Welcome to Hope’s Peak, Ene!

You will be roomed in apartment #106 with your new roommates Celestia Ludenberg and Jakuzure Nonon. Don’t think about escaping the city because you never will, upupu!

She had decided to be strong; chin up, facing forward, without being afraid of what had to come.

Lost has always hit Etihw harder than anything else; the thought of losing those important for her was unbearable, considering how powerful she was. Stripped naked from them, protecting her dear ones became a hard job, and she soon found out that she was almost unable to do something. As guilty as she was from the last trial, the tiny God tried as much as she could to forget the incident. Surely it hadn't been her fault, right? Even if God, she was prone to make mistakes too, albeit not being expected to.

As close as she was from room 200, perhaps to pay them a visit, the sight of a blue haired girl at the door caught her attention. A visitor? She was rather cute, smaller than Etihw herself (not that the Goddess was as small as she seemed to be), and to even think either Caesar or Reiji could have a friend like her -- the thought was somewhat amusing.

                 { ✘♟✘ }

She raises an eyebrow at this girl. Weird people here.

Were things looking up?

Maybe not so much, but. Caesar couldn't deny that at least, today, things were a little... better. As expected, the deceased he had worried for returned several days later, seemingly as good as new. Physical and emotional scars came together in these people to form a snapshot of their former visage. Parts of them were broken beyond repair - that is simply what death did - and would remain as a badge of courage. They had died, but they stood on their feet once more and moved forward. And what about those who had to bear witness to it?

He chose not to focus on that today. These questions would receive answers at some point - he was slowly learning that the closure he so desired did not exist in this place - but for now, it was not about any of that. Instead it would be about a young lady in blue that he was happy to see back. His... well. The running gag, he was soon told of, was that he was Dad and she was his daughter. Mom, of course, was another occupant of Room 200: one Reiji Sakamaki, of course. Ridiculous, it was.

Caesar would scoff at the news and smile in private. Che schifo.

Though treating Ene in a daughterly fashion wasn't quite far from the mark. He certainly couldn't help but regard her that way - she reminded him plenty of his younger siblings, even if her age deceived her mentality most of the time. A spunky girl he wanted to protect more than anything while in this place. He had failed once, foolish and naive; he would not allow that to happen again. But for once, today was not a threat.

The only threat that came to mind was how wide her smile could be at the surprise.

It wasn't much, honestly - you couldn't do a whole lot here that was happy or else the mastermind would take notice. He knew deep down it wouldn't matter so much to her how large it could be, and yet he wished he could pull out all the stops for her, just as he would any of his siblings. Or, well. Kids. Not that he has them, but he might as well at this point. With a small bundle behind his back, he went about the routine of opening the door to his room and stepping inside--

Only to see the girl of the hour occupying his bed with a waiting smile. Of course.

He couldn't help it - he, too, grinned. It was simply infectious, that smile of hers. "Bene, bene..."

♥: One thing you love about your Muse.

Aw, jeez. Honestly? This is probably gonna sound more material than it really is but her kagune. I’ve always loved the Ukaku type especially, but hers being damaged and p much broken on one side always gets to me, especially considering how it was damaged. It’s beautiful, both literally and symbolically.

[Ah... that was much better. Keeping her nose stuck in a magazine was much better than paying attention to everything else around her. This school was messed up, but being able to see something beautiful like muscles made her happy enough to forget her situation. How could anyone not love muscles, especially such beautiful ones!? Most of her bags had been packed with a good portion of her stash of magazines, to enjoy while at the school. She hadn't exactly expected to be using them as a complete distraction, but that was fine in it's own way.

Mm! A slight squeak of pure joy came from the girl as she continued to wander aimlessly. Red eyes lit up with her excitement. She almost missed the other teen completely, at least until she found herself colliding with the other's shoulder. Suddenly Kou was ticked from her thoughts worry written all over her face.]

Uh... um... S-sorry...

   Kuroha entered the Academy without knowing anybody, but after a few days here, he found familiar faces. Faces of people he knew and hated. Roaming around the school gave Kuroha the chance to listen to conversations and by doing this, it gave him the latest news, or whatever the latest gossip was. He learned that Shintaro had died and how devastated Ene was. Though Shintaro somehow came back alive, an idea came to Kuroha.

   The idea wasn't as vicious or horrendous as Kuroha believed it was, but it would provide some type of entertainment to him in the mean time. Since Kuroha had nothing better to do with himself and he didn't really want to have any type of interaction with people.

   It took him awhile, but he finally figured out Ene's current location. He found her sitting by herself. Having not the slightest bit of an idea on how to approach her, he just walked up to her and spoke.
