Welcome to Gaia! ::

A dorm for female students. Males are not permitted here.

"I don't get what people get so worked up.


Suzume wandered the dorms in wonder. She never got to live in such a beautiful building before. She mostly lived on the road as a traveling performer so her sleeping place was wagon. "What a spiffy place!" Suzume remarked as she ran up and down the stairs, admiring everything.

When she was done, she realized that someone already was in a room. She knocked on the door and poked her head in. A girl was there and she had a book in her hands so Suzume figured she was reading. She wondered if it was math stuff. She hoped it wasn't literature or poetry though. Suzume wasn't a big fan of that kind of stuff. "Hello there! What are you reading?"

((I know she's blind but Suzume doesn't know. I'm also distracted with stuff to so slow posts are fine. XD))

If it's not any fun, then why bother?" .

Oh no, just thinking about them had summoned the throngs of squealing and "twee". Cheeva was horrified. This had to be some kind of warped super power. Maybe if she thought about them leaving, they would go?

She tried her hardest, but no such luck. Instead, it only seemed to summon a second one, even more irritating than the first.

What had she done to deserve this?

"A book," clearly, Cheeva drawled in the face of the first question, her thumb trapped in the covers to keep her place. She had a feeling she wasn't going to be able to concentrate with the two of them - and maybe more, lurking and so far unheard - and she didn't realy want to answer questions about why her book had bumps in it, rather than words. She was sure the girls would know what Braille was - or, at least, she had hopes their intelligence was that sub-par - but she really didn't want to answer any questions.

Mostly because she was still learning, herself.

Her mouth dropped open, slightly, at the slur of questions from the other girl. She was speechless, for a moment, in the face of the rambled onslaught. Cheeva jaw quickly snapped closed, though, as she scowled.

"My name is Cheeva, not "girl". I can only imagine you would be offended if I chose to call you something like, "Human" so please, if you don't mind, I prefer my name to be used. And I can assure you, I do not smell. Now, would you like to continue to insult me, or may I return to reading, sans the verbal abuse?"

[[She's a charmer. And that's fine Chocolate ^^ Most people aren't going to know until they meet her. Twenty-three chapters down, eight and a half to go @_@]]

”All say, ‘How hard it is that we have to die’
- A strange complaint to come

"'Girl' isn't an insult at all! Haha, it's just general labeling since I had no clue about your name. After all, we're all girls here. At least, I hope so." Kasie snickered, making a mental note to add this girl to her slowly growing list of the people she needed to see smile. She was then reminded that she should recruit Suzume and Kamil into helping her. After all, it was just Ayu and her, but with more help, they could make miracles of having these lemon faces crack a smile or two happen. Though, that would have to happen at another time.

"I'm doing fine, um, Human!" She beamed, giggling into her hands when Suzume missed, but really, that was an awkward thing to say. "Hm... I guess you're right after all, Cheeva. It's really weird to call people by that stuff, so I'll stick to actual name-name stuff."

"If you really want, you can get back to reading, but think about it, you have the whole weekend to look through some book. You can always get back to it another time." She idly remarked. Hey, she never mentioned anything about not not involving her or talking her ear off. Plus, a person could still chat while reading right? It might be difficult, but it was still doable.

Kasie looked over at Suzume and nodded at her request. "Got it. It's not like I can really use perfume, but yeah, I got this. Of course, I tend to smell like the ocean a lot, but I can't exactly help that. Hopefully, no one is allergic or minds too much?"

"I don't get what people get so worked up.


Yup! Kasie is totally right. Suzume didn't want to deal with this. Names were much, much better. Besides, if she yelled out ghost all the time, she's bound to scare somebody out there. Suzume shook her hands to get rid of the water, but it only made her hands feel cold.

"But it's the weekend! I like to read math stuffs but since it's the weekend, it's more fun to play! Speaking of which, we should all try playing a game or something. But I guess it has to be a game that doesn't require touching things since you can't really do it, Kasie." Suzume remarked as she crossed her arms. Then what kind of game can they play. Hide and seek seemed like fun since the dorm was big and no one really knew it.

"Well, if you're not reading, you can chat with us! And I didn't know water had a smell! If I tried to smell water, I'd drown!"

If it's not any fun, then why bother?" .

"I can imagine you prefer to play," Cheeva said, dryly. "I'm sure all the big scary words pale in comparison to pretty flashing lights. Here's a game, why don't you go and try to smell some water? There are plenty of sinks and baths about the place."

Ugh, clearly the idiots weren't going to leave her be until they'd wrangled her into whatever this "game" was going to be. Maybe she really could talk them into smelling water.

But then she'd have to explain why she was the only idiot still alive.

"Looking and reading are not the same," Cheeva drawled, dog-earing the page before leaning over the side of the bed to grab her cane. She wasn't quite used to the dorm enough, yet, to get about without it. And she had a feeling that the furniture wasn't going to stay in one place with this lot around. "Looking requires eyesight. Reading doesn't, necessarily."

"What exactly does this game entail?"

"You know, I'm not much of a fighter, but..."

"...I'm a pretty darn good treasure hunter!"
