[Nervousness stirred deep within her stomach, a sickening feeling that rose bile to the back of her throat as she lingered outside the doorway to Saki's residence. A hand floated, frozen before the wooden frame. Poised to knock, Yuuki hesitated, uncertain momentarily about her resolve in coming. She hadn't contacted her ahead of time to alert her, instead it had taken all her courage just to muster up the strength to come here now. She wasn't sure that Saki would even respond to a message she attempted to send her way. The situation as a whole was still upsetting. With a glance down at the bunny in her bag, as well as the cookies in the other, it was only behind these two things that she'd felt comfortable enough (after all, who could resist an adorable bunny and sweets), in coming.

There isn't any sense in chickening out now.

Tonight and the next couple of days she expected would be busy. The new arrival of both Kain and Ruka reminded her that people can come just as quickly as they disappear. If she couldn't get the opportunity to apologize, she knew she would regret it later.

I need to for Zero, too... The thought was sad, and brought an entirely different set of anxiousness and nausea with it. For now, she just had to take one step at a time.

Inhaling, she took a deep breath, chest rising. Tentative at first, she finally brought a balled fist down to gently rap on the door.]

You know-- You know...

I don't really see the big deal about alcohol. It doesn't really -- taste all that great at first. Sort of like... it burns. But it's warm! I like that it feels warm.

[this is a slightly wobbly fifteen-year-old Nobody. he is still in the bar, with Shiki just visible behind him]

But I can handle it. [he is also slightly smug]


((ooc: feel free to address Shiki too))

[Unlike usual, Cross isn't making the slightest bit of effort at hiding himself. Anyone around might even say he's making a scene, what with the way he's kicking at every little piece of litter (or bot, for that matter) in his path. The sling around his right arm and the various cuts and bruises on his face, along with his cracked mask and burned out coat, should give some clue as to why --]

[-- although really, it's just because the stupid bartender robot wouldn't let him take the bottle with him. Piece of junk.]

[Notably, the holster where he usually keeps Judgment is empty. But anyone who thinks he's defenseless? He thinks you should just try him.]

((OOC: Anyone for a pissed off, slightly drunk, injured General? Oh, NOAH~~~ Come and get it!))

[Rayflo is in the training halls, playing spinning a wooden sword around in his hand. He'd been contemplating this for two days now. To challenge or not to challenge? Knowing Kanda, he'd never take the first step himself.

Challenge it is. And with a quick push of a button--the video turns on.]

I believe I'm owed a match. I did promise to wait, didn't I, but I've never been much of a patient person.

So Kanda, will you continue to hide or will you come out for a friendly clashing of swords? I promised you a free strike--if you're fast enough to take it.

[Calling you out in front of everyone, Kanda? WHY YES HE IS.]

{OOC:Any action will happen before the possible action thread with Kanda}

Hello lovely denizens of Marina, I am Tamaki Suoh and I would like to inform all of our newcomers of the Host Club which I founded! It is a club which makes use of a man's good looks and talents to please the beautiful women who visit us! And if that simply isn't enough to entice you to join us, I would also like to point out that this is a marvelous way of meeting new people. You will gain the opportunity to learn more about those you already know and form new friendships with others who you haven't met yet!

As king and president of this extraordinary club, I will be more than happy to answer any and all of the questions you may have for me about this so please don't hesitate to ask!

[Saguru can clearly be seen on screen in his normal suit, with two buckets behind him and a mysterious cooler next to him. Given there's some food ingredients next to the buckets, like vanilla, some people might jump to a logical conclusion that someone is making ice cream. They would be correct. He's clearly in the shelter common room!]

If anyone else is interested, I'm making homemade ice cream after it was pointed out to me that this area is sorely lacking in such. I'm prepared to make vanilla, but if anyone has any other preferences, just head over with whatever flavourings you'd like, some ice and two buckets.

Kamui, head over whenever you feel like it; it's a little tiresome on the arms to do it alone.

[Revive is at the library. He is bored so he's wandering around the shelves to see if there is anything interesting that he might like to read. Of course part of the reason for this is to get away from Nena and that haro of her's and give him something to do while at home. He's not looking for anything in particular, just looking at the moment.]

[He wanders passed one of the sets of tables where people can sit and read with books, still looking at the books to try and find something that might be entertaining]

So... it seems there's a group of boys who don't want to let girls into the clubhouse.

[ airily ]

Well, then. Who'd like to form a Host Club staffed by women? Welcoming male and female customers, of course.
