In pulses, come and go.ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ Her father had only been half serious when he had said she wouldn't be able to manage living on her own in the first place. She had answered him with a "challenge accepted." He had said if she found a place within a certain budget, he'd cover it and they would see how long she lasted away from home. But that was neither here nor there.
A backpack full of various belongings strapped on her back, Hotaru walked into the Mahora House with the air of wavering confidence. While she could be determined at times, she had never once tried to commission room and board from anywhere before. It was frightening, the notion of finally getting the chance to be, more or less, on one's own.
She tucked her hair behind her ear and breathed in deeply. This would be good for her, certainly. She would be able to spread her wings wider. Not that her parents were restrictive, but, they didn't seem to have faith. Stepping forward into the entry, she began looking back and forth in the entryway of the place. Now, where was the most likely place to find someone to talk to about acquiring a room here in the house? ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ

The inside of Mahora House was welcoming, just as one would expect it to be. The interior through the doors led immediately in to the rest of the building. Behind a counter, there was a slightly older teenager, ruffling through papers. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and she was doing figures on a pad of paper in front of her.
She glanced up though, not long after the other girl entered. "Welcome to Mahora House. Can I help you?" She flashed her a smile, and set her previously busy pencil aside.

Unruly strands of hair untucked themselves and she pushed them away from her eyes once more in mild irritation. She took a tentative step or two forward and cleared her throat.
"Sorry to intrude, but I was looking to possibly become a boarder here. I've heard wonderful things about this establishment." ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ

The other girl smiled. "I bet. We're a pretty tight run place. Miss C. wouldn't let it be any other way. So, let me guess.. new Mahora transfer? Student.. fairly young.. first floor work?" She shuffled around beneath the counter, and pulled up a basket of keys.
"There are a few rules for Mahora House. No violence. Fights between tenants should be resolved peacefully. Rent is due at the first of each month, and is 3900 yen. There's a bus that runs hourly between here and Mahora campus between school letting out and school starting.. so if you're truant.. well.. you have to get there on your own." She grinned at Hotaru. "Still interested?"

She reached the counter and grinned wider. "And yes. As interested as ever. Everything you've said has sounded reasonable enough." ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ

"Perfect." She slid a set of keys across the counter to the girl. "You can have your pick of rooms on floors two or three. Since I'm guessing you don't have a room's worth of furniture, I'll suggest third floor, we have some basics up there. It's nice and quiet too." She spread a roster in front of the girl, just a piece of paper.
"Sign your name next to a room number, and we'll arrange to get your first month paid up in the morning, that work? I figure you won't want to trek back to wherever you live tonight." She chuckled.

Hmm... she really didn't have much furniture back home that she could easily move over. A bean bag chair didn't exactly constitute as 'furniture', anyways. That being said, the third floor would likely be the best bet for her. She grasped a pen at hand on the counter and gave her signature next to the first spot she touched pen to paper to. Room six, third floor. Seemed like a plan.
"That works splendid. I have the things I need for the night in my pack. I can get the rest of my things tomorrow." She smiled at the other girl and then picked up the keys, looking at them with determination. She gave a soft laugh. "This is going to be fun." ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ

"Mmhn." A nod, and she headed out from behind the counter, moving to check the doors, before heading back. "So, if you haven't eaten yet, there's a fully stocked fridge. You'll probably see some of the other boarders here wandering around. You should be all set."
She gave the girl a little shooing wave. "Go on. Go find food, get settled in your room."

In pulses, come and go.ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ With a shy smile, she nodded. "Thank you for your help." She gave the girl a polite wave and then headed off. The layout wasn't that hard to get used to, and, after a bit of exploration, she found her room. Unlocking the door, she walked inside. It was furnished humbly; a futon, desk and shelf greeted her with welcoming emptiness. There was a closet and inside a few more shelves. The brunette girl grinned. After bringing over her things, it would certainly feel like home here.
She slinged her backpack off of her shoulder and unpacked it. She'd just brought a change of clothing or two, the necessities and her school stuff. She tucked the latter into and onto the desk, dropping a few books in a pile haphazardly. She tossed a DS onto the futon and then shook the last few things out onto the floor.
...Where were her keys? ...Oh. How had they ended up under the desk already? Grabbing them, she slipped the room key onto her keyring and then tucked them in her jacket pocket. That done, she headed back out, locking the door behind her, and hurried down to find that kitchen the girl at the front had mentioned. She found it without mishap, and stepped inside, hunger becoming apparent by the gurgle of her stomach. ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ

The denim clad backside was visible of a girl who was bent over, head in the fridge, humming as she sorted through the meal items inside. She stood after a few moments, arms piled with food, and turned, blinking at the new girl. She had a cookie of some sort dangling from her mouth, and a pile of sandwich fixings in her arms.
"Mmph! Mmph mh mhhp mhm. Mp Mpppmh." She took a bite of the cookie, the rest of which immediately fell down her front, landing in an empty hand as she shuffled things immediately onto the table to their side. "Oops. Sorry about that. Hi! Nice to meet you. I'm Gwen." She offered a hand out, then withdrew it once she realized it held the cookie, and extended her other hand, flashing a sheepish smile. ❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁

"Nice to meet you too. I'm Hotaru." She released Gwen's hand after a moment and rubbed the back of her neck nervously. She wasn't overly shy, it was just the initial meet and greet phase that she blundered her way through most of the time.
"That... that stuff looks tasty. Were... you eating dinner?" ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ

"Food stuff here is shared. The fridge is just magically stocked all the time." She leaned closer, and whispered conspiratorially. "There's a really prompt maid/butler duo who take care of the place for the owner. They keep it really stocked up, with all sorts of stuff. I love it here." ❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁

She smiled, her nervousness breaking bit by bit, and tugged another chair over to sit in, across from Gwen's. Hotaru blinked as the blonde girl leaned closer in. Then she shook her head and chuckled. "For a minute there, I thought you were serious!"
Then, with a glance at the food on the table, she went to the fridge for curiosity's sake and looked around for a few selections of her own. Picking up a pear and some sandwich fixings of her own (so as not to thief anything Gwen might have not grabbed enough of for more than one), she settled into the chair she had pulled over prior.
"Though, I think I'm starting to like it here, too. How long have you roomed here?" ஐﻬ¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´´¯``•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´ஐﻬ

But it's a really nice place, seriously." She picked through the pile of sandwich fixings, and fiddled with making what looked like a huge sandwich. She also continued munching on her cookie.
"And pfft, magic, real? You believe in that stuff?" She tipped her head, watching the girl with a curious expression. She did enjoy hearing the opinions of others - they were always interesting.
"So, how long have you been attending Mahora? I just transferred in recently." Om, nom, nom, sammich. ❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁-❁
