Ohka soon came out of her room with a smile on her face. "Well, it's on the it's way to being complete. You'll know when it's here." she said, just managing to catch the display of the magic on the toy. Slowly, she walked back towards the group and was shaking a bit. "How much do you... want for it?" she asked, amazed and awestruck to see a working gundam model. "One? two?" she asked, her head desiring the item so she could get it signed and then kept perfectly preserved in a vacuum sealed case.
"Three thousand?" she asked, wanting it so badly to add to her collection.

Kaylee quickly shook her head in response to Sierra's statement, confirming the half-demoness' suspicions. Once Alicia came back out and the little robot was produced from the file cabinet that was produced from the orange rune, Kaylee tilted her head, looking very interested. [color=990099] ...I really could've used something like that. Would've made packing a hell of a lot easier on me... [/color] She raised her eyebrow at the tone Sierra spoke with as she spoke about her other power set. [color=990099] Huh...? She says that like something's after her. ...Must be first day jitters or something. I guess even demons have those kinda problems... [/color]

As the controller and toy both proved to be something out of a sci-fi movie, Kaylee's visible eye widened and a look of admiration grew on her face. Even though she hadn't exactly done well in school, working with mechanical things was one thing that excited her and led to her doing well in some science and shop classes. She silently looked toward Sierra, having a sort of sparkle to her eye, being too excited to type out a coherent response to the toy on her phone.

Her excitement diminished and turned into a small bit of a depression as Ohka came in and offered to buy the toy. [color=990099] ...Damn, I can't compete with three grand... That sucks... I wanted to take a closer look at her stuff.... [/color] She sighed silently before sticking her hands into her jacket pockets and resuming a nonchalant expression, trying to hide her previous excitement as quickly as she could, looking off to the side of the room.

Sierra smiled a little at Kaylee's reaction to the model, Ohka's reaction made her happy to. "Kampfer is not for sale. First of all, its tied for my favorite Mobile Suit, and the only Perfect Grade model I own, things aren't cheap ya know. But secondly, and most importantly, it only works if I'm feeding it the magical energy's needed to make it function. It's one of the many hurdles I'm dealing with, finding a power source that doesn't require the operator to be magically inclined. Another is a more precis method of control." Sierra said as she gave the cabinet a light tap, causing the 'storage run' to activate and store the object back in the stone. "I'm flattered you'd offer though, but sorry, I can't sell it."

Mirabelle had left for her room to cover the hole in the back of her mesh...but she needed to get a few things out for that first. This was extended to just unpack everything now and fix it afterwards after she remembered the large amount of things she had brought. She took a good look around the room before getting started, trying to decide where she would put everything. Most of the stuff that she brought had no practical purpose for her, most being alchemy tools that she didn't know the purpose of, but they comforted her enough to justify bringing them. Of course, some of it she did know of and have a use for outside the purely comforting so she started putting those up first. She had a construct that resembled a bendable tree, save for the fact that each side was even and each 'branch' ended in a mirror, which was put on the desk. She decided to store her father's journal on there too, figuring that it would be hard to lose it there. There was the carry-on tool kit that she used to store the ingredients for the Alchemical soul as well as the mesh ingredients, which was put by the dresser. There were the few mixing implements that were needed which she put on the desk with the mirror tree, and the repair tools that she dedicated a drawer to. The rest of the assorted objects were put on the dresser or, if they were durable enough, on the floor against the wall. Any papers that she brought, most holding info on engineering and alchemy with the odd planned prototype of herself, were hung haphazardly on the walls, like they were at home. Finally, she put the clothes that she had brought either in the drawer or in the closet. When all was said and done, everything looked cluttered but rather neat all things considering.

With that done, she set herself to fixing the hole she had made in the mesh. First she bended the mirror tree around her head, having each mirrors reflection reflect another's so that she could see the back of her head. She cut off the streched edges around the hole, taking care to not cut some of the hair out and make an obvious patch of exposed mesh in the back of her head. Taking the ingredients out, she blended them into a foam/paste mixture (she didn't know which it was classified as) before plastering it into the hole quickly, before it set, and pushed the hole together. After a minute, she took her hand away and looked at the result. It looked fine enough that you wouldn't notice unless you were actively looking, and that was before she ruffled her hair to cover it, making it unnoticable.

She went to put her bags away in the closet, picking one up before noticing something. There was something in the side pocket of it, weighting the bad down slightly. She opened it up before she remembered what it was. She had bought some jam before she had left, and had stored them in there as a peace offering, in case she had scared or angered anyone. She didn't know why she thought it would help, especially since they were labeled in spanish, but she had read about people giving such gifts to ease tensions so...it seemed like a good idea. Now though...best to just stuff them in the fridge and leave them for everyone else. She grabbed the jars, 7 in total and all in different flavors, and took them out with her as she left the room.

She found Ohka counting to...something. She said 1, 2, and 3000 but skipped the 2997 numbers inbetween...was she trying to by something? Whatever she was doing, Sierra shut it down. Mirabelle decided to interject then, taking her chance and running with it.

"I back. Um...i brought some preserves from home...well, my local market. Sorry about them being in spanish...I'll, uh, just put them in the fridge in case you guys want some." She then moved to the fridge and put them in before returning to the others.

"Could, but, you'll wanna see this."

She set the box down and watched as Sierra's toy robot flew over to her, before returning to Sierra. Most of her explanation went right over Alicia's head, but the word 'enchantment' did pique her interest. As she was about to continue on, Ohka stepped out of her room.

"Well, it's on its way to being complete. You'll know when it's here."

Huh? Must've missed something while I was in the shower

"How much do you... want for it? One? Two? Three thousand?"

Alicia rolled her eyes. Fancy yes, but it's just a goddamn toy... She thought. She never got why some people got so excited over some tech. She did have to raise an eyebrow, seeing Sierra seemingly stash all that stuff in to a carved rock. "Ok that is pretty cool." She muttered.

"I back. Um...I brought some preserves from home...well, my local market. Sorry about them being in Spanish...I'll, uh, just put them in the fridge in case you guys want some."

"Ohh, food is always appreciated!" She said, smiling at Mirabelle. "Between my magic, and my training, I have a tendency to eat a lot." Stepping back into her room, she set the box down, and read the label.

Code:
[u][b]Bunk bed-in-a-box[/b][/u]
[u]Instructions:[/u]
1. Place box beside existing bed/appropriate sized clear space
2. Break seal, stand back
3. Enjoy

[color=orange][i][u][b]///WARNING///[/b][/u][/i]
Make sure existing bed/appropriate sized clear space is clear of all personal effects or living organisms.[/color]
Following the instructions, Alicia broke the seal on the top of the box and stepped back. There was an audible WHUMP, and then suddenly there were bunk beds where a single bed had been; there was no trace of the box. "THAT was fucking wicked!"

"Bed's all set." She said, heading back over to her roomies. "So, who wants to go see what this place passes off as food?"

As Mirabelle brought out her jars of jam, Kaylee tilted her head a small bit. [color=990099] ...Actually, I could go for something... [/color] Luckily for her, Alicia had already suggested what she was about to type. She smiled and gave Alicia a thumbs-up and moved toward the doorway in anticipation.

"Well gentlemen I'm heading down to the cafe. If you like to join me your more then welcome to."

'That's actually not a bad idea...'
"Oi Wilhelm, wait up!" Jarrah called out as Tomas walked out of sight. After buttoning up his shirt and putting on a pair of shoes, Jarrah followed out into the hall and started walking towards the cafe. In front of him a trio of guys rounded the corner speaking in hushed tones.

"G'day." Jarrah said as he passed them. One of the trio looked back and muttered something about the 'god damn freshmen' before he stepped up his pace and disappeared around the other end of the hallway.

'Huh, wonder what his problem was.' Jarrah though to himself as he made his way to the cafe.

"Ummm... the school does have a policy of free roaming... meaning we don't need to stay on campus for all hours. I can take us all to a good place that i know around here. You girls just need to get dressed a bit better. It's a good place, and thus you need to have finer clothes... if you don't have anything really nice, i'm sure some of my stuff could fit you need be." she offered, wanting to make a decent first impression. "You know, to starting the school year and celebrate the fact we all got in?" Ohka said to the gathered group.

Jack watched as his two roommates left the dorm area to get drinks. 'might as well' he thought to himself as he followed the two.

He passed by a trio of men but simply ignored them. Whatever they were talking about was their business, not his. He caught up with up to Jarrah and asked "what drinks do you want to get?"

He waited for a response while looking around for Tomas.

Kaylee blinked twice as Ohka began to suggest them wearing a little nicer clothing to go out in. The mute sighed a small bit before typing up something on her phone and showing it to the pale elf. [color=990099]
Code:
 "Well.... I don't have anything fancier than what I've got on now... And I guess I'd have enough cash on me to pay for a fancier place than McDonald's... You have anything in medium?"
[/color]

[color=990099] I just hope I don't end up screwing things up once we get in there... [/color] She thought to herself as she waited for a response to her message.

As the topic shifted food, Sierra relocated her bags to her room, and since she already had that stone out, set up her file cabinet in an open corner, then leaned her bags against it, she still had one more stone to dig out and set up, her 'enchanting table' as she called it, but for now things where good enough.

"The clothing I have on is as 'nice' as its gonna get. Sides most my nicer out fits are form fitting and around all the perverts and drunks here, I'd rather not give them a reason to bother me so I don't have to hurt them." Sierra said, weighing in on the topic of finer clothing for the outing.

Alicia shuddered mentally at the thought of getting 'dressed up'. While yoga pants were currently in style, she'd never be one to follow fashion trends...she spent a lot of time working out, or training, so her current clothes made sense; otherwise she usually wore jeans and t-shirts from the thrift store.

"Sorry Ohka," She said with a shrug. "I didn't pack much in the way of clothes, other than a few sets of workout gear...was planning on hitting a second hand place when I got a moment." Despite her mother's best efforts, she?d never been much of a 'girly' girl.

"Umm... well... i'll be treating as a my sort of gift, and i'm talking about formal wear, or a kimono like this." she said and gestured to her current attire. Taking a realization that they'd probably not have something like that, she figured it'd be easier to borrow her stuff. "ummm... just follow me back i guess." she said and walked into the room and pulled out a bunch of different kimono's. "Choose your pick of floral patterns... they may all look oversized, but i can adjust the size with the sash..." she said, letting them look over the rather impressive amount.

"I guess it helps that my mother is working for one of the large fashion designers in tokyo..." she explained to them.

Following after Ohka, Kaylee tilted her head at the mention of formal wear. [color=990099] ....Is the place we're going that upscale...? Jeez, I'm gonna feel way outta place... but as long as the food's good... [/color] She shrugged to herself before raising an eyebrow at the large amounts of floral patterned cloth that Ohka had laid out. [color=990099] At least this stuff looks loose enough... Rather have this that some tight-ass dress... Bleh.... [/color] She leaned down looking stuff over before picking up a particular kimono [http://www.kimono-yukata-market.com/catalogue/pic/kimono/b-100/135/image85.jpg] and showing it to Ohka as she typed up another message.

[color=990099]
Code:
 "Are you sure that you ca--"
[/color] Her typing stopped halfway as Ohka explained her having a fashion designer as a parent. She paused for a moment as a few thoughts ran through her head. [color=990099] ...If she's loaded then...
Code:
 "Must be nice to have a good amount of cash then, huh?"
[/color] She eventually typed out and showed to Ohka, slipping one arm through a sleeve of the kimono.

"Uh, thanks." Mirabelle said as she looked at the kimonos. She had rarely seen such clothing, and usually it was on t.v. (the rare times she got the chance to watch) so having to choose one now was...rather random now that she thought about it. She thought she may have something that could work in her closet, after all, she had brought a few dresses with her since she didn't know what was appropriate. Still, she didn't have the fashion sense to tell what qualified for fine and even if she did, she didn't want to stick out amongst them as the only one in a dress while they wore kimonos. Besides, she didn't want to just pass up an opportunity to try one on and not see how it looked and worked.

she examined the kimonos, looking for an orange one since it was her preferred color. Not seeing anything that was immediatly orange, she instead chose a dark red one with flowers doing down it in rows (B-141 on page 3, if you need to know). She slipped her arms into it and tried to hold the front closed, saying, "...Now what?"

Following Ohka, she wrinkled her nose at the thought of wearing anything that even resembled a dress. But she seems to be trying so hard, I can't just say 'No' without a better reason than that. She thought.

Looking at the various kimonos, Alicia got the impression that Kaylee was of a similar mind when it came to clothes like this. Ah well, guess there's nothing to do but get it over with. Eventually finding one she could tolerate [http://www.kimono-yukata-market.com/kimono/image36.jpg], she picked it up and put it on much like Mirabelle had. Since the other girl/automaton had already voiced the same question Alicia had, she just raised an eyebrow, and waited.

Sierra looked over the Kimonos, and frowned "They're nice and all but I think I'm a have to sit this out. I just got a massive cramp out of my wings, and these make my wings hurt just looking at them" Sierra said. While her concern about the pain a kimono would cause was very much genuine, she also really didn't wanna were one, partly cause the 'pain' issue, but also cause they didn't suit her at all. Sierra was generally to tall, and to 'big' in the front for a Kimono.

"Nonsense!" Ohka said and wen through the drawers to find a kimono. After a minute, she pulled out a purple one. She got out a few bobby pins and set about decorating Sierra. Any resistance was met with a "hush" and continuation. it took all of maybe five minutes, but when all was said and done, she looked pretty good in it.

The way it was hung on her was with the top spread apart and hanging on her shoulders (mind you, it's still a long dress, photo was just a reference for the top area) with a dip in the back to accommodate her wings being there. The kimono was also rather comfortable, being tight enough to cling and stay on her, but also loose enough to make wearing it feel even better than normal clothes.

"See... i told you you were speaking nonsense." she said, the purple dress matching her hair tips and making her look rather good.

Then she turned to the rest of the girls. "Ok, Mirabelle, watch what i do and help Alicia while i help Kaylee." she explained walking up to Kaylee, taking the kimono and pulling up the material around her waist until it was at Kaylee's ankes, she took the smaller belt and tied it underneath the material. She did this slowly and explained it to Mirabelle so she could follow along.

Ohka then took the larger belt, four meters long and folded it in half before wrapping it around Kaylee's Mid section twice, over the extra fabric, leaving just a bit exposed at the bottom then tieing it at the back. Once again, she did this slowly to let Mirabelle follow and explained it to her her along the way.

"See, it's not hard." she said happily, proud of her work.

Kaylee lifted up her arms as Ohka slowly went to work dressing her up in the kimono. She squirmed a small bit as she wasn't used to wearing these kinds of clothes and as Ohka tied the midsection of the dress. Once all was said and done, the mute girl looked herself over, a small blush coming over her as she realized she was basically wearing a dress. Despite her previous disposition against dresses, she seemed to like wearing the kimono at the moment [color=990099] ...Th-This isn't... so bad.... I just hope no one I know sees me in this... [/color]

She picked up her phone and quickly typed up a message a thanks to Ohka before erasing it and showing the elf one more. [color=990099]
Code:
 "So we're headed to some sort of Asian restaurant then...?"
[/color]

And protest Sierra did, though she did little to try and stop Ohka, mostly cause she didn't want actually hurt her, which she figured wouldn't take much with how frail she looked, that how ever didn't stop her bopping her on the head. "Next time, ask, before just forcing a dress on some one" Sierra said as she looked at her self in the mirror, Ohka was right, she did look good, save the black bra straps anyway, she'd need to deal with those. more impressive is how comfortable it was for her lower wings, which where concealed by the kimono, they didn't feel cramped or confined at all, her upper wings hung freely so there was no issue there.

Sierra just sighed "Oh the hell with it", she reached around and unclasped the back of her bra, then a short bit of finagling later the straps where loosened and she pulled the thing off of her and tossed it on the pile of clothing, and after a minor adjustment to make sure everything was gonna stay in place, she was ready to go, even if she still didn't really want to.
