((OOC: All maiko should now report to the school, since classes are opening up, to take their classes. By the end of the week, each maiko should have picked 2 classes, at the VERY least, to roleplay in. These will help prepare you for when you become a geisha.))

Serena hoped her maikos had gotten the message to attend classes.

Tora smiles. "Yes I did Onee-sama Serena! I ran over as soon as I heard! I signed up for Dance and Manners!" Tora smiled again and gave a bow.

Mizu blushed, listening as the geisha Serena spoke of classes. She could remember times when she had been taught manners, grace, dancing, and playing the shamisen with her mother, but it seemed so long ago. Feeling like she had been eavesdropping, she shook her head and disappeared down a hallway, embarrassed.
A quick run through the rain took her to a small alcove surrounded by maples, cherry trees, and some bamboo, where a pavillion with a strange, wooden, swing-type construction rested under a roof. Sitting down, she hummed the first few bars of a shamisen song, knowing it would be too questionable if she practiced dancing here in the rain. Presently, she sat down, letting the raindrops splash onto her outstretched hand.
"Mizu...water...isn't water wonderful mommy?"
She could remember having said this before, but it brought a smile to her lips to repeat herself, remembering the amusement she had shared with her mother.
((Fourteen))

Slipping into the main hall, a dust rag and a mop in one had and a bucket filled to the brim with cold water in the other, Tsukasa Ai begins one of the many scrupilious tasks of dusting and mopping. Who ever saw her, as she went on with her business, thought instantly of a ghost swan dancing on the placid surface of a lake. Whenever Tsukasa was busy with her work it was hard to pull her away until she was done. She could never leave a job half done.
Even though her skeletal structure showed, you could tell the hard ships she endured through the years. The small scars that showed on her body were reminders of the cruel tirants, who had owned her before. Though none of that bothered the girl as she busied her self with the mundane tasks of the day.

((very nice posts))
Serena watched Tsukasa while she waited for her other maiko.
"Tora, would you please go tell Tome we are ready to leave for the teahouse?"Serena asked Tora.

Mizu returned from outside, wringing out the sleeves of her clothing, when she noticed the other girl. It was evident from both her hairstyle as well as her clothes that she was also a maid. Noticing the girl was dusting and mopping, she blushed and disappeared down a hallway only to return with another cleaning rag for wiping down wet floors after they had been mopped. She set about her own task, glancing at the other girl several times, wondering if she ought to be the first to speak.
Finally, screwing up her courage, she spoke.
"Hello...my name is Mizu Odoriko...n-nice to meet you?"
She got to her feet, wringing out the rag and starting again on the floor.
((Thank you Dea-san!
Fifteen))

"Yes Onee-sama Serena," Tora smiles, bowing. She walks into the Okiya and searches each room. No sign of her anywhere! Tora began to get nervouse. How could she tell Onee-sama Serena Tome-chan was missing?
((OOC: Wahh! Only two weeks left to Memoirs of a Geisha! I'm SO going to see it! Hey, about this tea house thing... should I just go over and start posting? I'd really like to become a geisha and be a big sister to someone as well! XD I got to go...))

Runs into the okiya to find her onee-sama. She croutches into a love bow with her forehead to the ground. "Forgive me, onee-sama. Classes chosen." She remains in her crouched place until she is adressed.

"There you are Tome! Tora and I are ready to go to the teahouse,"Serena said smiling at the other maiko. ((You can post in the teahouse thread, Shi))

((Right! On my way had to get a flower for my hair though.))
She nods and follows her onee-sama out looking about for the teahouse.

Serena smiles as she ushers her two maiko away from the okiya and towards the teahouse.
