fun in school once again...

So today I went to the library in search for a book about tropical deciduous forests, but this kind of stuff is so rare … I guess it can’t be helped, not so many people love plants as much as my teachers... or my head chief. Hell not even Andrew likes theme, he does have a passionate hate for theme thou. As I was saying, I’m trying to get a project done by tomorrow and I have this lack of information going on so I don’t think I’ll be able to pull it through without having a one-night-stand with botanic and fitocenosis witch are both my heart subjects. Now let me tell you how I got here because I’m not the kind of person to offer for these things.

This morning I was woken up at 6:30 because the ‘classes’ were starting at 8 … why in god’s name do I need 1h and ½ to get ready, only my sister knows. Anyway, I got up, got ready by 7 and went to have breakfast, some yogurt with cereals (petty good I must say). Then I started wondering where are we supposed to group up and why the hell are those girls still not ready, we were supposed to leave … 5 minutes ago and it’s 7:55… I guess the place is pretty close. This place is wonderful in the morning, the fresh air, the blue sky and mostly the elegant aura… but I miss the crowded city. Finally, they were satisfied with their looks, now I can’t blame theme for taking their time, but making me get up so early is pure cruelty. Carla was wearing a green dress with yellow trimming and lime flowers, she had gloves and a lime ribbon attached to her braid; after her, my eyes landed on Mary who was dressed in a pink wavy dress, simple, strapless and elegant and then Ne-sama surprised me with her flower-patterned knee-length dress … did I miss the part with get a dress? Even Rory was in a dress, an orange-pink stripped one (ugly as hell, but I can’t judge her taste...) none the less, only I was wearing a red T-shirt with a ghost on it, a pair of grey shorts, snickers and my backpack. All the other girls were having elegant, heeled shoes or sandals and elegant mini-bags, it was demoralizing me a bit, but then Ni-sama and the twins came dressed in shorts, T-shirts and dragging their backpacks; told you I was more of a boy! Now everyone was present and we were looking from one to the other, no one knew which was the appropriate ‘uniform’ but we went with the flow and climbed into our cars, well Ni-sama’s and Ne-sama’s cars to be more specific. I have no driving license and we were grouped in 4 to 4 gangs. We were already late by 10 minutes, but Ne-sama knew a shortcut and got us in the 15 minutes of the academic be-on time thingy. It seems this kind of thing was usual for theme cause of my sisters… they wouldn’t survive this way in my faculty.

Now we arrived at the specified location, which was a school… literarily a bad joke. A Harry Potter looking school because on the outside it looked like a 10 room (6m²) building but inside it was huge! almost of the Rose Red mansion’s dimensions. The classroom isn’t hard to find when you have an angry teacher waiting with an annoyed Andrew standing at the entrance waiting for you. But the biggest surprise so far was waiting inside the class, at the dusty desks were waiting with bored expressions my best friends. The fact that I also knew some of the other people because they were also friends with my buds was negligible now. Even the teacher’s ancient outfit was unimportant, now the fact that my friends, the ones supposed to be in other towns, were here, this was vital.

Their shock was not so big, they were just happy to see me and I was happy to see them, it was also a plus that they were dressed in T-shirts and jeans. Seems that Poison, Bony, Black-gato, Secretzela, Brotaq and Dodo were the nicknames of my friends Cornelia, Oana, Constantina, Geanina, Michelle and Rodica who had grandparent in this town, it’s so strange they didn’t know that until now. We had a 5 minutes hug + wa-zup moment and then the professor cleared his throat and started his lecture. I remember him telling us this was a basic knowledge class and it was 4 times a week; his name was Iulius and he has a passion for Rome. Carla was making jokes that he was from ancient Rome and his clothes weren’t denying it. This class was all about culture, life and daily things and we got a test, the easiest test ever since it was about movies, music, anime, manga, books, basic biology, computers, food, drawing, paintings and other such things, eve the history questions were easy. Let me give you some examples:

1.       What is the name of the main character in ‘The body thief’?

2.       Who is the bearer of the ring in Lord of the Rings?

3.       How many main characters does Jigoku Shoujo have?

4.       Who was the first king of Romania?

5.       Where is the longest river in the world located?

6.       What are the most used OS?

7.       Name one species of endangered animal from Europe.

8.       How many books did J.K. Rowling write?

9.       Name one Spanish dance.

10.   How many characters does the Japanese alphabet have?

11.   How many dialects are spoken in Germany?

12.   Where did the first human appear?

13.   What is the name of the best pop band in the Eurovision history?

14.   What is the name of the main actress in Titanic?

15.   Write the main geometrical theory. (triangle)

And so on, really easy, we finished in 2 hours thou because of the quantity of questions displayed. There were people that had difficulties and even Andrew complained a little. Iulius said that the test was going to get us in study groups and he even gave us homework: write a 20 pages essay about the differences between the European and Asian cultures with examples (the essay can contain only examples). At first it didn’t seem too hard, but the 20 pages long gave me a bad feeling, mainly because it was due to tomorrow. Than we moved to a wako -class, literally, it had distorted objects all over the place, along with floating and/or sparkling things. They said it was the magic class and everyone got excited, even the rational Brotaq and Secretzela were enthusiastic about it. The professor was an old lady that looked oddly like the cat-girl from Soul Eater (I never know her name); she started her class with the bibliography which was full of large books with long names. Then she sorted us in pairs and then groups: me + Dodo, Brotaq + Blackgato, Oz + Dex

Secretsela + Carla, Rory + Mary, twins

Bony + Poison, Adi + Christi, Nessi + Lavi

Ne-sama + Ni-sama

We than started practicing some transfiguration spells and they all worked, even the growth of plants and animals worked, it was creepy. And again we got homework: write the main battle spells that A. L. Severus suggested for dark matter. Now I don’t know what dark matter is, but my time is so going to be limited today.

I thought the third class would be some stuff with chemistry and turning things into gold but no, it just had to be some FMA alchemy class. The teacher, a midget pink-haired kid, started turning the lumps in our class in paper tables and made the stones on the tables become crystals. Then he started to make fire and water out of leafs and other things, really creepy! These time no groups or anything but he told us to practice with some paper in order to find our affinity, Naruto stile! I got water and wood, but the tutor said I have talent for all 5 elements. Bony and Poison only got wind and the disappointed look in their eyes said it all. You can’t impress with air or can you? Happily no homework but we have to practice using the techniques in a book.

The fourth class divided us because it was a specialty improve class, were the biologists were conducting experiments that combined cell culture and potions, the it experts were combining alchemy and searching the internet, industry was getting magic and alchemy together in order to make furniture and other things; the girls in the design area got to make dresses based on drawings and air/water and in arts you get to make paint draw by itself or sand to finish a sculpture or the piano to play Chopin just by thought and even the voice to imitate the songs of birds. It was amazing; sadly we had to test all sections in order for theme to find our true affinity.

For me it was the weirdest experience ever because the potion used to grow a person was accelerating the culture and it was making the organism to evolve and we got from a culture of bone tissue cells to make a real bone and the process wasn’t stopping. After more experiments we deduced that it was due to the basilisk blood that had amazing growth properties. It creped me quite a bit and I wasn’t the only one.

Then we went to home economics were we should have cooked but after Brotaque, Secretsela failed and Blackgato make everyone bow to her feet, they decided to let us clean and take rounds in cooking. It was fun because we mostly lacked of, it seems having experience by cleaning after others help, well Bony and Poison were left behind because they were ‘protecting the nails’ and stuff. And I’m not even mentioning my sisters; they were trying but not succeeding. After an hour we left the ‘princesses’, as Andrew and Nessi were calling the persons that didn’t finish cleaning, and went to the next class: free choice. Here we found a series of lists with things to do in 30 minutes, that was the first time I saw that we made so many classes in 4 hours … and to me it seemed ages!

I picked a black list on which was automatically written my name, Brotaque’s because she touched it next, Andrew who was just too curious and Lavi’s who wanted to joke but failed. A red cross appeared on it that meant that a group was formed and that the game could begin, we stared at if for some minutes and then started gathering things that could be useful on this trip. We had to climb a mountain, get a pink bird, steal a flag and get out a fortress… who can’t do that in 30 minutes?

The map was guiding us on a long, curved road, but we went straight using branches to climb, the first person that climbed, had to tie a rope to a rock or something in order for the others to fallow, the one leading was Andrew because me and Brotaq were lacking experience and Lavi was a coward. The fortress was actually a cottage or looked like one because inside we found a giant room where we had to play volleyball and football. Me, as the great player I am got us almost loosing, but Lavi saved the score with his encouragements and the consolidation of Brotaques passes and Andrews saves. All this time someone in the team was supposed to remember the music and answer the question at the end and that’s when I used my talents. And while some band was playing punk-rock famous melodies we had to play football, were things changed because I scored and the other 3 were just trying to protect the gate, all while screaming names of bands and titles. When I thought we were done, they started throwing basket-balls and the boys make a show while we had to sing traditional songs from all over the world, this got us the pink bird, but when Brotaque ‘borrowed’ the flag we were circled by the other players who were now dressed in red and white. They had swords and arrows and seemed ready to kill, but we run and the chasing was funny because we tried to camouflage ourselves, but the arrows looked automatic, they traced us all over the place. Finally we got out, but the enemy caught my shirt so I had to struggle to get out, but the thing was strong, thing because it has no face anymore, not even a human shape, it was a black flubber.  I really thought it was going to tear me to peaces or drawn me in the blackness, but Andrew placed a hand on my eyes and pulled me while mumbling some things. I really don’t remember the way back, but Brotaque told me that we simply run and locked the door when we got inside the building. It seemed the black things could not survive without the flag, or so the book said, neither could they climb down the mountain.

Back at the building, others were barely starting to leave while some of the others were arriving, but we were the first to finish in 30 minutes, that was certain.  We started chatting about what had happened when Granny came and told us we had to join her for tea. And it wasn’t just her, the duchess and her cat-like person were there, some samurai and a butterfly-person were also in that old-fashioned amber room. They said it was a relaxing time, but I beg to differ because none of us felt right. We were served green tea and tiramisu while everyone discussed our performance and the fact that we were so casually dressed. Andrew tidied his shirt so he looked a bit more … official, but not so much, Lavi got his hair tied up and got his jacket off to reveal a simple blue T-shirt, Brotaq simply looked at me and we started laughing. Now everyone thinks we’re crazy! The boys were having fun watching us get scolded by the older persons, but we just ignored the comments. The butterfly lady told us we will be leaving that old-fashioned map-tapped room, that started to intrigue me because of the animal/plants drawings placed on the maps and walls, and we will go shopping in order to bond.

The bonding failed after she left us for a red dress and a blond young man. We thought it would be better if we did window shop for a while, maybe they are supervising. And we were right, the teachers were watching from around the corner. After walking through some stores, we headed for the mall and there they lost us. With our plan completed we chose to have a bite, no lunch today and dinner wasn’t close either. While having a coke and some fried chicken we chatted about that night’s plans and Andrew remembered we skipped work… mostly that I skipped because he had excused himself and so, in order to save my ass a second time that day, we and mostly I had to go clubbing with theme.

As we were planning and arguing about fair and unfair and other things like this, the other girls and some of the boys found us. They had finished the ‘mission’, as we called it and the tea and decided to ‘bond’ with us so they tracked us down. Poison and Christi along with Adi and Bony decided to skip clubbing for a passionate night, while Nessi and Blackgato decided to ‘join us later’ aka after the passionate session, only Dodo and Secretsela were eager.

The group split in order to get ready and I headed home to get changed & co. On the way I regrouped with my bros and sis and they decided to have a wild night with us. Oh joy. At home I got online and checked my email where I found that I had to make a project next week for the study biology class that was going to be next Thursday. I decided that was going to wait until next Monday and that today’s priority was black matter and the essay which took me 2 hours. At almost 22 I was finishing ‘homework’, when Carla burst in while dragging Andrew who was all glamour. They both started yelling and gesturing me to get ready. It took me almost 1 hour to please theme, because they had a problem with my rock-casual attitude and even with my make-up. When they were satisfied, I was ready for a dance club, but luckily we went to an old music to new music place that entertained us until morning. Once again I had a student night where I danced and drank and danced again until I fell on my bed for a blessed hour of sleep… I was woken up again at 6:30, but I skipped and slept for another hour.

The second awakening got me a bit dizzy and the rush didn’t make me more energetic, neither did the classes. For the first class we presented the essay and had a debate on that theme that ended with Christi and Adi fighting, Oz and Lavi ripping the papers and Poison and Bony were having a friendship crisis. The second class got some desks burning; books became origami and potions made holes in the floor. But that was all forgotten when we figured out some genes with the help of magic during the third class. The fourth class was a pain for all the boys … well almost all, my sisters and Dodo know how to dance, while the rest of us don’t. Andrew swore he will never dance with Poison, Lavi couldn’t move after Bony tripped and got him a meeting with the floor, while Ni-sama begged me not to step on his foot for the 12^th time that hour. Everyone was glad when we got to karate and we could let our rage and anger out on our partners: boys vs. boys and girls vs. girls. Blackgato got my ass kicked again just as she was doing back in faculty; Brotaque chased Secretzela all over the place while Bony and Poison really fought. The boys had fun, they laughed by our clumsy moves, it seems all of them had blue, brown or black belt and were just playing around. Later we got to learn kyudo, again the boys were already going pro while we were barely managing to adjust to the bow. After what seemed like ages, we were finally finished, I can’t say I don’t like archery but it’s stressful when people are laughing. Next course was about architecture and house design, we had to make and decorate our own house in 2D and than on the computer in 3D. Maybe one day I’ll show you my art, I’ll just say it went well and got me calmed down. In order to describe the house, I’ll say its normal, with 5 rooms at the 1^st floor and 4 on the lower floor and a lounge in the attic; I also used pastels and objects from different cultures in order to decorate it.  The garden was hard to draw because we had to make the flowers in detail, but it was fun…

Next we got to ‘study biology’ which meant to take care of some fish in the aquarium (I got white shark newborns and the rearrangement of a clown-crap aquarium), than we had to pot some plants: ……. and take care of theme for the next days. Afterwards we went horse riding which was awesome, I really loved it!

After class I had to go to work and recuperate Monday’s hours and to Thursday’s labor. It was just some cell culture preparation, changing the medium for others and making some new bacterial and fungus cultures. Nothing too hard until now, but I had to read data for the antibiogram, test the level of calcium accumulated in the medium for some cells and some UV analysis.

After work, we were invited to a party, Oz’s house was empty so he wanted to have fun with us. Pretty fun: dance, drinks, fun… until things began to get a bit to passionate. What do I mean by that? Well Brotaq was making out with Lavi on the roof, Secretzela and Dex were having fun in one of the bedrooms, Chris and Poison along with Bony and Adrian already left, Oz and Dodo were kissing on the sofa and I was just taking another sip of the votka when everything went black. Later I found myself making out with Andrew in the garden, that moment a lot of questions were crossing my mind, but I couldn’t stop, he was definitely a good kisser.

“.. hei, wait! Andrew, stop.”

“What now? What’s the matter this time?”

“What do you mean? Everything is a matter! What the hell happened? We were just having votka inside…” his face was definitely puzzled. “That happened hours ago… you don’t remember? You started kissing me and dragging me onto the balcony and than you tried to jump down … I cought you and we started making out. And slowly we were trying to get somewhere alone because all the rooms were busy with the others… You don’t like me… right?” his face was so full of pain I simply spoke my mind. “I do like you, but I don’t know you… and you don’t know me. Just give me some…” “Time, yeah right. I get it.” “Than was do you propose we should do?” “Let’s just be together and we’ll get to know each other. Isn’t that better?” “Ok, but…” kiss “But what?” kiss “Don’t…” kiss “let…” kiss “Ni-sama a..a..and Ne-sama…” kiss.. kiss… kiss “find out…” kiss “Don’t worry, they already know. They’re watching from the second window…” “And you don’t care, they’ll murder you!” “Soo… you do care, huh!?” Andrew smirked while slowly pulling me up along with himself. “It’s embarrassing! They’re still my family…” his smirk grew larger. “Soo? They won’t care or they’ll just be happy for you… let’s go back, you’ll get a cold with that dress…” I looked down and noticed my messed up black dress and her pulled down braces and blushed. “Or maybe we could just find another private place…” “Nope, not today, I want to go home.” “Don’t worry, we’re leaving soon anyway. It’s almost 5!” “Oh joy, another sleep-less night!” “What do you mean? You slept yesterday for at least 2 hours!” “Nope, there were 2 hours at most.” “Interesting… and even fascinating, whou woud have thought you can pull out a night with almost no sleep and tons of drinks? I’m impressed.” “You shouldn’t be, I’ve done better … without blacking out.” “I’m wondering, if that’s how you kiss when you’re unconstient, how do you normally kiss, better or worse?” I was shocked by this statement.

We went back inside and I fell asleep on the couch while Andrew was getting some lemonade. When I woke up I was warped in a blanket and cuddled in Andrews arms whilst he was whispering my name. We got up, tidied our clothes a bit and went to classes, that day Ni-sama and Ne-sama gave up following me and ‘taking care’ of me because ‘someone else is taking care of her now…’.

The classes were uneventful, we had alchemy, some biology and home economics were my cake made the boy’s hearts melt. Afterwards I went to work along with Andrew who was trying to be lovely-dovely, but Dea and Nao were enterfearing, they were having fun while Andrew was slacking off and had to make some insecticide and anitibiotic tests. Later we planned a self study session in the library where I read some great books about anthropology and mammals biology, 4 books to be exact. And afterwards we had to return to school for some art class and table maners class. The first one got me drawing some original characters, writing a sorry for theme and towards the end of the period I started making origami cranes and boats. As for the second class , we had to arrange a table in an English maner and do an ikebana decoration.

Later that night, Granny dressed me up in a big fluffy blue dress with matching gloves and a tiara and announced that I will attend a ball. My shoes had 5 cm tall heels and dancing was not my forte, but Andrew seemed to enjoy spinning me around. The ballroom was large, full with large demon pictures, quite creepy to be exact. That night I had only one glass of champagne, but the black-out happened again when I was chatting with Andrew in the garden, but this time, not only did I jump into his arms but also I bit his toung. He was shocked, I was shocked more, but my body was craving for blood, his blood. I knew there was a disease that required people to drink blood, but it was genetic and I didn’t manifest it until now. Surprisingly, Andrew didn’t get mad, he was happy about it and said I simply love him. Weird, if it would be the other way around, I would be freaked out. The rest of the night we stood outside chating and kissing, but at some point Andrew fell asleep onto my lasp and I was stuck, but it was nice, the air smelled of roses and his face was so peaceful. At some point he mumbled something in a weird language that seemed oddly familiar, but I’ll just have to investigate that later because he woke up, seems he has a biological timer for 4:40 in the morning at parties. He took me home and for the rest of the night I googled things for classes, read some manga and wrote on the blog.

The next 3 days were almost identical with the first 3 days of ‘school’ with the exception of me falling asleep in classes twice, burning some materials, destroying some samples, repeting a test 3 times because of being dizzy. But Sundy was a bless because I slept all day long, but now it’s Monday and my project isn’t finished even thou I searched the library and the internet, not even the magic learned earlier today helped, I’m not even mentioning the bio specialty thing… it’s useless. We also once again got in trouble today because of our mission where we had to guide pink unicorns to a tropical forest and find a rare snake and 7 species of flowers. Why did it have to be a wet forest and not a dry forest, that was what I needed! Anyway I’m off to bed, tomorrow morning will be the finish-up and I don’t want this week to be one of the one-night stand study + clubbing weeks.

up on the hill and down on a ... plain???

Soo the time came and we went to the party ... but let's start with the 'he came'.

16:45 sharp

Andrew dressed in an old age similar to my dress costume. He even had gloves. He actually requested permission to take me out from my gran and dad!

"Lady Tadano, Mr and Mrs Tadano may I take Mariska to a tea party?"

"Well of course. Have fun darlings." said gran all enthusiastic.

After gran shut the door, Andrew took out a small gift bag and threw it at me while descending the stairs and ... untying a black horse. Is he normal? He has a horse .. ok .. he had actually 2 horses .. I never thought I'll ride a horse in a dress!

Anyway in the gift bag were 5 jewelry items ... well grouped and matched: an antique blue hand watch, a blue diamond necklace with a horse chopped from another blue diamond (... people die for this right? ... but awesome none the less), a bracelet and 5 earings matching the necklace .. ok 2 earring were small and cute for my upper ear holes and 2 were long and horse shaped for .. well the normal ear holes.. but all of theme were just perfect for my outfit .. even for the small hat-like accessory that I had pinned to my hair.

I placed the items while Andrew looked very satisfied of himself. And than I tried to get up on the horse .. but of course I couldn't .. so Andrew pulled me up on his horse with just one swift of his hand ... strange .. he doesn't look that strong .. and he shouldn't be that strong. We just left the other horse there and went on at an extraordinary speed towards the northern part of the town, to the farthest house were we got down and the horse was taken away by a butler ... sadly not Sebastian .. sorry for the reference.

We walked up the stairs, hand in hand, through the oak double door and straight to a large room with couple of tea tables and lots of young - I might say, even though I think they're not how they look- people.

We took a sit at a table in the corner and a Lady I've never seen before came in the middle of the room table area and started to speak in a crystal clear voice almost child like.

"Welcome my beloved guest, and dear partners. I hope you'll enjoy the evening. This evening's speciality is Wu-yi Oolong Tea  and waltz. And now I'll invite you to dance!"

Oh joy, I just got here and I have to dance .. and everyone is actually waiting for something ...

"What are they waiting for?" I said while getting up and taking Andrew's hand.

"For us to dance, silly. We are they're most important guests so we must open the dance." he said grinning.

"What if I don't know how to dance?"

"I'll take care of that.." said Andrew while pulling me close to him and started swaying on the dance floor while the others gossiped on the edge. Than they started dancing along. I have no clue on how I didn't make any mistakes or stomp on Andrew's feet but luckily I did.

When the melody ended (and it was pretty long) we took our seats while others stood and talked or still danced.

"Why did I have to come here again?"

"Because you were slacking off. What you don't like it? I thought girls died for things like this."

"Nope, not me. I like rock music so no old fashion things. But I like Kuroshitsuji.."

"Ah so that's why you accepted the costume?"

"You've seen it?"

"Yeah..."

"Yey, an anime fan! I would do the happy dance but I have to sip the tea with my 'elbows down and pinkies up' so no can do."

"You're funny. Just don't dink the tea at once, it'll.."

"Cause me energy rush, I know, but hey it can't be that bad.. right?"

And after 15 minutes we had to dance once again and a slow melody and me having an energy rush! Fantastic. But Andrew had us excused and we went to visit the garden. It's way bigger than my garden .. that means it's huge! And we just kept walking until we got lost. Lost meaning like a forest lost only that it was a labyrinth of roses, everywhere you looked, there were only roses. White and yellow roses with a lot of bunch lily all around theme like a little wall, but even tho the so called wall was small, you couldn't see the house.   Andrew was a bit too panicked for his usually calm personality, but I wasn't .. we got lost often in college.. different places, same us and it was always ok so I wasn't afraid or something.

"Let's try to get back this way... I think... don't worry we'll be ok... I hope..."

"Andrew, you are worrying to much. Chill, it's going to be ok. Let's go this way.. looks familiar."

"Are you sure?"

"No, but I usually am right. I have experience with this. Trust me."

"Don't know what to say about that..."

"Say nothing and follow me."

We walked through that garden for what seemed like hours, but I bet it wasn't so much, after all this is another strange place. Suddenly Andrew twisted me and clashed swords with a person that had a cat like head.. literally. That guy, didn't look like a girl to me so I'll call it a him, he had a red costume that looked a lot like Lelouch's school costume, he also had a weird hat - like Watson's hat .. if I remember correctly, oh and  pair of red gloves. But the most odd thing was where the hell did Andrew get a sword. He didn't have one before that moment and why does the other guy have a similar sword ... well a different crest of course, but a sword none the less. I don't get this people, do they do magic or what? Why do they carry swords to begin with? All my thoughts were flushed when they started talking.

"Why hello dear Light-kun, I see you've brought a friend to the party. A cute friend I might add ... what is she to you? And get that filthy sword out of my face!"

"Oh come on Cesire, why are you here? And she is none of you're concern."

"I was invited of course... on three or now?"

They both jumped apart and sheathed they're swords. Andrew was still in front of me even tho I recovered my temper... after all: fear is the mind killer.

"Who are you? And why do you, both, have swords? Are you unreasonable people or what? Cause normal persons don't go carrying weapons around."

"Oh .. such a theory, you're so naive little one or maybe you're uninformed, but that is not my job to begin with, darling. My name is Cesire White, I am Antoine Duchess's nephew. And you are?"

"Mariska Tadano. Dou you mind stepping aside or if you know the place, showing us the way out?"

"Yes, I mind. I'm here to torment and hurt little Light-kun here, but as you are with him, I'm going to pick on you too... or maybe I'll.."

"Boring... you are one boring person. So I'll just ignore you and walk along. I don't have all night to play."

As I said this, I tried to get past Cesire, but he took the sword and placed it at my neck.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you.." I told him, but no moves. In a moment I took his sword pushed him on the ground and placed the blade at his neck.

"Told you.. now stay here and be a good boy, I'll take the sword inside so you won't be able to .. hmm..  threaten me.. yeah that would be the word."

"Wow.. how did you do that?"

"Did what? I just used my sword fighting skills... they're more impressive when I use a katana, but this sword is not bad either. Let's get back now .. or do you still want to chat with your friend.. I can go on alone if that is the case.."

"No, I can't let a lady wander on her own, now can I?"

"I am no lady so you can let me wander.. so cut the gentlemen act and tell me your option."

"I did, now let's go .. we'll be late for the last tea.."

"What? Do you now the way now or what?"

"Yes, look there's the house."

That was the moment I realized that we were walking all this time. Sometimes I loose the notion of wandering, mostly with music playing, but conversation is good too.

We got back to the tea-room and I gave the sword to the mistress of the house, our hostess, Duchess Antoine, who looked a bit taken back but gave me a good glare, as if she was insulted by her nephew's lost to me. What can I say, she needs to keep him on a leash.

We were next invited to another dance and after that we took our leave, it was already 23 and I was beginning to think of Cinderella and her midnight clock. But now my problem was: did we have do ride a horse home again? My question was answered by Andrew's hop on the horse.. I was thinking of going on foot.. but no, he had to hop me too on the horse next to him. The ride was once again extremely fast, even so I almost fell asleep.. what? the dude was warm and cozy .. I couldn't help it. When we got to my house I wanted to return the jewelry but he just waved it by saying something on the lines: "It was a gift to begin with, so keep it." than he gave me a hug and hoped back to his horse living me standing on the doorsteps awed. Why did he gave me the hug and the present? He is weird, cute, but definitely weird.

And that's how I got here ... ok I had to climb the stairs, you get the idea. But hey it was nice .. the tea, dance, garden .. and even the new encounter ... but that not to much.

Ok, now off to sleep, tomorrow I have morning training .. and it will be once again uncanny.

 

up on the hill and down on a ...

Today was fun! Meaning hell! I mean seriously I love working and biking and stuff but having to make a 40 page long report about how to mix proteins and how to combine some basic lipids and alcohol is simply annoying! I mean it's chemistry .. and I hate it.

And for the day to be more annoying Dudvy played all day long only and I mean only dance music! And Nao made stupid jokes with proteins on witch Andrew and Caro were laughing so hard ... is it me or these people love chemistry for I hated the jokes.. but hey Dea joined me on the emo corner .. I wasn't so social, and neither was Dea, so we were labeled emo. Very mature from there part.. really.

Pus on the way home, as a second punishment for being 5 minutes late with the report because of getting him coffee, Andrew got me to give him a bike-ride home ... and gave me strict instructions on the tea party .. actually he gave me a list with things to know and to accomplish until the tea party like:

1 Dress in blue .. why?no idea but I have a Ciel-like dress .. and by Ciel I mean Ciel Phantomhive. Yeah I'm a Kuroshitsuji fan .. but it's cute .. and nice .. and blue.

2 Take with you gloves, shoes, hat and matching umbrella. Ok ... this is freaky .. where do I get those .. hmmm ... granny took care of that I see ...

3 Your purse must contain only: handkerchief; Your House Key ONLY not all that thing ( ... hey when did he saw my keys??? ); your phone. No books, iphones or shuch things. (He didn't mention the mp3-mp4 ;) )

That includes mp3, 4 whatever.  ...  oh joy.

4 Be ready at 4:45. Tea is at 5.

5 Hope you know how to dance. .. it's a tea party .. no dancing ... right???

6 Don't wear any jewelry.

7 Match the make up with the hair and dress..

He definitely  is strange .. cute, but strange... but hey I'll endure this just once.  And once only .. I hope.

Now off to the dressing room .. Ne-sama is doing my hair today so it'll be great!!! And Mary is with the make-up ... yey!!! Even tho I'll have gloves, Carla does my nails .. just like old times.

b-rabito where did you hide?

I'm in the mood of describing more of the tea-party. why? don't know, just am ...
first let me describe the dining room: the walls were a deep crimson color mixed with a deep green in the form of grape leafs and the bottom part .. one meter to be exact was made of pine wood.. or so it looked. Than there was the ceiling, a beautiful light yet harsh green, witch had two white chandeliers hanging .. they were not so old fashioned , yet the glass bars and the hands forms were giving a false impression of old style. The furniture was classic ... and I mean classic! As in the renascence style classic.. weird much..

Now I do remember the taste of the tea, the gray earl tea with sugar hearts, poured in the spades modeled teacups. There was also white and green tea for the tulip and mouse teacups and some black tea for those cups with feathered lions. I also remember that Andrew was complaining that he always gets blackberry royal tea when his cup is always cherry filled .. as in just having cherries all around it. 

I remember my sisters "beautiful" speech about wonderland:

"If I had a world of my own everything will be nonsense
Nothing will be what it is because everything will be what it isn't...

Midnights hard nights marching into the fights
Dreapy shreapy they dont mean to screapy ...

In contrary wise what it is it wouldn't be
And what it wouldn't be it would
You see.. "

And yes those are part of shinedown lyrics for 'her name is alice'. But also she reminded everyone of our favorite recent movie Alice in wonderland .. with the quote of Alice:

"There are 6 impossible things I can do before breakfast:

1. There's a Potion that can make you shrink.
2. Cake that can make you grow.
3. Animals can talk.
4. Cats can disappear.
5. There's a place called Wonderland.
6. I can slay the Jaberwockey."

I remember her saying it was important for us to remember Alice .. and she got a bit upset that I was making jokes with the mad hatter and Rory was fooling like the Dee and Dum twins.

What can I say I really liked Johny Deep in that movie, the Mad-Hatter is and will be my favorite character even tho I still adore Kate Beckinsale in Alice through the looking glass. She was pretty and the story was wicked also "you can't eat someone you've been acquainted with... remove the pudding.." and it looked so good .. oh I will always remember the Red queen and Alice's crown .. it was .. natural.

But shipping Alice and all the stories about wonderland and looking glass that were debated that evening, they also debated vampires.. and everyone had different ideas. First gran said that the vampires Anne Rice and Bram Stoker were describing were a wild experiment the real vampires also known as noblesse in the Noblesse manhwa .. or something on those lines .. meaning the real deal was similar to what that manhwa was describing ... well I can't blame them for liking Raizel...

Anyway they really criticized Twilight because come on no one believes that vampires sparckle (If they did I would understand why Bella wasn't afraid) and they also had a major problem with the 'vegetarian' thingy, they said that Anne Rice's Louie was telling the truth that it wasn't enough. They also said that real vampires just clone blood .. easy and non-killing.

We also debated Japan and for the first time I was agreeing with Andrew that it would be awesome to go and work there for a while .. but we were the only ones agreeing .. the others were ignoring us..

Well, this is all I can remember from before the announcement, all the other things were a blur ... but I'm still thinking those people are weird I mean they believe in vampires and magic and others, ok I believe in theme too .. but I think they're out there, never meet theme, but they think they know everything ... weird weird and double weird ... anyway tomorrow it's training. I have no clue what kind of training, but hope it's ok.. also work and I even have a movie invitation from Dea and Caro, Nao and Dudvy didn't decide yet and Andrew is totally not invited!

I'm also thinking about the names of those other people implicated in the 'saving thing' as me and Carla named the operation, and I'm referring to the fact that they sound just like some of my friend's nicknames ... weird.. but hey I'm using this word in each sentence since I got here.

Now I have to go mix some proteins before our 'boss' punishes me with another 'for this you'll go with me to a tea party' .. got it today! I'll tell you later about it.. by the way riding the bike in the morning is still awesome!!!

hello b-rabito!

Finally the tea party is over ... ok that happened last night but it's the same for me. But you don't know so I'll tell you what exactly took place. First of the 'main' guests were supposed to be some kind of 'noble' persons of our time and guess who it was. Yes, you might have got it right, it's that guy, Andrew and he came with Mrs Sway. But there were also 5 other persons: Mr Sway of course, Robert and Taylor Walters and finally Bree and Kirsten Celuci. Did I ever say how young everyone is? Well Mr and Mrs Sway look no older than 40 years and the other 4 .. well I can't give theme more than 30 years .. and that with a lot of aging from my side.
Everyone was dressed in old age costumes like some sort of medieval carnival or a faerie tale, but it was just a tea party in our old style garden. If I didn't know I would have said I'm in wonderland, but no mad hatter here. ... well, not yet. I was forced into an old stile dress, a cream dress with lots of layers and roses, but wicked none the less. My family seemed to fit perfectly into the picture of the party, but I didn't. I tried to escape several times but someone kept catching me. The only other cream costume around. Freaky everyone matched. The Sways were in some kind of bloody red, the Walters were in dark blue, the Celuci had dark green robes and my family had they're clothing a decreasing orange-brown sort of color. Mine was the most faded and granny's was the most intense and dark, like some kind of age-tribal marking.
Since he arrived, Andrew was stuck to me like glue to a paper, I couldn't get rid of him. First he took one of the tea cups and sat next to me, he even dared to take my book - little kept it in a way so no one would notice and no one except him did. Than he followed me through the garden wanting to know me more. Jerk, hate him, want to get rid of him. But I also found out some info from him like the fact that the 5 most important families in this town were having problems with some intruders that wanted to destroy this monotone and quiet place. And they're choosing some young people, mostly the heirs or the young members of they're families to solve everything. He also told me a weird story about some gates to other worlds and magical places in town, but the most disturbing thing he said was: do you really think everyone here is human? than how come we are all so young?
Really, dude, I don't know about you but this is how I am and I am human.
I really thought all that walking and drinking took at most 15 minutes, but when I checked my watch (actually his, I didn't have one attached) there were almost 3 hours. Weird.
We got back to the others and they weren't surprised we went missing for so long, they actually continued they're debate. I love cookies, there were so many, got into a race with Mary and Carla for theme while Ni-sama and Ne-sama covered for us. Than the discussion caught my eye well .. ear maybe:
"We have decided." 
"Indeed we have. The ones chosen to finish the job are: from the house of Walters: Poison, Bony and Black-gato." said Robert.
"From the house of Celuci: Brotaq, Secretzela, Nessi and Dodo." announced Bree while writing down the names.
"From the house of Sway, the chose ones are: Chris, Adrian, Oz." said Mr Sway while passing down the list to my father who placed Andrews name next and started to write our names..
"It has been decided that the house of Light would be represented by you, Andrew, Dex  and Levi. And from the house of Tadano: Mary, Carla, Rory and of course Mariska."
"What? I'm not going to participate in something like this. This has nothing to do with me."  I was shocked, they were getting me into some stupid thing of theirs', unacceptable.
"You are here so now it is your problem for you are the only one that can solve it. I'm going to start your lessons the day after tomorrow. All of theme have to report here 10 o'clock sharp on that day." My gran-mothers voice boomed shutting me up. I had no power, not even the power to move, I was numb. Literally. The look she gave me, unforgettable.
I felt a pressure on my eyelids and with my fading vision I saw Ne-sama approach and pull me to my feet only that i wasn't standing by my power, but by hers and the last thing I remember is tripping on the carpet.
That was so weird. I never thought that something like that can happen. Scary.
I have no clue how I got into my bed, but what is certain is the fact that somehow Andrew ended up here too ... when I woke up he was fully clothed, so was I, and laying next to me. I was shocked, but so was he..
"What are you doing here?"
"It's my room, my bed ... you're not supposed to be here!"   
"Oh, right ... how did I get here, I only remember wanting to argue with the others about they're choices when everything went black.."
"Hmmm ... sleeping pills?"  we both looked at each other.
"Neah.." Than he excused himself and left.
And that's how I ended up here ... this town gets weirder by the minute. I have to return to the real world soon ..

sun above clouds

Today I went shopping ... yeah, I know dread full!  I hate shopping! And with granny and mom it's always torture, only ne-san can save me! And she always does. We went to the one and only mall in town, yeah, we have one of those, and mum and granny jumped in the first 'pink-thing' shop to find clothes for me. Oh hell no! I dragged theme out and we took of for a nice elegant shop, that granny adores, much to mum's dismay and a bit to my dismay, but granny loves old dresses so she made me try on like 100 bride-like dresses, the only thing that made them different from bride dresses were the colors and some wicked decorations I chose! Afterward we went through all the fashion-like shops to get me attractive things and they got me things, happily nothing pink, than were the shoes.. I have to admit we were shopping at high speed cause we were done in just 2 hours.
When we were almost out, I saw the gothic and some Japanese stores and run towards them with ne-san (we love those things) and I got my black and creepy stuffs and also a couple of kimonoes and cosplay crap cause I can't live without ... or maybe I can but I want with than without. My granny liked what kimonoes and accessories I bought and I was pleased to hear that from her, no one gets compliments from her.
Now I have to get home, change and run to work cause work is on the other side of the town and I'm always late, but it's a first day so I have to get on time and not be late!
Now how do I get home with 300 bags .. and I don't think I'm exagerating.. well granny got it covered, a dude came and took em all away just like than and we got to go with granny's renault.
Now why can't I borrow the car? Cause granny is selfish with her car... but I got a bike! My old bike, got her in my second year at the university and I still can't 'drive' it to well, but today I'll give it a try.
I get changed in my skinny jeans and my 'don't ask me, I'm offline' t-shirt wich is black and large, my tennis-shoes and off course my bracelets, necklaces and black jacket.
I climbed on the bike hanging my backpack in the back and stroding towards work without killing myself. On the road people were staring at me with so much as curiosity, I wonder why, but I really don't care, I was paying attention only to the road until I bumped into a person and I fell of the bike, that dude should be ready to feel my wrath cause I'll be late and angry.
"Dude why are you walking on the bike line?"
"Why not? The street is full with people where should I walk?"
"Than why don't you pay attention to other people?"
"Whatever! It's you fault for not knowing how to walk on a bike!"
"What? Oh fuck off!"
And I just left. I was so pissed off I had to listen to a lot of rock music from my mp4 in order to calm me down. When I reached the lab, I saw that it was full of creepy persons, all were ghost-like or very bright colored and none of theme wore coats or gloves or anything imposed by the rules and legislations.
I placed the bike in the thing for bikes - I don't know the name, never did, never will - and went inside, I got to the directorial office were Mrs Sway said I'll be working in lab 4 under the instructions of the all so renowned Mr Light, I never heard of him, well except if he isn't the Light from Death Note, but that one dies so nop, never heard of this famous person.
My coworkers are pretty weird, they're only 4 but they're very loud and happy. One of theme, Dea, is very laid back and is a wacko-goth-lolita wearing a lolita red dress, snickers and pink braids; another, Caro is amazingly loud, she squils at everything Nao says and he says a lot of stupid stuffs and there is Ludvy, the music dude, yeah we have a stereo here, why? don't know, don't want to know. I started to do some experiments around when the oh-so-famous
-that I've never heard of- Mr Light came, and guess who he actually was? He was that jerk I bumped in earlyer. Oh joy.
"Hello people! Did you finish today's assignment?" I was about to finish the experiments I was conducting around when Dea jumped with a board in her hand. "Yeah, Riri here is doing even some in advance!" "Do not call me Riri, not Mary either, it's Mariska!" "O..k.." Everyone is strange around..
Light-dude was intensly studying me, why? Again a don't kno don't care thingy. I noticed he was actully my age, well everyone around was my age or at least looked my age, he had black hair, no I mean really black hair and very deep black eyes and was taller than me.. and he was still staring even tho I was just doing my job and was trying to combine some HCl with some plant extract. That's when I snapped. "What?" "Nothing.. why are you what-ing me?" "Cause you're staring.. don't think I'm good enough or what?" "No, that's not it, you're respecting every rule so that's why I was staring... what was your name again, new girl?" "I don't give my name to people that are not presenting themeselfes!" "I'm Andrew Light, now what was your name again?" "Mariska, Tadano Mariska." "Tadano as in the Japanese form tadano as in just?" "Yup, just like that, got a problem?" "No, none, I know your relatives, actually everyone knows your family except you.." "Well I just came back from college, so that's all it is to it." "Really, interesting. If you're finished, you're dismissed."
This is going to be easy, if everyday we have to make only 2 vaccines and 4 experiments, I'll get of in at most 4 hours. To easy I can say, but you may never know what this Andrew will ask of us.
"I can't believe he didn't request your file!" said Dea out of nowhere. "Why should he?" "That's how he's checking everyone, and Mrs Sway doesn't give files to anyone." "So what? Maybe he's busy or he forgot. Don't actually care." "Ok, see ya tomorrow!" "Bye!"
I rode back in silence and daydreaming. Got home and wanted to sleep, favorite activity, when mum said we'll be having guests in 4 hours so I should get ready. I will but I'll still sleep before... so off to sleep now. Hate granny's tea parties and guests so I might as well be fresh and reloaded!
 

himalaia gonners

In the auto-post from vox they say click on compose, I looked for it for 5 seconds - long time people! It's not compose for Crist-out-loud ... i think thet's how it's spelled, it's create!

Anyway last time I was telling you about me goiying home, right? Now I'm camping so let's start.

Now, I'm home, yeah, home, in this thing.. oh, you don't know, I'll tell you!
First off, let me tell you about the town, after I got out from the freaky forest, I walked into a valley were a town was, it looked a normal, a bit to many houses ... or better yet, let's say, only houses, and all had at least 2 floors, I heard later that the 4 floored ones were for more than one family, or for families with more than 6 kids, only you can't call theme kids, all people in this town have ages between 16 and 30 years old, I've also seen some young children but no old persons, maybe they all go somewhere else I thought, but no, granny (yeah she's alive) had to come and burst my bubble, she looks far more young and beautiful then me, she doesn't look like a 80 year old hag, she doesn't look a day older than 45 at most! This place is too quiet and too green and most of all to dark, I thought 'mountain, well than sun', but no, it's just beneath the clouds, I have to climb on a knoll to see the sun, and most of the time it's foggy, not cool. What else? Well except for the fact that the valley is surrounded by mountains, it even has gates! Why? No one guards theme, but they're supposed to protect us from bears and wolves, yeah I'm scared of theme.
Now my home, it's a 4 floor building, but it's not like the others, 4 floors and 4 or 5 rooms on a floor, no, it has at least 12 rooms on a floor. Yeah, my thought too, it's freaking huge, and my room and all the other rooms are huge, but here, it's not just me, mum, dad, ni-sama, ne-sama, Caroline, Mary, Clara, Yuri, Rory, the twins, Beethoven, Cloud, Lily and Sheeba, my aunties and uncles and baka cousins are here two, like I didn't try to get rid of theme once.
I've enrolled in the laboratory and I even was accepted, they said my references are exceptional, and I thought I was average on that.
I even got to decorate my room, initially it was empty, yeah weird! So they dragged me to buy furniture, got a bed, fluffy one two, wardrobe, coffee table, office desk, library, red-black carpet, moon pendant (yeah, didn't have one weird), pilot light in Japanese stile... most of the things were black or auburn or Japanese stile, I also got my first bath chair!!! And also I got a new pc (with a memory of 3 gb and a 360 processor!) and a tv with a tv support and a sound system and to my surprise they got me a Nintendo, not that I'll play with it and a draw pad!
My biggest question is why would granny buy me this stuffs, but more, where the hack does she have the money? Did she rob a bank or what?? Anyway I'm happy so at the moment I don't care, theoretically tomorw we're goying shopping for clothes, cause I have a small wardrobe and she want's to stuff my new, big closet.. yeah big day in this city.
They want to buy me a car! But I gave theme a big no! Come on, even tho there's a good road I don't want a car in a small town! I a larger one would be nice, but here, no way!!!
Also, they don't have a biology teacher, because she's in maternity leave, so I'm gonna replace her for a year, at the local school - oh joy - feel the sarcasm!
What else did I do today? Oh, yeah, I ate, a good mushrooms with garlic and fried potatoes and also some snacks like chocolate rods, cake and chocolate horn. I'm a chocolate fan. I also wanted to read some manga and watch some anime, but I was to tires so I just figured I should write here.
Now off to bed, tomorrow is a long and hard day, shopping and first day of work!
Feel my joy for shopping and the real joy for working!
 
By the way Beethoven is my st Bernard dog, Cloud and Lily are my parrots and Sheeba is my black cat!
Ni-sama's name is Andrei, Ne-sama's name is Angelica, mum's name is Natalia, dad's name is Elisiav and granny's name is Ana. As for the other 4 ounties, 3 uncles and 6 cousins ... I'll tell you next time.
 

expo redeam

It is said that somewhere in the depths of the mountains there is a place, a city, full of mystical beings. That's where I'm heading right now, I'm Mariska, an anime and manga freak witch is trying to find that lost city, or one close by where my adored family is living. I'm just some normal super-genius with a weird family and really this will be hard, I'm coming back from college and i never had a boyfriend, yeah, weird, but that's me so please, respect!
Now I'm 14 km away from that town, and I'm walking through my childhood path, I've comed to this place only 2 times, once at my granny's birthday and the second time at oni-sama's ceremony. I don't know what ceremony that was, but it was, everyone had one, except me and I feel excluded, that's what happened all the time, since I was in the kindergarten until I was in college.. this is me.
Now I'm just 13 km away, alone, through the forest.. with the wolves, bears, snakes and other dangerous animals. And let's not forget the trees and rocks and me, I'm afraid of heights so  you can understand how I'm passing through this mountains..
I've finished transcribing from my post-it's cause I couldn't stop in the middle of the road to write about the journey, but now I can so let's start writing..
I'm still far away from the place I'm trying to reach, but I'll do my best to get there. At the moment I'm camping in a tree, why? Wolves, heard theme, better if the bear comes cause I can have a bit of hope of throwing the food and outrunning him, even if it's a mad man's hope, but it dies last, right? Oh, yeah, I'm writing my 'memoirs' from my lpt = laptop, which is resting the screen on a branch cause it's quite broken and it's to expensive to afford a new one, student life. I heard they have a biologist post available at the genetics labs in this town and I'm available to take a look, but until then I'll just write about the long trip, I'm just .. 4km away, you may wonder why the heck didn't I go on, well cause there's a big abyss here, somewhere, and it's dark so I'm eligible to fall in it..
Now I'll go on with this tomorrow....
