Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hearing the knock at the door Mitsu's ears perked turning her head in its direction. There was no follow up or calling out of who it might be. Curious. Leaving the book she had been reading sitting on her bed Mitsu picked up her new mask and placed it on her face before moving to the door. Mac usually called out so it probably wasn't him.....Hopefully. Mitsu really didn't want her new mask to be taken too. The reaper hadn't said she couldn't get another one but...something told her he wouldn't like the fact that she had.

Unlocking the door Mitsu slowly eased it open peeking out to see, "Oh Mot!" There was a delighted tone of surprise to her voice as she opened the door a bit wider. "You made it here." Mitsu had been curious when the reaper had asked for directions to her room. It also left a slightly guilty feeling in her stomach. Had he gotten lost when he had brought her back to her room that one night? Maybe he just couldn't remember how to get here. It was possible, the monster dorms were much like a maze. Sometimes Mitsu wondered where her block of cheese was when she got to her room.

Stepping back Mitsu allowed the cowboil to enter her room. If Mot had a good memory he would notice she had made an attempt to decorate since the last time he had been there. Seeds weren't abundant so it wasn't much, mostly a couple of posters of scenery and a collage of pictures of her friends and family on a cork board behind her bed.

Mitsu smiled behind her new mask, part of her mouth actually exposed so that it could be seen. "I..I'm glad. I know I got lost the first few times. I had to take notes on how to get to my room and followed them like a map." Because the lycan's sense of direction just wasn't that great. Hopefully it would improve.

Following Mot's line of vision Mitsu looked toward the cork board she had over her bed. "Y..yeah I tried to decorate after the last time you were here. I think I'm going to save up and get some furniture or something." It would probably take a while but eventually she hoped the room would look nice.

As Mot made his way toward the cork board Mitsu followed climbing up on her bed so she could better point things out. "Most of these picture are from Prom. Xiu gave them to me. I have a couple I took on my own." It looked like the baku had given her quite a few pictures of people that had been there that night. Levi and Mot dancing, the hip thrusting event, the group at the table eating sausages, and her and Shun dancing. Some of the other pictures that Mitsu had taken mostly involved Milo, the little boafox seemed to be rather photogenic. There were a few of Ziggy but most of them were blurred. It was like the acrobat couldn't sit still. And of course Shun. His expression was mostly the same in every picture though it seemed at times Mitsu had caught him with a slightly softer expression. Sneak attack photos.

Aside from those there were older pictures. A middle age couple, one a tall broad man with black hair and a beard and a lovely woman with long silver hair parted away from her face. There were only a couple with the two most of them with a little white haired ghoul with big bright red eyes and a teenage boy with dark gray hair and clouded grey eyes. Most of other photos seemed to have the teenage boy or pictures of when he had gotten older.

"This is my brother, Ginji." Mitsu hesitantly pointed to one of the pictures. It wasn't hard to guess from the way the boy held himself that he couldn't see. He seemed rather happy though as the years went on and he grew older that smile looked somewhat forced. "And these are my parents." She pointed to the older couple.

"I never would have thought of that." That was a really good idea. Maybe Mot would help her find a few things on garbage day. It would certainly save her a lot of money. "I've never really been to a flea market, though I do go to the thrift stores." She could always find neat second hand things there.

Looking back to the pictures Mitsu zeroed in on her brother. "He was." She said softly maybe a touch of sadness to her voice. The past tense was probably enough for Mot to guess that the lupine's brother was no longer around. He had been with her the majority of her life, much longer than her parents had, but like them he had vanished. "Do you have any siblings?" Mitsu decided to refocus the subject, hoping the change would take hold.

A soft sort of smile started to peek out from below her mask as Mitsu gave a nod. "Yes." Spending more time with the reaper did sound fun. Mot was usually cheerful except for after the incident with Shun. His smile was rather infectious making the lycan want to smile as well.

Like Mot before Mitsu couldn't find much else to say other than, "Oh." To his answer. "T..they can be a pain at times but I love my brother." Mitsu assured looking back to the picture for a moment. He had usually been rather cheerful and high spirited when Mitsu was around but she could tell at times it had been for show. He hadn't wanted her to worry or feel like something was wrong. But she could tell something was off but she hadn't figured out what and never had a chance to.

"So did you have trouble at all finding the room?" Mitsu asked moving to the side of the bed so she could sit and let her legs dangle over the side. She patted the spot next to her so that Mot knew he could have a seat as well.

As soon as Mot mentioned her smile it faded and Mitsu brought her hands up to the parts of her face that her mask did not cover. It was like she was embarrassed by the fact though it was hard to say why.

"T..the fifth time?" He had really come that many times to see her? Or try to anyway. It was a curious thing to know he had tried again and again despite the problems he had evidently had trying to find her room. "I-I'm glad you made it." Mitsu nodded finally pulling her hands away from her face. "I didn't realize you had that much trouble with the dorms. Though...I can't say that I could find my way to anyone else's room either." Mitsu had no idea where Levi was though she knew she was in the building. Or Junko for that matter. She was lucky enough to get to her room and back out again.

"I'm sorry you got lost..." Mitsu felt kind of bad. Mot had gotten lost helping her back to her dorm...and he had been hit because she hadn't clarified to Shun who had scared her. She just brought all sorts of problems to the poor cowboil.

"F...fear." Again Mitsu's hand touched her mask as her head dipped shyly. She knew all about that, letting her fears control her. Maybe Mot and her had more in common than she thought, though he was trying to do something about it. Mitsu just kept hiding.

"I..I think I know what you mean." She said softly.

Mitsu gave a sheepish nod. Hiding behind a security blanket did help. Or at least it helped HER feel better. So many people were trying to get her to get rid of the mask. Why did it matter so much to them if she had it or not?

"I'm not sure where to start.." Mitsu mumbled softly. True she had already started in a way. To face her fear of cats...she now owned a cat. Not that it helped her with other cats and at times she was just as fearful of Ziggy but it was a start.

"We were worried about you," Mitsu nodded to Mot's admittance to being down. And by we she meant her, Hel, Lizzy, and a few others. Mot was a good friend, a cheerful cowboil who should never have to frown. But as far as feeling sorry for yourself not accomplishing anything.. "I..I suppose it doesn't."
