Kyoko flopped onto the bed with a heavy sigh, her exhaustion beginning to creep in. She closed her eyes but jolted when she heard a small knock on her door– as well as the one's next to her's. "Who is it?" She asked with a slight edge in her voice.
She opened the door, revealing a tall man who she assumed was part of the staff– considering that he was wearing a gold vest with a little sun pin at the collar. His hands were folded behind his back as he stood there, silently with that same broad smile the others wore.
"Um, excuse me? Can I help–" he held up a gloved finger to silence her and kept his gaze on the door next to her.
"I read the brochure, and I heard there's an arcade." Her eyes lit up like fireworks as she set down her guitar. "Also, Diara. That's a unique name…" She pulled out a little notebook from her back pocket and wrote it down. "My brother is a writer, and since I'm a lot more social I kinda steal names from people for his series. JUST in case. My sister Hyla taught me cause her boss is deaf. Long story. ANYWAYS. How about we all go together? Let the Queen next door get her beauty rest."
"Sounds good to me!" Ava said as she stood up and stretched. "Do you think they have a restaurant or cafe or something? I'm starving!" She exclaimed.
"Oh my gods yes, food sounds great. I could go for some cheesecake." She got up and pulled down her shorts, and looked at Diara. "Feel free to sign to me, I can interpret and say it back!" She gave him a thumbs up with a wide grin.
"Oh my gods yes, food sounds great. I could go for some cheesecake." She got up and pulled down her shorts, and looked at Diara. "Feel free to sign to me, I can interpret and say it back!" She gave him a thumbs up with a wide grin.
(Pulled down her shorts???)
He knocked on their door again, yet something about the way he moved created a hollow feeling below her stomach. She couldn't describe what it was exactly but– He stood upright, his hands behind his back again but this time, his piercing blue eyes bore into hers.
Kyoko shifted uncomfortably.
"Oh my gods yes, food sounds great. I could go for some cheesecake." She got up and pulled down her shorts, and looked at Diara. "Feel free to sign to me, I can interpret and say it back!" She gave him a thumbs up with a wide grin.
(Pulled down her shorts???)
(Ya know like when shorts ride up on you, and so you gotta tug down the legs so they ya know, don't??? Yeah like that. No she's just gonna flash everyone her cute undies real quick)
(Lol! Alright! I understand now.)
Ava looked up at the door when the knock echoed through the room. "I'll get it. I bet it's the celebrity. What is she even famous for?" She asked as she approached the door and opened it slightly.
"Dunno, some youtube star. I never pay attention to that crap." She headed to her room and changed into a pair of light blue jeggings instead, and came out, fluffing her hair as she glanced in the mirror. "Ah, that's so much better." She said with a nod. She then grabbed her purse and made sure she had what she called her Survival Kit in it. She was used to weird situations, so she kept a few books of sigils to burn, a few little bottles of herbs, a note book, a few pens and pencils, 2 pencil sharpeners, 2 big erasers and a bunch of the pencil end ones, 2 pocket knives, a sharpening stone, and a few guitar picks. Along with that some earbuds and an extra phone charger.
"Hello," the man said with a slightly flat voice, "my name is Lance. I will be your tour guide this afternoon."
Kyoko huffed and crossed her arms. Was that really so hard to say to me?
"So whaddya guys think? Go off on our own or weird kinda creepy stiff tour guide? I say go off on our own. I bet this place is just chock FULL of secrets!" She played with her pansexual pride bracelet. "Who knows what we can find!"
Ava cocked her head to the side. "Guide? Is that included?" She asked, curious. Having a guide would be cool. He could point out all the cool stuff about the hotel and show them where everything was but she also kinda wanted to figure it out on her own.
Diara followed the girls out of the room. "Maybe," He signed. "I'm okay with whatever you two want to do." A tour guide could show them everything they need to know, but going on their own could be more fun. Diara just wanted to enjoy himself on the trip.
"Well, Diara's chill with whatever we decide…ya know. Everyone here is so smiley. Let's follow the Tour Guide, see if we can weed out a few secrets, get something. He seems creepy enough…okay. So. Since I am used to vain girls with an attitude, I'll go ask Kyoko to join us, is everyone cool with that?" She asked, looking around.
Ava nodded. "Guide and then if we don't like it we can sneak off." She said.
"Perfect." She headed over to Kyoko's room, pushing past the creepy guide whose smile leered at her. She knocked on the door. "Hello? Miss Kyoko? Hi yes I'm Evelyn, one of the other peeps on this trip. Uhm, a tour guide appeared at our door, inviting us all to go with him, and the group and I were wondering if you'd like to join us. We were also thinking of getting food and possibly hitting the arcade or the pool." She said with a sweet smile.
Kyoko's mouth parted slightly as she looked at the door next to them in shock, including the tour guide– Lance, who's broad smile had faltered.
She cleared her throat. "We can hear you. You do know that right?"
(^^^? Kyoko was already out of her room lol)
(We thought she was still in there, or at least i did) "We?" Evelyn questioned, and shrugged. "Well anyways, the offer still stands. You wanna come? We may not be as high prestige as you are but hey, things could be fun." She offered a smile and headed back towards the group, looking back at Kyoko.
"She probably won't come. Wouldn't want to sully herself with the presence of us," Diara signed. He leaned against a wall and waited for the group to make their decision.
Kyoko shrugged. "Whatever. I have nothing else to do anyways." She gave Lance, who stood awkwardly in front of her, a brief smile as she waited for the commoners to make their decision.
"Ah yes! Why should I, queen of perfection, put myself in the presence of such peasants?" Ava said as she dramatically put an arm across her forehead and struck a pose before laughing and heading up.
Her face twisted into a scowl. "You think you're so funny." She stood right outside their door, narrowing her eyes on the girl.
Diara laughed at Ava's imitation. "So are we going or not?" He put his hands in his pockets and went to stand by Evelyn.
Ava chuckled. "Just calling it as I see it." She said as she slipped out of the room, past Kyoko.
