Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ha, she's probably just run as fast as she coudl when she heard how close your room was to ours. I can't believe we were put NEXT DOOR to you..." Aurora pointed at the map, adding, "Neith gave me a list of everyone's rooms, what number they were, and where on the map. I'm supposed to give it to your guardian, so I'll do that after the ship sets sail."

Aurora jumped up to sit on the small bench above the mini fridge, sipping at her drink. "If I got cooties, it's because I met you. ...and huh? I don't look old! I'm still quite young looking."

[I'm so sorry this is incredibly late ;o;!!]

Oh, how he hoped his stalling would eventually lead to him missing the boat. But it didn't, it was still docked. And that only meant Urahara was now upon said Cruise ship. The teen had ditched his guardian as they got on the boat, her staying near the ramp - almost in a way to block him from making a run for it - which left him grumbling in his assignened room and staring downward with narrowed eyes at his black duffle bag and carry-on that sat upon the bed. He hadn't even taken in account that there were two beds and a possible roommate - even in the room - [wasn't sure where Ronin was e.e;] He was too frustrated with this, what with what was.. going on. Continued grumbling.

chiri had been too giddy, then flipflopped to being paranoid, about how she won him the ticket. She had chased him all over the realm, begging and pleading for him to go to eventually just dragging him out. This was all her attempt to stop him from being a hermit - odd, since she was pretty much one - and cheer him up - odd because she didn't even know why he was exactly 'upset.' So, she had managed to wrangle him up and even pack his things - also odd, because he had no idea he had enough 'things' to fill a suitcase or a carry-on. Oh how he hoped she didn't just pack some of her things in there too. That would so totally just make the situation worse.

Not like there was a lot that could. But he was digressing and getting lost in thought trying to recall the whole situation and now he had no idea how long he was just giving his bags a deathglare. Ura uncrossed his arms from his baggy sweatshirt and with one hand tugged at the zipper to where his clothing was mostly likly. If he was going to bear with this, he was going to have to convey that nothing was wrong, nothing at all. Oh there was something wrong but other people couldn't know. So that meant that he needed to get out of his baggy sweatshirt, who ever heard of someone wearing one on a cruise? Zipper undone, the teen pushed open the bag and raised an eyebrow to the contents. A lot of it looked new or at least the top layer. He shuffled through, noticing nothing looked like chiri's - thank gawd - but at the same time not originally his. Did chiri buy him some new clothing or something? Besides the obvious toiletries and undergarments, there were a few Hawaiian button down shirts (thankfully none really bright and gawdy looking), some walk shorts, a few pairs of baggy cargo pants, a pair of flipflops, a couple of teeshirts and tanks and even some swim trunks amoung a few other things. What surprised him a bit more was the rather nice suit also in there. Huh.

Ura sighed and simply pulled out one of the white tanks and a light yellow button down shirt decorated with a simple black gestalt-like print of flowers and surfboards running down one side. His eyes closed as he began to change, the gears in his head turning and trying to figure out a way to get this all to work.

Ura was a bit amazed, the shirts actually fit and didn't look half bad. He fingerd the bottom of the yellow shirt, letting his fingers feel the fabric. What was this made of? Oh, shut up brain! Stop it with the fabrics and the.. gah! He grumbled, letting the shirt once again rest like it should. Okay, so now he was changed, now what. His mismatched eyes wandered around the room finally as the hand from before began to scratch the back of his head.

Then he suddenly noticed the other bed. And then then prospect of having a room mate began to filter through his brain. Ura froze, eyes staring at the bed, not even noticing Ronin under it. He just stared, mild panic beginning to build up. Finally, movement. His eyes twitched, trying not to let the panic exculate further. He could make this work. They'd never find out. Never... oh no. He couldn't let them.

"Heh... roommate..." Another eyetwitch. Huh, wonder who it was.

Woah! Ura suddenly found his back against the wall, wide eyed and almost hyperventalating. Where the hell did that little boy come from? A hand reached for his chest, trying to calm his breathing and rubbed his sore chest a bit. Ow.

"Oh." Came an intelligent response. Eyes still a bit wide but breathing getting back to normal, Ura rand his hand through his red hair upon the top of his head. Yes, act cool, nothing... happened. He cleared his throat and gave Ronin a hearty grin, warm.. gentle, the usual kind he gave to people. "Name's Urahara." He said casually, now leaning his lanky body against the wall he had sprawled against a few minutes before. "I think... I remember you from somewhere...." Huh. Wherewhere. He could have sworn he'd seen him before...

Aurora blinked at the odd Elijah... well, he WAS odd. I mean, really. Who else could act so strange, than cootie filled Elijah? She got up, jumping onto his back and held on from behind. "It's oookaaaay, Elijah, those nice men in white coats will be here any moment."

She stood up after attempting to pin him down for a few moments. It was only then that Aurora noticed a reflection in the glass. An older reflection.

...wait, when did that happen?

She'd grown?!

Well, that explained everything, and she'd just have to pretend like she knew all along! She was older now. Grinning at Elijah, Rora snatched up the map and list. "I think I'll go talk to your guardian about where we all stay. Yes, so he can keep a close eye on you teenagers."

Aurora made her way out of the door then, heading for the room at a half-jog. She knocked on the door to this Tobias person's room, calling, "Hello?"

Aurora blinked. When she thought guardian of Elijah... well, she thought some old lady or some old wrinkly man, cootie infested and slightly mad. To explain how he acted, of course.

But since when did Simu like Elijah get someone who looked like this? This guy was cute, and he wasn't old... and Rora liked what she saw. She liked it a lot!

A bit taken back by that, she almost stuttered over her first few words. "I... I'm Aurora, I'm one of the Simu? Neith asked me to give this to you," She held out the list and map, "...a map of where everyone else is staying so you can keep an eye on them."

She glanced sideways at Elijah's direction, grinned a bit wickedly and added, "Can I come in? Elijah can't stalk me in there."

(Pata, Kami can still come. ^^ You posted here before, if you want her to still come, just edit that post with what she's taking. Or PM Neith with her baggage, we'll add it to the front page. )

"Is it really?" Tobias inquires, raising an eyebrow in offhanded surprise. "I suppose it is. Funny how fast time goes on these sorts of trips - I've missed travelling, really."

He offers her a hand, outstretching it to help her get up.

"I've been around the world and back again, before Elij came about. I was kinda hoping he and I could do on one of these sorts of trips together." Withholding a sigh, his eyes give a slightly sad shimmer for a split second. "It's not like I'm that much older than him, but instead he feels the need to run off an' keep his secrets."
