Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jo(Shu) Michieru, the strange Senior

Oh Damn, not again. The senior thought as he patted down his pockets, eyes wide and bags in hand.
"FFFFFFFFFFrick!!!!" he cried out annoyed as he sat the bags down, and started back down the apartment stairs.

"Can't believe I lost my keys again.." he called to himself as he checked to make sure his downstairs neighbor wasn't home, before circling around the back and looking up.

He could see his balcony from here, and he knew what he had to do. sliding off his headphones, he climbed up onto something, before springing up, jumping as high as he could before grabbing onto one of the bars off his railing.

He swung for a bit, trying to fix his grip as he then brought his feet up, locking them inbetween the bars before pulling himself up and climbing over the railing.

"Phew..." he called as he picked up the shining blue and silver key on his balcony, before opening the door and starting into his mess of an apartment. Cans scattered about on his desk. Computer on standby, television displaying 'No Signal'.

Home sweet home.

He moved to his door and unlocked it as he picked up the bags and closed the door again, placing them inside as he laid on his rugged couch.

"That....that was tiring." he called as he laid back. With everything that had happened today, he felt he deserved a good rest.

Twenty two hours should be enough.

Jo(Shu) Michieru, the strange Senior


The brown haired senior fumbled with his pockets, before pulling out a house key, leading the group up some stairs, and turning the key in the door.

Opening it with a slight shove, the group would be greeted to a fairly spacious apartment, with a decent looking couch, a rather large Television set, a small kitchen, and a small room.
Behind the couch, a laptop sat ontop of a table, closed with soda cans stacked up in a miraculous fashion.
"Mind the mess. I've been at Junes a lot lately." he called lightly as he started inside. "But we're here. Home sweet apartment."

It was noticeably warmer than it was outside, which would be a good thing for the cold-ridden travellers.
"Downside is, there's only one bathroom." he called to the others. "So....yeah."

He didn't think that merited further discussion. Man, so many people....
Rose started into the building right after the boy, looking around. It seemed like a nice enough place at least. Well, save for the mountain of soda cans, and the various scattered things.
"Thanks for inviting us." She called polietly as she moved around, looking at the area. So, he lived in this apartment? By himself? What an interesting thought. Though, Rose felt bad that someone would have to live alone. She herself couldn't stand it. She had to have someone around to talk to, or she'd go crazy.

Jo(Shu) Michieru, the strange Senior


"No problem." Jo(shu) called as he finished bandaging Kaminari's leg, before standing up, and rubbing his own a bit. It still dully ached, but it would be fine. Probably.

Hearing the boy talk about how it was getting crazy, he shrugged.
"Yeah...." he called, thinking back to what'd happened. So much weird stuff going on. And the way the moon looked......
Rose eventually took herself back into the living room, looking at the girl with short shorts's leg bandaged, and the other boy sitting down on the couch as well.

The brown haired boy still stood, looking a bit distant. However, as she stood, she wondered a bit about the others.

Toru, Faust, Ellen...Were they okay?

"By the way, don't think we've introduced ourselves." Jo(shu) called to the group, as he turned, bowing to the group. "I'm Jo(shu) Michieru. Repeat Senior at Yasogami High School."

Rose paused, hearing the boy's name as he bowed.
"I'm Rosealine Miina. Transfer student from Gekkokan. Senior at Yasogami." She called lightly to the group, taking notes so she could remember their names. Just how do you pronounce parenthesis?

Jo(Shu) Michieru, the strange Senior

"I see..." Jo(shu) called as he looked at the girl, then the boy. So, they were 'sometimes' students? Didn't really sound very promising. "I usually work at Junes. Being a repeat senior's no fun."
Nevertheless, it's what happens when you get all your papers mixed up in transferring schools midway through the year.
"Anyways, this may not be the best place, but make yourselves at home." he called. "At the very least, let's all get along for just this night, alright?"

Ha, he rhymed.

Rose nodded, looking at Jo(shu) and Kaminari, before slightly at Chokichi as well. She wanted to ask them some things, but at the moment, didn't feel they were necessary.
At Jo(shu)'s comment, she nodded, and bowed.
"Thanks for letting us stay." She called to him lightly. "I'll repay the favor sometime."

It was always polite to repay your debts after all. Right?

"No need." Jo(shu) called simply. "Just don't get me kicked out, and I'll be fine."

A little harsh sounding, but true. It's not like letting them stay at his place for a night was anything special. It was just the right thing to do. He idly wondered about sleeping arrangements as he yawned deeply, lost in thought, and wondering if his other guests had anything else to say.

Jo(Shu) Michieru, the strange Senior

"Ahh, I'm not cool." Jo(shu) called. "I'm just your senpai. It's only natural for me to do this. I'll keep the heater cranked if you want too." He didn't seem to have spare blankets.
"Either way, hopefully the world'll be a little less crazy when we wake up, yeah?"

At the very least, he hoped the outside wasn't green again. It was almost making him sick...

Rose paused for a bit, looking around the small apartment as she thought for a bit. If they took up the couch, and he only had one bedroom....
Then...Hmmm....Where would she sleep?
She kept her thoughts to herself as she heard the others talking to Jo(Shu), before he dismissed their praise.

Jo(Shu) Michieru, the strange Senior, and his Demon Partner, Aussa

The brown haired senior paused, before standing up from his spot, and entering the room near him.
"I'm taking a shower." he called lightly, before shutting the door, and pushing in a flimsy lock.

As he flicked on the light and the fan, too tired to note the lack of either, he moved over to the tub, and turned the water, pulled on the tab and got the water to cascade from the showerhead.

However, the Senior made no move to disrobe, nor to step in. Rather, he pulled the curtains back, and then tugged up his sleeve, revealing the COMP on his arm.

Pressing a few buttons, the glasses wearing Demon appeared in the room, looking at him.

Aussa stared at the tired looking boy, with a bit of question.
"You......okay? she asked the Senior, who looked up at her.

"I just...." he spoke softly, the water drowning out most of the sounds from the outside, so no one could hear him. "I just....feel like something bad's happened."

He wasn't sure what, he just did. Maybe someone hadn't made it out of that tower. Or...something.
"And....I feel kind of...helpless." He added. "How much help was I during....whatever'd just happened?"

Aussa paused, but shrugged.
"Humans..." she called, resigning herself to never understanding them.

Jo(shu) sighed, before pressing the button, and getting Aussa back into the COMP, as he sat silently.
Thinking...
