Serena smiled as she watched Tora, before she turned to face Shira.
"Hello my name is Serena Cherryblossom and I am head geisha here. What is your name?"Serena asked gently.

Shitasu Likianomia slid open the door to her Okiya, and stepped in, trying not to make a sound. Her long hair was put up in neat bun, with a white lily pined to it. A few black locks hung loose, and she pushed them behind her ear, and stepped in. She looked around the room once, and tried to take in every thing. She slid the door closed behind her, walked inside then stopped. Her fan was held tightly in her hand and she started walking down stairs. She stopped when she got to the maids door and took a deep breath. Unconsiusly (Curses, I love using big words, but I can never spell them properly!), she was smoothing down her dress. Her hand went for the door, but then she held back. "I hope they will except me" She thought. She reached for the door, slid it open and stepped in. "Hello" She quietly said. She closed the door beind her and bowed slightly.
(Pretty good for my first post!)

And after, I'll show you around!" she smiles. Tora walks back upstairs.

Dea and #Teddy# Serena smiled as she watched Tora, before she turned to face Shira. "Hello my name is Serena Cherryblossom and I am head geisha here. What is your name?"Serena asked gently. Shira looked up to see who it was that had just spoken to her. She was supprised to find out that it was the head Geisha of the okiya. Oh hello she replied as she did a deep respectable bow. I'm new here and I haven't been to this country long. I was hopeing that maybe you can show me around so that I can begin working as soon as possible. Still in a her bow, she was supprised to find that the floors were spotless. Oh my. (4)

Ayame looked at her new home, Kazenotanpoppo Okiya. She was excited and so frightened one half of her wanted to pull open the sliding door and the other wanted to run all the way back to her home. She pulled open the sliding door, took off her zori and tidily placed them in a spot she felt was the correct one. She looked at the shelf provided on the other side of the room, realized her mistake and placed the zori there instead. Finally, she called out politely, "Gomen Kudasai*!"
*"Gomen kudasai" literally means, "Please forgive me for bothering you." It is often used when visiting someone's home.

"I geuss no one is in here." She thought. Shitasu walked back upstairs and looked around. "Hello?" She asked in a quiet voice. She pushed back a lock of hair and took a few more steps. Again, she started to smooth down her dress unconiously (dang it...). "I am a new maid." Her voice was still quiet almost like a whisper. She put her fan in her obi and sighed.

Serena heard Shitasu and Ayame.
"Hello to both of you. Welcome to our little Okiya and I hope you find yourselves at home,"Serena smiled sweetly.

"Arigato gozaimasu. I hope to soon feel welcome. Thank you for your hospatality." She spoke in a soft, quiet voice. She bowed low. The fan in her obi fell out as she bowed. She blushed and picked it up. "Excuse me for my rudeness. I am Shitasu Likianomia. What is your name ma'am?"

CrystallineTiger "I'm sorry to hear that your conditions weren't better. Becomeing a geisha should be a beautiful thing. Something you chose!" Tora said in a raised voice. She sighed and took a sip of her tea. "I'm sorry. I'm usualy soft spoken," Tora added. "But with this subject, I get very emotional. But I guess coming from a poor home to here is better than coming from a poor home and being abandond." As Tora said this, a tear streamed down her cheak. She gracefully wiped it away and smiled at Rose. "This is very good tea Rose-chan," she said in a shakey voice, taking another sip.
I'm pretty sure once i become a geisha and have my life completed, that it will be great. i am excited to learn the teaching of a geisha, that is if i get lessons. but from what i hear theres also finding a danna, and a sister..which can be difficult at times. *she watches her take a sip of her tea, listening to her speak and the tear fall down her white cheek. she smiles softly* but sometimes i feel that the life we previously had now is only a memory, we cannot go back to it.... and thank you, i found a little money on the gorund as i was running an errand. dont worry, it was only enough to get some herbs for one pot of tea. my mother was skillful with herbs and tea making, she passed it onto me before-... -she pauses, and does not continue-

Umemi was glad that the girls liked her idea of holding a performance so she went to her private room and got some parchment, quil and ink so she could write down some of her ideas. She rang the little silver bell so she could have some tea made up for her.
