Practice Here!

"And we passed that didn't we..."

He sighs and stands back up, shuffling his pack back onto him.

"Well, let's make the best with what we currently have at our disposal."

"So on towards the mansion then?"

She sighs, "Well don't be suprised if nearly everyone is asleep..."

"Yes. Onto the Mansion!"

He starts to walk at a brisk pace, following carefully behind Ritsu.

As they approach they can see a red-headed youkai leaning against one side of the gate, she appears to be dressed in green chinese-styled clothes, with a hat to match.

"That's Hong Meiling, but hardly anyone bothers to remember her name..." Ritsu whispers.

And now we play the waiting game with Person...

What waiting game. I'm only behind because I thought this thread had 11 pages. >.>""

"You're right, that does sound like a stupid name to remember. Can't I just call her China or something easy like that?" Sakura gives an innocent yet playful smile.
"And why are you whispering, ARE WE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE?" She purposefully yells the last part to make Ritsu's whispering ineffective.

"I think she'll get mad if you call her that..."

Ritsu winces at Sakura's yell...

"Geez, I was whispering because ahe might view us as a threat...and that did not help at all."

She glances over at the gate guard, who has spotted them and straightened up, "She's waving at us, so we should still be okay."

Ritsu walks over to Meiling.

"Fine, I'll call her Homm Meiring or whatever it was..." Sakura grumbles in Ritsu's ear, floating beside the other girl as they approach the gate.

The Chinese gate guard looks over our group.

"Uh, Good Morning, usually we don't get visitors this early in the day.."

She looks at Sakura a bit longer,"You're that fairy that came by awhile ago right? The knife one?"

Sakura's face begins to turn slightly red "W-what are you talking about? I was being too sneaky for you guys to have noticed!"
It took her a few seconds to notice "I-I-I mean, uh, what are you talking about?"

"Well you did make a bit of a ruckus out here... But Sakuya came out and took you in... I don't remember seeing you leave though."

Meiling looks over the rest of us.

"Who are these people you have with you?"

"Sakuya, you say?"
"What a name-stealing jerk-face..." Sakura grumbles under her breath.
"These people are, uhh, I guess my friends. We came for the free food."

Meiling stares att our group and opens the gate.

"Well Sakuya let you in last time so it must be fine..."

Ritsu gets the feeling it really isn't.

Surprisingly, Sakura notices the worried look on Ritsu's face.
"It's okay, we'll be fine, just like Homm said. I make friends everywhere I go, just like with you guys. We're so close we might as well be related."

Hong sighs as the group heads in. "Well they didn't call you china at least!"

You are now in a spacious room with a large staircase before you. It seems like nobodys around.

Red and elegant describes the western styled interior.

"Wow, it's huge in here..." Ritsu says with more than a hint of awe.

"Yeah..." Sakura's attention wavers almost instantly though "I wonder where the kitchen is. I haven't eaten in FOREVER." she exaggerates.

"Actually I'm hungry too... and Meiling did say we could come in to eat... right?"

Ritsu says this nervously, but she hasn't eaten since she left home...

Sakura hardly seemed to be listening, and already had her eyes closed, nose stuck into the air, as she continuosly sniffed in the air around them.
"Mhmmm~! Smells good." She licked her lips and headed off down a corridor to the right "I think the kitchen's this way, Ritsu, Vaal. C'mon!"

Ritsu and Vaal speed after her, however after a few turns they've lost both her, and what little scent of food they had been able to pic up.

Sakura continues in the direction of the kitchen, oblivious to the fact that her two partners are missing. Upon turning a corner, she runs into a small group of fairies.

"What're you doing here?" one asks.
"Same as you, looking for food!" Sakura says, convinced in her assumption
"We're looking for food? I thought we were cleaning..."
"That's silly, why would you be cleaning when you could be eating?"
"...Good point, so where's the food?"
"I don't know, don't you?!?" Sakura says, becoming more desperate as her stomache begins growling
"Stop yelling!" A couple of the fairies begin looking panicked
"WHY!?!?!" Sakura yells

Ritsu thinks she hears a yell in the direction sakura ran off to, but shrugs, 'She's a fairy she'll be fine.'

Shea turns around to try and fiind her way back to the entrance with Vaal in tow.

He goes back to the beginning of the entrance of the building and waits, looking around he smells the air for food of his liking.

"Where does the mistress of the house keep her storage of blood? I'm dying for a taste of it..."

"You could just follow your nose right?"

Whenever you guys go off on your own, I'm counting on you to control npcs, if you need me to do it, just let me know.

Stupid Stage 6 fairies and their ability to unload enough bullets in 3 seconds to cover a small nation...

"Waaaaahhh!!" Sakura screams as she flies around a corner, fleeing from the fairy staff of the mansion. Suddenly the other fairies stop dead in their tracks, and Sakura notices just a moment before slamming into the body of someone.
"Ow..." She rubs her head, looking up at... a human maid?

HOLY CRAP SHE'S DISTRACTED! QUICK GRAB EVERYTHING AND LEAVE!

I dunno if you are gonna do Sakyuun~'s text? or do you want me to do it?

"Huh... I feel like now is a good time as any to look for that blood, I guess."

Ritsu crosses her arms.

"I'll just wait here though, I feel a little weird just walking around aimlessly."
