Welcome to Gaia! ::

Misuki woke up with a yawn seeing Misora hovering over her. "Mitsuki, wake up. Its time for me to go to school and we'll be late if you don't get up now." She said. Mitsuki smiled up at her, "Yeah yeah, come on, give me some space." she said smiling. Misora took a few steps back and Mitsuki got out of bed and stretched her arms upward. "Is your lunch made?" Misora noded, "Bag all packed?" Misora noded. Mitsuki smiled. "Good, then give me a few minutes to get dressed and I'll be ready to go to." shes said smiling. Misora noded and went into the living room.

After about 10 minutes Mitsuki was in her usual green dress and stepping out of her room."Your really slow at changing Mitsuki. Misora said with a frown. Mitsuki smiled and rubbed Misora's head, "Yeah, and we're gonna be late unless we go now." she said, and Misora grabbed her bags. They both headed out the door and to the university.

((A description of their home
When you first walk through the front door you enter a large room. The walls are painted an olive green and the floor is a medium brown hardwood. The first thing most people see is the small living room area. I has a light green love seat against a wall and a matching arm chair across from it, with a small wooden coffee table in the middle. Under the coffee table, and somewhat under the chair and love seat is a round rug. Bands of color decorate it in different shades of earthy greens and browns that match the rest of the area. On the wall above the love seat there is a medium sized oval mirror. Behind the small living room area is a simple wooden door that leads to Mitsuki's room, but I'll come back to that later.

On the left side of the room there is the small kitchen and dining area. A simple wooden table with a green table cloth over it, and 4 matching chairs around the table is the dining area. Simple but functional. Behind it is the small kitchen area in the corner.

A wooden counter-top along the side and back wall, and a section coming out makes a U like shape. The sink is against the back wall. Along the walls there are cabinets with plates and non refrigerated goods. Each foot and a half of counter is separated for a cabinet and a drawer just under the counter-top. The drawers contain various utensils and miscellaneous objects. The lower cabinets contain pots and pans and random objects that didn't have anywhere else better to go. All the cabinets are painted green, and the walls of the kitchen area are cream.

To the right of the section of counter that's not against a wall is another simple door, this one leading to Misora's room. A foot away to the right is the door leading to the bathroom, two feet to the right of that is Mitsuki's room door.

In each area of the room there is a light above it, and a light switch on the nearest wall. Above the living room area is a cream colored glass bowl light with bronze colored metal base. Above the dining area is a hanging light, a bronze colored wire and a cream colored glass around the bulb. In the kitchen there are a few plain lights under the upper cabinets, and a hanging light like over the dining area. In the center of the room there's a light fixture with four light bulbs pointing toward the four corners of the room, its light switch is next to the front door. Also scattered about the walls throughout the room are pictures and wall art from Misora and Mitsuki's father. Most of the things in the home had been inherited by them and brought into the apartment.

Now back to the bedroom I said I'd come back to.

Mitsuki's room is plain but neat, cream colored walls and the same hardwood as the rest of the house. A wooden bed with a plain green comforter and a pillow, its head against a wall under the only window in the room. Across from the foot of the bed is a full length mirror against the wall next to the door. On one of the side walls is a wooden dresser. Inside her small wardrobe, and on top of it a small wooden chest with all her jewelry in it. Along the opposite wall is a bookshelf. One shelf is full of miscellaneous books, but the other 3 hold various weapons and knickknacks. Next to her bed is a small square table with a photo of her mother and her when she was 15 and about to leave for military school. Her mother had been so proud... Next to it was a picture taken of Misora and Mitsuki on their first day here. The last picture was of Mitsuki, Misora, and Heyen at the Dragon's nest a few years later celebrating Mitsuki's working there for a year. They were all so happy, Heyen for the increase in orders, and Mitsuki on a steady job. There is a bowl light like the one in the living room in Mitsuki's room, and a lamp on the other side of her bed. On the walls are a few things, though nothing too special.

Next door is the bathroom, nothing really special there, so onward to Misora's room.

Misora's room has green walls and the same hardwood floors. Its a slightly larger room than Mitsuki's, but Mitsuki insisted that she have it. It has two windows, and benth them is a long narrow table full of plants. She usually only gets plants twice a year, unless someone randomly decides to give her one, the first is for her birthday, and the second for Christmas. On the opposite wall is a twin sized bed, its side against the wall. It has a cream colored comforter with a large simple tree on it. Dark brown limbs and trunk, and green leaves, and two pillows with pillow covers that match the comforter. Next to the bed is a tall dresser full of Misora's clothes, a bigger wardrobe than Mitsuki's. Against one of the side walls is a desk. The desk has five drawers, 2 on each side of the leg room, and a narrow one above the leg room. These drawers contain pencils and paper, in notebooks and loose leaf. Its where most of her homework is finished after coming home from the Dragon's Nest, or simply done if Mitsuki has that day off. On top of the desk was a few pictures. The first of Misora, her father, and her fathers friend all walking down a forest path when Misora was 5, a few months before her father died. The second was of Mitsuki and Misora at their first time at the Sanctum carnival. The third was of Misora in a class picture. And the forth was her most recent birthday party. All good fond memories... The desk also has a matching wooden chair. Next to the desk is a bookshelf. The bookshelf contains childrens stories to books on plant life and nature. The middle shelf though isn't as full as the others. It contains the books her father would read to her at night, and a few photo albums. The rest of the room was open space except for a stand to hold Misora's violin Music. The walls of her room had many different colorful pictures, most paintings of nature scenes, though a few were posters she had gotten over the past 6 years.

And that is their living quarters. I think I covered everything...))

(thanks, way too many school projects dealing with furniture can do that I guess)




Misora nodded, she unlocked her door and opened it. "Yeah, I think I am, I'm going to try it with my violin a bit later. Do you want to come in and have something to drink?" She offered smiling.

Misora beemed proudly, "Thank you Nate. And I thought you were tired. Good night." She said smiling cheerfully. She moved his hand off of her head and turned around and walked into her home. A glimpse of the living room could be seen through the open door. Misora stopped and turned around again after taking a few steps into her home, "I'll see you tomorrow. Hope you sleep well, good night Nate." She said smiling brightly and shut the door.

Misora went to her room and put her bags down. She unpacked the bags and took her violin and bow in her hands. She walked to the dining area and set her violin and bow down. She smiled sadly at them. The violin her father had given her, he had said it belonged to her mother. She stroked it gently, then went into the kithean. She got down a cup and filled it with water, then drank it. She went back to the dining area and picked up her violin and bow. She started to play one of the songs she knew by heart that her first violin teacher and godfather had taught her. When she was halfway into the song she felt the feeling of heat, she held it in until she started sweating, then let it go. The wave of peace washed through her again, and into the air around her. It traveled throughout the home and into the hallway and nearby rooms.

Mitsuki walked into the hallway that her home was off of and was welcomed with a peaceful song that brought a smile to her face. She opened her front door and smiled at Misora. It looked as if she had mastered her new skill. She could feel the peace in the air and the music notes coming from her violin. "Misora I'm home." she said with a small smile.

Misora stopped playing when she heard Mitsuki's voice. Her eyes widened when she say her side and arm. "Mitsuki! What happened?" She asked a bit shooken up, but after a few seconds she calmed herself and put her arms to her sides, "Did you get into another fight?"

Mitsuki ruffled Misora's hair, "Yeah, someone had a few too many and got a bit violent. I'll be fine, but I have the next two days off. So I can finnally get the dust off of all these pictures and spend some time with you at the park." She said smiling.

Misora didn't quite believe mitsuki, but didn't mention it. "Ok, I guess I should go to bed then. Don't forget to bandage your wrist ok?" She said looking a bit concerned.

Mitsuki noded, it'd been a long night. "Alright, good night Misora." She said ruffling her sister's hair once more. She went into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. Misora went into her room and put her violin away. She changed into her PJs. She turned off the light, and crawled in to her bed and under the covers.

Mitsuki flipped on the light and opened the cabinet behind the mirror. She frowned. They only had a few bandages and cottonswabs, she'd have to go shopping for more. Taking out the almost completely used roll of bandages she wrapped it around her wrist. Satisfied she walked out of th bathroom, turning off the light, and into her room.

She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She had a bright red line on her side from the dagger and stitches and a bandaged wrist. Not to mention one of her favorite dresses being cut and stained. She'd have to throw it out. Maybe in a few days after this drow buisness cooled over she go shopping for things. She only had enough food in the house for a day. So she'd need to go grocery shopping, clothing shopping, maybe trade in a few of her daggers at the weapons shop... She'd have a day of shopping after her side healed a bit more. She gently touched it, and a shooting pain went through her.

Mitsuki sighed again and changed into her PJ's, throwing the dress into the trash, and sat on her bed. She looked at the pictures smiling a bit. How much had changed since her days with her mother and military school. Now she was like a mother to her younger sister. She had to be a good role model. No cussing or fighting infront of her little sister, and supplying everything the both of them needed. Spending time with her, and being nice. All the things that came with parenthood she had to embrace since that day when she met Misora. And just a few weeks out of school too. Any later and she would of been traveling with a few of her buddies off on an adventure. She didn't have many regrets, Misora was a great kid. And she was proud to raise her. She smiled and turned off the light. She layed on her good side under the blanket and let sleep slowly over take her. Misora of course had been snoring by the time Mitsuki had started looking at her pictures.

Misora walked into her and Mitsuki's apartment with a smile, though it was hidden behind the plant she was carrying. Mitsuki heard the door open and close and woke up from her nap with a soft groan. She gently and slowly got out of bed, to see Misora standing there, a plant she was holding blocking her face. She smiled, "Your home early. How did the test go? And where did you get the plant?"

Misora spoke up, her voice somewhat muffled from the plant, "Nate said I passed with flying colors, and that he wanted to drop by briefly later. He said he might have to move me to the evening class." She paused and put her violin case down on the ground, then the plant. She stood back up and yawned, "My test was to try and get the plant to grow with my music. I started playing my violin, and once the notes appeared I directed them into the plant. It made the plant grow. I spaced out a little while and when I snapped back the seed had already grown into this. Nate said I could keep the plant, but is it ok if I take a nap before Nate gets here? I'm really tired..." She said, her eyes now half closed with exhaustion.

Mitsuki laughed a little and gave Misora a hug. "Sure. I'll wake you up once hes here. Remember to put your new plant near the window first, ok." She said. Misora nodded smiling, and picked it up, she reached for her violin case, but Mitsuki interrupted her, "I'll put your violin away later. Just put your plant by the window so it can rest, then you can too." Misora nodded, and went into her room.

Mitsuki watched her smiling and then picked up the violin case. It was Misora's only violin. She'd had it since she was 4 or 5. And now her powers were increasing again. She'd do a lot in her life, Mitsuki was sure of it, and would help in any way she could. She was happy watching Misora grow, even if it made her feel old. She was proud of her sister. At moments like these she wondered if this is what her mother felt like when she started showing new skills and talents. She smiled at the thought, then sighed. No one she knew knew what had happened to her mother, it was a mystery she hoped to solve one day. Maybe after Misora was in her own apartment and had her own job.

Mitsuki walked into the main room, and then to the dining area. She set the violin case down on the table, then went into the bathroom. She changed her arms bandages and smiled at how quickly it was healing. She went into the kitchen area next and got a kettle out from one of the lower cabinets. She smiled at it, it belonged to her mother. She'd use it to warm water and milk to make tea and hot coco.

Mitsuki went to the sink and filled it with water, then set it on the stove and turned the flame to medium. She sat down in the living room area waiting for it whistle.

While Mitsuki was doing all of this Misora sat her plant on the crowded table with the rest of her plants. She then slipped into bed and pulled the covers over her. Within minutes she was sound asleep.

"Man. The weather is so unusual.." Nate whined to himself, letting his umbrella come apart until they flipped around mechanically to form a single square of the fabric. His boots were soaked, leaving trails of water in the hallways. He felt bad but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Mitsuki!" Nate called, knocking briefly on her door at the same time another roar of thunder came. "..I wonder if they've already slept.." He whispered, attempting another knock.

There still wasn't much of a reply. Should he enter? He didn't want to intrude and possibly wake them. "....." He loosened the laces of his boots and slipped out of them, leaving them outside of her door.

When he turned the knob it didn't seem like it was locked. Maybe they were still expecting him..hopefully he didn't make them wait too long. The airways were actually frightening in this kind of weather so he had chosen to walk; it only took about twenty minutes at the most.

He gently pushed against the door as he opened it, mildly poking his head in to see if anyone could be seen. Mitsuki was about the first thing he saw, resting on her couch. "Hi." He greeted, slowly stepping in and closing the door behind him. "I knocked, but I'm not sure if you heard me." He said, justifying his intrusion into their home.

The rain had soaked into his shirt, but he wasn't as wet as he should have been, but his pants were. He was glad for the hardwood of her dorm. If it were rug he would feel pretty bad..well, worse than he already felt walking in drenched. He'd avoid sitting down.

"Is Mitsuki asleep?" He asked, placing his wrapped organizer upon the coffee table.
