"Looks like we will sleep in our own bedrooms," Kin muttered as Ms. Milaia finished, squeezing his sister's shoulder. She had been very fidgety the whole way to the Moon Dorm and it was a waste of energy trying to keep the little ball of energy running off to go talk to the teacher or one of the students. Knowing how people treated them, the poor students would be tongue-tied. Kin wasn't too happy with the arrangements, but thankfully the walk to her bedroom was shorter than the one back home in the Shirabuki estate. She wouldn't be too scared by herself, and she could always come to see him.
He was in Suite 5, Masaru would be living in Suite 4. He murmured his thanks to the teacher before guiding his sister towards the staircase, admiring the worksmanship of the carving. It was beautifully made and somewhat ironic, comparing vampires - creatures of blood - to the color white. But he could only assume they went with the moon motif. He wondered how long it would take for these walls to be stained, since there were no rules on blood taking among vampires. "Masaru-chan, are you going to go for Dorm President?" he asked her curiously. "You would make a cute president, Father did say you need to learn leadership skills." As a Shirabuki heiress, she could be nothing less. Kin looked about for his suite on the upper floor, pacing down the hallway with his sister in tow until he spotted a door with a golden number nailed upon it, its brass handle and keyhole glimmering in the brightly lit halls. What did the suites look like?
As Kin pushed open the door, he was greeted with the site of a very fancy looking room. It was similar to home, but it felt less restrictive. A plush four poster bed with royal red hangings, golden embroidery and tassels sat in the corner in the shadows. Tables carved from rich wood and polished until it shone along with chairs, a comfortable looking velvet sofa and a small fireplace with a shelf were things could be placed upon. Soft rugs with intricate patterns were laid on the floor, there was a small balcony, a seating area by the window. A door lead to a pristine white bathroom. Everything looked expensive, but what did Kin expect? There was the latest television set, sitting unused but also as it had just been brought. He frowned, if all the rooms were the same, he was going to have to keep an eye on Masaru's... entertainment time. There was no kitchen to be seen, Kin wasn't a terrible cook, but he was raised on relying on others when it came to feeding himself. He sighed inwardly, groaning at the idea of having to go downstairs for every meal. He shook his head before smiling at Masaru. "Let's go put on your dress."

@Hana (Sayuri Shiki)
Akihiko looked surprised. "Are our rooms across from each other?" he blinked at Sayuri, a flush appearing on his cheeks. Back in the mountains, even among family their rooms remained gender segregated. The women of the household, along with their daughters, lived in the back of the household while the men and the sons lived near the front. The only exception were the married couples that had rooms together in the middle of the building and the maids that roamed freely, but staying in the men's area for too long was looked down upon and considered suspicious. His mother always found unmarried men and women who lived under the same roof to be... strange and immoral. It was a dangerous way to live, she often said.
It wasn't as if Akihiko didn't trust the other vampires, but the fact that nobody else seemed to have the same reaction as him shocked him. Did everyone under the mountains think this was a normal thing to do? "That is nice... I suppose," he said, shuffling his feet as he got two of the silver keys.
He walked about with his friend trying to find his room before spotting it halfway down one of the halls. He eagerly opened it, looking around at the modern and less-than-traditional room. It was something he was going to have to get used to. His luggage, packed neatly and stuffed full, stood beside his four posted bed, signalling which bed was his. As he turned to look at the kitchen, his shoulders fell. He had no idea how to use a modern kitchen, with the gas and the gadgets. He had expected the open fireplace and the hanging pots he grew up with. "How disappointing," he sighed. "Nothing is turning out the way I expected it to be." He realized he was alone in the room, where was his dorm mate? Akihiko wondered where he was. Was he still outside?
Location: Moon Dorm - Inside her Room.
Lihua already had access to her room, so she had detached from the rest of the group to continue unloading her luggage and start cleaning her kitchen utensils. She had no clue who her dorm mate was, but judging from her luggage, which had just been delivered, she was probably another rich aristocrat with a fashion sense. She smirked, maybe they could be sisters and dress each other up? From a giant bag she pulled out a saucepan, throwing it into the sink of the mini kitchen she had requested before adding in a bamboo box steamer. Ever since she had mentioned to the Association that she had a deep love for cooking, they had went ahead and purchased her some utensils. She loved them for that, she wondered if she could cook for them one day. Though she didn't know much apart from city food and Chinese food, there was much she could learn from other cuisines around the world. Seeing so many utensils all in one spot, some already hung out to dry, she felt the itch to cook. The freezer was already a quarter full of frozen dumpling skins for her to use, the fridge stocked with fresh ingredients.
She took a deep breath. "I should get ready for the party, maybe I can finally meet that guardian I'm supposed to have..."
