Ichigiku ((I simply ask that you interact with others. Wait for responses. I know it can be hard, but this is part of your journey to becoming a maiko, then a geisha. Here, I will help to start you off.)) Okaa-san slid open her door and shuffled out of her room. Walking down the hallway, she happened to find one of the new maids. "You there. Girl. Your name is Yume, yes?" Okaa-san folded her hands in front of her. "I would like you to take the tea set out of my room and down to the kitchen to be cleaned. It is the first door on the left down the hallway. The tea set is on the table." "Right away Okaa-san," Yume said bowing toward her. She gathered the tray and took it down to the kitchen to get it clear. After she got it cleaned, Yume went back to Okaa-san and asked her, "Is there anything else I can do for you, Okaa-san?" ??? post ((Thanks for helping...what post # am I on???))

[Pink Killer] Kimie looked the building up and down. She could barely contain a grin. Training to become a geisha?! People in her hometown were doubtless talking about her now..
The young girl approached the building and slid open the door quietly, taking her sandals off at the entrance. "Hello? I'm a new maid.." Kimie had a knack for having a gentle, yet audible voice at the same time.
She looked down as her hands smoothed her very simple clothing. Her hands then went to her hair, smoothing that too carefully. The last thing she wanted was to make a terrible impression to her peers.
1st post. "Hello Kimie," Yume said with her ever gentle, friendly voice, "I am too a maid at this okiya...maybe we can be friends," she said. With that said, Yume bowed down to Kimie and smiled at her sweetly. ??? post

G.E.I.S.H.A Hatsumomo took a scrubber and began to scrub the floors.As she is scrubing,the scrubber broke."Stupid Scrubbers!"said Hatsumomo as she throws the broken scrubber on the floor.Then in a few moments Hatsumomo was calm and she said " I hope no one saw me" as she walked over and got a new one. A hour or two later,Hatsumomo finished cleaning the main hallways. "Finally,I'm done."Says Hatsumomo a she wipes her forhead with her hand. 14th post "Wow Hatsumomo-san, the floors look spotless!" Yume said with an adoring look on her face, "You looked so mad at the scrubbers earlier, I thought that maybe the scrubbers wouldn't work for you...I am proved wrong." After Yume said this, she smiled sweetly at Hatsumomo and floated away. ??? post

"Aha.. Thanks.." Kimie bowed back and watched the young girl compliment another maid, and then leave. As she looked around, her duties became very clear- Cleaning, and obeying. Luckily, two things she happened to be good at.
I wonder which is my room.. or if we all share a room.. She wandered aimlessly down the halls, looking for some sort of guidance. Kimie was far too shy to ask one of the girls around her.

Yokome wandered around the okiya a little bit, still waiting for her ink that she had asked a maid for awhile ago. 'The maids seem to be getting worse and worse' Yokome thought to herself. She finally decided to go to the storeroom herself to look for it. She didn't want to be waiting forever. She looked around the store room for a little while and finally found some purple ink. She returned to her room and began to practice her calligraphy.

((Sorry that I haven't posted ^^;. It's a lot to sift through when there is so many posts ^^;; ))
Iyasu was around about in her room, rathering up what yen she needed. She sped over to Yokome's room and rolled open her door. With a smiled she said, "Ready to -- oh, are you busy now?" She watched Yokome make each brush stroke to one character and blinked.

She warched as a maid let herself, and thought she'd do the same. She followed the girl in, slid off her shoes, and gently stated her name.
"I-I'm Endoh Miharu..... a new maid to this Okiya."

Kimie jumped slightly at the voice behind her, and whirled around. Oh thank heavens.. she wouldn't be the only new one. She offered the other new maid a smile and approached her quietly.
"Intimidating, isn't it? I just hope that we can assimilate quickly!" Kimie giggled nervously and rubbed the side of her arm, feeling kind of silly now. "I guess we just wait here until someone of higher rank instructs us?"

Sadayakko saw Yokome's frustration; perhaps this would be the time she could truly become a part of the Okiya... She hesitated before standing; quietly, she walked towards Yokome.
Once she was near Yokome, Sadayakko knelt. She prayed that she wasn't making a nuisance or a fool of herself, but she so wanted something more to do than merely sit.
"May I serve you in any way?" Sadayakko asked Yokome gently. "I am new here; however, if you wish it, I will do whatever I may to assist you."

'Oh no, Iyasu I was just practicing a little while I waited for you. I am ready to leave.' Yokome said. Yokome then turned to the maid. 'Thank you for your offer. Iyasu and I were just getting ready to leave, could you get our shoes for us? Your help is appreciated.'

"I-I'm a little nervous..... what happens if they don't want me?" She looked up into the maid's eyes. "Will they throw me out?" She asked with timidity and naievity.

Sadayakko nodded quickly before retrieving Iyasu's and Yokome's shoes. It was such a relief to finally do something other than wait! Yokome seemed quite nice as well; she loved meeting people like her.
Sadayakko knelt before Yokome and placed the shoes before her. However, now she was at a loss. After all, she was a maid, and a new one at that. Was she expected to put the shoes on Yokome and Iyasu? But she chose to keep her silence instead, and let a slight smile settle on her lips.

Kimie smiled and shrugged. "You can never have too many maids, I guess! But I doubt they'd throw you out.. they look like a rather.. accepting... and loving bunch."
As she said this, she looked around. Most everyone were in their rooms with apprentices and whatnot. The new maid sighed and shifted her weight onto her other leg. "Just wait until someone tells us to do something, I suppose.."

'Thank you Sadayakko-chan, we can take it from here' Yokome said while slipping into her sandals.

Kyoku stepped out of her room in full regalia for the night parties ahead. Her gleaming black hair was full of lovely jade combs and the layers of precious silk she wore made the softest rustling sound. She wore a brilliant pastel mint green kimono, with embroidered peacocks flying around the hem up to her hips. The laquered threads glistened in the candle light from her bedroom, the jewel broach on her rich royal blue obi sparkled.
"Maid!" She called slightly impatiently for a maid, tugging slightly at her collar while she waited.
