Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I see"Omny cleared her thoat and bowed as gracfuly as she could she closed her eyes and right before she got up she smiled and said " Wellcome, I am Omny and I thank you for chosing me to spend your time with. I am a new maiko and I ask for you indulgence"

Kohana walked through the hallways, looking for a mess to clean or some dirty laundry to wash. ". . . ." She walked into the kitchen and saw a huge pile of dirty dishes. "I might as well start here..."

((Post Number 3...I think))

Rune closed the door behind her and placed the bucket inside the closet. Turning her attion to the front Rune took the broom and began to sweep. Rune looked around to see if anyone was around,but the only one around were a geisha and her maiko. She sighed bending her head down,'it's been along time since i've seen Moni,where could she be' Rune said contuieing her chores.

"That was wonderful, Omny-chan," Tora said pleased. "Now, for tea." Tora picked up the tea pot. "In Japanese culture, men have fancied the underwrists of women. It is one of the most vulnerable parts of our body," she said, showing her wrist. "We must to it descretly. Like this..." Tora pulled back the sleeve of her kimono and gracefully placed her delicate fingers on the tea pot handle. She poured the tea. "Now, for us, it's mearly pulling back our sleeve and protecting it from spills and knocking something over; however, for our patron, it's a reward." Tora placed the tea pot back onto the table. "Now, you try!" she smiled.

Moni lay outstretched on the floor......... she rubbbed her eyes.. nyah she mumbled....She ran downstairs putting on her tabi socks and heading down for brackfast. She gobbled down sushi and teriyaki chicken in her bento box. She drank all of the missou soup in one gulp.. "mmm yummy!" she thought. Moni wlaked to the closet getting out a bucket some water and a cloth to scrub the floors with. "Well better get to work.." She thought looking down at the bucket. She walked upstairs to the third floor of the house. She slid the screan door back and got down on all-fours. She dippd the cloth in the bucket fulll of luke warm water, She scrubbed hard circular motions to get all of the "goo" off of the floor. It was the middle of summer and the rooms wer all pipping hot and the room htat moni was working in was steaming.. She finished an hour or two later walking down to the kitchen again emptying out the bucket full of water.

Taking a moment away from her studies with her onee-chan Omny turned to her friend and fellow maiko Sakura, she noticed that her friend began reciting poetry."Sakura-sama wouldn't the gardens b e a better place to recite poetry?"

Hoshirei stood out side the okiya that she was brought too. She didn't know why her mother didn't tell her that she was going to be sold. She knocked on the door lightly. " Uh...Hello?" She asked. The unopened door. Her long black hair that reached her waist blew behind her in the wind.
