Gitano nodded, "It might make her more comfortable in her new home. I trust Thirin and Arisu to find a way to explain the fact that her home had some residents in it."
He pulled his hair back into a low ponytail and asked, "Why would Usagi forget to mention us? I'm sure he had he his reasons, but he would normally tell us what he was planing to do. We knew about Suzuka, but she never leaned about us?"

He nodded, eying Arisu and Thirin before looking back to Gitano, shaking his head slightly. "Perhaps Usagi didn't forget, more as he did it on purpose. It would make sense... especially if in the confines of his will he wishes for us to remain here. Some people dismiss it as merely superstition, however we are what we are. We cannot enter occupied dwellings uninvited. Usagi opened his doors to us and all of our kind... so while he was amongst the living, we could all come and go as we pleased. Now, he's left the house to Suzuka. I imagine he even left it to her, rather than any of his older living relatives in the first place because he hoped she would be more open-minded of us."
He paused for a moment to spare the women another glance, his voice lowering as he continued to speak.
"He told us of her so we would know what to expect... he left her uninformed of us, to give us a chance. If he's wrong about her, he's at least bought us some time to consider our options more seriously. If he had told her from the start what she would be walking into... once he passed on, and the house became hers, she could will us out of it and we would be forced to leave. If that happened during the day hours..."
He trailed off, not needing to complete his train of thought.

Gitano nodded, knowing what Ashii meant. "I feel sorry for her though. We were expecting her, excited even. But we've compleatly threw her off. The Human mind could only take so much in such a short time."
He sighed and played with his necklace, a gift from his sire when they parted ways. "I fear more for her health then anything..."

He eyed Suzuka again before nodding again to Gitano. "Indeed... though, I think if we can control the excitement of the younger set,"
Ashii nodded over in the direction of Vergil, Thorn, and Tristan before his eyes flicked to Korsu and back to Gitano.
"We'll be alright. We'll have to keep them calm as to not overwhelm her further. Which, is why I think the sound of your sweet melodies could perhaps do her some good after things have unwound a bit. She seems to get along well with Arisu and Thirin, we can probably leave her in their care until dinner at least."
((Ooc; Last post for the evening!))

Gitano smiled. "Virgil, Thorn, and Tristan had gone down to his basement. He's going to teach her the guitar. I think it'll help him feel useful, if it gets out of hand I'll go down and talk to them."
He nodded. "We'll leave Miss Usagi to them then. I could use this as an opportunity to practice for the show."

Korsu grinned when he was praised by Ashii, he loved getting praised by others. He was a bit insecure himself, he was still in the process of growing up and hadn't had nearly as much on earth as everyone else. When he heard them start talking about them doing a duet his eye's widened and he said excitedly, "Oh that would be awesome! I've never heard you two play together!" He trailed off as he thought of what they'd sound like together.
He snapped back to reality when Gitano and Ashii started to talk about leaving. "What?! We might have to leave? But.. but.." he started and trailed off, trembling slightly, his voice going up an octave with worry. Then listening, from what he heard, whether they stayed or went was up to Suzuka. His eye's narrowed slightly as he looked over to her. So it was up to her? he thought to himself, watching her. He couldn't help but think about what might happen should she refuse to let them stay.

Arisu was at a loss at how to do it. But she had to say something...
Hearing the others' conversation, an idea came to her mind. "Your grandfather left us out of the will in fear you would throw us out before getting to know us. No one here has anywhere else to go, and he thought that leaving us out would allow you time to get to know us, and decide if you want to throw us out or let us keep living here," she said to Suzuka, choosing her words carefully. Looking over at Korsu, she added, "And, considering the age of some of us, we won't be able to survive long on the streets. Your grandfather was a very kind man, opening his doors to children with nowhere to go."

Nemuriko turned a bright grin at Ashii, though he couldn't seem to wipe the macabre tone that seemed to curl the corner of his lips. He hadn't eaten quite yet, but the old rogue was keen at keeping his instincts in check. The former owner of the house had helped him with such discretion in his later years, though the skill was already beginning to hone. He noted each of the younger vampires, a mental tick-mark appearing next to each one of their heads in sequence, nodding idly to each one as his eyes sparkled with a hunger they all recognized. Silently, he beckoned to each, not through some magickry but through a familiarity of friends of a hunt that was necessary for them to curb their basic instincts. They knew of course, and he didn't pester that the knowledge needed to be reminded, but he offered a way for some to leave alongside him.
First, of course, he wished to address the new owner and gave a courtly bow as penance for his earlier flurry of entrance. He waited, an opportune moment shining as Arisu spoke of their existence (or non-existence, rather) in the will.
"Indeed, Miss Suzuka. Your kind grandfather gave many of us a reason, as well, to continue living when we had lost the same hope that any who meet us seem to lose. Those in town that see us as monsters, for instance, have no hope of our natures and would drive us to oblivion if given the time and manpower. And, in return for your grandfather's kindness in providing us from frenzied attack we keep the home in bright spirits."
He beckoned, softly, to their musician and to those who had begun to play amidst themselves in a more visual attempt to levy her mood.
"We are all friends here, and we're greatly appreciative to your grandfather for his efforts to bring us all together. And, I suspect, he left you this house so that you too can enjoy the friendship we seem to have enacted amongst ourselves and be as protected as any of us."

Thirin nodded in agreement with Arisu and Nemuriko's words. That was definately a safe way to take this. "They're right. I can completely imagine what the people in town would tell you about us, but I can assure you that none of us would ever intentionally harm you. We aren't the evil beings the locals think we are. Do you think you can give us a chance? Get to know us like your grandfather wanted?"
Slowly, Suzuka began to calm down. They were orphans? Young people, the oldest not seeming all that much older than her, with no place to go? She could see the fear in some of their eyes.
Apparently her grandfather had been a good and kind man. If he wanted her to look after these people that he had helped, surely there had to be a reason.
Now that she was starting to think and see things clearer, they didn't seem dangerous to her. Sure, one or two of them might be a little nuts, but they seemed to be a 'safe' sort.
Slowly, she nodded, and with a sigh she gave them her answer. "Alright. At least for now, you can stay. I wish Grandfather or someone else would have told me before hand, but...." She gave them the best smile she could manage.

Tristan had moved, now standing a couple of yards away from Suzaka, she had stopped whistling and was listening intently, "Well that's good, I like new people." She held the drawing that she just finished in one hand and showed it to the new owner of the house, it wasn't that bad but she had done better "What do you think?"

Suzuka looked to the blond girl, trying to remember her name. "...Tristan, right? Wow, is... is that supposed to be me? I wish I could do that good. It takes me hours to make a drawing that doesn't look like it was done by a first grader." She smiled her. Maybe I can get used to living with these people. They do seem nice.

"Well at least you don't hate it, I rushed it a bit, I do better when the people are asleep, gives me time" Tristan beamed at the semi-positive compliments. "Not that I I'll sneak into you're room, I ask first," she added hastily not wanting to make a bad impression.

Noltic Nich picked up the red guitar and plugged an idle patch chord into it. Then he armed himself with the checkered guitar and plugged his own in as well. Flicking on an amp he stummed both idly turning the distotion off on both instruments and handed the red guitar over. "Alright, now hold it like me and try strumming an open chord.... that means without pressing any strings." Thorn said holding the guitar like Nich. She then place her fingers over the chords on the neck of the guitar without pressing any of the strings. Her other hand then strumed the strings on the body of the guitar. "Like that sensi" Thorn said looking at you.
