"Just because I'm pretty......"  ❤Soon as they were being dropped by the bus.. While clinging unto her bag, Ayu decides to see the gardens first.. She would be bringing her bag later once she feels doing it..
Looking at the set up.. This is her first time seeing a different themed garden.. The reception says that its a Zen Garden.. Hmm.. A japanese themed? Since Aisaka Shrine is really a japanese era set up though.. Placing her bag at the bench.. She let herself slouch on it and sigh.. Hmm.. Tranquil and very aspiring..
Maybe later she would be looking for her friends and invite them to explore Aisaka Shrine.. There were lots of places.. She couldn't help but to wonder.. Where is Abel anyway?❤ "....doesn't mean that I'm happy!" *exit*

After stopping off at the boy's apartment to change out of his soaked clothes, Percy decided a visit to somewhere more peaceful was in order. With a bit of perseverance and a lot of backtracking, he managed to make his way to the Zen garden, where he proceeded to carefully make his way along the provided stemming stones to the nearest bench. Once there, he plopped down, sighing in relief. Now this place was definitely peaceful. No chance of random drowning girls around here.... right?
In a little while, he'd probably head off and try to find some of his friends, but for now he was completely content to sit and enjoy the silence by himself.

Some time before that field trip began, Malade started to feel like something was lodged in one of his lungs and seriously thought about staying behind and going to see the family doctor. But he hated her and all doctors like her, and he thought that maybe the fresh air around the place could help. As soon as they arrived, he went straight for the most relaxing place he could think of, the zen garden.
As much as he loved a little chaos and destruction, he had always wanted a mini zen garden. One of those that you could put on a desk and rake the little sand into swirls. Maybe with a tiny tree too. With peaceful thoughts in mind, he wandered around the zen garden, being careful not to disturb the combed rocks on the ground. He coughed in his hand and looked up to see someone sitting on a bench nearby.
His eyes narrowed, a little disappointed that someone else was there, ruining the tranquility. "Hello," He reluctantly greeted him, having a bit of difficulty getting across the stepping stones. It was enough that he had the stupid rooster feet, but his toe was still healing from his fall a while back as well. "How are you?" He asked when he finally made it to solid ground, not really wanting to say much. The place was so quiet that it felt like even the slightest sound would shatter the peace.

Percy looked away from where he was counting the lines in the gravel as a voice wafted its way to his ears. So much for solitude, but hopefully the newcomer understood exactly why one came to a Zen Garden. Now who?... Oh. It was Malade. He blinked. He didn't think he had actually seen Malade once since the day he had met him... When he was a girl. Right, so technically they hadn't met yet, at least, Percy hadn't met him. Sometimes it was frustrating trying to keep track of who he had already met in which body...
"Hey." Percy waved. "I'm doing fine. Just enjoying the scenery and whatnot, soaking in some peace and quiet." He lapsed back into silence, not wanting to say more than he needed to. The place was far too quiet for casual conversation, or at least, he wanted it to be.

Malade nodded and sat down next to him on the bench, glad to hear he understood what zen meant. He stared at the plants, trying to see if he could name any of them. Not a single one. But he wouldn't have been able to point out any plants back home either, so it wasn't surprising. He glanced at the boy next to him briefly, not sure if he recognized him from somewhere. He seemed a little familiar, but it could always be his mind playing tricks on him.
Though the place was supposed to have a calming effect, Malade was starting to get a little anxious, slightly bothered by the silence and lack of life. Maybe the mini zen garden was a bad idea, considering he couldn't sit still in a real one for very long. He felt a coughing fit coming up from the back of his throat, but he refused to make a sound. He held his breath to keep it at bay, annoyed that the clean air didn't seem to help at all.
Now bored and unable to breathe properly, he felt compelled to do something. Specifically something to pester the guy next to him. After a moment of thinking, he ran a hand through his hair (inwardly cursing when he hit a horn), and slowly and stealthily crept an arm around the guy's shoulders. He mentally placed bets on whether he would jump up, shout, or maybe even pretend not to notice. He wasn't sure which would be funniest.

Percy felt the hair on the back of his neck bristle and his face grow hot as Malade's fingers came into contact with his shoulder. Usually, he would have... done something extremely energetic. Been incredibly awkward or jumped up and started babbling some nonsense about not being gay, and not being his type... an action along those lines. But he had already been through that stuff once today, with a girl he had saved from drowning no less. He was really getting tired of all sorts of random people coming onto him, it almost seemed like it was some sort of secret sport or something. Make Percy feel awkward-ball, or something along those lines.
"Ooookay." He said, standing up and turning to face Malade. "That's what we do here is it? Well that's fantastic, thanks. You could've just said you wanted the place to yourself mate." He threw his hands up in exasperation. Or is that the sort of thing you just do for kicks? Trust me, next time just go for the grope. It's much more awkward." He shoved his hands into his pockets. "Enjoy the garden Malade. I'm out."

Well, his reaction was certainly unexpected. Malade just lost a bet with himself. He half-coughed half-laughed into his hand, nose wrinkling at the slight copper taste in his mouth. Gross, but he had to deal with this guy first. He wiped his hand on his shirt and stood up as well. "Hey, chill out. I was only kidding around, alright? No need to throw a fit," He tried to calm him down, surprised by how fast he snapped. His patience must have been as strong as a twig for him to flip out like that.
Wait, grope? Maybe he would if he actually knew the guy and was interested, but even then, that would be a bit much from him. It sounded more like something Marcellin would do. "Come on, take a jo--" He cut himself off when he registered something bizarre that he said. He called him by name, but he didn't remember ever giving it to him. He crossed his arms and stared him down, wondering what the hell this was about. "You have no right to complain. At least I'm not some creepy stalker like some people," Of course, that was the first explanation that came to mind thanks to his stalker of a cousin, and about half of the rest of his family as well.

...What kind of excuse was that? I was just messing around, at least I'm not a stalker? Percy frowned. If that was an attempt to placate him it wasn't a very good one. He didn't see how Malade not being a stalker made his joke any less annoying. Even so, knowing now that it was a joke made Percy feel a little bad about his reaction. He really should have known it was a joke, despite his earlier encounter at the river. It was just weird that someone would do something so forward to some random person they had never even met-
Oh. He got the stalker quip now. Malade meant that Percy was a stalker, cause he didn't know Percy, but Percy knew him. He groaned. "No. Just... No. I'm not a stalker. We've met, I just looked different, sorry. I forgot about it, not that we had met, didn't forget about that, I forgot I don't look the same as before. I sort of shape change... at random sometimes." He pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. "Look, sorry about the reaction, it's just been a hell of a day. Nerves are a little shot is all..."

That definitely sounded like a bullshit excuse made up in two seconds flat. Did he really expect him to believe that he just happened to be some sort of shapeshifter who had met him before, but he just didn't know it because he looked different? But then again, Rosentale was weird and full of things even weirder, but it still felt like an excuse to him.
"Sure, sure," he sighed out, sitting back down on the bench. He dismissed his apology with a wave of his hand, reassuring him, "No, it's fine. I've had bad days too, and I know how it feels. You probably need this garden more than I do. I only came for the fresh air, and it doesn't seem to help anything."
"So, are you staying or going? If you choose to stay, I promise I won't do anything else questionable," He asked as he pat the empty spot beside him, though he didn't really care what his choice was. And that promise would probably be a lie if he stayed anyway.

Terra wandered aimlessly around the place. The halls were pretty cool, how some of the ones on the outside were open on one side. Intrigued, she left through one of the openings and started wandering around the grounds. She ended up by a rather strange looking garden. The sand is combed in patterns and stuff. That is... that's weird, she thought, and then glanced up to spot two boys over by a bench, on the other side of a stepping-stone pathway. "Oh," she said aloud, not having realized there were other people there. Terra did a quick calculation in her head, and realized the garden must be one of those ones where people came to for peace, and, like, inner harmony and stuff. And one of the boys looked like he was just arriving or just leaving. It seemed like the kind of place people would come to be alone. Oops. "Sorry," she said, after a brief pause, and started to back up, a tiny bit proud of herself for being so conscientious. “Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

Percy pulled a face. "Er... Alright. You know, I think I'll just ah, leave you to it then. Yeah, let you get your fresh air on your own." It seemed like Malade had bought his explanation about being a shape shifter, but he didn't really feel like sitting down next to the guy again, promises or not. He just wanted to find a nice place to sit down and not be hit on... or, joke hit on. Whatever.
What happened next made his opinions on the matter change slightly. A small noise behind him caused him to spin around in an attempt to find the source, and in doing so, he accidentally made brief eye contact with the girl responsible for the sound. He winced as he felt his body start to shift, stretching and shrinking in uncomfortably painful ways. Well of course this would happen. Save a girl from drowning without looking her in the eyes? Easy. Have said girl come on to you without looking her in the eyes? Sure, why not? See ONE RANDOM GIRL ACROSS THE ROOM? Nope, gotta make eye contact.
She felt dizzy, probably a combination of the exhaustion of her ordeal at the river, the sudden unexpected transformation and the, well, spinning suddenly. "No no... It's f-fine..." She managed to call to the girl. "Garden's open for all... You know, maybe I will sit down... for a mo." She plopped down on the bench next to Malade, shut her eyes, and let her head drop forward, at least till the dizziness passed.

Malade leaned to the side and looked past Percy when he heard a female voice, spotting some girl apologizing and looking ready to leave. "Hey, you don't have to leave just because we're here," he reassured her before looking back at Percy seeing him spin around and spying the girl as well. And then things got really, really weird.
He suddenly got... smaller and grew more hair, so he assumed that it was just that shapeshifting thing. But then when he... err, she turned back around, it was a she. He knew something, something that he hated more than pretty much anything, that could do the same exact thing. So, when she sat down next to him, looking a little dizzy, he was debating whether to help her or ditch her.
He found a good balance and simply scooted away slightly, giving her a suspicious look. "You're not an incubus... or succubus, are you?" He just had to ask, because he was sick of all those disgusting maggots crawling all around in his family. They were a disgrace to demons and they bred like rabbits, so if she was one of them, he didn't want to be anywhere near her. He glanced up at the other girl with a hopeful look, wanting her to help since, if she did happen to be one of those disturbing creatures, she would at least have someone to take care of her.

She was about to turn and leave when one of the boys caught her eye, and then... What the hell just happened? ... then he wasn't a boy anymore. Terra stared, shocked, for quite a few moments, before she remembered what she had been told before coming to Rosentale. "A school for all species." Okay. Okay. That's cool, no biggy. Stay calm. He's a girl now, whatevs. Take it in stride, take it in stride. Her reassurances were interrupted by a pleading look from the other - only - boy, and Terra almost laughed. Me? What the hell am I supposed to do? Her eyes jerked swiftly to the exit and back. She could still leave, but... Taking a breath, Terra made her way across the stepping stones. She stood somewhat awkwardly in front of them, not sure what to do about the newly female creature who seemed almost unconscious. Her head was slumped over anyways, and that's a clear sign of... well, of something bad. "Hey, are you alright?" she asked, shooting a quick glare at the boy, for making her deal with this. “Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

Penelope shook her head in an attempt to clear it. "What? No!" She said, sitting back up to find the other girl had gotten much closer when her eyes were closed. "I'm not some demon or something, I just have a medical condition!... Er, that sounds weird when I say it out loud... I'm human, I swear. You... you even met me, like this. Well, it was a while ago though, so you might not remember." She winced at how lame that sounded. A medical condition... right. Randomly swapping genders fit into which category of medicine? Well technically, according to any doctor she had seen about it, it actually was as far as she could tell, but still.
She blinked as the girl asked about her well-being. "Um, oh yes. I'm fine, really. It just caught me by surprise is all. The transformation I mean. Sorry... sorry about that, probably not... the first thing you expected to see when you got up this morning. I usually do a pretty good job of keeping it in check. Well, ah, maybe not a pretty good job. More of a fairly decent job... er... I'm Penelope." She smiled nervously and gave the girl a small wave. "Nice to ah... nice to meet you."
