Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Onee-sama?" Mizu called as she headed towards the main rooms. She wanted to be able to inform her Onee-sama of her new job at the town's salon. The work there was respectable, and it would go toward her debt in the okiya. In the end, knowing all the intricacies of a geisha's life might even help her to become a better geisha. Mizu didn't know the last part for certain, but it felt pleasant to hope so. "Onee-sama?" she called again, drifting towards the okiya's front porch.

((So few patron though...it really IS too bad...))

Blushing brightly at her Onee-sama's pet-name for her, one that she had to admit she loved dearly, she hurried to the door. "Ano Onee-sama...the salon in town is to open soon I think..." she ventured shyly. "I gained a job as the hair ornamentalist to repay a small portion of my debt to Okaa-sama..." She trailed off. She couldn't think of anything more to say, and so she let the unspoken hang between herself and her Onee-sama.

"A-Arigato gozaimashite Onee-sama," she replied, her cheeks nearly crimson at the praise. Ever since her parents' death, praise had been so rare that hearing any at all set her cheeks aflame in seconds.

Bounces in all giggly and smiling. "Hello everyone." She skips about with much energy.

((Hey Dea! Sorry I have been gone so long. Finals have just gotten over so I should have alot more time on Gaia. Oh! *bounces up and down excitedly* I found some information on geisha that might be use full. Can I post it here? Or should I PM it to one of the crew member?))

Mizu smiled, managing to force down her blush. "I'm sorry Onee-sama, they creep up on me when I don't concentrate on keeping them from my cheeks," she explained apologetically. "Will we be visiting the salon someday soon?" Mizu fingered the ends of her long black hair a bit sadly. She loved the smooth length of her hair, but becoming a geisha would mean putting a large quantity of wax in it. It was something even her mother disliked within the practice of geisha.

Mizu nodded her understanding and stood in silence by her Onee-sama, enjoying the peaceful quality of the day.

As Rune walked on she past Mizu and Serena,she bowed low and smiled sweetly. She didn't want to bother them while they were talking so she pasted by quietly still smiling. Rune headed upstairs to see if there was anything to do,but even before she stepped on the last step a maiko asked for her help. "um excuse me can you please go grab me my hair ornament it's downstairs on my shelf. "Rune bowed and smiled "Yes ma'am" she turned around and headed back down,she walked threw the hallways,she looked around but the young maiko forgot to tell her where her room was. But Rune looked around not caring,finally finding the maikos room she went to the shelf and grabed the hair ornament. It flashed as the light hit it,flowers were hanging off the end,and a little dragon span across the top. The blue and red of the dragon made her smile,but then she remembered her duty as maid is to help everyone. So she quickly put it back in the white silk and carried it back upstairs. She quickly found the young maiko "excuse me,but here is your hair ornament" Rune said pulling out the silk and bowing. "thank you" the maiko said picking up the hair ornament. "you may go on your way" She said bowing and closing the door "yes ma'am" Rune said bowing and smiling,as the maiko closed the door. "another task done...yes" Rune said laughing she started walking around and helping around.

"Nothing for me thank you," Mizu replied to the new maid with a polite smile. Her thoughts were caught up with her classes, the teahouse, and old memories.
