( Entering! )

It was so still, so calm.

Ouranos stood absently to a side, pale eyes drinking in his surroundings. He blinked once. Then another time for good measure.

Nothing changed. There remained the ripple of water, a faint glimmer of gold, the sweet scent of lotuses. Was it a dream? If so, it was a very well-made, very beautiful dream. Oura smiled faintly. He wished he could craft his bad dreams half as well as this good dream.

Maybe he ought to take notes?

The thought floated out of his head as quickly as it'd arrived. Someone official, someone in gold, was speaking. Distractedly, Oura wandered closer to the pack of students, catching drifts of conversation: Dorms. Classes. Respect. It didn't make much sense to him, but it sounded intriguing. Things to come...

For now, Ouranos was content to engage only his senses; he appeared overwhelmed by this new world. The boil turned his gaze from sky to water, hill to pavilion, as if deliberating their existence. His footsteps took him close to the waterbed; he reached to touch a white flower, and smiled.

Lucinda looked at all the hair and ran a hand through her own hair, she felt little bits of dirt in it from when she would dig around for fun. It was disheveled since she had to cut it herself when she got something stuck in it awhile back. She wanted to help but wasn't sure how to braid so she watched quietly for a moment, mimicking the motions with her hands in front of her. After she had deciding that she had the idea down right she took a seat next to Lailah. "Hi I'm Lucinda Necroforo, I'm an exchange student. It's nice to meet you Lailah and Levi!" She took a section of hair and began to start on her own braid, trying to be careful and not pull on it to roughly.

More and more people starting showing up, she started to get a little nervous again, she started humming a tune to herself that kept her nerves under control. It helped a bit but she still wasn't sure what she was doing when it came to braiding. "Sooo much hair, I don't think I've ever had my hair below my shoulders. I would probably find someway to get something stuck in it." She looked around at all the students helping, at least the attention wasn't on her so that was something nice for once. She went back to humming as she worked on the braid, slowly getting the hang of it.

At first, she hadn't noticed Lailah, given the ghoul was quite intent on remaining unseen at first. She seemed to light right up at the prospect of braiding Junko's long hair. Was Amarus the only one who didn't really... enjoy that kind of thing? For her, binding it was just easy, that's all. Easy, fast, and it kept it out of her way. Distracted by the sudden desire to move on before she had to either help the braiding or stand by and watch it, Amarus managed to squish out a, "Nice to meet you Levi, nice to meet you JackB." Amarus wasn't familiar with either of their types, though she'd spent some time with Night once, and he was at least feline. But the difference with him was he had been a feline ghost, whereas she was entirely unsure about these two new folks.

Looking for a distraction, or some excuse so she could avoid getting tangled up in the group of students who wanted to braid Junko's hair, Amarus' silver eyes scanned the arriving students again. "It's been a pleasure, but... you don't want me braiding your hair, Junko. Take my word on that," she finally explained, looking a little uncomfortable, if only because she kept shifting her weight from one foot to the other. Just as she was about to escape, another student approached, one she was unfamiliar with. "Hello, Lucinda. Amarus," she replied, pointing to herself.

Finally, once she was more or less sure the others would be too distracted to bother noticing, she snuck off to see if anyone else she recognized was nearby. Which, apparently, she did-- she'd seen Zar earlier, but hadn't noticed Willow until now. They'd gone through the trials together, so Amarus beelined over to the feline. "Willow," she said, greeting her simply, accompanied by a wave. Once she'd approached them, however, she wasn't really sure what to say-- it looked like Willow, as with many others, had also become surrounded by a knot of students she didn't know or recognize.

Given she basically lived in a cave, inept with technology and socially awkward, she hadn't even heard of JD before to know he was a rock star. Well, not that she would recognize right away; with the school's attention, she must have known about him at one point or another?... In any case, her expression was blank again as she looked at the others, a small nod towards Zar.


[[OOC: Sorry for quoting so many of you ashdoasihdai Transitioning Amarus over to other students she knows, since she would probably find a way to tangle Junko's hair beyond recognition OTL]]

Holy..! So many people wanted to help braid her hair! Junko just stared at Levi and Jack, then finally the unfamiliar ghoul introducing herself as Lailah. So many people wanted to help. Would Xiu help as well? "It's nice to meet you, Lailah. I do go to Amityville, I'm the Student Council's Vice President." Junko sat down on the floor and let her hair slide away from her arm, looking very surprised. It was nice to have help but she was very surprised by it. "..Can we put flowers in it?" Junko asked with wide eyes, trying not to move her head but wanting to look around for said flowers.

"Short hair for us is...a traumatic experience." She would know. Junko shuddered at the memory of her hair being sliced off by a Hunter. That was nearly a year ago, and her hair had grown so much since then. She was excited. "A friend? That's great! You travel a lot, then?" How exciting!

More people still were joining in braiding her hair. People she didn't even know.

What is even going on here?

"Are you sure, Miss Amarus?" She watched the ghoul leave anyway, pouting her lips a little. Damn, one less person to braid her hair.

Oh well. This was nice regardless. She could get used to this.

The baku gave her big sister another affectionate squeeze before she suddenly perked up, peering out from around the taller ghoul in an attempt to see what she was doing. All she could make out was hair, a lot of long, pretty black hair...

...Junko, perhaps?

Yup. Xiu's eyes lit up in delight when she realized that the other ghoul was here on the Isle of Conquest with them--Junko would be in their class, yay!--but when her gaze fell to the ghoul's hair, a puzzled frown spread over her face. What was going on? Why was her hair so much...less lively than usual?

Her tapir-shaped ears pricked up at the mention of braids, and she immediately slipped out from behind Levi, crouching down beside the tatzel. "Can I help, Junko?" She was good at braids, and if the attendant didn't mind, perhaps they could even decorate Junko's hair with some of the flowers that grew here!

There were definitely a lot of people gathered though. The baku cocked her head to the side, listening intently as some introductions were done. With a little tail wag, she put her hand up. "Hi, I'm Xiu! Nice to meet you all!"

Willow paused and grinned at JD. "Be like what?" She was playing innocent. Despite not liking the rockstar, "I can't help pumpkin isn't my name."

Willow paused, "Heh, I'm afraid expecting them to send it you may not be quite.... respecting them." She warned softly her brows furrowed. Some demons, really. "Nice to meet you Auri."

There was a pause as Willow looked at the card wondering if she should actually take it. After a moment accepting it and placing it in the front pocket of her bag. "Unfortunately, this maybe one of those cultures that don't appreciate... 'Hired help'." She was using the term loosely, thinking back to the horsemen heirs.

Her tail flickered, "However, like Johnny said, now's not the time to be so concerned with who's carrying who's luggage around. This isn't going to be all pretty scenery and lavish living. The horsemen are here to help, to train us. You might ought to be ready to break a nail if you have to."

Willow's head turned when she heard her name. "Hi Amarus" she smiled towards the ghoul. "This is Johnny Danger, and Auri." She explained to the ghoul. She paused to whisper, "Johnny thinks he's a big shot 'cause he's a rockstar." Just in case Amarus didn't know who he was, Willow felt the need to explain.

"Anyways, this is Amarus. One of my teammates from the Trials."

The grass was really nice, so were the flowers, and Chuppi pushed herself upwards to get a better look around. She shuffled back out onto the path with the rest of the students, watching them interact. A list of rules was running down in her mind, she would need to keep this false form and wear her skull pin visible, so it wasn't so bad to keep those in mind.

A lot of the students that were around, at least the ones she could see, didn't really need the skull pins? Lots of demons and humanoid monsters, from what she could tell, and maybe a ghost or two? Were there any undead here to round out the final numbers? A few reapers? She couldn't tell, she was just glancing and making notes, and the chupacbara waddled back and forth.

Should she approach and talk to someone? Maybe she should go and explore a bit, take in the place she would be spending her days.

There was the odd bit of grass or green stuck within the threads of hair that Levi did her best to pick out before twirling the locks of hair together in the braid. Being offered a comb by Lailah, Levi grinned a toothy grin, accepting with a nod. Well that's mighty kind 'a ya, screecheart. Sure'll make this 'lot easier. Thank ya'kindly.

Ah- yea, Levi's what everybody calls me 'at Amity. Pleasure ta'meetcha, Lailah and Lucinda.
If she mispronounced slightly, it was because Levi was terrible at names. She still spelt Xiu's name as "Shoe." Haven't seen ya'll 'round any. Ain't from Amity then, eh? Welp- right important stuff ta'bee learned 'ere, I reckon. Them horsemen got 'lot 'a skill from what I dun seen. Following down the line like Jack, Levi combed when there was debris and turned locks of hair in and out when braiding was possible.

Ah~ string! That's tha'ticket! Taking a strand from the feline boil, Levi laid it between her teeth. Thank ya! Jack began to hum... that was a dangerous thing in Levi's case. The ghoul liked to hum as well while doing busy work, but she fought the urge to hum along with him. Instead, her tail moved to his rhythm, ever showing what she was really thinking like a mood indicator.

Ah Xiu, ya'll got a feel fer this sorta~..... Looking around at the others, Levi decided to skip her opinion on style. If it was out of the way when she fought, did chores or gardened, she didn't much care for how it was placed. Though- Levi did like her candy corn hair clip. Junko was more of a ghouly type though from what Levi knew. Surely Xiu could help to dress up the braid better than she could. er- think we got anythin' ta put in'it?

Flowers maybe?

JD grinned at her comment about breaking a nail. As worried as he was about what might happen to him, he'd PAY to see his sister's hands get dirty. He promptly turned to the new ghoul as Willow introduced her with his signature grimace. He gave her an appraising look. Yes, she'd do.

"Hey there ghoulie." The look he gave her clearly indicated, 'A/S/L'?

"I'm sure I've got some swag you can borrow sis," he added distractedly. "I brought a bag." It said a lot about the skill of Amity staff that Johnny Danger had actually managed to pack his own bag.

He paused a moment to marvel at the hair braiding that seemed to be going on nearby. He was impressed - his man mullet needed management, but not to THAT degree.

There was a small group nearby, Chuppi would go and talk with them. She recognized one of them as Johnny Danger and a few others as people she might have seen here and there. None of them had names she knew and one of them certainly was a new face, so maybe they wouldn't mind her conversation?

Nervously she waddled over and paused near the group, her cheeks flushed as she opened and closed her mouth once. The chupacabra couldn't talk and say hello if she refused to make noise, right? "Um. . .may I...join in conversations?"

She really hoped they wouldn't turn her away.

A twinkle in his eye appeared at the thought of flowers midway through his second braid, his hands working over the hair like the jewelry he had made on his time out of the orphanage. "Flowers would not be so hard, you just have to twist them certain ways for them to stick aorund for a while, and get good, healthy ones." He chipped in as he checked the strength in the pleats, secretly adding little beads and whatnot he could find in his bag, "But we'd have to find someone who'd have em. . . you think they'd let us grab some . . .if we ask sweetly enough?" He asked, before turning to Lucinda, to continue her train of thought.

"I've never been one for long hair either, I always worried it would get in the way. Kind of think it wouldn't go with my style either. My hair is usually messy as is, I'm sure if I didn't have any assistance, it would be back to the way it was when I got here, in which I would have to fight for hours to get it . . .well. . . tame. ish. I can't imagine it long, like an angry beast, I'm sure." He openly admitted, "I'm not sure if you know Tomoko, Junko, but she'd be the one who helps me a lot - I think she was watching you at the Trials, you and Jove, if I recall." He murmured to the ghoul, before going back to his humming. He let it continue for a bit, before tilting his head to look at how they were doing.

It was kind of a sweet mess, everyone's braiding style showing through,different styles - but everyone was working as honestly as they could on the project, and all the pleating went the same way . . . he nodded contently.

Did Jack realize he was probably one of the few boils who'd let himself get caught hands deep in a ghouls hair, braiding it with other ghouls around him, chittering contently with the like of them all? Probably not, but he was happy, this was a nice way to start what probably would become a grueling week. He was comfortable, at least.

There seemed to be a lot of commotion dealing with one ghoul's hair, Olivia noticed. She did seem to have a lot of it, and several others helping her in braiding it. The young undead ghoul was unsure of what Junko was really, nor why she would have such an amount and she made a note in her little book to find a way to get such information. They were taking the same classes, so perhaps in time she would find out.

Another group was a familiar one from the auditorium. The same loud one with the gold ghoul and ... a cat.. and another.. cat. Werecats? Olivia wasn't too sure, her brows pushed together in wonder and made another scribble of words.

There was a lone boil looking at a flower near the banks and a few other individuals standing by themselves, lost in thought and just admiring the view as she had been doing before. But the pale boil was not too far from her, relative to the others. Hesitantly, Olivia mustered up a little courage and exchanged a soft greeting to Ouranos, "H-hello."

This was much easier. Amarus gave Willow a half-smile; the feline appeared to be really irritated by this Johnny Danger boil. Irritation was much better than braiding hair. Any time. Amarus' bells chimed as she tilted her head and stared back at JD, who appeared to be looking her over. Typically, she was only assessed in terms of her fighting skill, so she wasn't really sure what to make of someone who was a rock star looking at her like that.

She tipped her head to Willow to whisper back at her, "I have never heard of him." Then, after still puzzling over what exactly he was trying to communicate by that weird look, she added, "Is he... of sound mind?" Amarus straightened herself and looked at the one JD was addressing as "sis." To avoid being rude, Amarus realized she should at least say hello back to him. "Hey there to you, Johnny Danger," she said. At first, Amarus' personality could be kind of stiff. Given half a chance to do something she didn't find massively boring, however, she'd perk right up.

She noticed he was looking at the hair-braiding, though, with an amused eyebrow quirk she took a step in and asked, "Are you sad you're missing out on the hair-braiding action? By all means, I think they need someone to put flowers in as they weave," she teased, her expression still flat.

Hadn't she met Chuppi on Scarentines? Amarus tilted her head at the ghoul. "If they accepted me into the conversation, I am sure they would be friendly enough towards you as well-- did I not meet you, before?" she asked.

Ew, Auri thought. Why would I want to wear one of your shirts? I thought you only owned the one. Not that you ever wear it. She furrowed her brow in annoyance.

And what did Willow mean by 'they dont like hired help?' Every one likes hired help. Did they have slaves or something? I thought the horsemen were backward, but even that seemed so oldschool.

She looked at JD. "FINE! I'll see if you have anything passable for work clothes. It's a good thing you're so ghouly shaped."

She looked back to Willow. Break a nail? You'll be lucky to see me lift a finger.

Two new students caught Auri's attention. A pink haired hotty, and Spiky girl with a thermos. She ruffledover pockets to see if she had more cards.

"Of course you can help, Xiu~." Junko said with a dreamy sigh, enjoying the attention more than she probably should. It wasn't often she was pampered, but when she was she was sure to savor that feeling. It was amazing.

Best. Trip. Ever.

"There're decorations in my bag." Junko answered Levi with a smile, closing her eyes and sitting up straight. She was quiet until Jack asked if she knew Tomoko, to which she gasped and perked up even more. "I LOVE Tomoko! She's like my little sister! Ohhhhh, my little Tomo-chaaaaaan~. Isn't she just the sweetest? She is the sweetest. And so adorable. I love her." Yes, you've made that clear.

Junko was feeling on top of the world right now. Amazing Island, amazing friends. Amazing everything.
