shock. She was laying on her bed. Suddenly she awoke, "PERVERRRRRRRRRRRT!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arisu, meet Shade!

[Thargor]

What the duece?!

Tsuuriki- M- 18

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quickly throwing off some burning debris off my now scarred shirt, I angrily got to my feet. The kitchen was in ruins, my face was covered in black soot, and my clothes were scorched. Adding insult to injury my bottle of '65 chardine was gone! All because of...

Quickly pushing by a person in my way, I checked the now demolished stove, then screamed loudly. That idiot!

"Anything wrong?" said one of the guys with brown hair.

"That fool almost killed me!" I shouted back, clenching my fists tightly.

"Weren't you the one to cause that with the alcohol?" he responded.

"Wine does not have that high alcohol content to do that! That man..." I started, seething in anger, "Put on the gas, yet didn't light the stove! When I lit it, Poof!" Smashing my hands together, my eyes seemed to burn in anger for a moment, then the light went out. Sighing, I gestured to the side of the kitchen that had withstood the most damage.

"I managed to get some pancakes and eggs done over there. You are all welcome to enjoy it. If you all will excuse me, I need to take a bath and get some new clothes on..." I bowed, and started to make my way to the baths. Turning around at the last second, I smiled to the others cheerfully.

"Oh, and would one of you tell that Cong fellow that I expect to see him at 12:00 sharp outside of the house? I plan on fighting him in a little duel because of this. Thanks." Whistling as I patted out a tiny flame on my pants, I continued on my way, my spirit higher than it had been in weeks from the prospect of a small match...

[Elemental Seribii]

Name: Mizu Trainta (She's usually called Bisou, Mii-Mii or Zu.)
Gender: F
Age: 16
School Year/Position: High School student (Junior)
Appearance: She has dark blue hair that sometimes looks black, and rests at the middle of her back. It's usually in a ponytail, or tied back somehow. Her eyes are dark blue, and she reaches 5'6''. She's slightly pale, and quite skinny. She usually has some lipgloss on, and her nails are painted with just glitter.
She's usually in dark blue flared at the bottom jeans, and a black and crimson shirt, with chunky blag clogs. For school, she either wears a dark blue skirt and a white and dark blue sailor shirt, or the boys' uniform (Utena, anyone?), which is just dark blue trousers and a white sailor shirt, but no tie. The teachers have kind of given up on her with that. She usually wears a lot of bracelets, anklets and rings.
Personality: She's really just a girl who had too many ideas, and then went slightly (yeah, right) crazy. She can pop up out of no where, but whenever you want her around, she's disappeared. She's fun to be with, but when it rains, it pours. She's usually quite talkative, but when she's sad or angry, she usually just stops talking, and the entire Boarding House seems to quieten down. She's quite smart, but doesn't like spending her time on academics. She makes friends quite easily, but doesn't mind teasing them or jokingly pointing out flaws, even if she sometimes forgets to be serious.
History: Her parents are Japanese, but she only moved back a few years ago, when she was thirteen, they were previously always moving around because of her Dad's job. She had to learn how to make friends quickly, only to loose them again. She started acting more down and sad when she moved around after the age of nine, when it was harder for her to fit in. They're off traveling again, while she stays at the Boarding House. While she can basically speak fluent Japanese, she sometimes gets things mixed up. She hopes to stay in Japan for her college years too.
She runs up to Hikaru at the very beginning, welcomes him with a riddle, and then runs off again, only leaving him more confused.
Favorite Possesions: She has almost her entire plushie collection, and her camera that takes black and white pictures. She also has a big photo album with pictures from almost her entire life.
Talents: She especially loves making plushies, and they usually are really good, and very cute. She's also very good at giving advice, but prefers to make it sound all riddle-like and confusing, or like a random fact. It makes sense...eventually.
Relations: None yet.
Other: She brought her black cat (he still looks like he's a kitten, though), called Kotaro. He likes to eat, sleep, and go crazy on catnip.

Mizu Trainta - F, 16 (Junior)
--------------------
(The previous night)

"Hey, look, this place has hot springs! And-"
"Aiiie!"
"Holy..."
"Oh. My. God. I don't believe they had the guts to come in here!"
"What?"
"Perverts! Get. Out. NOW!"

I rolled my eyes, and shooed the boys away, out into the main living room, thankful I was still in my bathing suit.

Wonder if Rain-chan knew...

I walked up stairs, to meet one of the boys, who was bright red. One side of his cheek was beetroot, and he just stared at me.

"Ah. I see you have met the Queen Bee, Badger."
"What-?"
"-Ahah. No questioning. Perhaps the hive will swarm. Or, will the stings be nothing compared to the honey?"
"...Yeah. Right."
"Hm. I'm Mizu. The rest of your *ahem*, friends are downstairs in the living room. I'll go check on Rain."

I pointed the broom in the right direction and he started off.

I could hear Rain yelling from the start of the hallway, as she ran towards me. I smirked, and soon was joined by the rest of the girls. Now. Interrogation.

-------------
(The morning)

I was woken by the meowing of Kotaro. I scratched his head, and wandered into the bathroom, taking a quick shower. I changed into a green shirt that rested on my shoulders, and beige pants. Yes, a bit covering, but I'm always cold.

I hummed to myself as I walked down the stairs, and entered the kitchen, stopping short. Kotaro hissed at the sight of the boys. I grinned, and walked into the kitchen, sniffing at the burning smell, and raised an eyebrow at the blackened room. I casually started to make tea.

"Morning, Zu!"
"Good morning, Mii-Mii."
"Sleep alright, Bisou?"

I nodded, lucky that having so many nicknames didn't bother me. Most of the girls had different nicknames for me that all meant me. Rain usually used Mii-Mii, for example, while Arisa might use Zu more often. The boys that had been listening just blinked, confused.

Me and Rain joked about the rent, as the boys introduced themselves. The ones that were here, anyway.

"Guys, this is Mizu. She's our resident advice-giver." Rain started. I turned around, and waved, while pouring the water.
"Oh, that kinda makes sense." Came the boy who I had ran into last night.
"Yeah. Well, she goes by quite a few nicknames around here. Mostly Zu, Mii-Mii or Bisou. Any one of them equals to her. Okay?"
"I get it."

"Aie, Rain, where's the cat food? Kotaro's gonna have a fit." I scratched inbetween his ears, before leaving the tea for a moment.
"Try the bottom left, Mii."

"Great, tea."
"No! It's-"
"Ahh. Ow. Need. Cold."
"Boiling hot."
--------------------
Hope that's okay. ^-^;

[Outlaw JT]

Name: Joshen Hikaru (Joshen is the family name, Hikaru the given)
Gender: male
Age: 18
School Year/Position: 1st year college, Tokyu U computer sciences department.
Appearance: 6'1", light brown hair with a broad blonde streak in his short spiky bangs, hazel eyes that change with his mood (they are predominantly brown but when he is anxious they turn light blue, happy they turn green, intense they turn dark blue,etc), thin build, small thin frame oval glasses, cute but in a nerdy sort of way.
Personality: when it is just his close friends with him he is open, energetic, talkative, confident. when other people are around he shuts down a little bit and becomes very reserved. outside of when he is alone or with close friends there is only one other place where he comes alive with confidence (playing Go). IN general he is a somehwat clumsy person.
History: When he was a small child he was very closed off and reserved at all times. He never talked to anyone about anything and his parents worried about him a great deal. Shortly after he turned 7 his grandfather died and left him an antique Go table. The first time he sat down at that table and held one of the stones in his fingers he came alive. It was like a light was switched on in his head. He took to the game of Go instantly and suddenly he was able to open up to those close to him. He still largely kept to himself at public but at least he could be himself around those he trusted now. As he grew older he did well in school but never excelled at any one thing. That is, except Go. He grew very quickly at that. He latched onto that game like nothing else. At first his parents encouraged it since it was what brought him out of his shell. When he reached high school though and he started talking about becoming a professional Go player his parents once again became worried about him. They took the antique Go table from him and placed it in storage. They forbid him from playing in any professional tournaments and said they would not give the table back till he graduated from college and was situated in a respectable job. Reluctantly he complied and finished out high school competing in only scholastic tournaments, where he met no real competition. he took the entrance exam at the same time as Maiku and passed when Maiku failed the first time. That is how he met Maiku and found out about the hotel. He applied and was accepted to Tokyu U's computer science department which his parents were very proud of. Fortunately for him the school was nearly 100 miles away from his family. While this meant he had no place to stay in the immediate future it meant he would be out from under his parents ever watchful gazes. Perhaps enough to enter a Go tournament or two to try and begin his professional career while his skills were still at their current peak. While they were searching the 'hotel' for the elusive grandmother he opened a door to a room he heard a beautiful singing voice emerge from. He knocked first but no one answered and the door was unlocked. He called out too but still recieved no response. Thinking it must be the caretaker's room he opened the door assuming they must be preoccupied with paperwork and was greeted by a very loud scream accusing him of being a pervert. All he saw before the door was slammed in his face was a towel and someones outstretched palm slapping his face.
Favorite Possesions: the antique Go table he inherited from his grandfather(which is currently in storage in Osaka) and the small trophy from the first Go tournament he ever entered (whenever he is depressed or can't think he holds it to draw strength from).
Talent: His foremost talent is for the strategy game Go. He is an exceptional player. His secondary talent is for numbers and history. He is very good at math which is why he was pushed towards software design. He also seems to have extensive knowledge of the Edo period of Japan. So much that it would almost seem he lived through it himself.
Relations: Although from the first moment they met he was at odds with Rainea it became clear to his friends that he was quite taken by her even though the two seem to constantly be at each others throats because of their awkward first meeting.
Other: On a mysterious side note, Hikaru can sometimes seem distracted by seemingly empty space. On occasion he can also be caught talking to himself when he thinks no one is watching. It isn't often someone might see this because he is very cautious about it but nonetheless different people may observe it from time to time.


Joshen Hikaru
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As they all looked up at the great hotel he let out a low yawn. It had been a very long day and he was looking forward to a night's rest. The others filed into the lobby of the hotel behind Maiku and he followed suit.
After taking a moment to observe the decour Maiku went off in search of his grandmother. Once he was gone one of the other guys suggested they should split up and search as well to speed things up. Hikaru didn't remember the name of the guy but he was one of the older boys. A martial artist if he recalled correctly. Introductions had been so brief.
"I guess I'll go this way then," Hikaru responded with another yawn.
He seperated with all the rest and took his hallway in search of Maiku's grandmother or the caretaker. In about ten minutes he'd be wishing he hadn't listened to that other boy.
He walked down the hall knocking on and checking each door as he passed it. He didn't get any responses and most of the doors were locked or empty.
After about ten minutes of aimless wandering through the first floor he came upon his first sign of life. Behind a very plain looking door he could hear someone singing. It was a very beautiful voice. He hated to disturb such slendind singing but it was getting ever later and his eyes felt heavier than ever already.
So, he knocked on the door politely. The voice inside didn't seem to hear it so he knocked again a bit louder. Still no response so he cleared his throat to call into the room.
"Hello? Is this the caretakers room?" he asked politely through the door.
He waited a moment but the wonderful singing continued and no one answered. Losing a little patience with his weariness he put his hand on the door knob and turned it just a bit. Amazingly the door was unlocked. After so many locked doors it had been a surprise. Wirh another yawn and little hesitation he casually pushed the door open.
"Excuse me but........" he popped his head into the room but was stopped midsentence.
In a heartbeat the heavenly singing ceased and was replaced by a horrid shreek directed at him.
"PERVERT!!!!!" someone screamed at him.
In a flash he managed to catch a glimpse of some long hair and a quickly fastened towel before the door was slammed shut, flattening his nose and knocking his glasses crooked. He immediately took off down the hall back towards the lobby. It was probably best he didn't hang around this particular spot very long.
He was the second one to get back to the lobby. It seemed everyone had heard that shout. Shortly after most of the guys made it back several girls filtered into the lobby as well. Including a very stunning towel clad girl with long hair and a near blood red angry expression.
"THAT's HIM!!" the towel clad girl pointed at accusingly.
"I-it wasn't locked.......You d-didn't answer," Hikaru answered back in defense, his face now red with embarassment.
Or was it anger. It wasn't entirely his fault afterall. Who leaves a shower room door unlocked while they are......indecent. And he had given her several chances to respond before he opened the door. How was it his fault she wasn't paying attention?
"A girl's dormitory?!" one of the other guys shouted, dragging him from his indignant thoughts.
"Yes, so get out!" the towel clad girl responded hastily.
"But, but........" Maiku started, at a complete loss for words.
"This is his grandmother's hotel. She told him he could stay here whenever he wanted," Hikaru said loudly, matching the tone of the towel clad girl. "You can't just throw him out."
The towel girl looked at him with fire in her eyes. He looked back at her still red with embarassment but with fire in his eyes as well. It wasn't right to blame him entirely for something she could have easily prevented by paying attention. It was just as much her fault.



OOC: I will post more later tonight to catch Hikaru up to the morning.

Raine - F - Senior Student (17)
**

After whirling around the house, chasing that guy who mocked me - Valius I believed one of the boys said.
Coming back to the kitchen, Mii-Mii asked where the food for her adorable kitten was, and I quickly pointed it out to her, as I tried to help myself to some of her tea.

"Ahhhk!" I bite my tongue, as I quickly sat the cup down.
" It's... hot..." Mii-Mii said, and I nodded, my eyes watering.
"I felt that.."

This whole morning had been so eventful- it was crazy!
"Anything I can do to help..?" Maiku had asked, and I had shrugged at the comment as if not knowing, but now I laughed.
"Hey Maiku, you could rebuild the kitchen so it doesn't have a massive hole in the wall and isn't black."
Maiku sweatdropped...
I gazed through the cubboards, and sighed at the lack of food which was ever evident in the kitchen. If we were adding our numbers almost more than double, we would need more food.

"I'm thinking I'm gonna go upstairs and change, and then go shopping for some food, if any of you girls or guys want to help me, go ahead. I'll be back."

With that I ran upstairs, and walking down the hallways I heard a ruffled noise. Blinking and feeling rather curious, I gently walked towards it until I saw... Cong?
He was trying to get the doggy away from him, and I laughed slightly as I quickly gazed at him with a mischevious grin.
"Need help?"
"Yes! Please! It's gonna eat Pecca!!!"
I shook my head.. "Come 'ere boy! Come 'ere!"
I pretended to have some thing in my hand, as the dog gazed towards me and then let loose a small happy bark and ran towards me. I pretended to throw it down the stairs, as the puppy ran after it with a furious look on his face.
"Thank you!"
The dog suddenly realized however, that it had been tricked and quickly growled and barked even louder, making noises of coming up the stairs..
"Crap! My room is way over there!" Cong gave a shout, and his eyes were full of terror as if the dog were about to kill him and Cong remains would be all over the house...
" Here!"
I quickly said with out thinking, and I grabbed Cong by the shirt and led him away from killer-puppy, and we ran. The dog was almost upon both of us as Iquickly reached my delicate hand out and opened a door, and then SLAM! Shut it behind him as the dog's paws were on the door, but he was shut out.

"Th-thanks.." Cong managned to breath out, Pecca perched on his shoulder made a slight noise. I nodded, my face flushed as I withdrew a breath.
"No problem..." Cong then gazed around, and blinked slightly.
"Oh, this is my room... you can stay here for a little bit until Killer pup gets bored."
With that I suddenly saw that my room was... rather... messy.
"Eh... one sec!" I said, as I quickly picked up all my clothing which I had thrown on the floor in the hamper, and quickly spread the sheets of my floor-bed to make them neat, until the room looked half-way neat. Last night's homework was thrusted all over my desk, full of math equations and English grammer... along with history and a few art classes. I saw Cong's eyes waver over there, as I smiled.
"Uh, Cong... I'm going to the store, and I wanted to change... so, would you mind just looking at or around my desk and don't look over here until I say so?"
Cong nodded.
"Good, you aren't a pervert like that one kid."

I smiled, as he turned around and Iquickly went to my closet and took out a red shirt with the, "I.C.Wai" logo upon the shirt in cute blue bubble lettering with a pink kitten upon the short sleeve. I took off my tanktop, and quickly pulled that over my head and flipped my long, ribbon-like hair out from it.
"Alright Cong..."
Cong nodded, as he looked back and I quickly put my sandals on and took a brush and quickly went over my hair a few times before stopping and listening.
"Ah... killer pup left, probably to go to his 'mother'."
Cong nodded, as I quickly added..
"oh, and Tsuuriki-chan said he challenges you to a duel."
Cong's eyes went wide... "A... a duel?"
Suddenly I pitied him, and frowned...
" Yeah, I am not sure what though... look, you don't have to duel him if you don't want to. I'll vouch for you... the kitchen thing, it was and accident even though you blew it up."
Cong's eyes looked like they were about to burst into tears... I panicked, i didn't want him to cry! Poor kid!
"No! Don't cry! Don't get upset! It's okay!! You don't have to duel Tsuuriki-chan... you're like, what... 15? And he's like... 19 or 18... that age difference alone... he shouldn't duel you... unless you want too!"
Still his eyes watered..
"It'll be fine!" I quickly wrapped my arms around him as I gave him a full hug... he was awefully sensative for a guy, and I hadn't really met a guy who was as sensative as him. Hugging him, I smiled as I cheerfully spoke..
" It's alright, your cooking was good anyway!"


(I hope that it was alright with your interaction... I hope I played Cong's character right. ^^ Feel free to add any extra words he might have said and go on... she'd be traveling down stairs to leave to go shopping soon as Cong was ready to leave.)

Janice:

I yawned as I woke up. Grabbing some clothes, I walked into the bathroom and took my shower, Using up as much of the hot water as I could. I knew it would cost a decent amount, but I needed some time to think about last night. So we now had quite a few new boarders? Well, I wondered if I should introduce myself. That could wait. All I really wanted to do was go out to town. As I finished up and pulled on a green t-shirt and mini-skirt, I strode down to the kitchen, the smell of acrid smoke burning my nose. When I got there, I immediatly noticed the huge hole in the wall. The thing that really angered me though was that there was no breakfast for me! Well, if there was really so little food in the house, Rain would be going shopping. That meant fresh air AND food! I ran to her door, picking up BobBon and holding him arm's length to keep him from nipping me. "Rain? Are you in there? Listen, if you're going shopping today....." I walked in, and noticed she was hugging one of the guys. At first I thought it was an affair, but then I noticed the guy looked near tears. Immediatly they seperated, and he looked at me. Rubbing the back of my neck, I said "Er, hi. My name's Janice, what's yours?" As I extended my hand towards him.

----------------------------------------
I sat in my room, holding an icepack to my head. And rubbing the bruises on my torso.
"Who ever thought that brooms, mops and a vacuum cleaner could do so much damage," I said to myself, "How was I supposed to know that she was in the house, let alone, in the shower. She really needs some anger management." I looked around my room. It seemed dull; it felt like there was something missing.
"What does this room need?" I asked myself as I looked out the window. Then I noticed a shed near the Hot Springs.
"That's it," I said.

Two hours later...

After making several trips to the shed and back, I had brought a series of tools, bottles, old machine parts and some batteries up to my room. I then began unpacking my stuff.
"That's better," I said to myself. Then I pulled something out of my bag. It was an invention I was working on. A portable microwave.
"I really should get this finished," I said to myself as I picked up a couple of tools. "Now I'll just give this a couple of twists, give that a few cranks, wire that to that and add those in and it should be ready to go. I've just got to test it first." I pulled a microwave burito out of my pocket and put it in.
"I'll set the timer to two minutes and start."
BOOM!!!!

Arisu/F/18/High School Senior
++++++
Arisu had run up to her room, clutching herself tightly as if she might fall apart. She'd slammed the door behind her and leaned against it, chest heaving, and swore to get a bathrobe to wear as soon as possible. Preferably today. Taking a few minutes to calm down and hoped that she didn't show anything, Arisu proceded to change into a pair of baggy jeans, held up by a belt, and a plain white blouse. However, as she was buttoning up her blouse, someone had opened the door. Arisu assumed that it was Zu, not looking up immidietly. And when she did, the person at the door was definately NOT Zu. Instead, there was a gaping man staring at her. Arisu felt herself beginning to flush, and beganing screaming.

"YAAAAAAH!!! HENTAI! HENTAI! RAPIST!"

Picking up a sword, Arisu advanced towards the man, swinging the blade around madly, while continuing to scream "HENTAI! HENTAI! HENTAI!". The man paled, gulped, and ran away, with Arisu following him on his heels. BonBon, who had been trotting towards Arisu's room, saw her mistress chasing Sotashi and decided that Man=Bad. The Pomerian then began to join the chase, barking madly while running after Arisu, who was chasing poor Sotashi with her blouse half-unbuttoned and with her sword ready to strike, while Sotashi ran as hard as he could.

I smiled at Janice, as she introduced herself to Cong. He was very red, as I rubbed the back of my head. Hopefully Janice didn't get very many ideas about me hugging guys... Cong was cute bu-
"HENTAI! HENTAI! RAPISSST!"
Suddenly a holler and a yell echoed through the Wai House, and my ears seemed to pounce on it.
"WHAT?!"
I immediatly thought, as I gazed at Janice who blinked widely and Cong seemed frightened. I shook my fist at my side, the image of that boy's head in my mind still... I bet it's him... I thought.
"Excuse me Janice-chan, Cong-chan, but I must aid Arisu!"
I could easily recognize her voice anywhere...
I charged out of the room, hearing BonBon's voice echoing in the hallway as it came towards me...
The guy ran by, and I recognized him... Sotashi. He was introduced last night by another guy... hrrm.. hrmm...
"So he's just like the OTHER one! These guys must be horn-"
I was about to continue when Arisu blew by, her white blouse flying in the wind half-way as her sword sliced a nearbye plant.
"Hey! ARISU! Watch out for the decoooor!"
I shouted, as I grabbed my small bag with my money with in it and then I chased after Arisu..
" HENTAAI! COME HERE YOU PERVERT! YOU PEEKER!"
I caught up to her furry, as her angry eyes looked towards me..
"What happened?" I asked her as we both ran after the guy, and she glared..
"He came into my room and saw me dressing!!!"
I felt a strange feeling come over me... the shower... the guy..
" AFTER HIM!"
We proceeded to chase him downstairs... in a furry, and we passed the kitchen and I could hear some guy say,
"Hey Raine I'll go with you to shop-"
But his voice trailed off as soon as the guy opened the door which led to the Hot Springs out back of the Wai House... Arisu followed, along with me and BonBon as we fled after him. I had my fist clenched, poised and ready to smash that guy's head. Although Arisu was good with her sword... I wasn't too bad with my hand-to-hand combat either. Finally the guy was cornered... and we had an audience by the enterance to the Hot Springs.

But of course... Sotashi didn't see what the 'steam covering the water' was, and fell into the Hot Springs. Arisu must have not cared, for she plundered after him..
So did I, because like Arisu... we both did not like peekers.

"You are DONE FOR NOW HENTAI!" Arisu bellowed...
"Yeah! YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS THAT OTHER GUY!" I growled...

[Thargor]

Tsuuriki-M-18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relaxing in the hot springs after a nice cold shower, I couldn't help thinking that this place wasn't so bad after all. Sure, I had a few little bad instances in the beginning, with mistaking this for a hotel, and nearly getting blown up, but how could a place with as nice hotsprings as this be bad?

Reclining against the rocky bottom, I let the steam curl over my head, and let the wet towel drape over my face. Relaxation was something I could take very well, and was even better for my muscles. Such peaceful surroundings were good for my soul... It also helped calm me down... Perhaps I had been too harsh on Cong... I couldn't back down from the duel now, of course, but I could go easy on the guy and teach him a thing or two how to defend himself. Nothing at all could go wrong now. Nothing at-

My peaceful soak was interrupted by screams and pounding feet, as three human missiles erupted out of the side door. With no regard to the sign I had posted there, they plunged down the rock path, and straight into the mist.

"You are DONE FOR NOW HENTAI!" Arisu bellowed...
"Yeah! YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS THAT OTHER GUY!" Raine growled...

By now, I was soaking wet from the struggles of Satoshi, and the two girls. And all serentity had escaped from me again.

"Ahem!" I said loudly.

The two girls looked in unison at me for a second, then turned back to their victim. Then, they both did a double-take. Their wet faces grew red swiftly, as they saw I was naked. Freezing in place, Satoshi was left panting, and bolted when he saw the girls had let their grips go slack. Flopping out of the hot springs, he ran back inside.

Meanwhile, I slowly rose to my feet, and wrapped my towel around my waist. One of the girls gathered her wits somewhat, and began to shout at me.

"Just what the hell do you think you're doing here you HEN-" Janice began, as I interrupted by pointing towards the sign next to the door. Written in flowing Kanji letters, in bright red ink, said: "The hot-spring is occupied- Tsuuriki."

"Tai..." she ended lamely.

Walking out of the hot spring with as much pride as I could muster, I stared at the girls.

"After I change back into my clothes, I will be going out into the city. Perhaps I will be able to find some people who can be quiet and read for just 5 seconds there." Walking quickly back inside, I dripped all the way back to my room.

[Gladiator]

For Valius to save the day (You guys post too fast for me)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Damn it," I called out, "Can't we go one day without a girl screaming that!"

I had managed to outrun Rainea, she was a bit slow. Can't people just take a joke. It wasn't quite hard to follow the screams. You could hear these girls from the other side of the world. It wasn't long before I found them near this place with water, again I don't know much. I turned to see another guy leave, then turned to find them in the pool with another guy, Satoshi from what I was told later, in the water. For people who did not like peepers, they sure set themselves up for a lot of bad jokes.

"Do my eyes deceive me, or do we have a three-way in progress," I said loud enough for them to hear me. I think the two girls became very pale in face, despite the warmth of the pool as they turned toward me. I began to lose my temper

"Well, now that I have your attention, will you stop trying to kill everyone you THINK IS TRYING TO SEE YOU NAKED! I CAME HERE TO RELAX, YOU JUDGEMENTAL BIMBOS! Eh, whoops." I discovered my error a little too late.

"Um, exit: Stage Left," I narrated my escape and left, before I could find out what they were going to do to me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd time Thargor beat me to the post. I don't think I'll ever be able to move fast enough for you people.

[Thargor]

Bah, they forced a typing class on me in middle school. Hated it at the time, but useful as anything now... Oh, and Satoshi was the first one to leave. Tsuuriki was the last one there with the two girls.

[Krystalline Kabutops]

Janice:

I sat there, wet and humiliated. I watched him run off, and looked to Rain and Arisu. It seemed we all had a problem with peepers. "So, Rain..... can we go to the store as soon as we dry off?" She just sat there and fumed. "Uh... maybe later..." I said as I hastily deserted the spring to get to my room and change into something dry. As I walked down the hall, I saw the guy who Rain had been hugging..... Sighing as I saw his expression, I said "Look, you can come back to Rain's room... I can just borrow something of hers...." I led him back to the room sat him down on the bed. "Now, when I get dressed, don't look. Ok?" He nodded and I turned around to look through Rain's drawer. I picked out some jeans and a white tank top, pulled them on (after drying off) and sat down next to him. "So, I've already introduced myself. Who are you?"

[EngiMatikul]

Curious question. Is this RPG based more off of real-life style or anime style? The reason in bringing up this question is because apparently my explosion scene might have been misinterpreted, or I have been informed wrongly. I know that a bottle of wine does not have the capacity to completely destroy a kitchen, but, if we're following off the anime Love Hina, there really isn't any possible way for Keitaro to be shot 3000 feet up into the air from Naru's punch logically. So um... is this more anime like or real life like? And yes, the explosion was just a very elaborate exaggeration of an exploding wine bottle. But since Thargor already put his POV into it, I'll follow along.
Which, right now, I don't have much to do other than to wait until noon, whenever that'll happen.
Cong
-----
I stood up in front of Janice and bowed to her. "Excuse me for my impoliteness. My name is Cong KaShi... eer" I looked around. "since the dog is now gone, I need to get to my room to finish some unpacking... do you want to come along with me? I could probably use some help."
Janice contemplated for a moment. "Well, I'm thinking of going out soon with Rainea soon, so..."
"That's perfectly acceptable. Pecca and I will unpack by ourselves then." With that I left and (finally) entered my room, closed the door, put 20 locks on it to make sure no dogs will get in, and began unpacking my materials. I had some unpacking to do, as I do need to set up my lab so I can begin my experiments.

[Ali]

Arisu/F/18/High School Senior
+++++++
Arisu was still blushing fiercly when Tsuuriki left. Turning to face Rainea, she asked a question that suddenly popped into her head.

"Do you think he's gay?" she asked Rainea, arching an eyebrow and making a mental note to find out who was that guy who called her and Rainea 'bimbos'. He was going to pay. Really pay. Arisu sighed and looked down at her now-wet clothes.

"Crap, I need to go change again..."

Arisu sighed again and BonBon, who was smart enough not to jump into the water, barked and wagged her tail.

[MarshmallowEgg]

*apologizes for being so late* My parents decided that yesterday would be a good day to ban me from the computer -_-;;

Name: Shaina-Eve Calloway
Gender: Female
Age: 16
School Year/Position: High school Junior
Appearance: Long, light brown hair streaked through with red and blond that reaches halfway down her back. Bright blue eyes. She stands at about 5'4". Normally, she wears a black t-shirt trimmed with blue and blue jeans, along with a necklace with an amethyst - her birthstone - pendant. She also has a gray hooded sweatshirt that she pulls on when she gets cold.
Personality: She's a little shy around people she doesn't know, but she's not as shy as she used to be, and she's coming out of her shell. When she's around her friends, though, she's hyper and a complete ditz - though the ditzyness is mostly an act, as she really is rather smart. She's kind of glad the guys showed up, because guys are fun, even though she's a little shy and quiet around them.
History: She had a bad time of it up until high school. She was born in Hawaii, but she doesn't remember anything about it as they moved to Japan when she was about 6 months old. When she started school, she was labeled as an outcast from the first day for refusing an acceptance into a little "clique" of popular girls - an acceptance that included pushing a little boy of their age that the girls deemed "nerdy" into a thorn bush. It wasn't a big deal through elementary school, but her best friend moved right before the beginning of their first year of middle school, and she became withdrawn and quiet. The "popular girls" mocked her, saying she had no friends. Needed something to take her mind off the taunts, she picked up writing, and found she was actually quite good at it, and that it was an outlet for her depression, which grew steadily worse as the years went on. The summer before high school, her parents found a poem of hers that talked of suicide. They hadn't realized the extent of her depression, and immediately decided that it was time for a new beginning for her. Shaina-Eve violently resisted going to the dorm, convinced that it was going to be just like her old school, but as the weeks went on she found that the girls there were friendly and treated her as a friend, and she slowly climbed out of her shell. Now she's much better than she was, and definitely not depressed, though she still has a stubborn bit of shell clinging to her foot. ^_^
Favorite Possesions: A picture of her old best friend (who she writes to often and sees whenever she can), a diary that she writes in often, her old diaries, and her notebooks and pencils.
Talent: #1: Writing. She's an amazing writer. She mostly writes poems and short stories, but she is in the process of working on a novel. She's a little skeptical of her writing, though, and doesn't much like showing it to people, though every once in a while, if she's really proud of something, she'll show it to a friend or two.
#2: Flute. She loves playing the flute and isn't too bad at it either. She's been playing the flute since she was about 10, and tries to practice at least once a day, though every once and a while she doesn't have the time.
Relations: None; it's open.
Other: Nopes!

Shaina-Eve Calloway - 16 - F - Junior

"PERVERRT!"

And thus the Wai House's most interesting night so far began.

The cry echoed down the hallway. I ran to the door of my room, poking my head out and looking down the hall. Rainea was running down the hallway, a towel wrapped around her, shreiking at the top of her lungs. I pulled the towel from my drying hair (we'd all been in the hot springs not too long ago) and headed off in the direction Rainea had gone, grabbing a mop in the process. It could come in handy if we caught the guy.

I stopped short as I entered the living room. There was a group of guys just sitting there! The other girls, who had apparently had much the same idea as I had, were all standing with brooms and various other things at the ready. The guys just stared.

"What the- what are you doing in here?" I asked, blinking in confusion.

"Thi-this is a hotel, isn't it?" one of the guys ventured.

"A hotel?! This isn't a hotel... it's been a Girl's Dormitory for a year! Don't use the 'we thought it was a hotel excuse' like every other guy!" Rainea shouted.

Mii Mii nodded, " We hear that a lot."

" A GIRLS DORMITORY?!" another guy said.

"Yes, so GET OUT!"

"B-but..." one guy began...

About a half hour later, the story had finally been told (in a long, roundabout, slightly confusing way... but it was told nonetheless.) Apparently one of the guys grandmother owned the place... and it HAD been a hotel the last time they were here. It was an honest mistake, though Rainea was still annoyed (then again, who wouldn't be?).

"Aww... we... we can't let them out on the street now, can we?" I asked.

"Why can't we let them stay here a while?" Janice said with a shrug. This started a long debate between the girls, the details of which I won't go into, but it ended with the guys being allowed to stay in the extra rooms as long as they paid the rent and helped with the chores. I was exhausted by the time I crawled into bed, but I still had enough energy to pull out my diary. This was something to write about.

*****

OOC: Sorry it's kind of short >_< Basically just a catch-up post for Shaina-Eve. I don't have time to write anything else, I have to catch the bus in 25 minutes and I'm not ready. >_<

Raine - F - Senior Student(17)
*

I was steaming...
I overreact at times, I admit... but I don't hate that guy who saw me in the shower, nor did I hate Sotashi for seeing Arisu... but at least they could not run away and confront us!
The Hot Springs?
It was an accident... besides, if you lived in a GIRLS dormitory for a year, you didn't exactly think there would be guys suddenly in the dorm. I mean... a year! It takes a long time to train yourself for new people to have arrived- especially in the oppisite gender. I never locked doors before... if Mii-Mii or Janice or anyone of the girls entered the shower room while I was in there- who cared? They were girls... how I was I supposed to know a bunch of crazy guys would enter the hotel and start trying to find this 'grandmother'??
Now I was a judgemental bimbo for trying to persecute a guy for going into the wrong room!! It wasn't like I was going to kill him! Haven't they ever heard of exaggerations!
"GAH!"
I steamed, as my red shirt was now soaked and clinging to my light-weight body, as my shorts also seemed to cling to my legs. My hair dripped past my hips, as my slight layered-bangs were parted to my sides and dripped down my face.
Wait a minute buddy.
Valius tried to escape, but I saw him sneaking away upstairs- exactly where I was heading. Before he could hear me coming, I grabbed him by the shirt and yanked him to me. His eyes widened..
"Wha-"
"Look here MISTER!"
I growled, my eyes of annoyance full of fire...
" First of all, WE ARE NOT JUDGEMENTAL BIMBOS! I'm a Senior Student in the Academy High not far from here, and I plan on going to college thank you very much! I didn't say Sotashi or that other guy were idiots, nor did I say that they were mean, rude jerks... I simply wished they'd confront us perhaps instead of RUNNING WAY BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT IS SUSPICOUS, RUNNING AWAY FROM THE SCENE INSTEAD OF TELLING US THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY?! If they RUN away don't you think that might GIVE off a sort of, "AH! They caught me!" SIGNAL?! Then you come in,s aying you just want to relax! Well excuse me, but we're letting you guys stay in our dorm which we helped start in the first place! We're being nice letting you stay here and...a nd... I'm trying to be nice!!! Then you go an-"

I felt hot in the face, and perhaps a little tear at the corner of my eye but I refused to show it as I blinked quickly, my eyes turning to liquid as I quickly let my grip relieve itself from his shirt, as I passed him, turning my head away so not to look at him. My room was open, so I went inside to see Cong leave, and Janice inside.
" Strange day..." Janice said, as she put on some of my clothes. I nodded..
" No kidding.."
"You really must have been upset.."
I nodded, turning away from her as I reached out for a new pair of clothes in one of my drawers.
"Well... I'd just rather not talk about it."
"That's okay... you planning on going to the store?"
I nodded, "Right after I put on my clothes, yes. Maybe Arisu will come with."
"Sounds good."
With that Iq uickly put on a mini-skirt which was white, flaring out like my school uniform a bit as i then grabbed a light, airy shirt which had no sleeves and drapped slightly past my skirt with two ribbon-like strings tying the sides together. It was light pink in color, and I sighed as I took my brush and took about a few minutes to put my long, thick hair up into a thick ponytail. Sighing, I gazed to Janice and forced a smile as I grabbed my purse-like bag.
"Let's go."

With that we walked by Arisu's room, to which I knocked on the door..
"Going to the store, you can come with if you want, I'll be walking out."

With that I walked downstairs... past the kitchen, but I refused to look at any who might be there.
" Where are you going?"
A guy voice... and with out looking I just stared at the floor as I shrugged, "To the store... if anyone wants to come with, ... I guess they could."

I then opened up the door, and walked out..

[Thargor]

Tsuuriki- M- 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I quickly toweled off in my room, and changed into my regular shirt and pants. Fortunately I had several pairs to change into for my training, since my burned ones were ruined. The embarassment of the moment was gone from me, and I actually chuckled to myself for a moment. The last time I had actually been in the hotsprings when a girl had appeared was when I was 14 with one of the compound's maids. I had been so shocked, but it was nothing compared to the embarrasment of the maid at the time. Grandfather had made sure that a similar situation would never happen again, by actually building a new hotspring for the female workers... I was actually kinda sorry he did that, but the manners he drilled into me made it impossible to voice that opinion infront of him...

Punching my fist several times in the air, followed by a quick snap quick, I smiled to myself. Once I would go out on the town, I should be able to find something interesting to do... Perhaps go to an arcade, or find a dojo or something...

Suddenly it occurred to me that I knew nothing about the layout of the town. Sighing loudly, I bounded down the hallway of the house, just to see Raine leaving. She looked down, her stance that of somebody who was weary.

" Where are you going?" I asked quietly.

"To the store... if anyone wants to come with, ... I guess they could." She said, as she left.

Coming to a decision quickly, I followed her, and walked up to her side. Looking down at her for a second, I looked straight ahead down the street.

"I'm sorry if I worsened the situation at the hot-spring, Raine," I began, "Just shocked to see somebody enter... I guess this is an adjustment for you as well..."

I let a smile spread across my lips, "But I have to admit, that is the best head-lock I've ever seen applied to a guy in quite some time... You have some potential there."

"I'll go to the store with you, since I don't know my way around town, but is it ok if we also go to the school? I need to register as a senior there, but the principal keeps on avoiding me..."

[Elemental Seribii]

Mizu - F, 16 (Junior)
----------------------
I giggled as the microwave exploded. Johnny, wasn't it? He blinked twice, and wiped some of the exploded burito off of his face. I tossed him the paper towel roll and a sponge, and told him not to worry about it.

"HENTAI! HENTAI! RAAAPIST!" Came Arisu's shout, as she and Rain chased after a boy. I watched them race down the hall, peeking my head out of the doorway.

Aiya, that leads to the hot springs. Kotaro meowed loudly as the splash was heard.

When I arrived, Rain and Arisu were soaking wet, and I heard something about bimbos. I bit my lip, and tried not to grin. Poor Rain, she's had it tough. First that peeker, now this? Arisu, I could guess what happened. They both waded out of the hot springs, both steamed - in both ways.

Rain chased after the boy - Valius, no. Tsuuriki, I think. This man screams for a nickname.

"Ari, you alright?" I asked, as she got out of the water. She nodded, running her hands through her hair.
"Yeah Zu, I guess so. I have to go change." She walked out, and I followed.

I picked up Kotaro, and decided I might as well go out shopping too. I had a little money left to spend. I hope I don't have to get a job...

I knocked on the door of Ari's room. "Yeah, who is it?" Came her voice.
"It's Zu. Rain and Janice have already gone. Wanna go out and meet up with them or something, or stay here? I was gonna ask Shania if she wants to come too. You know I hate it when the Wai House isn't the happiest place in all of Japan. You up for it, girlfriend?" I made a desperate attempt to cheer her up, and I heard her laugh, but I wasn't sure if she meant it or not.

Arisu/F/18/High School Senior
++++++
Arisu had towelled herself off, first dragging a chair to barricade the door, then dumping her wet clothes in the 'dirty corner' in the room, where she usually kept her dirty clothes to be washed. She'd managed to change into another pair of baggy jeans, but this time chose to wear a loose-fitting dark blue shirt. Arisu had just finished towelling off her hair and brushing it when Mizu called. The dark-haired girl quickly dragged the chair away from the door and opened it, grinning at the sixteen year old girl.

"I'd love to! I need to buy some stuff also. Mainly a bathrobe and a lock. And also I've heard that the arcade also has a new Dance Dance Revolution machine!" Arisu squealed and clapped her hands at the last statement. She loved DDR or any forms of dancing.

"Just let me finish brushing my hair, okay?" Arisu shut the door and hastily finished brushing her hair, then grabbed her wallet and shoved it into her pocket before opening the door again.

"C'mon, let's go before they leave us behind!" she exclaimed, smiling.

Sotashi-M-1st year Ronin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had ran to my room, this time the right room. So in less then a day, I had been chased, almost eaten by a mad dog, fallen in the hot springs, and now, after all that, I feel worse then ever. I didn't mean to! Why does everything bad happen to me? Tears began to go down my cheek. Something I had been used to. I mean, first my parents always called me an idiot, and my uncle always said my brother was better then me. I took my bag and walked down the stairs. No one seamed to notice, BIGG surprise... I guess I'll have to go back to mom and dad. They'll laugh and probably throw me out on the streets. But hey, at least it'll be something to do. I was absent-mindedly walking when I fell down. "AND MY SHIRT IS RIPPED!" I shouted. I threw down my shirt. I'm sick of this!

[Gladiator]

Damn, I can't tell what the hell is going on. In what country do you people live? I just wish I were never in such a hurry, I might be able to post better, you know.

Valius
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess my problems all began when I left my home in New York, away from my friends. Japan was totally new to me, and I wasn't familiar with the language and people. My social life had gone down hill ever since. I suppose her reaction was understandable, the whole situation just sounds like something out of a show or comic. I wonder if...naaah!

"She has a point," I told myself, a common thing for me. I don't know where that began, "I mean how often does a guy go into a girl's dormitory thinking it's a hotel. This has got to be a first outside of a sit-com." I began strolling around a random hall, just trying to gain my bearings.

"On the otherhand, she claims to be understanding. I could believe that day one. My mimicry was just poking fun, but to find her chasing a kid INTO a pool or whatever it was, I'll have to look into that, and with her is a girl with a sword. That does not give them a good image to the poor shmoe being chased, and THAT'S my problem with the whole thing. I hope I'm not the next guy to run into a half-naked girl. I don't need that on top of my other problems." I looked at my hair at this remark. All my life after the incident that caused it, someone would ask what the hell I did with it. It's not my fault it goes out in spikes, and it's not my fault once every two weeks it rearranges into some other God awful position. I headed downstairs toward the room I chose for myself, nearest to both the dining room and the exit, or as close as possible to both.

I changed into a different set of attire. Probably because I didn't plan to leave the room, I decided to settle for a black T-shirt, blue jeans, and put on a black cape for the hell of things. I decided to look in the mirror, and just realized my hair made for a nice set of jagged horns. Verses sprung into mind.

"To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."

I tried to alter my voice to sound more hateful and masculine than my own. I frowned at the result. It's not that it was particularly bad, but it just didn't sound right to me.

"Alright, Valius, you can do better," I told myself, trying to get a better look in the mirror and a better idea of the character, "Either hateful doesn't work, or the outfit doesn't match. How could you best characterize the lost Archangel?"

Maybe I wasn't that good with people, but at least I was serious in my craft.

Shaina-Eve Calloway - 16 - F - Junior
*****

I woke up late the next morning, after having stayed up late writing in my diary. The house seemed to be abnormally quiet, and I found out why when I stuck my head out the door. Taped to my door was a little note that read,

"Shaina-Eve,

We tried to wake you up, but you were dead asleep. Most of the girls are down at the store, and a couple of the guys are too. Some of the guys are still around the house though. You can come up and meet us or just hang around, I don't think we'll be too long. See ya later!

~Arizu and Mizu"

I shrugged and started to head for the kitchen, but stopped when I realized I was still in my pajamas. Normally this wasn't a big deal, but I wasn't sure I wanted a bunch of guys seeing my in my pj's, so I ran back to my room and changed into a red spaghetti strap shirt and a pair of blue jeans, ran my brush through my hair a couple times, and headed back to the kitchen... which I found to be demolished. I sighed.

"The guys are here for a day and already the place is in ruins," I muttered to myself, searching around for something that wasn't burnt. A box of cereal under the sink had escaped unscathed, so I grabbed it and headed off down the hall, alternately munching on handfuls and whistling a tune I had been practicing on my flute recently.

I looked at Tsuuriki, and I couldn't help but smile slightly... he said I had potential. My father had always said that- said I was a...

Flashback


" You can't play. You're just a girl... girl's can't play with us!" The boys said, standing their with a ball in their hands as they smirked and laughed. One of the boys- a brown haired boy, laughed and snickered as he mocked me and they all chorused with laughter.
" Go play with dolls or sing to yourself."
I felt hot in the face...
" I'm not gonna play with dolls or sing! I wanna play with the ball too!"
They laughed again, " We here you sing all the time to yourself... what, do you have an imaginary friend too?"
I frowned, and clenched my fists..
"No!"
"Yes you do! Hahaha! The girl has an imaginary friend because no other friends will play with her!"
I felt hotter in the face. I had plenty of friends at school, but living in the country... the nearest friends I had out there were only boys, all the girls lived near town. It wasn't my fault..
"SHUT UP!"
Only more laughter... finally I felt so angry, I ran at the boy with the ball, swung my fist backwards like I had seen father do at the bar one night, and swung hard.
SMACK!
My fist nailed him right in the jaw, and he fell to teh ground, dropping the ball and immediatly he looked at me, and held his jaw and began to cry. The rest of the boys looked wide-eyed at me, and quickly they dispersed. The crying boy called for his mother... and soon my father had to appologize for everything, scold me, punish me, and take me home. Although when we did go home... he chuckled..
"You always were a little fireball... can't ever let some one get the best of you, can you?"


I had to admit, out of all the boys... Tsuuriki seemed like the most level headed. Cong-chan was nice, but Tsuuriki was very formal and yet nice at the same time. I blushed slightly, remembering seeing his body in the Hot Springs...
" Uhh... yeah, I can bring you to my school and help you out. We can stop there first, so we dont' have to bring groceries into the school. I can show you where the Arcade and perhaps the Dojo is as well, since you seem to be interested in that sort of stuff."
He nodded as he gazed to me, "That would be great."

I nodded, fumbling around my brain for the words...until I spoke them rather quietly...
" Uhh.. look, I'm sorry Tsuuriki-chan about breaking into the hot springs like that on you. I guess... I just get a little overly short-tempered with some guys, especially when I think they might have a chance of coming across like they're peekers or perhaps all arrogant. I just don't like tolerating it much... but I'm sorry, it's no excuse for barging in like that."

I smiled slightly as I looked to him, " Let's start over. You are Tsuuriki-chan, and I'm Rainea or just Rain, or perhaps you'd call me Rain-chan, whatever your preference is it doesn't matter. Names are just names after all. By the way... do you think I could call you Riki-chan? Or Suu-chan? Everyone needs a nick name... and I think you deserve one too. Of course, if you prefer your more formal name that I s'pose that's fine. What do you think?"
I felt a little more cheerful now... talking to Tsuuriki-chan seemed to have calmed down my nerves.


(After Thargor's char answers Raine's question, I was thinking Mii-Mii, Arisu and Janice would catch up. Any other characters who want to join can hurry up and catch up to us two.)

Tsuuriki- M- 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I smiled widely at her for a moment, "Riki-chan would be fine. My mother used to call me that when I was a child, and I liked it alot..."

A dull throb punched me in the chest with those words, but I think I managed to keep my expression straight. These days I rarely thought of my parents any longer, but when I did they were usually good memories. Still, even the good ones brought the regret at having been left behind... Patting the picture of my mother tucked into my pocket, I let it go for the moment.

"So, Rain-chan, could you tell me of this school and city? I'm curious as to how things work here... I've lived most of my life on the family compound, and have had tutors for most of my education..."

"Family compound?" she asked.

"Yes, sort of a walled off area in Hokkaido that my parents, then my grandfather owned. They were pretty well off, so they thought such things were beneficial to their new life... Well, at least my parents thought that at least. My grandfather could have cared less until he had to take care of me when I was a kid."

I was embarrased about how I had lived before... Not many people understood what it was like living alone with just the adults around. Sure, I was able to occasionally see other kids while doing my activities and martial arts, but never long enough to make friends with anybody my age...

Short post to let people catch up...

Janice:

Grabbing some of my cash, I ran out of the dorm and caught sight of Rain. "Rain! Wait up!" I called as I dashed towards her. Huffing and puffing, I finally caught her, and noticed her companion. It was the guy who we had barged in on at the hot springs. Looking away from him, I muttered quietly "I'm.... I'm sorry I barged in on you, but I don't like peeping Toms.... and I guess that guy might not have done it to Arisu on purpose, but.... you know.... instincts." I looked up at him. He laughed and said "Rain's already gotten an apology for the three of you, and the forgiveness." I smiled at that. "Well, I brought my cash.... Did you guys bring any?" They both nodded. Since the conversation seemed to have died, I just looked ahead. I hadn't been much of a talker since I had found out what my parents had done to me... I was still dealing with the disbelief.

As Arisu followed Janice, BonBon suddenly skidded around the corner, somehow sensing that Arisu was going out, and began jumping up and down while barking excitedly. Arisu laguhed and swooped the dog up, cuddling BonBon in her arms.

"Does BonBon-chan want to go for a walkie?" Arisu cooed, tickling BonBon's tummy. BonBon responded by chewing on Arisu's fingers. Laughing again, she set her dog on the floor and ran towards the door, BonBon racing excitedly behind her.

"Oi, Rain-chan!" Arisu called. "Mind if I BonBon comes with us? And can we go to the arcade later? I heard that they have a new DDR machine there!" She suddenly noticed that Janice was there and with her, the guy that was in the hot springs that Arisu had barged in. She flushed as she looked at him. Suddenly, Arisu bowed.

"I'm sorry!" she exclaimed. "I really really didn't know you were there and it was probably my fault that I didn't notice the sign..." Suddenly on impulse, Arisu straightened up, stood slightly on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek. It was a short kiss, and about halway through it, Arisu realized what she was doing. She drew back, hand over her open mouth, then quickly bowed again.

"I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me!" she wailed. Dammit, what made me do that? Arisu wondered, flushing harder than ever.

Hey, everyone's out, I can't do much. ;_;

The house was pretty silent for a while. After about an hour of no explosions, barks, or loud screaming "HENTAAAAAAIII" phrases, I figured most of them were out somewhere doing something. So I decided to unlock my door and go looking around for a while. I let Pecca wander the building; she's a bit paranoid, but she knows how to defend herself (or at least, fly away really quickly). I decided to take a look around the place, and familiarize myself since I'll be inhabiting the area for a while.
The house was large, much larger than mentioned in the brochure and calculated through my computer. It did not take long until I was lost, and quite worried that I wouldn't be able to find myself back to my room. I was standing in some sort of garden, a wide assortment of plants and flowers, growing somewhat freely. I wondered if all the females had planted and raised the flowers themselves, as they were spectacular and some of them I've never seen before... maybe they can be used in some of my lab work in the future?
Suddenly the wind blew by, and a few petals from the cherry blossoms flew overhead. I heard Pecca singing happily. I immediately headed in that direction, because Pecca has a strange habit of knowing where she is at all times and occasionally I had to rely on her to get to places.
I was lead to the site of the demolished kitchen and saw her on a table, half chirping and half munching on some cereal a girl next to her was offering. Pecca was cheerfully matching the tune of the girl's song, and the girl herself seemed pre-occupied until I interrupted.
"Umm..."
"Hmm?" The girl looked up, and Pecca flew over to my shoulder. "Oh, is that your bird?"
"Sorry for letting her bother you! I promise it will not happen again!" The girl blinked. "Uh... and um... I apologize for not introducing myself! My name is Cong KaShi, and this bird who was interrupting your breakfast is named Pecca...Sorry for bothering you!"
I turned and began to run away.

Maiku

"Odd fellow, isn't he," I said to the girl at the table, popping my head back in through the kitchen hole. I had been out here, fixing up the house ever since Rainea-san suggested it.

The girl obviously didn't expect me to be there, and she jumped slightly. "Oh," she said, noticing me. "Yeah, I guess he is."

I fit another board into place and crawled inside again. "I'm Konnetsu Maiku, by the way," I said, picking up the tape.

"Calloway Shaina-Eve," she said as I fastened the board with the tape, then got another board. "I...didn't notice you there."

"I kinda know my way around this place, even the hidden passages and stuff," I said, fixing another few boards with tape. "This really did use to be a hotel. I used to love playing hide and seek with my friends who used to live around here. I was always the winner; I just knew how to stay hidden in the place. Of course, Grandma told us off for disturbing the guests, so we didn't play as often anymore..." I sighed, placing the last boards in with tape. I suddenly realized I had talked myself into silence and quickly stood up, facing Shaina-san.

"I am sorry, I sort of lost myself."

"It-it's okay," she said. "I thought it was kind of interesting, actually."

I blushed slightly. "Eh-heh, thanks...well, I better get to finishing up on the kitchen. I need to finish before the others get back from the mall and such."
