The room is pretty plane, which is pretty normal, there are two beds one on each side, and a book case, along with desks under a window on the far side from the door.
On each bed are two school uniforms, books and a new looking laptop, on Juuhi's bed there is a red laptop with a tarot card, the Devil and her name written on it in gold sharpy.
The other bed has the exact same thing except that the computer is green and the card is the High Priestess with Amane's name on it.

Juuhi grunted and scrambled as she tried to shift her stuff into the room in one go with mixed success, the boxes scuffed and crunched slightly as she finally barges inside, quickly scrambling over to the bed and tumbling the boxes on top of it with a grunt, "Bloody hell.." She sighed and sprawled out on the bed a moment, testing it before sitting up and straightening the boxes, pausing only as she spots the lap top with a little laugh, "Sweet!" she scoops it up and looks it over, snatching the card as it flutters off, staring at it a long moment before opening a box and pulling out a black felt Bowler hat and tucking the card into the brim above the ear, slips the hat on and looks into the mirror with a grin as she models it slightly, "Well.. Guess someone looked close at my school record.."

It has been a bad day for Amane so far. Nothing seemed to work well at all! First of all she barely had any sleep at all. The poor girl was so anxious for this eventful day she couldn't relax and sleep and by the time she did it was almost time to wake up. She then made the stupid decision of sleeping just a few more minutes... which became hours by the time she woke up.
After much panic and crying and self deprecation, she finally made her way to the dorm where she'll be living in from now on, full of hopes and expectation. Her usually tide and impeccable clothes are sweaty and she looks a mess.
As finally finds her room, she politely knocks on it before entering and soon as she sees Juhi she bows. "Good afternoon! My name is Ishibashi Amane and I will be your roommate for the year!" she says still bowed, sounding very formal and nervous. She then straightens up and tilts her head. "I mean... are you going to live here too?"

Juuhi fiddles with the hat before beginning to sit down, looking over at the other bed quirking an eyebrow, a little grin crossing her lips... And then Amane knocks and slips inside, the idea quickly forgotten as the new girl introduces herself, at the final question, a mental grin ticks in Juuhi's head, though she keeps a straight face...
"Live here? No. I just like to randomly go into rooms and put my stuff about even though im not staying there." Her tone deadpan and flat.. It all lasts afor about 5 long seconds before her face breaks into a playful grin and she stands giving a bow and flourishes taking off her hat, "I'm Koinu Juuhi, good to meet you, and yes, I'll be your roommate!" The girl seems to have no formality in her as she sprawls on the bed again and stretches before sitting up and opening one of her boxes sorting through it, "So, do you live close to town? I didn't see you on the train or with the others waiting for the Dorm Direct."

Amane scratches her head confusedly as Juuhi speaks, tensing up a lot with the awkward silence that follows. It's not until the other girl grins that Amane relaxes, smiling back at her. "Oooh... That is nice! For a moment I did think you were serious." she says and sighs, nodding at her. "Hai! I've lived here my whole life. Are you not from around here? I can show you the city, it's a really nice place."
She then looks down ashamed. "I... ummm... overslept and missed the train. Dad gave me a ride here." she say and moves to her head. "Hmm, what are those things?" she says, carefully placing her bonsai tree on the floor to check them out. "High Priestess? That's weird." she says and shrugs. "A computer? Nice! Do you have one too?" she says and turns around to check. "Ooh.. you have a red one! Do you wanna trade?" she grins at the girl.

Juuhi grins wide at Amane, "I've been here a couple times, my uncle owns a restraunt here, 13 gold coins. Visited while family was out on business but didnt get out much, mostly just helped around the place."
She begi s busying herself by unpacking little plushies from the box, each with a fancy little leather collars with silver plates, a small plush crocodile with thr name Agares, a donkey with the name Samigina, a wolf named aamon, a winged leopard with the name Sitri, and a spider wearing a purple tophat named Baal.
She considers the trade offer, then shakes her head, "Might be that the computers are person specific, specially since you got a card to." She plucks the Devil card from her hat and flips it to/at Amane, "Maybe if your the high priestess they expect you to reign me in..." She grins again, though it holds a bit of challenge in it...

Amane's eyes widen at the realization. "Are you Koinu-san's, owner of the 13 Gold Coins, niece? That is really nice! We used to eat dinner there every weekend. Koinu-san is a very nice man." she says with a big grin on her face, and then nods. "It's a small town, but very nice! I can show you around sometime."
As Juuhi removes her plushies, Amane goes all dawww on them. "They are so cute! I like the foreign names!" she says, completely oblivious to their meaning or origin. Her smile fades as Juuhi refuses and nods. "Okay..." she says with a disappointed tone and looks over to her own card as she mentions it, having no idea what she's talking about? "Really? I don't know a lot about these card games... I like manga better." she says and giggles.

Juuhi nods, "Yep, Uncle Wata is a great Chef. I even got permission to work there a couple nights out of the week for some extra pocket money, And keep me out of trouble. They Hope." The last bit said with a bit of a sharp grin as she then cuddles the armful of plushies before putting them around her bed on tables and chairs. "And I dont think the names are foreign, i made most of them up when i was a little kid.. I think.." she considers a moment, then shrugs and flops onto the bed.
"Well, since they were on our beds, and had cards with our names on them, they are possibly made specificly for us. And why not see about getting a custom shell for it? Or a protective peel off coat and then paint it how you like?" She stretches out and sighs getting comfortable and looks at the ceiling before digging through her luggage pulling out a small plastic container and grabs a chair climbing on top of it reaching to the ceiling about a foot out from the bed.
"And they arent from a cardgame, that are Torat cards (mispronounced tarot as to-rat), some western fortune telling thing, suppose to be able to tell a persons future with them somehow. Had a girl who was psycho about them, would never shut up about it.." With a bit of stretching and straining she begins to screw little hooks into the ceiling, like what some people would hang a potter from, but smaller..

Amane giggles mischievously at Juuhi's words. "Do you get in trouble often, Koinu-san? I can't even imagine what my parents would do if I ever got in one myself." she says and scratches her head as the other girl mentions the name. "Well, I'm pretty sure they aren't japanese, but I was never particularly good at it, so what do I know, right?" she shrugs and laughs softly.
She nods at Juuhi. "Oh, you're probably right, Koinu-san. Don't mind me, I just thought yours looked so pretty I didn't think before I spoke." she says and listens to the explanation. "To-rat... " she says and looks to her own card again. "Maybe this is some kind of prank? I mean, why would the school give this to us?" she shrugs a bit and looks over to the card again. "How does this fortune telling thing works? Does it mean I will become some priestess and you..." she blinks at what she was about to say and just goes silent, examining the card curiously.

Juuhi grins as she continues screwing in the little hooks around the bed, putting in a total of three, "Not really. Just wild accusations. Cause my hair and all people always gave me guff at my old school... My parents and uncle enrolled me here so I could get away from it and get a fresh start!" She smiles, partially telling the truth at least. "Yeah, i mostly made them up when i was a kid... They might be Scandinavian words i picked up from my dad.." She considers thoughtfully and shrugs working in the last screw.
"No worries, I kinda like red, but Crimson or Scarlet much more" she smiles and begins rummaging through the boxes again. "Maybe..? Could just be a student who got here before all of us or something." she shrugs, then giggles at Amane's expression, "I dont think its a literal thing, which is good cause i forgot my Tetsubo at home. (Joke! tetsubo being a giant iron club, usually wielded by Oni!)" She pulls out a long Crimson sheet with loops attached to one end, and begins hooking it to the ceiling.
"They mean kinda abstract things. They lay the card out in a big pattern, and then the cards in each position tell a different thing about whats going to happen depending on if they are upside down or what. But the cards arent really Literal, like, despite what anime and manga say, Death doesnt mean your gonna die, its a sign of change, like.. Well, coming to school here! Its not bad, its not good, its what you make of it. Though.. No idea what ours mean though."
She finishes hanging the sheet, which shows long cuts through it seperating it into parts, and begins to draw them back wrapping little black cloth bands around them giving the bed a curtained look. She grins and flops into the bed face first, giving a muffled "TADAH!" before sitting up and giggles picking up her own card, a thoughtful expression crossing her face as some half memory tickles her brain...

Amane nods and shakes her head in disapproval. "That sucks. I'm sorry you have to go through that. Many kids like to dye their hair yellow as some kind of sign of rebellion or whatever, but yours look natural. Are you half-blooded, Koinu-san?" she asks curiously, though the answer is pretty obvious. "I hope you'll do well here and make your parents proud of you." she says with a warm smile. As the girl goes on, she looks over to the plushies again. "They are cool names I think, even if a bit hard to pronounce."
The girl nods. "I like any kind of red, but I think green is very pretty as well. I really love my plants and flowers. I just thought your laptop looked cool." she says embarrassed and blinks a couple of times as she mentions the tetsubo with a WTF look on her face, having no clue whether Juhi is serious or not, so she just laughs it off. "Heh... I guess whoever did is lucky then, right?" she says and looks away.
She listens to her explanation in silence and finally nods. "Hmmm, it sounds like it is vague on purpose to fool people. Do people actually believe that kind of thing?" she says and scratches her head, turning her attention to whatever the blonde girl is doing. Once she finishes Amane smiles brightly at her. "Oh wow, that looks really pretty" she says and giggles as face flops into the bed.

Juuhi bristles at the mention of half blood, body growing not tense, but somehow looser.. Though she doesnt do anything except slide off the bed and begin sorting through the boxes, seeming to let it go as Amane had no bad intentions behind her words.
She smirks atnthe girl being unsure on her joke, wondering if she had never encountered sarcasm before, or if Juuhi was just giving off the feeling of someone who would have an iron club..
"Yeah, it does sound like something to fool rubes. But i dont think it was suppose to be a "perfect" means of doing it, like suppose to tell you that your gonna break your leg next week after seeing a black dog, but more to generally warn. Or sonething. I dont really beleive it, but girl in my old school was obsessed with it."
She grins at Amanes reponse to the hangings "Yeah, and.." She reaches out flicking the strings holding the bundles letting them unfurral and block the bed from view, "privacy screen! So i dont keel you awake when im reading or watching stuff.. And since i roll around alot when i sleep no accidental flashing!" She gives a grinning smirk.

Amane of course knows better than push the question, though Juuhi's reaction answers it very clearly. She doesn't think her question was offensive at all, but she can imagine why Juuhi would be defensive over that and just drops the question, figuring they can talk about it in the future as they get closer if Juuhi wishes.
The blonde girl's smirk slightly creeps Amane out, but prefers to just skip the subject. The less she knows about that the better, she tells herself, and nods to the girl. "I guess you're right... it just sounds a bit silly to me. I hope this is a joke though." she says and sighs.
She nods at Juuhi. "Wow, that's a really good idea! You don't have to worry about reading though, I'm a pretty heavy sleeper." she says and giggles, then scratches her head confused. "Ummm... accidental flashing?"

Juuhi settles down, seeming to relax as she leans back on the bed for a moment. "Well, that said.. Alot of people believe it, and its been around for a long while.. So who knows?" she rolls off the bed onto her hands and toes like a cat and begins digging through the boxes...
Then begins to blush a light pink that shows quite well against her pale skin.. "So.. Yeah, cool, but consideration is always good.. And i tend to sleep heavy to... But toss and turn alot.. Like. Alot. I'll go to sleep normal, but wake up with my head tucked under the covers were my feet were, and my feet on my pillow. Annd.. in effect i have yet to find a set of sleepwear that will hold on. And.. being a heavy sleeper to, i tend to wake up slow.. And this affords me a few minutes to really wake up before accidently blinding you with the glare off my skin.."
She gives a little cough, and pulls out a pair of apple sodas, offering one to Amane, "Anyways, enough embarrassing stuff about me, a drink?"

Amane nods softly and relaxes as well, flopping seated on her bed and shrugs. "Who knows, right?" she says and pats her bed. "Hmm, it's pretty soft and comfy. I'll take that over a silly card any time." she says and giggles.
As Juuhi blushes, Amane looks both confused and surprised by her reaction, listening in silence. As she is done, she just smiles and shakes her head. "You don't have to worry about that, I don't mind at all! I mean, we are both girls, right? I think it would be terrible if I had to leave the room every time I wanted to change clothes or something..." she pauses and looks over to the girl. "I mean, you don't mind if I change clothes of you, right? If so I can just take them to the bathroom, no problem!" she says almost apologetically and nods. "Yes please! I've been running the whole day and a cold drink would be very nice!" she says and takes one.

Juuhi braces her finger against the lid, one of the old metal lids that requires a bottle openner, and grinds her thumbs forwards until the lids crumple and pop off, offering one to Amane, "Welll.. They arent cold, but they arent warm at least" she sips her drink and shrugs, "Ok, no problem with that, I'd just like a chance to get organized so im not shambling around mostly naked, drooling, bed-headed, and tangled up in a blanket grumbling and growling," she grins reaching into the box again pulling out a little box of Chocorooms (little biscut sticks with chocolate on the end looking like a mushroom) and offers to Amane.

Amane grins and bumps her shoulders shrugging. "I bet they will feel cold enough to me." she says as she picks the drink from her room mate and nods at her. "Don't worry about that, Koinu-san. I understand and respect your privacy. We all have our quirks, and if you promise you won't tell anyone about mine, I promise not to tell anyone about yours either." she says the last sentence in a playful tone, obviously not taking it seriously.
The girl's brows furrow a bit at the offer, and she hesitantly takes one of the chocorooms. "I'm trying to stick to a diet... but eating just one should be alright... right?" she says, not quite believing her own words.

Juuhi laughs, pulling out one of the little mushrooms, not much bigger then the tip of a persons pinky and flicks it towards Amane, "Thats some pretty strict diet there. What sort is it?" She pulls out one of the sweets herself and begins sucking the chocolate off before leaning back against her bed... Then smirks a little, "Also, since we are gonna be keeping each others secrets.. What are you gonna spill to me? Mutually Assured Destruction." She grins, but in a friendly style before offering her hand, "And as we are secret keepers for each other, and roomates, You can just call me Juuhi."

Amane nods enthusiastically. "Hai! I don't want to be the fat girl in class so I'm trying to lose a few kilos. I'm trying to cut sugar and carbohydrates." she says, looking towards the flicking chocoroom with a tempted expression.
She looks away embarrassed by Juuhi's question. "I... ummm... my brother says I snore, but I'm not sure that is true." she says and looks back to Juhi right after, smiling brightly. "Hai, Juhi!"

Juuhi snort and begins laughing lightly, "Well, i hope you don't snore to loudly.." She grins and crunches down the little biscut stick before pulling out another, then holds up a finger to Amane, "Juuhi." She pulls out a pad and paper scribbling out 縦火, being written as Self-Indulgent Fire. "Itsa weird one. All my familys names are bit off.. Though, my mom did call me Juhi when i was little.. She was still kinda learning Japanese, thought it was funny cause then my name sounded like "Barking Puppy" Not getting it means like, tree bark."
She shrugs and sips her soda.

Amane scratches her head embarrassed. "Well... if you ever have trouble sleeping let me know and I promise to get you an earplug!" she says pretty serious, as she would die of shame if something like that ever happened.
The girl looks over to the paper and air draws the symbol herself memorizing. "Oooh, right, sorry." she says and then shakes her head. "I think it's exotic, not weird." she says with a kind smiles and chuckles at her story. "Where is your mother from?" she asks curiously.

Post by Koinu Juuhi on Apr 7, 2016 4:12:49 GMT 9
Juuhi laughs, "Given how heavy i sleep i think ear plugs would be a bad idea, or i'd never wake up." She flicks another little chocolate into the air catching it in her mouth and begins sucking the chocolate off. "No problem, just some ki..." she clams up after a moment before leaning towards a box pulling out a picture in frame offering it to Amane, "Heres a picture of them" she grins, and sure enough, it is, an older looking man standing to her left, and on the right, a seriously tall blonde woman. Juuhi's arms wrapped around both of them, her arm reaching down to rest on her fathers shoulder, while with her mom her arm barely makes it under her arms.. "My moms from america, big Japanese nerd, and met my dad while he was doing consulting there they started dating, got serious, moved back here, got married, eventually i came along.." She smiles and sets the picture on the night stand next to the bed and laughs, "If you think thats Exotic, you should have heard some of the names my dad wanted to give me.." she grins and crunches away t the sweet pulling out another and sipping her drink. |

Amane laughs along and nods. "Well, I could wake you up myself and..." she pauses and furrows her brows. "Err actually that is not a good idea either..." she says and grins embarrassed. "Let's just hope my brother was just making fun of me..."
She stands from her bed and move to Juuhi's to check the picture and listen to her story with a derpy look on her face. "Aaaww that is so cute! My parents' story is super boring in comparison." she says and laughs, taking a better look at the picture. "Ooh... your mother is very pretty." she says and looks back to her roommate. "Really? What, did he want to name you after some character from Dragon Ball or something?"

Juuhi laughs, "Lord no, my dad has a massive "Nord-on" wanted to name me Brunhilda, Hildr, Eir, or something else like that. He is a major nordic nerd. He can sing Der Ring des Nibelungen in any Scandinavian language." She smirks and leans back with a shrug, as if what she described was completely normal, "What about you? Whats your family like?"

"Brunhiruda? Hil..." she sighs and gives up trying to pronounce those names. "Nothing against them but I'm glad he changed his mind. I think you would go through a lot of bullying here if you did, sadly. But anyway, your father sounds like a fun person!" she says and grins.
The girl scratches her cheek. "Hmm... my family? Well, dad is an accountant and mom is a kindergarten teacher. They met in high school and started dating and umm..." she shrugs not sure what else to say. "I have a little brother too, his name is Ishibashi Hajime. He is a naughty boy but can be sweet sometimes too. I think I'm gonna miss him the most." she says and sighs.

Juuhi develops a leer at the mention of being bullied, not quite pleasant, even for a leer, its almost feral, but lasts for only a split second, "Eh, I'm tough. I could deal." She grins, more pleasantly this time, "They both are, but its kinda exciting to get a chance to do something close to being "on my own" you know?"
But she pauses and nods ay Amanes words, "Well, maybe you can arrange for him to visit durring Golden week or something? Come visit a couple days and show him around."
She sighs and rolls her shoulders, back and neck working out a crick or something, "Fecking cripes my necks sore.. Fell asleep wrong on the train i guess.." She sighs.

Amane is seriously creeped out by Juuhi's look, and especially with how quickly she seems to shift between murderous rage look and carefree and casual grin. She just swallows and nods, jumping to the chance of changing subjects. "I think I know exactly how you feel. I love my family more than anything, but I always get the feeling they've been living my life for me, you know? I think this will finally change a little now."
The girl grins at her roommate. "That's a good idea. I think he would like that a lot though..." she sighs. "He's just hitting puberty, so he might try to be funny around you since you look so pretty." she says and shakes her head, then reaches for her purse. "I have a painkiller here if you want one!"

Juuhi laughs, "I Know! But, now is our chance to spread out and start making our own way inthe world!" She stretches out her arms and legs and flops on the floor sprawling out. She then giggles at Amane mentioning her brother has hit "That Age" grinning as she sits up again, "Nah, i can visit my uncle for duration or something, he could use my bed and you guys could share the room for a couple days" she smiles, and considers, "What kind do you got?"

Amane nods. "Well, for now I'll just be happy with walking with my own legs." she says and laughs along. "Though I really doubt my parents won't keep tabs on everything I do anyway. Small town and all that." she says and looks up to the ceiling frustrated.
The girl shakes her head at Juuhi as she brings up her brother. "What? My brother here? No no no, that is just wrong. He would cause all sorts of trouble if let loose on the girls dorm." she says and then offers her everything she has and lets Juuhi choose. "I have headaches a lot." she says as she looks away.
