Looking for group (Salmane, Gakki and Mio)

Nanami Himura was never one for socializing, even under the best of circumstances. However, this was different. This wasn't socializing, this was bringing together students so they could interact with one another and have fun. And, all on the school's dime. What was not to love about that?

She had never been skiing before, but that was alright. She didn't have to, if she didn't want to. There was a lounge that she could hang out in and watch people. Maybe do some writing. They had to have outlets somewhere, and she brought her utterly tiny, utterly ancient netbook, with the worn out keyboard and mouse that hardly worked half the time, unless it was a completely flat surface. Then it worked three quarters of the time. Still, she shouldn't complain. She should just relax. Have fun. Not worry about it.

Carefully, Nanami looked about, pulling a piece of paper from her jacket pocket. She frowned at the paper and switched it for a different one. Found the same one as before After five tries, she managed to locate the names and faces of the people that she was going to be grouped with. Sokida Salmane. Gakki Masami. Herself, of course. And Kiyomi Mio. Only the last looked and sounded familiar. She had met the girl as she was trying to take the job with the maid cafe. Which reminded her... Yeah, she was probably never going to do that. She was just too scared of failure to do something like that. Now... where were they...? They were all girls, so they had to be somewhere in this crowd of all girls...

((Term's right, this new box sucks. Anyway, I'd like to do a fourway RP with you ladies if you don't mind. It can be done!))

It was her first trip as a student of Kizuna Academy and she was very excited to be here with the rest of the students. Being new like most of the students that's entered this school, she was a little nervous about meeting the other students. Making friends isn't easy for everyone and she's been thinking that this could be a chance to actually make some more friends. And another thing was that most of the people she actually met were all dudes, though she didn't mind it, she thought that maybe having a friend that she could relate with would be fun to have. Along with coming to a ski lodge was actually something she's never done, before so even then she could have some fun doing that as well.

Walk out into the brisk cold air that struck her face gently and her hair flew back by the wind. She put her hands together and placed them near her pink lips as she blew into her hands to heat them from, watched the air come from her mouth to the palms, feeling the heat from it. She crossed her arms over her chest and her hands in her armpits to keep them warm. She took a look in both directions to see if any of the students were around. She was told that she was in an all girls group of students, putting her hand in her coat pocket, she pulled out a small roster of students she's been grouped with.

She wasn't exactly sure of who they were, but hoped that she'd find them soon and get to know them fast and maybe get to have some fun afterward. She turned around and headed into the lodge, trying to get out of the cold for a bit and warm up.

Masami wasn't much of a skier. She definitely preferred snowboarding. So naturally, the first thing she did with her new her new source of income was spend it frivolously on a brand new snowboard. The rocker carefully carried it in on her back, practically weighed down by the board on her back, guitar case in one hand, and suitcase in another. She hadn't even bothered to drop off her stuff yet. Or more accurately, she had just bought the board, and didn't trust anyone but herself with her precious guitar, so she decided to take the bag as well.

She dropped it to the ground with an unceremonious thud, while she much-more-gently set down the guitar case. After fishing through her belongings for a moment, she fished out the list and unfolded it. "Let's see here.. Group.... Ah there I am.... Hmm..." She looked over the names, reading them aloud to herself. "Sokida Salmane, Kiyomi Mio, Nanami Himura and yours truely... Huh... Wish I at least knew what I'm getting into with this group..." She murmured. Though if she were being true to herself, they should be a bit more worried about what they were getting into.

((Since Sal pulled out, it's just the three of us. Yaay!))

Where...? Kiyomi Mio... She had heard that name, but where...? Nanami looked around, lost and confused looking until... there! That was the girl from the cafe! She shifted her heavy duffel bag and trotted over to her lest she lose her in the thinning crowd. "Kiyomi-san!" she yelled to try and get her attention. There was no way that she'd be going in alone. Who knows what dangers might be lurking inside already? Besides, it was just better to go into groups with everything. That way, people could janken for top bunk. She would just take the one that was closest to an outlet. Did she pack an extension cord? Too late for it now. She couldn't go back, so she might as well look forward and weep when she couldn't reach anything with her netbook charger.

As she walked up the steps toward the Lodges entrance, the steps were wooden and creeked with every step she took. The cold air blew on the back of her neck, making her whole body shiver from the brisk cold air. With a sudden cry of her name from the background, Mio slowly turned around to find the person shouting her name, it sounded familiar but couldn't put her finger on it. Though once she laid eyes on the young class mate and soon to be room mate, it was that girl from the cafe asking for a job position. Mio didn't know that she went to the same school as her and waved her hand out letting her know that she see's her.

"Hey!"

She shouted in return toward the female student, from her face as it has gotten closer she was sure that it was the same person that was staking outside of the cafe she worked at. Sai had mention her name Himura Nanami and she was applying for a waitress position, but Mio didn't think that she should bring up work when they are on a school trip. She tugged on the bag on her back, before jumping off the stairs and onto the snowy ground, slowly making her way toward Himura.

"Hello Himura-San! I didn't know that you were on the school trip. Whats up?"

Mio asked her in a polite tone.

Kiyomi? Himura? She head those names loud and clear. Looks like her roommates were already friendly. Masami wasn't sure whether to consider it a blessing or a curse. She sighed and picked up her things again before walking over to the other two girls.

First impressions, as the saying goes, are everything. But honestly, she didn't care about these first impressions. As far as she knew, these two weren't any more important than anyone else she could have been roomed with, so she simply didn't care. "Yo." She greeted simply. "You're Kiyomi and Himura, right? I'm Gakki Masami. Sup, roomies?"

Nanami was about to answer the older student when a third person joined them. That was it. It was too bad that the fourth person wouldn't be able to join them. They dropped out at the last second, but that was alright. These two people would be enough. "Hello Masami-san. I'm Himura Nanami. It's a pleasure to meet you." She bowed, but only just a tiny bit. The duffle on her shoulder was heavy and she wanted it off as soon as possible. "I think any further introductions and questions should wait. We have to find our room and get settled after all." She laughed weakly and shifted the bag to try and find a better position. "Let's see here..." She looked to the paper still clutched in her hand. "We're in Room 8. Where's that?"

As the two students met up in the middle of the path toward the entrance of the lodge and the buses along with the students that were either looking around or just didn't know what to do or collecting their stuff still. As they spoke another voice broke through them as another student walked toward them both, carrying something in both hands but Mio hasn't seen her before. Maybe she was from one of the other classes or a grade higher then she was, she seemed to be taller then Mio was as she got closer to them both and carried what looked like a guitar case. Introducing herself as Masami Gakki, with Nanami interrupting with a plan to continue this conversation inside, probably because of the cold.  

"I like that plan!"

Mio said energetically as she started to head for the door of the lodge again, since she had her bag had two straps, she held in like any other backpack, leaving her hands and arms free. Seeing as she was able to do so she walked to the door and held the door open for the two of them before walking inside herself. With the lodge lit up with small torches within translucent boxed lanterns, it gave the place a nice feel to it. With a lounging area which held two large sofa's and four chairs in front of a large fire place that was already lit and the warmth can be felt just as you enter the lodge. To the side was a registry desk, though the students didn't really need to go since everything was already paid for, they had to obtain their keys.

"I'll get our room keys. Room 8 correct?"

She said remembering what Himura said from reading their roster paper with their names along with their room number. Mio made a little fast walk toward the front desk, politely asking the women behind it if she could get three keys for the room. With a smile and a nod, the women behind the desk fetched the keys within one of the many cabinets behind her and placed the keys within her hand. Turning back toward both Himura and Masami Mio gave a wave of the hand to let them know that she's got them. The women also explained that the rooms where more toward the back, by just taking the next left and heading up the stairs, then just following a few room numbers down to the eighth room.

"Alright guys, lets go. I know where the room is."

Mio said eagerly as she started to walk toward the next long hall and headed up the steps skipping every other one, before suddenly losing her balance near the top, flailing her arms around a bit trying to retain it once again and threw herself up onto stable ground, and just laughed it off. Walking down the hallway she followed down the room's until finally reaching the eighth room, unlocking it with their key, she held the door open for the both of them.

Masami looked over the girls. She was sizing up her roommates. Were they threats? One glance at the Himura girl was all the answer she needed. Not a threat in the slightest. A smirk crossed her face briefly, and beyond that, she gave the other girl no mind. She had no reason to be concerned about her.

But this other girl, Kiyomi. She was a real threat. Though Masami still considered herself better looking, this girl was close. Close enough to make her feel just a hint of envy. But, if looks were all this girl had... maybe she could be of use to her. After all, a girl that pretty could be perfect for drawing more attention to herself. To her, "friend" was synonymous with "Tool" and "Accessory". She grinned, instantly putting on a friendly face. "Yeah, let's go." she smiled and winked to the two of them. "Who wants first dibs on beds, hm?"

Oh thank goodness that Kyomi-san was taking charge of their little group. Nanami wasn't sure if she could convince them to go along with her. After all, they were pretty and she... well, she wasn't. Quietly and bitterly, she wondered how long it would take them until they couldn't stand the site of her. Probably only a day or two. A night, if they hated her snoring or some such.

As it stood right now, she followed the leader doggedly, only setting her things down with a large 'ka-THUNK!' just inside the room once they reached it and it was open for her to do so. What a... western room this looked to be. Very American, with all the wood everywhere. Didn't they live in huge log mansions that they built themselves in a day? Or... was that Pool Bunion? Someone like that. At least there were four beds and a coffee table to share, so it wasn't like they were going to be sleeping on the wood floor. Which was good, as far as she was concerned.

"I-I'm kinda hoping for whatever spot's nearest a power outlet. D-don't worry!" she said quickly, in case they did get antsy about letting her hog it. "I brought one of those things that have multiple power outlets, and you can use them if you two need to charge something. I don't mind. All I have is my netbook." Now she was rambling on too much. Gosh, she needed to stop that. She put on her pleasant smile and looked to the two of them, even though she saw the only power outlet that seemed to be in this room somewhat near the bottom bunk of the left hand side. If she could just get that one....

With one bed left, Masami just shrugged. She honestly couldn't care less. If anything, she was more concerned about who made the choices than what they were. She simply set her bag down and climbed up onto the bunk above Mio, guitar in-hand. She leaned back and quietly started to tune it by ear. "Nice to meet you Mio. Like I said, name's Gakki Masami, but Masami's fine." She shrugged and gently started to strum out something.
Like Mio, she was interested i learning more. The other girl didn't really interest her. Let the nerd have her computer and she'll be happy. But Mio... she could be useful..

((Nnngh...No one calls me a nerd and gets away with it!!))

Oh... So she got the bunk that she wanted. Yaay. Quietly, she slid her bag underneath and let the others talk. She would be keeping a close ear out for anything that they said. As for her... she was content to just listen. At least the mask could be dropped now, and she didn't have to be friendly with them, for the time being.

Gakki Masami... She looked like a top bunk person. Up out of sight, yet could see everything. Could also do a sneak attack too, out of that height. She also seemed like a sneak attack kind of person. She would be staying away from her if she could.

Mio Kiyomi... She looked more of a bottom bunk type person. Down to earth. Somewhat submissive too, if one was standing. But, only people like Gakki-san would want to take advantage of that submissiveness. And one could always shank someone's legs, crippling them to go for the kill... Huh, now that was an interesting thought. Quietly as she could, she pulled her bag out and unzipped it to produce a smaller, bright red bag and a power cord, before shuffling off to plug it in, unzip her computer and turn it on. Today was going to be a mixed day, she could tell.

Mio watched as Masami climbed her way up onto the second bunk where she had chosen where to stay, along with her guitar shaped bag soon after she can hear the strumming of a instrument. Mio assumed that she was a musician from the moment that she saw the bag in held, unless she just liked to carry around the thing for some odd reason. Along with Nanami she just stayed where she wanted and started to pull things out one after another from that cord to her little laptop that she placed onto her bed. Mio tilted her head as she flipped over laying on her stomach and faced toward Nanami.

"I hope your not planning on staying there the whole day, let alone the whole time we're here."

Mio said concernedly seeing that she looked content with what she had now and didn't look like she was going to leave for the time being. Mio jumped out of her bed and rushed over to hers, sitting beside her with her head sticking out so she wouldn't bang it against the top bunk.

"We should go outside and do something. The only reason I was heading inside was because I wanted to put my stuff down."

She said scratching her head with a small smile on her face.

"Was there anything either of you wanted to do!?"

She asked curiously.

Masami looked down at her roommates. At first she was a little disappointed at the top bunk, but this was perfect. Hardly any of the room was hidden from her. She just kept strumming as she watched the other two girls interact. "Well, duh. Of course we're going to go outside." She set the guitar down and slid off the bed, landing somewhat gracefully on her feet. "If we weren't gonna hit the slopes, what's the point of coming? It's pretty much all there is to do here!"
