I accept most race.


Here is a discription of the rolls you can play ! You can have more than two people!

Master of the House:

This is a male only role please. He is the owner of the house and pretty much keep the entire joint running. He is known to entertain clients on occasion, but that is a very high price to pay. His word is law. He is strict and can be mean and merciful at times. But it is known to never cross him. He can be played as any race. He co works with the Mistress of the house.

Head Geisha:

The heist of honor in the Okiya and the most coveted. You are the one who makes the most money, is the most popular, and is in high demand. You have a lot on you're shoulders to keep you're position, and keeping clients. You do not teach the other Mikos, but only on occasion. You are the spoiled house cat by the others, because lets face it, you put the rice in their bowls.

Head Servant:

Don't let this position fool anyone. Being head servant, you at least get to earn a small income keeping the servants inline, giving assignments, and making sure the Okiya is taken care of. You are close knit to the Master and Mistress of the Okiya, and are sometimes 3rd in charge when they are gone. Even Geisha and Miko alike must show respect.
You hire the new servants before they arrive, and are in charge of a lot around the Okiya. Unlike the maids and servants, you are highly educated, being able to read, write among other skills.

Geisha:

Geisha are the top ranked people in the house. Mikos and servants do what they can to please you and help you in any way with your clients. You are the ones that bring in the big money and have the men coming back for more. Each Geisha is assigned a Miko to train. This is one of the top prides in your Geisha Duty, the top ranking Gesha with the best Miko is seen upon as a treasure. So it is your job to train them well and show them off to your clients.

Miko::

Mikos are students in the Okiya. You have one Geisha teacher that you follow every order. Mikos are expected to clean after there Geisha teachers, prep and learn at all times doing the best they can to please the Geisha and Clients. Messing up is not an option. It is your pride to do your best for your Geisha teacher or you can be replaced.

Servants/ Maids

:

This is where one always starts out, and if you are lucky, you can be promoted to Miko. You do early morning house chores, cleaning, and peeping. You are trained in a house keeping skill that you will master and do for a season, until its seen fit you may do other tasks. Maids are uneducated, no reading, no writing, no song or dance in many way until they become a Miko where they get formal trainings. Servants clean, and make sure the okiya is up and running before its time to run bussness.

Clients/other::

Clients can be male and female: vampire and human, wolf, ect anything you wish! You come to the Okiya to be entertained, or you have other business in mind. all up to you! Lets keep it interesting!

Setting and a little background:

Time setting is the 1700's. samurai and ronin are still in abundance, as well and merchants and travelers. The Gion is very old and very well known for its unique choice in male and female Geisha, and wide range of different types of races available. With all the competition around it is futile for the place to remain unique and different to keep it standing out from the rest of the other competition in the district.

The winter is here so the fall kimonos are being stored, and winter is being brought out.
This means a nice rush of business because the weather is becoming much nicer. And the nights more chilly.

The Okiya is getting ready for the winter season.

Any and all who join the Okiya have a brand on their right wrist of the emblem of the okiya.
Thus it is forever known they belong to the Okiya, who they serve, and who they Honor. When a new maid arrives, they all receive the brand. Miko and Geisha alike also have this brand mark.

This emblem is on the kimonos of the house, lanterns, and parasols.
The emblem is the pride of the house. Each House in the Okiya have a specific emblem to represent the house.

............ Mistress of the Okiya

[ location: in the Okiya in the halls checking rooms > A room ]
[ With: No one ]
[ le ooc land:...]

Quick foot steps made its way down the Gion streets as a beautiful Kamishichiken Geisha made her way to the Okiya known for its specialized in selections of different Geisha. She was successful in owning several different brothels, and other Okiya that specialize in many different areas of pleasure, but his one was the most versatile she had owned. At first glance one would not think of her as a vampire, but once you see her ghostly pale skin, and get a glance at her teeth, you'd think again. She is known as one of the most successful Geisha in the district, so successful in fact, she owned many of the Geisha houses on the street, when she retired, including this one.
She has lent it to the care of the current Master, a close friend of hers who decided to take part in the business. She found herself long ago not being able to manage so many houses, so, she let her friend take over having full trust in his ability. And so far she is beyond pleased with how successful the Okiya has become over the years.

She held a paper paraso and knew she had to get a different one for the snow in the next coming weeks or so, even though she did not need it she liked to carry it, and her platform Okobo rang as the bell inside jingled as she walked up the steps to the House, and gracefully let herself inside.It was still early evening as no one was quite awake yet. Due to the nature of the Okiya and Mihoshi herself being a vampire, she only made her appearances in the evening, and the Okiya only opened for customers in the night, while the day was reserved for schooling.

A few good maids that were up and properly doing their work put a smile of please on her face, as she Her kimono was layered as normal, and she removed the first top as she handed it to a maid and they placed it in a room for her that help guests belongings. He kimono was always bright red, and glamours, with gold details. The winter would bring more of these brighter reds especially for the new year.

She closes her parasol and glances around. Her makeup flawless. Posture, like a stone statue as she looks like she glides on her feet. She removes her Okobo and places them near the door, along with her parasol. She glances around as she lets herself inside the Okiya. No one questions her as she enters, her aura felt quickly as she entered.

Without saying a single word she walked down the hall taking a peek inside several rooms checking on everyone making sure everyone was up and doing their duties, and seeing how things were moving along. needing to speak with the master of the house soon.
New maids were going to arrive that evening. She wanted to make sure he and the others were ready for the new little girl arriving.

.............. Yukato...................
............ A neko Maid

[ Location: the maids sleeping quarters > A room ]
[ With: No one ]
[ le ooc land:=^.^= ]

Yukato was fast asleep in his futon as the Okiya was becoming alive with Miko running about trying to get ready for the busy night ahead, maids and everything in the world happening around him ,all except for him. Yukato was still sleeping after a long, long…night of keeping up to make sure the Geishas from that night were let in. Yukato always hated that job, they were always drunk, falling over, or very cruel at points, and other times, emotional, hurt, or need an ear to vent on the long night they have had,and usually stayed awake till the wee hours of the morning as the sun would rise, leaving Yukato little to no sleep in his day. Yukato didn’t know how they managed to do that, and then wake up, get dressed and do it all over again.
The boy slept on his side curled up in his fouton covers, even thought it was slightly warm in the room Yukato didn’t remove the cover. Winter was coming, so he wanted to enjoy the warmth as much as he could.

Yukato was usually one to sleep in heavily, he would usually get in trouble if he was told on to the master, but usually everyone was so busy, they didn't notice until they needed something that was his responsibility. Usually the Master let it slide, but he would get harsh if he did it more then three times in a week. Yukato had always been a bit of a trouble maker in the Okiya in his past, and everyone knew it, but not at his own fault. He was much worse when he was younger, but over the years he learns his lessons slowly, but sometimes never at all. It had always depends on situations, or whatever might have been going on at the time to cause him to react, or lash out.
But he was better behaved then some of the other Geishas in the home.
Sometimes the Geisha could fight worse then cats and dogs, and cause much more trouble then Yukato could manage...

When he was much younger he would run away almost every night but lately it has grown thin to only once every few months. The punishments have gotten to harsh to put up with running away, and the emblem on his arm, is highly recognizable. If he was to be found, which was always the case, he was seemed out , caught and he was always returned.

He was the only one left in the room, all the others were wide awake and doing there evening and a chorus. The last few days Yukato had to help organize summer and fall kimonos for the season. It was a boring job for him, but he did it with no complaints. Now winter had arrived, and it was like the task was never complete.

His ears flicker as he rolls over and glances at the celling as he yawns....." Time to get up already?"....He sighs as he sits up and looks towards the shutters seeing the light o the day fade.
He sighed. “Wish we had air…” He muttered to himself kicking a little of the cover off of him trying to get started with his day.
But he only turned around again on his left side glancing at his arm which was exposed from the wrinkled kimono over night. His ears flickered as the small ring of bells could be herd. It was mistress Mihoshi. She has come for a visit. " Odd didn't she come visit last week?..." he muttered to himself hearing her make herself inside the Okiya.

Pushing thoughts past him he sat up in the futon and grabbed the blanket again and lied quickly back down covering his sprout of unnatural blonde hair from out the futon.
He curled up again trying to force himself back to sleep. But the nagging in the back of his mind kept teasing him.

Master of the House xxx

As the Okiya was now bustling with life of those doing morning tasks, one other particular soul had yet to be accounted for. A touch of morning rays peeked through a window looking into a well kept bedroom that had some of the more luxurious possessions within the house. Splashes of earthly tones painted an elegance to behold while a scent mixed of floral and fresh fruit lingered in the air. The only thing out of place was a red and blue kimono tossed aside on the hard wood floor. A garment which had seen quite a bit of action the previous night now bundled in a messy pile.

A delicate ring chime barely stirred sleeping occupant huddled in the warmth of his blankets. Long strands of silvery hair fell across the pillow which he rested his head on. Soft snores filled the room and seemed to drown out a light knock from nearby. Usually the first one up at the crack of dawn, InuTakeshi would see that every servant, mikos and geisha would be awake at their respected times. As trusted and loyal Master of the House he was strict on preciousness and order. However there were the odd times that even he was up late into the twilight hours entertaining high paying clients. Last night was one of those occasions he wouldn't dare let slip through his fingers. As for the consequence he had one serving of saki too many. Able to tolerate beverages of such nature it appeared to have lured him into a deeper sleep. Now it was well into the morning hours and a servant who came to prep his daytime attire couldn't even wake him.

The dog daiyokai may have very well slept in if not for Mihoshi's presence entering into the house. Heightened senses alerted and urged him to wake up. Mihoshi-sama! Instantly he regained consciousness, moving too quickly too soon and experiencing blood rush, and hoisted himself out of bed. Wearing only a grey yukata draped over his shoulders he hurried to get ready for the day. Stripping out of one garment InuTakeshi found the dark purple yukata with white socks laid out on the foot of his blankets. Dressed elegantly yet simple he made sure to brush his hair perfectly and double check the golden glint in his eyes. How could one expect others in the house to be at their best if he himself couldn't set an example. Sleeping in was bad enough and against principles.

Light and swift on his feet the dog daiyokai hurried to do a quick head count of the servants already awake. Golden eyes quickly looked around, nose sniffing the air to catch all the invisible scents, to find one neko missing. Stopping a young female servant he asked with an air of dominance, "Where is Yukato-san?" Bowing to her master she mentioned that he'd been up late last night and perhaps still asleep. "I will see to him myself. Continue as you were and make sure Mihoshi-sama is made comfortable in my absence. I shall be there shortly," he dismissed the fe with a flick of his hand. The servant hurried off to do her bidding.

InuTakeshi turned about and headed for the maid's sleeping quarters. He didn't have to see Yukato to know that he was somewhere nearby. Following the neko's scent he approached the room entryway and reached out with clawed fingertips to knock twice. At least not to be impolite he could honestly say he knocked upon entering the room. Without hesitation his brisk footsteps came to a halt beside the occupied futon. "Awake Yukato-san-" a commanding tone growled from his lips. If any other day he'd turn a blind eye and let the neko sleep in. But this morning was an entirely different matter. "Mihoshi-sama honours us with her presence in the house and should not be kept waiting." Without warning clawed fingertips reach out and grasp tightly onto the edge of the blanket. In one swift motion he attempted to rid Yukato of his warmth and pull aside the blanket. "Up. Now. I will not repeat myself again." This was the daiyokai's final (fair) warning with even a more stricter tone.

Yukato could hear foot steps as his ears flickered by reflex under his covers, he had thought nothing of them being the masters, or anyone of importance until it was too late. He just wished he was able to get a few more moments to himself before the night began. His ear perked slightly as he herd the door tap, and quickly open, and to his surprise Master Takeshi of all people to enter. His heart nearly stopped as he herd his stern voice as he felt he only wanted to make himself feel smaller and curl up even more in the blanket. He felt as the blanket was pulled off of him, and the sting of the cold evening air was daunting, but a most certain way to awaken quickly....He curled up out of reflex, his white under kimono wrapped and distorted from a sign of a rough nights sleep.

Yukato closed his eyes one last time as he took in a deep sigh, already feeling the weight of his lack of sleep weighing down upon him already. He knew it was going to be a long night for him. With out another hesitation, he slowly stood up, and removed himself from his futon and faced Master Takeshi keeping his glance down and bowed lightly, fixing his kimono quickly, trying to look a little more composed. He could tell from the tone of his voice he was serious. " S...sorry Master Takeshi." He said in a low tone as he kept his head bowed in his respects. " It was...it was just a late night. I was not aware Mistress MIhoshi was coming today." Yukato said as his ears flickered, hearing Mihoshis sounds thought the Okiya. He had wondered why she was here, especially after just coming a few days ago. His mind only raced as he could only imagine what could possibly be going on, or if something happened last night. Ykato put the thoughts past him as he bowed deeper in respects, " I will be ready quickly.." Yukato said as his tail flickered in annoyance, and nerves.

Golden orbs watched as Yukato got up from his futon, fixed his kimono, and respectfully showed submissive behaviour. Apology accepted InuTakeshi found himself thinking exactly what the neko said. Nor was I aware of Mihoshi-sama coming at this hour... Indeed it was a late night for us both. For that I will not punish you. Paused in silence he tried to think of a compromise that might be in this boy's favour. As the master he wasn't all strict and mean. Rarely he had moments that only a few had the luxury of witnessing. From the corner of his gaze he noticed the flickering of Yukato's tail. Yet at the same time pleased by the response. "Good. Once you are ready you shall bring refreshments for Mihoshi-sama and myself. Should she dismiss you from there I will permit you some time to rest before your duties. Understood?"

Not wanting to keep this servant any longer than need be, the dog daiyokai turned about and strutted out of the room in one elegant, flowing motion. He too silently wandered what brought the mistress here for a visit. And past experiences taught him to leave such thoughts unspoken. He never dared question or inquire about Mihoshi's intentions (unless absolutely necessary). Vanishing into the hallways he tugged on the hem of his yukata to make sure it was perfectly straightened. If his guess was correct the female servant should be tending to Mihoshi this very moment.

Yukato was silent and still and the Master spoke quickly and kept it short. Yukatos porsure was relaxed as his ears perked as he herd that if the Mistress had no particular assignments for him, he could have a small rest before hand. " Thank you Master Takeshi, I will do my best then." Yukato said with truth in his voice, but also trying to look for the words wanting to be herd. Yukato had a past for misbehavior, and after a dose of the reality outside the Okiya, he was truly trying to fix his addatude and search for way of improvements in his performance in the Okiya.

As the Master had left he lifted his head and went to slide the door closed so that he could clean the room. He quickly knelt and rolled the remaining futons up and placed them in small cupboard like furniture with the rest of the beddings, and folded the blankets placing them neatly in there place.
He then put on his uniform esq Kimono that all the servant men wore in the Okiya, and quite similar to the servant girls as well. He tied his obi quickly, and fixed his hair a bit. It had used to be very long and elegant, until an accident happened that lead him to having to cut off the long ash locks, and he was still adjusting to the hair style. ....He glanced in a mirror for just a moment as he had finished up preparing himself and quickly strolled out of the room.

First thing was first, prepare some hot tea, and some snacks for the Mistress and Takeshi. He moved along the halls as a girl that had spoken to the master before came running up to Yukato. " did the master find you sleeping in ? hmm?.." The small girl said as she followed Yukato. He only sighed and rubbed a little under his eye, " Indeed he did, but think nothing of it, he seems to be in a nervous mood, Mistress Mihoshi is back today and we are not sure why. Make sure things are in order please, and don't mess anything up ok? ..." Yukato said to the girl as she had smiled at him and nodded ..." do you think they are picking a Miko today ? or promotion for Geisha?" the girl said with a tone of hope and excitement in her voice. Yukato sighed and shrugged it off, " I don't know, but if that is the case I will let you know. I will be serving them this morning." Yukato said to the girl and gave her a small nudge. It was apparent she was excited, for when Mihoshi comes close to days in a row, something new is going to happen, and usually it was never bad. If it was bad, she never needed Master Takeshi's assistance for the most part. "I will let you know the news as soon as possible ok?..." Yukato told the girl as she smiled and ran off. It was very clear she was hoping to become a Miko, and who knows, she was a lovely girl, and had potential, and never caused trouble. So she might stand a chance of becoming one.

As he came to the kitchen like quarters, everyone was running around. It seemed a lot more busy then usual, and that was good, anticipation of a good night is good money, which meant sometimes much better choice of food!
Aside from his thoughts on food, and prepared some hot tea, collected some snacks and waited for one of the cooks to prepare something nice and warm for the Mistress and Master. Yukato did his work in silence as his ears flickered not hearing any traces of Mihoshi near by. He waited patiently for the cooks before he would bring the refreshments and snack to the meeting quarters where they always started their meetings.

.............. ★• Mihoshi •★...................
............ Mistress of the Okiya

[ location: In her private room > A room ]
[ With: No one ]
[ le ooc land:...]

The mistress walked down the halls slowly as space was made for her as the busy servants and Mikos prepared for he evening. She had a small glint of a smile as she was pleased so far with what she has seen. She always knew she left her number one Okiya in the best of hands. She had to be strict and tough at times, but being number one didn't come with being lazy and foolish. Of all her Okiyas this was also her most treasured and valued for her chance to accept both male and female style Geisha work here. It was her only co-ed male and female Okiya, compared to her just girl and just boy ones. And her other themed Okiyas with just vampires, and just nekos, and just kitsune. This one was new, and exciting, and a little bit of everything for everyone here. Mihoshi took a moment as she walked down the halls for a moment to herself. The day was such struggle for her. Usually this is not the case with her. She had thought to herself maybe she had rushed things, or took a lot in her own hands, but things had to be taken care of.
She watched as a few maids ran in the halls of the okiya, hurrying to finish some tasks the elder maids have given them.

Making her way to her private quarters she opened her sliding doors and made her way inside, and lit a few of the candles around her slowly. She sat at her small like table desk on the floor and pulled out some papers and stamps. She was preparing for the arrival of the new maid soon to come this day and she wanted things to be prepared and ready. She was eager for the head of the servants to make their way down to help handle the new business, but for now, it did not matter until the girl will arrive. She did however call for a small girl maid to come forth, and asked her to retrieve the Master Takeshi and notify him of her presents in her quarters. " Just who I needed to see." Mihoshi said as she beaconed for the girl to come forth to her, and let the girl bow. The girl had been here at the Okiya a while now. The girl never caused much trouble, aside from mischief, and jokes with the others in the Okiya, but nothing so serious Mihishi could recall that made her blood boil, or linger on. "listen girl, we will have a new maid come soon, She is Neko, a little young I was told. Tell you're head servant master of what is going on and to prepare of ruer arrival. Keep her away from clients for a while until she knows our ways. " MIhoshi said.
New comers to the Okiya had to go through a small process to make sure they would not let the Okiya lose face to such important clients, Mihoshi wanted to make sure the girl would not cause trouble to everyone. " I will need you in the mean time, to prepare you're room for her. She will room with you now. Collect a new futon for her, gather some belongings for her, like new kimono, and other items." Mihoshis mind seemed a little scattered as she ruffled through her papers and books.

She will want Takeshi present in accepting the new girl, or in some cases, sending them back. Mihoshi was nervous for she never felt with this sort of well, dealer, before. She herd by word of mouth he had a beautiful young , and rare, neko child. Mihoshi was prepared to do what she needed to do to have such rare creatures in this Okiya, and she was willing to have a look, and if the price was right, then things might turn for the best for her if she invested in the child.
But first things first. She sent the servant girl to fetch the Master.

She pulled out her smoking pipe as she lit it softly, and took a few puffs as she began looking over the paper work before Takeshi arrived.

Even though he was in the presence of the servants, InuTakeshi made sure to keep an air of authority and dominance as he swiftly made his way through the halls. Walking tall and silent he reached out with his senses to make sure that everything was in order. Voices from some of the younger servants chattering while they do their chores. Older servants gossiping as they supervised those around them. Delicious aromas lingering from the kitchen told him that the refreshment preparations were underway. Personally he made sure that all refreshments were of the freshest quality possible. Leftovers were then permitted to the servants. Nothing goes to waste and nothing gets spoiled.

Stopped momentarily by a young male servant, the dog daiyokai goes over a list of beverages for tonights' clientele. Delicately taking hold of the written list between his fingertips he scanned over these items once more. Odd. There were two items missing. Questioning the boy it was evident that an inventory check needed to be done. This simply would not do. "Have the head servant send someone to me within the hour," he clearly instructed. "We will have to purchase some more before we open tonight." Handing the list back InuTakeshi resumed his tour through each hallway. Silently calculating each step he hoped to give Mihoshi a moment or so to settle in before he sees her.

Right on cue that young girl the mistress sent to fetch him appeared around the corner. Swiftly he stepped around to take the lead while the fe servant escorted him to Mihoshi's private room. Light on his feet he barely made a sound upon approaching the door. Just as he was going to reach out there was a second's pause as he made sure to have complete composure. At least until he was out if the servant's sight. Once alone with the mistress he'll ease somewhat. All for the sake of keeping up appearances. Tap tap tap A light knock announced the daiyokai's arrival. Shuffling a step aside for the girl to open the door he elegantly flowed into the room and stood in front of his long-time business friend. "Mihoshi-sama," InuTakeshi greeted her respectfully with a bow of his head. He would remain on his feet unless / when permitted to sit. "It is a pleasure to see you again as you honour us with your presence. You wished to see me personally?"

Golden orbs caught a glimpse of papers resting on her desk. Instantly something told him that this wasn't just a casual visit. Not once did he dare advert his attention away from the mistress. "I have requested refreshments to be brought. If you wish to have something while we speak."

Mihoshi glanced up as she slowly took the pipe from her red lips and placed it gently on the table, the tobacco still burning lightly. She made a small bow of her head and motioned for Takeshi to come in and have a seat in front other. "Ah Takeshi how have you been? ..sorry for coming again in such a short time, and un-announced but I have had some news to tell you that I find might be fitting for the Okiya here." She said as she gave him a small letter that held the description and request of them accepting a new neko girl to the Okiya.

The mistress took her pipe again and took a few drags of the tobacco as she slowly smoked, watching Takeshi's extrusions, which were almost non existent. Before he was down reading she began to explain the letter and its contents . " This basically is a wonder explaining how he has come across this neko girl from the high northern moutons, for which I have yet to have my hands on such a creature this. Neko, but seems from his description she is just a rare beauty, and I think she might do well to stay here in you're Okiya." She said as she hooded a little in her agreement with herself. A rough sketch of the girl was included, as to indicate what she had looked like at the bottom of the letter.

She looked at some other papers that had some finical records upon them, and the cost it would to have another maid, and just how much they could profit or lose. " I say we start her as a maid, and get to see how she is around this place, and maybe in a few years if it shows promise, see if she is Miko material. But her coming from such ruel area, it might be difficult at her current age. If she had only come to us sooner..." Mihoshi said as she looked very pressed for thought in gathering her thoughts together, but it was not all on her, she had wanted to hear her friends side as well. " But I'm only afraid of what her attitude might be since she is Neko. I know we have issues in the past sometimes with neko, but maybe thats just me. " She said shaking her head a little, " but I'd like to think we have such good team here, she can be managed well..."

Mihoshi looked at a few other papers with expenses, and other issues of resolve for later, but for now she was waiting for the man to come bring the girl. " The girl will be arriving any time now, and we must prepare for her." It was very apparent Mihoshi wanted to bring this girl in weather Takeshi wanted to bring her in or not. But including him in matters such as this was important to keep the communication flowing between the two and keep things going smoothly in the Okiya.
She placed the papers down and looked to her friend as she gave a small sigh of her scattered mind, and trying to get it organized. "Other then this matter, how are things running here? I have herd chatter it was a good night yesterday?"

Spects of light danced along the quiet room walls when the sun rays hit the glass wings of each butterfly hanging from the chime in the window. A small breeze drifted in causing the glass figurines to sway and clink into each other wildly, almost as if they were trying to break free from the rope around them to escape to freedom. It was a gift from the Geisha's first client, vampire of course, but he was one to remember. Poor fellow had been quite nervous about the whole thing which was quite surprising. Most strutting in, chests puffed out like some proud peacock with a look on their face that read trouble. This man however was a jittery mess the whole time which made Ayame even uncomfortable. He played with the hem of his shirt when questioned but it got worse when asked about what he wanted out of their time together. Even making eye contact was like pulling teeth so once the drinking was done and the guest was satisfied he left quickly without a word. Even today it stunned Ayame how fast he bolted from the room, like a teenager who had stole a first kiss after confessing love to another. It wasn't their last meeting because the man came back and gave him the chime, admitting sheepishly that he noticed the butterfly tattoo on Ayame's back and thought he liked them. This actually caused great annoyance for Ayame. Each client that came in seeking to spend time with him saw the chime and tattoo so they too gifted him with things that had the damn insect on it. He hated butterfly's and that was the truth, having one on his back had been a small thing he did for his mother who passed away when he was young. She loved them dearly and he loved her so Ayame chose to do this for to keep a small piece of her close.

"So annoying. Why in the hell do I have to think about such things for?" Ayame questioned himself out loud, glad no one was around because they might question his sanity for talking to himself. Well, seems how he was awake and mind already working the males violet eyes fluttered open, glaring at the chime when annoyed that it caused such thoughts to enter his head every morning. It was tempting to take the damn thing down and hide it with the other gifts in his closet, but he couldn't. The chime was also a sweet reminder that not everyone in this world was horrible because the person who gave it to him was far from it. Ayame finally kicked the sheets off of him and struggled out of his futon in sloth speed, ignoring the fact that he was nude due to how hot it was last night. He shared a room with no one so the male cared less because no one would know unless they walked in or he decided to tell someone. Ha, as if... Ayame smirked and shook his head at how idiotic he was in the morning and started to wash up using the jug of water and basin in the corner of his room. Luckily the water was cold and gave the brown hair male chills as he ran the cloth along his shoulders and chest. He had to scrub hard to wipe away sweat so the smell didn't stay. Ayame was pretty sure his guests wouldn't appetite it and would complain which would get him in serious trouble. He cared about looking and smelling good for himself and everyone else so that never had been a problem before. With this being said, Ayame finished washing himself and made his way to the closet packed full of junk, pulling out a simple dark purple kimono to wear today. Nothing appeared to be on it but the fabric was soft to the touch which was the kind he liked best. Even being able to put it on without help was a plus because at first, getting everything just right had been hell. Ayame hated having to ask for help so he tried it himself several times and now could put one on like a pro. Wrinkles where smoothed out with a firm hand and obi twisted this way and that until it looked perfect, Ayame stayed right in front of the mirror and didn't move until satisfied.

The rest took less time then the actual washing and dressing did, hair was brushed out until it laid flat then left alone like his face was because he usually skipped the makeup all together. Hungry and still sleepy Ayame walked out of his room yawning and headed towards the kitchen area to grab something to eat. Maybe he could even find staff along the way and complain about the butterfly kimono's if he had time to listen of course. He was tired of the whole butterfly pattern silk that took up his closet and wanted different ones if possible. Ayame's daydreaming ended when he found himself finally stepping into the cozy kitchen, still warm from the goods baked for everyone. A small smile graced the geisha's lips as he found the basket full of muffins, liking fresh made ones the best so of course he planned to snag a few. Ayame found as he plucked the first one out with nimble fingers that they where extremely hot. Quickly dropping it into a handkerchief and two more joined soon after, the the ends gently to not smash the food afterwards, licking the tips of his fingers to try to cool the sting away. Satisfied Ayame left the kitchen and headed outside to enjoy his food, too lazy to walk back to his room from still being half asleep. The only good part about mornings was seeing for himself what gone on the night before with everyone else. Marks on necks and wherever else the guest chose to bite stood out quite clearly, Ayame had a few too but they where at the bruising stage." Tender to the touch actually. Damn vampires cant bite anywhere else but at the same spot someone else drank from." Ayame mentally corrected himself with a roll of his violet eyes and found himself smiling again when arriving in the garden. All the flowers where blooming beautifully and he hoped to get the chance to draw them before they wilted. Taking a seat on one of the stone benches he slowly untied the small pouch he made and started to eat, lightly tossing bits of his food to the birds when they came around.
