}Takara Urano{} Bloomfield High{}House of Nightshade{} Move-in & Meet{​

Urano had just been in the middle of a well put together dream. She had just finished hunting and cooking up some good ol' deer meat, like the olden inhabitants of these once-glorious lands. It was only after she settled up with a nice steamy plate of Venison when it happened. Just as her fork began its descent, the tantalizing piece of meat looked up at her and spoke:

"Hello?"

Urano immediately threw her utensils at the abomination, all traces of hunger replaced with unbridled terror as her fridge was toppled from the inside and a horde of deer meat began descending towards her.

In reality, just as the door closed behind her as of yet unseen roommate, Urano began twitching in her sudden nightmare and mumbling incoherently.

At that very moment a random first year girl noticed the taller girl and immediately approached to as for directions. The speech eventually shook Urano from her slumber... but not the dream.

The unsuspecting first year's questioning was halted as two hands gripped her shoulders and Urano's eyes bored into her own with a look of such unrelenting horror that she immediately regretted every minuscule thing she'd done to arrive at this point.

"Don't trust the food." Urano hissed as she struggled to keep her eyes open "Nature can get a hold of you even after its on the plate."

The firs year immediately wrenched herself out of the tired girl's grasp and did a 180 before dropping her stuff and bolting with panicked screams and belongings trailing behind her.

Urano yawned and rubbed her eyes before the look of horror vanished and she began letting loose a small, tired smile. She stuffed her hands back into her pockets and, with another yawn, reentered her room.

Still partially asleep, Urano completely missed the other girl and immediately shoved all of her own bags off of the bed she had rearranged earlier before flopping onto it headfirst.

It took several more seconds before she turned her head to the side to see her roommate, Urano's tired eyes roamed the other girl for a bit before she mumbled and pushed herself up to rest her head on her arms.

"You don't look like a Venison, or an Akemi." she shrugged before rolling onto her back and continuing "Guess the gods haven't forgiven me yet, but I guess its still swell to meetcha anyway... roomie."

Urano gave a tired laugh to herself at that before beginning to stretch absently on her bed.

Welcoming Ceremony
--> Move in Day ​

"Nice to meet you Luna-" Ayano's words were cut off when the taller girl leaned forward and gave her two pecks on her cheek, making her blush instantly. She grabbed her cheeks, a crimson blush coming over her expression. "Wha...Why did you do that for?" She asked, a bit embarrassed from the girl doing such thing. She wasn't accustomed to a traditional French greeting, so it caught her off guard a bit. Then the girl asked Ayano is she needed a ride home-which made the red head blink. "Uh..Sure that'd be nice." She nodded, bowing in gratitude. "Thank you so much." With the bow she stood back up and chuckled a bit. She wasn't expecting for the girl who was talking to her offer her a ride, but she was willing to take it. It would save her mother a lot of money of course.

By the time Ayano got home from the Banquet-and from stuffing her face-the sky was already very dark and her little brother was long asleep by the time she arrived. She still wasn't expecting the blonde girl to drive her home. But hey, a free rides a free ride right? Once she was in her room she didn't do her normal routine of reading manga, playing video games, or watch anime. No, it was time to get serious. Once she was in her room she started to pack for her new school-and home, trying to decide what to take and what to keep at home. By three or so in the morning Ayano already had a few boxes packed with some things-mostly clothes and was unable to even stand. She fell to her knees with a thud-a pastel varsity jacket in her hands as her face planted straight into the edge of her bed, passing out.

~The Next Day~

Around 8:20 or so, Ayano woke up to the beams of light shining through her pastel colored curtains. Looking up, she looked towards the bright light and squinted, her eyes hazy and glazed. It wasn't a second later that the girl realized she had passed out from working so hard and looked down, seeing the pastel Violet and Pink Varsity Jacket in her hands. "Ahh..I need to hurry up.." She groggily groaned, forcing herself up and looked down again, seeing she slept in the clothes she wore to the banquet. "Grrrreat." She sighed and started to slowly peel off the clothes but by bit, deciding to get into something more comfortable.

Within fifteen minutes Ayano quickly packed all the boxes she was going to take and was wearing a different outfit-consisting of of a oversized red hooded sweatshirt, a black pleaded skirt, a white tank top underneath, and dark blue tights with little symbols on them (such as yellow hearts and white stars). She had a black baseball hat she wore backwards and a pair of-fake-blue attitude glasses, along with black ankle boots. "That's everything. God I'm gonna miss this room." Ayano looked around her room, seeing most of the room she lived in most of her life-and decorated as she pleased-was almost bare. "Sis! Don't just stand there! Hurry up or you'll miss breakfast!" Her little brother Shintaro shouted, standing at the start of the staircase that led downwards. "Oh-Coming!" She shouted, running her way out of her room and downstairs.

The last breakfast she shared with her little brother and mother was sad-but sentimental. She enjoyed every last bit of eggs, bacon, pancakes, and toast her mother made for her and her little brother for the last time. She would miss the breakfast her mother made for her-or anything her mother did for her in the past. But Ayano had to remind herself she wasn't going to be gone forever. Just...for two years...At best. She reminded herself that as her mother, brother, and herself helped load her boxes into the car and head back towards her new home for the next two years....Bloomfield High.

Because of her lateness-yet again-she saw a few cars near the gates of the school, assuming most students were already inside and getting acquainted. "Curse my falling asleep lateness!" Ayano cursed under her breath, pounding on the window and acting rather dramatic. "When you're done acting dramatic would you like our help?" Her mother asked, tugging on her daughter's sleeve. Looking over at her mother, she then looked towards the doors to the main building then back at her. "Sure...but first..let me check where my dorm is okay?" she asked, getting out of the car quickly and started to jog towards the main building. "Stay there okay?!" She shouted towards her mother and younger brother, then turned to the main building.

When she arrived in the main building she blinked at the sight of all the girls present, seeing which "dorm" they were in. It appeared that Ayano had forgot that the dorms were in houses. And on top of that, there appeared to be three at best. Giving off a irritated sigh, she cracked her knuckles and stretched, before running her way into the crowd of girls shouting "Yahhhh!". When she made it to the front she looked quickly at the three rosters, skimming for her name until something came up. 'House of Nightshade. Haru Ayano and Villiers Evelyn. Second Floor.' She read quickly, giving a quick determined nod before literally leaping over a girl with great strength and bolted out of the main building back to her mother and little brother. "Alright! I know where I'm going so let's go!" She shouted with excitement, almost as if she was about to do laps from just how excited she was. "Alright..Alright..Calm down Aya-Chan. First let us get out of the car at least." Her mother chuckled, getting out of the car and helping Shintaro get out as well.

It seemed that Ayano didn't know where she was going, as she and her family walked around the campus just trying to find the Nightshade house for ten minutes. "Are you sure you really know where this Nightshade house is Aya-Chan?" Her mother asked, growing rather impatient with walking around with so many boxes. "Well I'm sorry I thought it would be-Oof!" Ayano whimpered, rubbing her forehead as the girl appeared to have ran into a wall of a rather large building-also known as the House of Nighshade. "We made it!" Shintaro yelled in happiness as a few girls around looked at him in shock and surprise. "Shh Shin-Chan!" Ayano hushed her brother and used one hand to open the double doors to the house-which was rather new and pretty looking-with her mother and little brother entering as well. The three approached a desk at the far end of the hallway to notice a 'Sign in' sign. With a inhale of determination she approached the desk that had a rather old lady behind it and set her boxes down. "Um..Hello." Ayano said in a rather nervous voice, looking back up at the old lady. "I'm..here for my key..My name is Haru. Haru Ayano." She said with a smile, her hands coming together as the old woman look her over and then back at the computer, looking up at Ayano's name out of all the incoming house of nightshade girls. "Your room is on the second floor. Your roommate has already arrived." the lady informed her, handing her key and her class schedule. "Ah. Thank you for telling me." Ayano said with a bow, placing the key and schedule on top of the boxes she was carrying and picked them up. "Let's go." She said to her family, walking towards the stairs that led to the second floor.

While the climb to the second floor was difficult, they managed to make it to where her "new room" was. Grabbing the key with one hand, Ayano opened the door to the room and entered, looking around with a small spin. The room consisted of two beds, closets for her and her roommate, two desks, a full length mirror and a love seat. "Wow.." Ayano breathlessly commented, looking all over the room as her mother and brother set her boxes down with a loud thud-getting her attention. "Ah! Sorry.." She mumbled, going over to what will be her bed (the right one apparently as the left one had two suitcases on it. "Don't worry about it. You're just amazed to see in your new dorm room for the first time." Her mother chuckled as Ayano faced her, biting her lip. "So...this is it huh?" She asked, almost as if she was about to cry. "Yep. It seems so..for the next two years.." Her mother said, her smile fading away at the thought of saying farewell to her second to last child. The family bid a tearful farewell and hugged Ayano goodbye, heading for the door as Ayano smiled and waved. "I'll promised I'll call or write! Everything's gonna be okay!" She reassured her mother and brother as they waved goodbye-smiles on their faces and closed the door, leaving Ayano in her new room all alone.

Will a sigh Ayano sat on what would be her new bed and laid down, looking at the ceiling as her baseball hat came off. So this is it huh? This is my new home for the next two years...what if I don't like it here? What if I get homesick? God I don't want to be that type of girl who cries and wants their mom to pick them up, that would be embarrassing and silly. No. That's not happening. And..I'm sure I'll like it here. Everything's gonna be fine. She thought, sitting up on her bed and pulled out her phone, seeing the time. "So...what should I do now..." She asked herself, looking out a window of the room to see a groups of students outside interacting and walking around. "I guess it should be a good idea to walk around Campus and get used to everything. "Yeah..I'll do that." She decided, turning on her heal and headed for the door-walking out of it. Leaving her room and closing the door behind it-key in her pocket of her hoodie, she glanced at the end of the corridor to see a mouse hole at the far end. Getting a closer look she inspected the hole and wondered if their was any mice in the hole. Seeing it was a new building created for a new school there was no way there was going to be mice right? Perhaps it was a mistake while making the building and it was just left there without anyone bothering to fix it. Glancing down at the hole, a smile appeared on Ayano's face as she got an idea. "This gives me a idea.." She says with determination, going back to her dorm room and returning with a [Fake] wedge of cheese on a plate, putting it not to far but close to the "mouse hole". "Knowing the mouse might one day leave it's hole and get the cheese...it fills you with determination." Ayano said aloud, walking away from the prop wedge of cheese and plate next to the "Mouse hole" and chuckled, wondering if someone might get the reference.

Luna Arianna Devereaux
Going Home + Moving In!
>> Ayano Haru >> Going Solo

Luna hadn't expected to be giving Ayano a ride home, but once she realized that the redhead had jumped from "escort to her ride" to "escort to Luna giving her a ride home", the blonde decided her offer should change to match. She didn't have an extra helmet for Ayano, but given how hard that Ayano had held on, Luna figured it wasn't that big a deal. Lucky for both, they happened to live in the same general area, only a few blocks from each other. The ride itself wasn't exactly uneventful, either. What started out as screaming from Ayano quickly turned into whooping and then giddy laughing. If Luna hadn't been almost half-deaf from her dirtbike's engine, she could've sworn Ayano had asked to go again . . . .

-+=+-​

Come the next day, Luna, well-rested with a full-night's sleep, started packing. Most of her stuff was packed already, but it didn't hurt to double check and make sure everything was in order. And also to make sure her baby cousin hadn't stuffed any souvenirs into her bag. Right-o! Clothes, all there. Probably won't need most of them anyway. Ballet stuff, yep, still there. Bleh. Uh, fencing stuff, all present, including my saber. I'll keep that on the outside of the bag. School supplies, don't really need those, but they should come in handy. That's everything of mine . . . except, wait. I can't skate, so why . . . ? Something clicked in Luna's mind, and her eyes narrowed menacingly. "RILEY LYNNE DEVEREAUX!!!!!!" she bellowed at the top of her lungs. "COME AND GET YOUR FIGURE SKATES, RIGHT NOW!!!!" Luna loved her cousin to death, but little Riley was more than a little clingy. Sometimes, too clingy. Still, the little Pipsqueak was only a year away from high school, so maybe Luna could find some way of getting Riley recruited into Bloomfield someday? The school didn't cover the Freshman year like most schools did, though, so Riley might have to skip a grade or two.

Luna pushed that line of thought out of her head as her little brunette cousin tearfully collected the skates. "Come on, Pipsqueak," Luna encouraged with a sigh. "No crying. You can visit on the weekends." She placed her hands on Riley's shoulders and stood, revealing why her cousin had earned the nickname "Pipsqueak" in the first place: Riley stood in at five feet even, six inches shorter than Luna. "And hey, you can ask Mum and Dad to take you to the ice rink every once in a while. That's close to Bloomfield." She placed a kiss on her cousin's forehead, ruffling up little Riley's hair. "See ya later, Pipqueak." Luna collected her stuff and tried to ignore her cousin's bawling as she loaded up her dirtbike with the massive bag and started it up, racing off towards Bloomfield.

-+=+-
​

By the time Luna arrived at the school, the campus was crowded. Some girls were lugging around suitcases twice their size while others still had already found friends to connect with in the middle of the courtyard. Luna's focus, though, was on the bulletin board across the way. Judging from the grouping, that was where everyone was collecting their dorm room and roommate assignments. Deciding that to be the case, Luna hefted her bag, grabbed her saber, and walked over to the board. When she arrived, she weaved her way through the girls and took a close look at the list of second years. Not finding her name at a glance, she took her saber and ran the pommel down the list until she found her name. "Luna Arianna Devereaux," she read. "Roommate: Jaelynn . . . Something Or Other, room: 103. Right. Off I go!" And off she went, unconcerned about any glances directed her way.​

Usagi Ogawa: @Myka
​

Nori watched as Usagi examined her uniform and then turned to towards her side of the dorm to finish organizing her closet. She'd put most of her things away already, she just had to finish hanging up the remainder of her clothes that hadn't fit in the dresser. When she was finished, she looked at her alarm clock on the nightstand and was relieved to see that it was still before noon. Perhaps she could make it to the stables to check on Yoru before lunch. Thankfully, she still had the campus map she'd taken from the main building since she wasn't exactly sure where the stables were from her dorm. She could always go back to the main building, but that would take extra time.

Lavender eyes glanced back at Usagi as Nori sat down on her bed, she'd had almost forgotten the girl was there she was so quiet. Something she was pleased about. "So, Usagi, What year are you in? I'm in my second." Although Nori didn't usually make snap assumptions, she thought that Usagi had to either be in her year or first. She didn't didn't look like a third year, but she could be wrong. ​

N A T S U K O ♣ "Natsu" ♣ H A M A S A K I
Wary | Bloomfield Academy - Lotus House (Dorm Room) | @Sailor Moon / Delilah Hachimitsu

[bg=white]

Natsuko blinked owlishly as Delilah curtsied in replace of her handshake. It most definitely caught the redhead off guard. Who curtsied nowadays? She pursed her lips as her eyes narrowed slightly. Already she was wary of her roommate. Just from that one simple action, she was getting a...snobbish vibe from her. I don't wanna jump to conclusions and say that we wont get along, but I don't think this is going to be a smooth ride, she thought. She was snapped out of her analysis when a question was directed towards her. Seeing how Delilah was unpacking her things, she thought to do the same whilst making small talk. It was a good time to get to know one another a bit more.

"Actually," Natsu began as she unzipped the suitcase that had her clothes in it, "I'm a second year orchestra student." She began to take out her clothes and put them in her respective drawers, or hang them up in her closet. "It's cool that we're both here for Fine Arts," she stated with a smile. "What kind of dancing do you do?" She questioned, keeping the conversation going. For some odd reason, she imagined that Delilah was more into ballet, or something like contemporary dance. She thought about the two of them performing together—her with her beloved viola and Delilah dancing to whatever melody she produced. Maybe it was something they could do later on. She believed that it would turn out to be a lot of fun.

Akemi Venison-First Day-Moving in.
Interaction: @GrieveWriter

Akemi looked up suddenly hearing the sound of her roommate's voice. "Nice to meet you too." She laughed at her comment slightly not knowing exactly what to say about her last name. She smiled and looked over at her sitting down on her own bed playing with her hair and pulling it up in a high pony tail. "Have you explored the campus yet. And what year are you?" Akemi gave a Curt little smile and sat there quietly waiting for a response to her question.

The young girl was rather curious about her roommate pulling out a drawing pad she began to draw the room. It looked like two different realms mainly because they were two completely different people and she could see that already. Her eyes flicked towards the door before she turned back to her drawing pad to continue drawing ​

Move in Day!

Usagi Ogawa >> Bloomfield High >> Nightshade Dorms
saberwolf : Eshima Nori

Usagi was pleased with the look of the uniform, she loved the cool look it had to it and she was excited to try it on already. She hugged it tightly before quickly releasing it once she realized that she was probably wrinkling it. She hurried to the bathroom and threw on the uniform before eyeing herself closely in the mirror. It fit her nicely, unlike her outfit from yesterday, they did a great job making the uniforms the correct measures. She always had problems finding clothes that fit her well, they always hang a bit loosely on her but luckily the uniform fit perfectly.

Once she was satisfied with the look, Usagi changed back into her clothes and brought it back into her closet. She turned to watched Nori finish up the last bit of unpacking, then looked at her stuff which still sat untouched by the side of her bed. Rolling her sleeves up, Usagi made her way over to her bags and began setting things in her place. By the time she had finished her first bag, the calm voice of her roommate startled her. Taken by surprise by the sudden question, Usagi slightly jumped, dropping whatever she had in her hand "Oh, uhhh I'm in my first year" she let out a nervous laugh then bent down to pick up her things.

As she picked up what she dropped, she glanced over at Nori, she knew that Nori definitely looked and acted mature so she wasn't surprised to hear that she was older. She looked back down at her things, feeling slightly flustered, as the thought of rooming with a senpai such as Nori. Standing back up, she held her things tightly by her chest as she tried to calm her nerves. While still slightly panicking in her mind, she knew she had to say something to try and overcome the awkward silence she had just created "S-so… What, were you accepted for the school especially for?" she tried going over a few options in her head that Nori might've been accepted for, though it didn't really work out well because it could've been for anything.​

Delilah Hachimitsu

​

A hint of disbelief flashed across Delilah's face as Natsu corrected her, and said that she was second year student at Bloomfield. The red-haired girl was so little, that she was sure they were in the same grade. "Ah..." She managed to say softly. She couldn't exactly say that Natsuko had been lying, especially since they were both small people, and Delilah would be turning sixteen in just a few months.

Standing up, Delilah walked over to her bed and began dressing it with a vibrant, fruit themed bedroom set. She tossed on a few fruit shaped decorative pillows for good measure, as well. When asked about her dancing, a smile graced her lips. She walked over to one of her suitcases to unpack some clothes. "Ballet - Can't you tell?" She jested, though she did wonder if Natsuko really couldn't tell. Probably not... Delilah knew she wasn't the image most people often got when they thought of skilled ballet dancers. "I also perform contemporary, it's not as strict, which is so nice at times." Delilah blushed suddenly, realizing she was close to rambling about herself. She would talk non-stop about her passion for dance if given the opportunity - It was one of the few things she wasn't too reserved about.

"You said you're in Orchestra, right? I've always loved the deep sound of the cello," Delilah said, the red fading on her cheeks to a very subtle tint as she shifted the attention from herself, and onto Natsuko. "Which instrument do you play?" She asked, guessing in her mind that it was the violin.

[fieldbox= , #88cdca, solid, 10, trebuchet MS] Evelynn Janna Villiers Bloomfield High Moving In & Getting Comfy
Birb - Tsubomi Yuzuki
[/fieldbox]
​

Eve gave a frown at the image reflected in the mirror. Her eyes were quick to lock onto every inch of the newly acquired uniform, easily judging and allowing her to form her own conclusions just as quick as her eyes darted here and there, almost nonstop. The raven haired girl had gently set her black jacket hanging off the knob of the shared washroom, along with her form fitting pants that is, as she shimmied into the overly classy, but appealing [nonetheless], house uniform. Out of all the outrageous things she's had to fit herself into, the one she had found in the closet of the dorm was easily the best and most well receieved one yet. For starters, it had been much better, and so much easier on the eyes than the white ensemble, it was black, or at least dark enough to appease the raven haired girl's tastes in clothing. Secondly, the skirt wasn't too atrocious. If it were a hot sunny day, she could see herself considering to wear the thing as it wasn't too frilly, or wide, or childlike. If she pinned it just right, surely, it could take on a much more scandalous look?

That being said, it wasn't something that she'd try today. With a final look roaming over the dark blouse with modestly accented golden strips, Eve unbuttoned the blouse and set it neatly on the toilet seat, the pants following after a few minutes. It took the raven haired girl just a few minutes longer than necessary to shrug back into the more comforting clothes she had arrived in this morning. Looking into the mirror, Eve gave her reflection a final check over before nodding to herself. Reaching over to grab one of the uniform sets, Eve made her way silently out the door, and was in for a surprise when she took a step back into the main room.

Blinking, Eve immediately noticed a few key differences in the room. Someone, or a few people, had obviously been in the room. Her stuff didn't seemed to have been tampered with, so it wasn't some thief, judging by some of the boxes, it seemed that her roommate had already made a quick stop by the room. Slightly embarrassed, Eve moved back to her closet, hanging the uniform back onto the hanger while she tried her best not to think about how she had been a tad too occupied checking herself out to hear the additional people entering the room - a mere door away. At least it didn't seem like she was in the room now, so that was one horrible first impression avoided, she thought herself, with a bitter smile as she closed the doors softly.

Fishing her phone out once more, Eve glanced at the time before she smiled. Making her way over the bed, she dug into the side pockets and carefully pulled out a pair of charms. With a shark like grin, the raven haired girl pulled up to her full height once more, her phone, keys, and charms, in hand as strolled out of the room. She locked the door quickly before making her way down to the end of the hall, greeting some of the more open and friendly of families, smiling to those who just made their way in, and were heaving their belongings up the stairs. When she made her way out of the Nightshade House Dorm, the first thing Eve noticed was the change in the air. Smiling, she lifted her head skywards, drawing in a huge breath ...

... only to choke on the air as the smell of the flowers filtered in. Giving a small glare at the offending decorations, Eve made it a point to stride past the colorful blur altogether without so much as a second look as she began for her little search. Humming as she went along, Eve had the time to admire the view of not only the Nightshade House but also the other two who looked no different - to her at least - but felt worlds apart nonetheless. It was a bit disturbing to feel such a thing though ... it was way too deep, and for such a dumb thing too. Fearing that the pre-summer heat may be getting to her, Eve tugged the zipper of the jacket down, lowering it until her collarbones were well exposed, the zipper lying just on the swell of her chest. It may have been a little too much for a mid-April day, what with her semi-exposed midriff already, but it was like what she told herself this morning: she might as well get away with what she can before she submitted herself to the dark uniform weekday schedule. After a rather peaceful walk, which had soothed the nerves and previous irritation, Eve spotted a familiar body walking ... in a general direction that lead to the Nightshade dorm. Squinting a bit, Eve only grinned as she quickly recognized the oncoming person.

Tossing most of her items into one hand, Eve held a certain charm alone in her right hand. Standing in what could possibly be one of her most arrogant stances, Eve tilted her head as the figure in the distance came close enough; within a safe distance. "Oi! Tsubomi, looking for something?" she teased the other girl, knowing that the two had - sadly - been placed in different houses, it was totally heartwarming to find the other wandering around looking for her though. Feeling that enough warning and pause had been given, Eve winded her arm and tossed the charm high into the air, a throw that would be easy for somebody like Tsubomi - or just about anybody - to catch. Looking down at her own charm, she looped it around her finger, showing off her own charm once the other girl had caught her own. ​

Bloomfield High - Pretty much the entire school - Lotus House
Interaction - left open

Sera Petrov

Sera departed from her old friend upon arriving at the school, smiling as she watched her walk away, before putting in her headphones and heading towards her own house (she had already picked up her schedule and key because I forgot to put that in when I wrote this earlier, oops!) Or rather, she thought she was heading towards her own house. In actuality, she was heading towards the Gymnasium. When she got there, she was given directions by a sempai, and finally found her true destination. Or so she thought; for she was really somewhere on the top floor of the school building. She took a moment out to admire this achievement - it was a new level for her wanderings to get so dramatically lost.

Around half an hour after she would have been there had she gone directly, and after discovering some surprisingly out-of-the-way nooks and crannies of the campus, Sera eventually did find the Lotus House. She beamed when she saw the sign, and stepped inside, removing her headphones. She took them out before unplugging them, so a song's baseline could be heard for a couple of seconds afterward. She didn't really feel like getting lost again, so she called out "Excuse me! I'm Sera Petrov, a freshman in this house?"

Hanako Fujimata > Fujimata Manor > Bloomfield High > Her Dorm >
Interaction: Open

​

Thunderous clatter rang against the vast outside space as Hana whipped by in a quickening gallop atop of Iris. Her long black mane matched by that of Hana's whipped against the breeze as they rounded around the white picket fence that enclosed the training ring.. This is where she could spend the rest of her time and days.. Sadly , that wasn't how life worked whatsoever. Her fingers fastened tighter against the reins as she turned Iris around the bend as the rounded towards the final remaining jump. Her eye's fell into an intense focus as words fell soft from her lips. " Come on , Girl.. We can do this." Iris huffed loudly as Hana leaned down close to her. She gave the reins a flick as they drew in close.. Before she could even blink they were soaring. Well , if anything that was how she had pictured soaring always. With a loud thud they met the ground once more as the large post sticks remained settled in their spots. She glanced over her shoulder at her trainer , Elizabeth as she applauded for the once again flawless practice routine. Hana couldn't help but let a smile break softly against the crimson red of her lips as she felt her heart soar higher and higher at the simple praise. She was about to set Iris into another gallop only to hear a voice come to echo behind that of Eliza. She honestly didn't have to spare a single glance to confirm the echoing voice of that of her father.. He had changed so much since that of her mother's death in a matter of months.. He had become colder and far more distant to that of her. Some said it was due the obvious fact of looking exactly like that of her mother. Others would go about claiming that he didn't want to be close to the last reminded he had of his angelic , Lilliana. She drew back slowly upon the reins as her father made a bee line towards her followed by that of his precious security entourage." Here we go again.." She muttered softly under her breath as her father motioned for someone to take Iris away.. Hana was in no mood to argue and with that she slid with graceful ease down from the saddle to the ground below her.


She stepped forward as the stableboy gathered Iris and led her away to the stables for a brushing before being loaded upon the trailer to begin their new life at Bloomfield. Her father motioned for her to follow him as she gave a light nod of her head before proceeding forth behind him as one hand came to hold against her hip as the other swung freely at her side. They spent but a few moments in silence before her father began to at last speak." Now my girl , listen to me.. This is your final schooling year before you enter the higher society of adulthood. I wish all but the best for you and I know full well that you will be brilliant at Bloomfield. It is by far a most excellent way to go about finishing your schooling years before attending the University and readying for your forthcoming marriage." At those very words , she chose t briefly tune him out before she grew more sickened. The thought of being Hiro's bride was already well... Detestable? She was sure she could think up a few more off the top of her head to describe him and his ways.. Her eye's all but clouded before hearing the snap of fingers before her face as her father looked upon her in a stricken manner." I know how greatly you hate the idea of this marriage but it is for the greater good of the company.. You wouldn't want to disappoint your mother now would you?" Her eye's came to settle upon his as she bit her lower lip in a frustrated maneuver. He brought her up each time to lay the guilt down upon her.. He knew this was the quickest way to extinguish her rebellious tongue and thoughts. The best way to make her feel the most guilt. Her eye's slowly softened in surrender as she nodded slowly." Of course not , Father.. My duty is my duty as always." Her father all but smiled warmly as he gave her a steady pat atop the head for her obedience.. The father she had known was very much so gone and a shadow of one she no longer knew stood before her." Now go ready yourself to go , the car shall be awaiting out front for you. " She nodded her head as her silver locks swept forward over her face. Her father departed as she all but huffed before swinging her hair back in a cascading sweep over that of her shoulders as she proceeded to march back off to the Manor's walls and towards that of a brighter future and a new chance.

An hour or so later , she came down the winding staircase of the manor as the maids , butler's and varying staff lined up to bid her goodbye as they bowed their heads in respect to their young mistress. She couldn't resist allowing a warm smile to come to hold against her lips as she proceeded forth. Minami stepped forth and gave Hana her purse and messenger bag. As she was about to pass through the door's their cheery voices rang clearly." Best of wishes , Young Madam!" Her smile all but remained in tack before walking with a sway out the door and into the opened car awaiting her.. To finally take her to Bloomfield for her final chance at one amazing school year to come.. Away from her father and that of Hiro himself. A second chance before her world she cherished came falling down upon her.. Her mother had been the only one who could stop all her father's plotting.. But , what is gone is gone.


Passing cars , parks , scenery and skyscrapers fell upon her gaze when at last Bloomfield was brought into her line of vision as her brilliant colored one's locked upon it as they widened just a tad. It was beautiful.. Just as she had pictured it at the final stages over and over again. She nodded to the front where the driver was as he slowed down as he entered the ring of car's gathered close to the front entryway. She glanced out the tinted window at the crowds of girls moving about as they all went about finding their way to their dorms. She had never been a major fan of throwing herself into a growing crowd but , this time she didn't mind the sea of sweet faces gathered. Hana watched as her driver eased quickly out from the car as he came around and swiftly drew her door open as the warmth of the sun kissed her skin once more. She gave her uniform skirt a brush off as it played dangerously against her thighs as she maneuvered her way slowly out of the car. She could feel the stares upon her as a few girl's giggled at the very sight of her. She couldn't honestly understand why they did that when she came about.. She swung her hair over her shoulders as the silk ribbon within it swayed atop her hair. At that , she smiled softly to the girls as she held her bags infront of her. She had to of course put her best face on... New school and nothing but the best behavior she would have to try and have.

She proceeded forward as her short skirt swayed with the breeze with each given step she took. She recognized a few younger girls gathered about.. They had been First Year's back at Rosewood and now they were here as Second year's. She moved forward with a sway in her step as she shot her smile their way as a light commanding sense held to her eye's." A pleasure to see you all here." They smiled softly as they erupted in giggles before delivering back a form of hello throughout their giggling process. Hana all but chuckled softly to herself as she entered the dormitory building as she went off in search of her room. After a few minutes she came to find her room with all of her bags stacked neatly on the floor before that of her bed. The room seemed empty which meant perhaps she was first to arrive before her roommate? She would be lying to herself if she didn't admit she was curious to meet the girl she had been paired up with.. She wasn't picky but in general it would be nice to have someone who liked things like her and that she could pull down her mask around. In that moment , she dropped her bags light atop the chair before tucking her cell into her skirt pocket as the strap hung out with a small pink puffball at the end. She might as well unpack before exploring and if she got lucky she would get to meet someone.. It would make for a brighter day to begin things for sure. The beginning of a new friendship and this chance at freedom. She leaned down over her bed as she began to sort through her suitcase's as her body swayed slowly back forth as Hana hummed her favorite song lightly to go about passing the dull adventure of unpacking.. Unpacking was the worst.

At some point she was going to have to run off and see how Iris was settled into the stables.. She couldn't resist that and would take that over unpacking , she thought to herself.

Bloomfield High - Entrance to the school

​

"Attention passengers. We will be arriving at our final destination in 15 minutes" rang the automated voice of the train as it rattled and moved along the track through the city. It was quite empty since most others had gotten off at their stops previously. Naomi held her suitcase close beside her as she kept answering worried text messages from her parents about how proud they were, how they would miss her and they would remind her about daily routines. "Now arriving at our final stop" rang the voice again as the train slowly came to a stop after what seemed to be a short amount of time too. Naomi stood up walking out of the train doors as she made her way down the steps of the station and into the street with her suitcase travelling behind her.

"Yes yes I know, we just talked about this!" Giggled Naomi as her parents now began frequently calling her as she walked down the quiet road with the occasional passerby and vehicle going the opposite way "Oops, gotta go! Love you too!" She smiled as she slipped her phone back into her pocket and stood outside the school gates taking in the site of Bloomfield. Her eyes lit up as her heart pounded in her chest just thinking of the new school and all the endless possibilities it held within its walls.

Taking a moment to compose herself, she smiled and started heading through the gates as her suitcase wheeled its way through with her as she approached the main building heading to the front desk as instructed in her phone call a couple days ago. There she would find her house she would be placed in and given her room key. Heading inside she gave her ID and name to the receptionist for identification before she was confirmed and given her room key. Giving a polite nod and bow she left the office heading over to her designated dorm area.

​

"This should...be it!" She smiled stopping outside her door area as she slipped the key into the lock and opened the door into her living area. The fresh smell of a cleaned and new room filled her nostrils as she took a deep breath taking it all in. Stepping inside closing the door behind her she headed to her room while taking in the surroundings of the dorm. She placed her suitcase on the foot of her bed as she caught sight of her roommate on the opposite bed "Oh, hey there! Guess I'm not the first one here" she giggles and smiles kindly to the girl "I'm Naomi Holmes, pleased to meet you" she bowed kindly before moving to the wardrobe to open the doors and see her new uniform.

Needless to say that Naomi let out a giddy silent squeal of happiness as she took the uniform out carefully taking in the fine detail, craftsmanship and fabrics used. She sighed happily holding it close before looking to the girl again blushing a little "hehe...sorry, I'm just a little giddy if it wasn't that obvious already" she giggles shyly again rubbing the back of her head while holding her uniform in her right hand.

​

Nori nodded as Usagi answered her question and she watched the girl pick up the object she'd dropped. It was a bit comical to see someone get so flustered after being asked a question. Nori had never really seen herself as intimidating, but she knew her personality could be. Maybe she'd try and be a bit little nicer towards Usagi so she could feel more comfortable. The only problem was, Nori wasn't exactly sure on how to do that. Her tutors had always taught her to be proud, quiet, and polite. So that's how she'd grown up, never outwardly showing much emotion towards anyone except her family. It was just easier that way. But since this was her first time at a boarding school, maybe she'd have to adapt to the situations, especially having a roommate.

"I was accepted to Bloomfield to fence." Nori answered as she stood and stretched her arms over her head with a sigh. She turned towards Usagi before she spoke again. "I was going to get accepted for horseback riding too, but that's more of a recreational sport than competitive for me. And I have better success in fencing. What about you? Do you participate in any sports?"

Interaction: @MusicalMegLove ​

Urano narrowed her eyes and hummed at her roommates response before dawning another grin and rising from her bed "Nope, figured I'd be able to do my aimless wandering after power napping for a bit." she tilted her head and placed a hand on her chin as she realized something and glanced upwards "But now that I think about it, with how tired I am I'd probably sleep the whole day away and not get anything done."

At her roommate's second question, Urano chuckled before giving a thumbs up and a tired wink "Takara Urano, Second-Year extraordinaire and a one woman fun brigade. I could go on about how lucky you are that you got stuck with lil ol' me instead of someone else, but one recommendation in my personal guidebook, Urano's Understandings, is to show with my radical actions and not just the touchy feely stuff that most people prefer."

At that statement, Urano's tired grin grew as she steadied herself and made for the door "Come on, Vinnie, mind if I call you Vinnie?" she paused and turned around for a split-second before laughing to herself and shaking her head "Oh who am I kidding, we both know that I'll find a perfect nickname by the end of the day, Deery."

She chuckled at the horribly tasteless pun before motioning towards the door "Come on, let's see how much we can do before I pass out due to the extremely unhealthy levels of sleep deprivation I am totally suffering through with the most hardcore of dignities."

"The bunny on the moon with no rice cakes."[/fieldbox]

​

It took her a while to even get out of the building with more students and parents passing through the building than earlier this morning. She did her best to dance out of a person's way, and when she couldn't do that, she quickly slipped under the boxes. At one point she even had to crab walk under the fire alarm because she couldn't move out the way in time. That earned her some strange looks which clearly questioned her sanity. But the salmon pink haired girl liked to think that she looked pretty cool. Like a spy.

...Okay. She's never heard of a spy with a rabbit themed hoodie.

'But,' she mused a while later while fingering the dark fabric of the rabbit ears on her hood just a few feet away from the House of Lotus. 'I guess I can start a new trend or trope. Bunny eared spies. ...Maybe I can rope Eve into joining my 'revolution'?' Lips curving up into a sly yet silly grin at the passing thought, Tsubomi cheerfully skipped her way to the House of Nightshade.

Already, the heavy thoughts of anxiety and loneliness from just moments ago were pushed far back as she filled her mind with a whirlwind of plans and little inside jokes.

She was walking and checking her phone for Eve's room placement (which was pretty dangerous during such a busy day, now that she thought about it), when she heard a familiar voice call out to her in their usual teasing tones. Before she could wave cheekily, seconds later, said voice tossed something at her from the corner of her eye. Barely thinking before acting, the girl easily caught the object with her right hand before curiously looking at the cute little charm that was staring right back at her.

It was the most adorable little thing she's ever laid her eyes on. And no she wasn't being bias. Probably. But really, the cute roundness of the little charm's cheeks almost made her want to eat it. Almost. But not quite. It was too cute to eat...and wasn't edible. The inedible part was probably the most important if she wanted to be honest with herself...

Glancing up to look at her much taller friend, Tsubomi grinned only to grin even wider at the sight of the matching charm in Eve's hand. She waved at the taller girl with her new charm in hand before recklessly dashing past any passerby like the wind. Without pause, the salmon pink haired girl practically flew to plow into her friend with an affectionate yet almost deadly force.

Squeezing (or choking) the dark haired girl while smiling with bright eyes, Tsubomi chattered and cooed with excitement. "Eve! Eve! Thank you~! You're the BEST! It'sTHEmostawesomelittlethingever.Howdidyouevenknow?! OhwaitdidIputthatinmymessage? Idon'tremember. Probablydid. Andohyes,IknewtherewasareasonwhyIlovedyou.

Move in Day!

Usagi Ogawa >> Bloomfield High >> Nightshade Dorms
saberwolf : Eshima Nori

Placing what she was carrying down onto her desk, she began organizing her things while listening to Nori speak. After hearing that Nori was recruited for sports, such as fencing and horseback riding, Usagi stopped what she was doing and turned to face her roommate "Is that so? So you're an athlete! You must be really good at what you do" she said and leaned back against her desk. Well of course she had to be good if she was accepted into Bloomfield dummy, she thought to herself then quickly turned away and walked towards her luggage. She started unpacking her clothes when Nori asked whether she participated in sports "Sadly not, i've never been in any type of sports" Usagi got up and headed towards her dresser with an arm full of clothes "Though I really enjoy watching those who do, it's pretty inspirational, i'd hope to try it out sometime... hopefully" she added and let out a light laugh as she bent down in front of the dresser.

Beginning to fold and stow away her clothes in the drawer, Usagi smiled at what she was about to say next "I was actually accepted here to be a part of the choir" she stood up and fixed the strap to her overalls that constantly kept falling, maybe she should get changed into something else. Her large green eyes rested on her roommate and her gaze softened "It may not seem much, but I was very happy to hear I was accepted because of my singing" slowly walking back to her bed, her mind drifted to thought of singing in the choir.

She imagined how magical it'll be like, she was excited to be part of such an environment and was determined to do her part beautifully. Though many people wouldn't guess so at first, they get completely surprised when they hear Usagi perform, she seemed like a complete different person. This also happens when people witness her in theater, they don't expect her to act so clearly as she does. Once she get's into the heat of a game, she does it spectacularly, many would know this especially after witnessing a game of cards with her... now this is a complete surprise and interesting to watch.

Bringing her hand up to her hair, Usagi fixed her flower hair pin as she remembered how proud her sister and parents were when she told them "I also did a little bit of theater back in middle school, it was really fun and I met a lot of nice people so I also decided to part take in that while i'm here" she grinned nervously at what she said last. She knew she didn't exactly give off the right vibe of someone being into something as dramatic as theater, but she believes that it brings out the best of her, something she's been looking to enhance for a long time now. Realizing she had trailed off, Usagi snapped back to the current mood "Oh s-sorry, I didn't mean to ramble on" she waved her hands out in front of her as she spoke. She was sure Nori had some plans arranged, surely Nori would rather check up on the fencing arena or her horse than listen to her roommate babble.​

Surprised/Shocked → Passionate → Excited | Bloomfield Academy - Lotus House (Dorm Room) | @Sailor Moon / Delilah Hachimitsu

[bg=white]

Natsuko had finished putting up her clothes and was in the middle of decorating her bed with the cute cloud bedspread she bought with her when Delilah answered her question. A surprised gasp escaped her lips as she set the pillow in her hands down, whipping around to face the first year. "Really? You honestly do ballet and contemporary?" She asked rhetorically. She couldn't believe it! "Those are the exact things I had put you for! Wow, talk about freaky," she rambled, eyes twinkling with awe. You'd think she just discovered a rare species, or something along that matter with how excited she was. "I can't believe that I was right," she mumbled. She turned back to her bed when Delilah shined the light on her. A dreamy look overtook her features as she started to talk about her own passion.

"Ah, I happen to play the viola. It's my first and only instrument as of right now," the redhead stated. "I wouldn't mind learning others down the line, but the viola will always have a special place in my heart," she gushed. Suddenly, an idea hit her—hard. "You know what would be really cool? Us performing together! Can you imagine how beautiful it'll be? With your dancing skills and my music ones, I bet our performances would be unforgettable. In a good way, of course." The second year was beaming brightly, just radiating optimism and cheerfulness. She was like the Sun in a way.

Asuna Strauss
Move in day
​

Asuna laid in her bed as she contiuned to mess around on her phone and wait for her roommate. Sure Asuna wanted to walk around her house and around the campus to see where everything was but she wanted to meet her roommate first. She would feel bad if her roommate saw all of asunas stuff there but Asuna herself wasn't there to meet her. Soon enough she heard her door opened and looked up and smiled. That is when she saw her roommate walk in and she was very pretty which made Asuna smile even more.

Asuna got up off her bed after she heard her roommate introduce herself " Hi Naomi, I'm Asuna. Asuna Strauss it's a pleasure to meet you." Asuna then walked over to her table and sat down on the chair in front of it. She giggled a little at how giddy Naomi was. "It's completely fine Naomi I think every girl here is very excited to be here, I know I am. I guess I just don't show it like you do." Asuna giggled again as she smiled. "So do you want to unpack first or do you want to go take a look around the campus with me? I wanted to wait until you got here to see if you wanted to explore with me."

Delilah Hachimitsu
Bloomfield High - Lotus House Dorms
Natsu-chan - @Kitsune

Delilah was pleased to hear that Natsuko played the Viola. The viola was lower than the violin, and much easier on the ears in her opinion. It was no cello, of course, but Delilah was confident she would grow to love it if Natsuko was skilled enough. She could sense the passion radiating off of the red-headed girl as she spoke, so Delilah could only guess that Natsuko was good at what she did. Who would brag about something they're horrible at?

"That's really nice, Natsu-chan. Maybe I'll hear you play sometime?" Delilah replied, continuing to move about the room with her decorations. She was taking advantage of her wedge sandals, and hanging up the curtains in the center window. Delilah had to admit that their room was coming together nicely, the cloud comforter set that Natsuko had complimented their dorm in a nice way. She smiled, imagining some other things she could get for their room, like a nice rug, to tie things together better. She actually wondered how upset Natsuko would be if she got rid of the cloud print blanket in favor of something to match her bed, but she went with her better judgement and kept her thoughts to herself.

Delilah hummed very quietly to herself, listening as Natsuko continued to speak, though it sounded more like background noise to her. When Natsuko brought up performing together, Delilah stopped what she was doing and really listened to what her roommate was saying. It wasn't difficult to picture the two of them performing together - Delilah dressed in something beautiful and natural, and Natsuko with her Viola. She turned to face Natsuko, green eyes sparkling as the vision played out in her mind. "That would be amazing, Natsu-chan. I can see it now..." The plum-haired girl was almost overwhelmed with the idea of dancing to a tune played just for her. "We would be the stars of our own show." A thought then crossed her mind, causing her attention to go to their small living space with a thoughtful look. "We'll need to find the perfect place for it, though. Maybe there's some place on campus we could do it? Some place with a lot of beautiful flowers, that looks nice at night."

"Now that I mention it...we should take a break from decorating and take a good look around campus, don't you think?" Delilah said, smiling softly and blinking cutely at Natsuko.

Naomi Holmes and Asuna Strauss @timv999
​

Naomi smiles and rubs the back of her head with a giggle "that's very kind of you Asuna! I wouldn't of minded either way really if you explored without me" she says sitting on her bed looking at her uniform with a giddy smile and glint in her eye "I couldn't attend the banquet the other day as I had to pack and schedule my train journey. 2 trains in one day would be drained me before I arrived" she smirks again sighing happily and looking to her case at the end of her bed "Unpacking can wait. We'll have plenty of time in the evening to do so. Right now I'll just slip into this and we can explore if you like ? Excuse me a moment" Naomi giggles taking the uniform and opening one of the wardrobe doors using it as a makeshift changing cover for now to hide herself.

Naomi took her time slipping into the outfit keeping her clothes in a neat pile beside her while she changed. Naomi felt like she was brand new as soon as the uniform touched her skin. A new life, new school and new people! She soon emerged from behind the door of the wardrobe placing her old clothes on her case as she smiled and looked down at herself in the Rose uniform. "How do I look, Asuna ?" The girl chuckles shifting the uniform making it more snug and fit around her body while also subtly pushing her bust up a little. "I can't help but just feel so new! I've dreamed of this kind of chance and here I am! One of the biggest and prestigious schools around!" She giggles giddly once more looking and smiling to Asuna as she sits down on her bed for the moment.

"So how was the banquet yesterday ? Believe me I wanted to attend but I've already said why" she smiles rubbing the back of her head shyly again with a gentle blush tinting her cheeks. She gently reaches into her old coat pocket taking her phone placing it to the side as it gently kept buzzing now and then with frantic text messages "heh...my parents can worry a lot sometimes as you can hear" Naomi looks over to see Asuna had one too! Seems these girls would get along just fine in the coming years afterall.

Luna Arianna Devereaux
House of Rose Dorm Room -> Garden
No One Around?

After accepting her ID and keycard from the dorm's front desk, Luna made her way down the hall towards her room. She'd never seen this particular ordering scheme before, which made things confusing. Supposedly, her room should have been the third door down the hall, but as luck would have it, Luna had taken the wrong hall, and so she ended up having to go all the way around and back. When she did reach her room, and went in, Luna found the room to be virtually empty. Nobody had been here prior to her. "Where's my roommate?" she muttered softly to herself. There were the standard two beds, of course, and a closet for both to share (with a few uniforms inside for student use), but there was nothing on either bed, nothing in the bathroom, and nothing in the closet save for the uniforms.

None of that really caused Luna any concern, though. Right now, her only concern was which bed to take, and by extension, which side of the room. After thinking on it for a minute, she decided to take the bed closest to the bathroom. In the long run, it didn't really matter that much, so why not? With that out of the way, Luna hoisted her bag up onto her new bed and promptly sat down next to it. What to do, what to do . . . . I know! She immediately stood back up and moved to the closet. Picking out one of the uniforms with a thigh-length skirt, Luna quickly set about to changing. Since it seemed like nobody else was going to show up, why stick around?

-+=+-
​

After leaving her room, Luna had taken to wandering. Admittedly, she hadn't exactly decided on where to go except for the fact that she needed to stay on campus, but after aimlessly walking around, she decided that the garden was as good a place to go as any. If only so she could relax on one of the stone benches. The scent of the flowers was only stifling if she got too close, and they smelled good regardless, enough so that despite slouching on the bench, Luna found herself nodding off, her saber held across her chest.​
