Welcome to Gaia! ::

:Yuhng laughed slightly, casting a look over the other guy quincy. He seemed to emphasize group and unity so much, it almost made Yuhng think that guy was actually in it for himself. Grabbing the bag of potatoes, Yuhng got down to business.

"Sorry to disappoint cha, but I'm not really with him. Coincidence. I kinda operate alone," Yuhng walked into the kitchen, washing his hands in the sink before rinsing the potatoes then rummaging in the refrigerator. "And I'll definitely keep in mind that you're master here. As for rooming... you don't need to worry. I have a pastry shop in town and my condo's just above it."

Taking butter and heavy whipping cream, Yuhng grabbed some salt from the pantry and placed all of it on table. He rubbed down the potato skins with butter before popping them into the oven to bake. Once the smell permeated the kitchen and dining room, Yuhng took them back out, cup the tops, scooped the innards, and made a form of mashed potatoes before dumping all of it back into the hollow shells and baking them again. It was one of the few things he really enjoyed making besides cake. Hopefully the others would like it too, although he knew most people in Japan did not eat potatoes.

As Serza and the newer Quincy started cooking, Yumi moved out of their way a bit. She tended to steer clear of cooking since the incident with the lasagna she made for her foster parents. Let's just say there was a lot of time spent in the washrooms that night. She'd settle with clean up afterwards anyways. Nodding to Asai as he left she closed the door behind him.

Picking up her backpack from where she had dumped it near a chair she pulled out a novel study assignment, textbook and pen, and sat down. Chewing on the end of her pen her thoughts drifted to her foster parents. They really hadn't cared much when she had said she'd be staying at a friend's house from then on, though they hadn't liked her much to begin with. Her attention going back to her schoolwork she started to write about the characters' personalities and analyze them as the work prescribed.

((Why the need to rush? There is no immediate issue for a plot is there?

*likes to RP day to day things more than fights* stare ))

((I see, nvm. not in any hurry or anything. i just hope you prepared enough food... 1 ))

Asai Botsu was limping up the dark trail to the house, he had plenty of time to roll around today's events in his head. But no matter what he did, he was still confused.
Obviously that shinigami knew more than met the eye, but I'm worried of what else could be brewing.
He slowed down, remembering who was following him. He had almost forgotten about little Shio, he had been so quiet the whle way there... Asai hoped that his display of agression back at the stream didn't get to him or anything.
"I hope you like food! There Quincy sure know how to cook alright..." he said, reassuring his new friend.

"No, its fine. After being alone for so long, it is good to have companionship again. If anything I figured you would have been bored of my ways.. That and your knowledge of today's technology is very efficient, and could prove to come in handy." he said to Shio, truthfully.
This kid is more resourceful than he knows, and a pretty good fighter too.
They made the rest of the trip, until they reached the house. They could see Yumi through the glass, still working at the desk. Smoke came out of the chimney, and an aura of stew mixed oddly with potatoes found its way through Asai's bandages into his nostrils. It seemed like the ratio of potato-smell to stew was uneven, suggesting maybe a cooking malfunction of sorts? Either way, Asai stopped at the doorway, and hesitated before knocking.
"Well, I am here to show you the way. Your introduction should be your own." he said, motioning to the door.

"It is completely up to you. To be completely honest, these quincy have totally unique characterisitcs and basically work independently." he said, "Hopefully we can all work a way for us to utilize our abilities as a team, but until then, I have other buisness to tend to."
With that being said, Asai bowed down on one knee towards Shio, in respect for his assistance earlier. Then, instead of simply standing up, he jumped; with such a force he landed on the roof.
We will meet again soon Quincy boy... real soon he thought, and then left the boy to make his aquaintances with the rest of the Quincys.

Looking up as Serza asked if she needed help Yumi answered, "I think I'll manage, nothing difficult, just long and tedious work. I personally think the teacher gave us this because we didn't listen much in class."

Hearing a knock at the door Yumi looked up from her homework, and saw someone walk in the door across the room and hall. Another stray eh? Did I leave the door open again... As he stood there he finally said his name. Raising an eyebrow Yumi said, "Seems to be a theme with guys coming in here randomly. Well Shio, I'm Yumi. Someone tell you where we were or something?" She didn't even ask if he was a Quincy, by his level of reiatsu she could guess that much.

"Asai... you mean that guy with the bandages on his face? Yeah, he stopped by a few days back. Anyways, if you want to stick around you should take it up with Serza, her and another new guy are cooking dinner," Yumi said, eying this guy carefully. His stammering made him seem really jittery. By the looks of it he was around her age, maybe a little older, though she couldn't place seeing him before.

As he walked closer, she looked back at her novel, trying to understand what one character meant and where the analogy in this part was since the questions wanted it in the answer. Looking back at him she motioned to a nearby chair, "You can sit down if you want, I'm sure won't object to just that. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon with all this homework."
