1 / Establishment of Routine

[syncingdoll]

Characters: Kohaku and a game of fill-in-the-blank. ..as in, you fill in the blank.
Setting: Dormitories, floors quickly accessible from the dormitories.
Format: Prose, but I like action brackets too.
Summary: The real question is "what now?"
Warnings: If you haven't seen Kohaku's opt-out thread yet, take a gander.

'Let's all be happy here.'
Kohaku's smile hadn't twitched as she read over the letter again, and it remained fixed as she calmly folded the document back up, and laid it beside herself upon the bed. Absently she smoothed out some of the wrinkles she'd created in the cover from getting up earlier.

"Maybe the apocalypse happened when I blinked my eyes.. that's really inconvenient."

'Inconvenient' was a light word. For a while, Kohaku stared at her hand, trying to work out what to do next past what she'd done automatically already. Looking over the letter was something she'd done the day she arrived, but that was at least yesterday - reading it again had just been a strange affirmation. She'd probably do it again the next morning.

What next..? The door to room 2-07 clicked behind her, and the hall provided no more ideas than the back of her hand had, save a direction to walk.

Otherwise, all those people wouldn't have looked so busy. ..hm. I'll give myself some time. We'll see which out of us settles in first!

_{[Linefacers aren't unfamiliar to Kohaku, at least, since her twin sister relied on the expression heavily.]}

[chainsawn]

... A competition?

[ Now something seems to glitter faintly in her eyes, as if the idea excites her a little. ]

A settling in competition.. I've never heard of that before. It sounds like fun.

[syncingdoll]

Doesn't it ☆?

_{[Somehow, the star there is audible.]}

Of course, it's no good to just go up to the other some day and say "I'm perfectly accustomed to being here now!" So I wonder what will make a good milestone...?

[chainsawn]

[ Some day she'll ask the girl to tell her how to master the art of speaking stars. Someday. ]

.. Hmm.. I don't know. What usually shows that people are settled in? Would anything seem different about them on the outside..?

[syncingdoll]

_{[It's the most sacred and closely guarded secret in all the worlds ☆! Someday, perhaps...]}

Let's see.. maybe it's a matter of isolating what makes someone look new, and going to opposite of that. Or we could ask one of the old-timers around here.

[chainsawn]

I know. [ She nods - almost determined despite the general lack of strong emotions - at the thought. ]

We could find a brand new person and a person who's been here for a long time and put them next to each other. We'll see.

..we could make a thread for this BD

[syncingdoll]

Ah, that does sound like the most obvious way! And I'm sure no one would find it too unusual to be asked how long they've been here. Ufufufu...

_{[This sounds like a plan.]}

LMFAO, we totally should..

[chainsawn]

Looks like we've solved the problem. Once we'll find it out what exactly it is that looks different, we can see it about each other as well.
