Atrium

Alodia bit her lip. If she could have, maybe she would have smiled back but.....it had been so long that it was like she had forgotten what happiness was like, much less how to smile. As she looked down at Selene, she got the overwhelming urge to open up to the girl about everything. It both terrified her and made her want to go along with it at the same time. Her body trembled as conflict on whether or not she should say anything warred within her. She had had it beaten into her to never say anything about what was done to her, but at the same time......this girl made her feel....

Selene just smiled at Alodia encouragingly. She couldn't read her mind, so Selene had no idea how the girl felt, but she knew, the girl needed her. Selene felt needed, and that, was a feeling she hadn't felt for a long time. She had lived a long life. Two lives, actually, not like most people who lived the same life progressing tthrough each stage of before and after death. Selene's was like that, but it was different, also. Selene had died a natural death, not from tragedy or anything, and she had not expected to pass through the afterlife to be in this world. her beliefs had been different, and yet...here she was. If she could help Alodia in anyway, she would.

Alodia bit her lip again and said, "C-could you um...." she looked down at her hands and up again. "I-i don't really know where anything is......c-could you maybe um.....help me find my dorm?" it was obvious that it wasn't what she had initially wanted to ask, but it was also a question that she needed resolved.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

"Sure! I can do that, I haven't got a dorm myself either, since I arrived a few hours ago, shall we?" She asked, holding out her hand.

[[deleted user]]

Alodia hesitated, then took Selene's hand and stood up.

Winnow leaped across the bench, then landed on Alodia's sleeve and climbed up to her shoulder. How she knew where she was going was a mystery since her eyes were still closed.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Selene watched amused as Winnow amazingly climb up up Alodia's arm withoiut opening her eyes. She smiled and squeezed Alodia's hand encouragingly. "There are apparently two choices for dorms here, single, or roomming with someone. Do you know which you would prefer?" Selene asked Alodia.


((Imma gonna make their room now ^.^ something nice and simple?))

[[deleted user]]

((^_^ nice and simple sounds good to me for them. Anything over the top would overload Alodia))

"I-i don't know....I mean...I don't want to get paired with a stranger but.....I would be even more afraid of being alone..." she admitted. The whole time she had been speaking with Selene, even when she cried, she had been very quiet and soft, as if raising her voice was forbidden or rather she learned how to always keep her voice down.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

((Awesome ^.^ I have this one: http://i-cdn.apartmenttherapy.com/uim... (imagine two beds though. And this one: http://i.imgur.com/YaOh9.jpg which is better?))


Selene nodded, "well, if you would like, and if you're comfortable with me, then we could dorm together?" She asked. She squeezed Alodia's hand lightly, and smiled warmly. Selene didn't miss the way Alodia spoke. It chilled her to know that someone could reduce a girl to this terrified girl in front of Selene. But then, Selene had never known Alodia before...she just knew that Alodia had suffered a lot.

[[deleted user]]

((I like the first one actually lolz))

Alodia bit her lip, but at a gentle hair tug from Winnow, she said, "Y-yes....I-i would like that very much..." she ducked her head shyly, staring down at her feet.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

((Lols me too XD ))


"Lovely, it shall be a pleasure to dorm with you," said Selene smiling gently. She had only shared a room with her brothers, and her husband in her previous life. Since, she had only chosen to accept her new life as an angel, Selene had preferred to sleep alone, because sometimes, she would dream about those days in Rome. And she was embarrassed getting caught out crying. But if Alodia was there, perhaps, her fragility would make Selene stronger. "Come, it's this way," she said, tugging Alodia's hand lightly as she pointed to the entrance in the wall with over a thousand balconies.

[[deleted user]]

Alodia stared up at it in surprise, allowing Selene to tug her towards the entrance. "G-goodness....this place is bigger than I thought...." she admitted nervously, trembling as she thought of how many males must occupy the dorms.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Noting her tremble, Selene squeezed her hand. "It's okay, if you get scared, squeeze my hand and stick close to me," she said as they reached the entrance to the reception of the Dorm building.

[[deleted user]]

Alodia bit her lip and nodded, unable to speak out of fear as she followed after Selene, trying hard to not be scared.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Inside, Selene talked with the receptionist, smiling, and going through all the motions that came with signing into the dorm for the first time. It was somewhat exhausting, but Selene was patient. So she just smiled, and waited until they were at last allocated a two person dorm.

[[deleted user]]

Alodia hung back as Selene got them a dorm together, flinching whenever anyone got too close to her. Being inside where all the people were walking around was scaring her and she was getting more and more worked up, clutching Winnow close to her chest and practically suffocating her shugo in her need for comfort.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Selene turned back to Alodia, and noticing her increased discomfort, she wrapped an arm around her shoulder and directed her down the hall. "It's this way, come on," she said. Selene kept her eye on Alodia to make sure she was okay. And hoped the room was not too far to get to. Selene was hoping to get there with the least amount of people contact as possible.

[[deleted user]]

Alodia pressed against Selene, flinching away from a brawny male that brushed by them. She looked like she was about to have a heart attack when the male brushed against her arm as he passed them to get to the reception desk, her whole body quivering like a leaf in a gale.

Winnow nearly got shaken off of Alodia's shoulder and had no choice but to move onto Selene's shoulder so she wouldn't fall to the ground.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Selene glared at he guy who'd brushed passed them, and noticing Alodia's reaction, she thought, Ah...so I was right...it has to do with men, as well as people. But mostly... She steered them right to their door. Asides from the room number, there was nothing else on the door except an empty name plaque.


((Post in their dorm now?))

[[deleted user]]

The guy had no idea he had done anything wrong as he went on to find his room.


Alodia clung tight to Selene as they walked to the room, almost at the breaking point mentally with all the people around.
((yah post in their dorm now ^_^))

Adrian carried Mio into the Atrium. He looked around, it was nice. Another place I haven't seen.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Gripping Adrian around the neck tightly, though hopefully not choking him, she smiled as she noted the way the sun hit the glass ceiling, and reflected light around the Atrium. It was beautiful.

[[deleted user]]

Adrian looked up at the balconies. "Which one is yours?" He could use the shadows to help him jump as high as needed. The light is only making her more beautiful.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Mio looked around, and then pointed to one that was at the far end. "That one," she said softly. "And yours?"

[[deleted user]]

Adrian nodded. "You see the balcony with the albino leaning on the rail?" He asked, looking up at Ivan, who was watching the sunrise. "That's my roommate Ivan."

[Kakashi ~The Legend~]

((what the hell! my character is not your characters roommate!!!))

[[deleted user]]

((I have a character named Ivan))

[Kakashi ~The Legend~]

((oh, sorry for the confusion.))

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

((>.>))

"Oh, the guy who startles easily, right?" Asked Mio, frowning a bit

[[deleted user]]

((It's alright...))

"Yeah, he's crazy but he's also pretty cool." Adrian shrugged and mentally added. And short. He remembered what she had said earlier that night. "Mio... Do you really think that Envy guy would like him?"

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

"Hm? Oh I don't know for sure, but yeah, he could, unless he has someone else in his sights. Being trapped in the body of that Takumi guy though...he doesn't get many chances to come out," she said looking up at Ivan.

[[deleted user]]

Adrian nodded. "I need to get him out of the dorm, he's in there all day." He sighed. "I can't let him be a hermit."

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Mio chuckled, "well, maybe Envy might like him, don't know where he is though."

[[deleted user]]

Adrian nodded. "I'll probably have Ivan go on a walk or something. He's unnervingly quiet, it's hard to fall asleep when your roommate shows no signs of living." It creeped him out and he could Ivan wasn't tired in the slightest despite being up all night.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

"Doesn't sleep...? At all?" Mio asked somewhat awwed, "though we didn't sleep at all tonight eithe." She chuckled.

[[deleted user]]

Adrian chuckled and nodded. "H does sleep but I don't know when, I think he sleeps during the day or at twilight or something like that." He shrugged then ran for Mio's room, he leaped up onto the balcony.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Mio gripped Adrian's neck tightly, gasping as he leapt up to her room, surprising her.

((Lols let me make her dorm room ^.^))

[[deleted user]]

((Okay))

Adrian smirked and stepped onto her balcony.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

((It's up ^.^ post there next if you don't mind))


"Omgosh," gasped Mio as they stepped onto her balcony. She looked up at him with awe, and said, "that was amazing."

[Shay]

Melody obviously bored walked around, finally finding a seat she sat.

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Nanami entered the Atrium, tired from finally chasing down the clerk.

[Shay]

Standing up Melody heard someone coming. Panicking Melody hid

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Nanami hummed a little, twirling her katana around. She paused thinking she heard someone. She considered opening up her reaper senses to check, but then shrugged.

[Shay]

Peeking out Melody also the girl but couldn't tell what she was. Leaning closer she fell right in front of the girls path

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Nanami blinked at the sight of the girl in front of her. Her dark hair fell forward as Nanami leaned forward, surprised. "Well, that was some entrance," she mused.

[Shay]

"Thanks I was going for a wow affect" picking herself up Melody dusted off. Finally done she offered her hand to the girl. "Hi I'm Melody and you are?

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

Nanami smiled lightly, blinking a bit. "Nanami, Reaper. And you're an...angel?"

[Shay]

Yes and wow I never known another reaper

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

"You haven't?" Asked Nanami surprised, she must be a really good angel, she thought. "Who was the other one?"

[Shay]

"It was back a couple hundred years ago he was a good friend....Donolo" remembering the past Melody questioned how old the reaper was. "So Nanami how old are you?"

[Nina {ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ}, ~ Queen of Hell ~]

"Ah, I see. I'm pretty old...almost as old as the oldest reaper Death, but give oer take several decades," said Nanami, smiling a little. So far the conversation was one Nanami could handle.
