Okay then!

Also, let me help you with those.

[Before the young boy can protest, Tooth has already taken some of his bags. She really did mean well, though. Tooth began to lead Seto towards the dorms.]

Say, Seto, did you know that the brightest students here have the brightest smiles? Flossing after every meal is very important hygienically and academically!

[delicateshimmer-blog]

And Seto was actually about to protest, but the older girl was so much faster than he was! He stood in momentary shock before picking up his other bags and running to catch up with her to walk to the dorms.

Flossing... When was the last time he'd flossed... "Really? I haven't flossed in forever!" He said, laughing a little. Luckily all his teeth had grown in straight and he'd never needed to get a cavity filled but... it was pure luck. He was horrible at remembering to brush and floss.

"I think my teeth are... okay, though!" Seto replied sheepishly.

Just call me Ginko.

{He didn’t like being addressed a “doctor” or “mister”, anyways. He holds out his hand to the younger boy.}

Nice to meet you, Seto.

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Ginko? Seto repeated the name a few times in his head to get it to stick. He'd been learning so many names lately that he could hardly keep up. He didn't want to mix anyone up, or forget them. He just hadn't ever met so many people!

He smiled at his hand, kind of unsure but figuring he probably meant it for a handshake and took his hand. "Nice to meet you! That was my first handshake!"

[kagurapping-blog]

{ she placed her hands onto her hips, tilting her head to the side. this guy was certainly dumb, she mentally concluded. } “Woah, you’re really clueless about everything, aren’t you, aru? Welp!” { kagura lessened the distance between them both, skipping to his side and giving him a firm pat on the back. }

“It’s a good thing you’ve got Auntie Kagura to help you out!” { she stuck her hand into her jacket pocket and took out a small, rectangular box with green strips sticking out of the opened top. } “This is sukonbu! It’s pickled seaweed basically and it’s the best thing in the world. Wanna try, aru?” 

[delicateshimmer-blog]

He was a little startled by the pat on the back and instinctively jumped a little in response. But, yeah... he pretty much was hopeless around people. There weren't many people in his old town. A traveling merchant came by from time to time, but Seto was almost a hundred percent sure the man was insane, so talking to him hadn't broadened his horizons much.

Wait -- Auntie Kagura? This girl was so strange, but at least she'd calmed down and stopped taking about weird stuff... He stared at the green stuff and kind of scrunched up his face. Looked like something his grandpa would eat. "What does it... taste like?" He said, continuing to eye it cautiously. 

[crowmodachi-blog]

.01 } totally lame!! ( OP! )

“Huuuuh?”

[ one, two, three blinks- followed by a childish scowl. crow folds his arms in a disapproving manner, cat-like eyes taking in his new surroundings with an unimpressed shimmer. the halls were clean, yes, but empty. boring. nothing stood out and not one of the faces that passed by were anything he could regard as interesting.

with such an outlook, he wasn’t above complaining outwardly about his disenchantment with the situation..]

“Hmph. What’s with you losers? You’re so boring.. There’s no way you all actually hide behind desks ‘til you have to sleep. Where’s the fun in that?”

[delicateshimmer-blog]

He was late! Despite having been helped earlier by Tooth to find his classroom... he'd completely forgotten where it was already. Ah, going to real school sure was a bit of a headache after years of homeschooling with his grandpa! At least there he never got lost, because there was only one room to go to! But he wanted to make a good impression on the teachers and other students so being late was just embarrassing.

It seemed he had a bit of luck because the teacher in the class hadn't actually shown up yet, so he kind of just hobbled in, out of breath from running down the hall. And he managed to hear what the black haired boy had just said, kind of frowning at the mean words. 

"No one is boring for wanting to learn!" He huffed as he walked past.

[flossaftereverymeal-blog]

[As they shook hands, Tooth’s bracelets jingled together. She peers over at his map, and gives a nod. She points a manicured finger at a certain spot of the map.]

Let’s see…right now, we’re here.

And your classes….are here…and here. And the dorms are here.

[Tooth’s finger moves to the right places, pin pointing each room for the boy.]

It looks like the dorms are closer! Do you want to drop off your stuff first?

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Woah, she had a lot of accessories! Not that he was that free of clutter himself. He'd leave most of it in his room, though... aside from his locket. He had to keep that safe!

"O - Oh!" He noted, looking at the map and nodding, sort of understanding. "I guess dropping off my stuff would be easiest to do first. It's kinda heavy."

Not a problem, uh…sorry, your name is..?

{ Usually he got a call or something before a student came into his office so he could prepare. However, this time he hadn’t, and forgot to ask for the boy’s name. }

[delicateshimmer-blog]

"Oh! It's Seto.." He didn't even think to realize that the nurse was asking so he could take down his information like he was supposed to; he thought the man was just being friendly and making conversation! "What's your name?" He asked, his legs swinging back and forth carelessly while he sat in the chair.

[kagurapping-blog]

“Hey, hey! It’s rude to walk away from a conversation so abruptly, ‘specially with a girl, aru!” { she was sure guys liked talking about *BEEP* ; why would they display those magazines in the open if guys didn’t like to think about their *BEEP* ? }

“That was mean.” { a couple of unconvincing sniffs and crocodile tears, before reverting back to how she once was momentarily. } Now I need compensation! Buy me some sukonbu, aru!”

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Oh no... had he made her cry? But he didn't think he was being mean, after all she was just being kind of weird! And saying a lot of things that made him really uncomfortable... he didn't even know the meaning behind half the things she was saying. But, he held his hands in front of his face, waving them around nervously. "S  - Sorry I didn't mean it like that I just --" He blinked, confused again. "What's sukonbu?"

He didn't actually have a lot of pocket money so...

[kagurapping-blog]

{ now she’s the confused one. } “Eeh, you don’t know what a wet dream is, aru? Don’t you have a *BEEP* ? I remember anego saying that all men think with their *BEEP* and if you think with your *BEEP* then you must dream with your *BEEP*.”

{ what he didn’t know what otaku meant either? was this guy brain-dead? } “Uhh, did you accidentally fall out of tree head first on the way here?”

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Seto just stared at her for a long time, mouth hanging open in shock at the girl's words. Had she really just ---? "Uhm..." His eyes darted around nervously. "L - Look at the time, I have to go!" 

[delicateshimmer-blog]

[flossaftereverymeal-blog]

You did? I’m a member too!

[She replies rather excitedly, giggling a bit.]

It’s always wonderful to learn new things. Anyways, I can help you find your classes and your dorm if you wish. What are their room numbers?

Oh! Right!

[Tooth had gotten ahead of herself! She offers her hand to the younger boy.]

I’m Toothiana. It’s a pleasure!

[delicateshimmer-blog]

"Really?" Well, at least now he'd know some one in the club! He'd been nervous about how he might fit in with them. "That's so cool!"

Room numbers? He fished out a paper form his pocket and unfolded it awkwardly, trying to keep hold of his map. "This is my schedule so..." He pointed to the class numbers and then looked hopelessly at the map. This place was just like a maze.

Oh, right. He hadn't introduced himself, either! He shifted the papers to one hand and then shook hers. "It's nice to meet you! I'm Seto!"

{  Ginko had to try his best not to laugh too. The poor kid seemed pretty embarrassed, so Ginko just nodded and flashed a small grin.  }

I see. Accidents happen, but try to be more careful next time.

Also, there’s a restroom in the back. You’re free to use it.

{ Ginko points towards the back of the infirmary.  }

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Thank god, a bathroom! He was afraid he might pee his pants just sitting there. He'd even had his legs crossed. He smiled at him before jumping out of his seat and running to the bathroom.

A few minutes later he came out and let out a small sigh. "Thank you!" Seto seated himself back in his chair. "I'm usually pretty careful it was just an emergency... But I think the bleeding's almost stopped!"

[Tooth smiled back politely, but silently took inventory of this boy’s dental care. It was….medicore. Tooth had the tools to fix that, though. She’d certainly give this young student an earful about dental health at one point or another. But first, she needed to help him find his classes.]

The garden is lovely, isn’t it?

Anyways, which classes do you need help finding? 

[delicateshimmer-blog]

When he lived with his grandpa he was told to brush twice a day, as well as floss but... he was a young boy, and quite often that wasn't the top on his list of priorities. But, he'd never had a cavity, he thought, so he didn't worry much about the health of his teeth.

"Yeah! I joined the garden club but... I don't know much about flowers. I just thought they were pretty." He laughed, glancing out the window at the garden he'd just been in. 

"Oh yeah, uhm... Just, my botany class and my math class now. Then I wanna get to my dorm to unpack so my roommates don't think I'm messy..."

{Ginko looks up from his work, greeted to the sight of a young boy with blood stained tissues shoved up his nose. He rises from his seat, giving a small nod to the boy. Ginko had seen cases like this before, and students always seemed embarrassed by it.}

Right. Go ahead and take a seat, I’ll get you some clean tissues and a wet towel to put around your neck.

{ The white haired male prepared the items he mentioned, along with the small garbage can for the boy to put his used tissues. He tried to hold it at an angle so he wouldn’t notice the cigarette. Carefully, he put the towel around the boy’s neck, and as the student took inventory of the dirty tissues, Ginko decided to make small talk to help the kid’s nerves. }

Do you usually get bloody noses during class?

[delicateshimmer-blog]

He nodded quickly, doing as he was told and sitting down while the nurse got all the things. To be honest, he'd only had a bloody nose once before, and it was because he was chasing a cat and he'd fallen down flat on his face. His grandpa had just laughed, shoved tissue up his nose and made him read a book until it stopped. It wasn't like he could have gone to the doctor over a bloody nose, or anything really, because the closest doctor then was like, an entire day away.

After being given the tissues he smiled warmly up at him as a thank you and pulled the current tissues out of his nose, replacing them with fresh ones and throwing the dirty ones away. Luckily for the nurse, Seto didn't even know what a cigarette was. 

"Well, no! Not really... I mean this was just because..." Well he didn't want to lie exactly, but it was embarrassing enough that all the kids in his class had seen. His teacher had even stifled a laugh. But, lying was wrong... "I just really had to pee and I ran into the door..." He looked down, cheeks red.

[Tooth walked gracefully down the hallways, content that she had finally adjusted to this new campus. It was her senior year, after all—she had to have all together in order to aid underclassmen! She stopped by her locker to exchange some notebooks for floss—-it was her free period after all, so there was no need for class supplies. However, dental health didn’t have a free period!

She passes out the floss to each unfortunate student to cross her path—some take it with a confused thank you, others grimace, but it’s nothing Tooth isn’t used to. It was like that at Kingswood too. She just wanted to help people! Why couldn’t they see that?

Speaking of helping people, Tooth notices the young boy holding his map upside down. She smiles brightly, knowing that she’d be able to help him. Maybe Tooth could offer some dental care advice, too! Bright students had bright smiles—-that should be her motto.

Her jewelry jingles with each step, so he can probably hear her coming. Tooth really did love children—well, the young male in front of her wasn’t exactly a child, but she could tell he was probably a freshman.]

Hello!

[She chirps a greeting at him.]

Are you lost?

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Seto jumped when he heard the girl's voice behind him, spinning around quickly to look at her. He hoped she hadn't seen him holding the map upside down... That would be way too embarrassing! Quickly smiling, he glanced from her to his map and let out a small laugh. "A little..." He admitted.

At least, she looked older, and she could probably help him. Then again, didn't girls just begin this school too? Well, she was probably smarter than him anyways. "I was just trying to find my classes, but I got sidetracked looking at the garden and then I got completely lost..." 

[kagurapping-blog]

“An otaku’s wet dream come true.” { she flicks her fingers clean of any nose pickings. } 

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Even more confused... "Otaku? Wet dream? I don't think I understand really..."

{ Ginko had just finished cleaning and re organizing his office. To celebrate, he decided to treat himself to a cigarette. It was technically against school rules to smoke inside the building—-but he was always able to bend the rules by just keeping the door open and drawing smoke towards the outside. Things had been slow lately anyways. Sports hadn’t started yet, and that’s when he got most of his patients. There was the also the occasional chemistry experiment gone wrong, but other than that, Ginko kept to himself most of the time.

He hears footsteps in the hallway, uttering a small “shit” as he puts out the cigarette and dumps it into the nearest garbage can. He decides to leave the door open—he really hoped whoever had decided to visit him wasn’t allergic to cigarette smoke.

Ginko decides to grab some paper work and sit as his desk so he looks like he’s working. He did have some stuff to do as student council supervisor, after all. He occupies himself with the work and he hears the footsteps stop at his doorway. Ginko waits for the person to speak up, but they don’t. After a few minutes, he decides to, without looking away from his papers.}

You can come in. I don’t bite.

[delicateshimmer-blog]

It was a stupid reason why he had to leave his class to go all the way to the nurse. He'd actually gotten up to go to the bathroom, but he'd been in his own little world and had just... kind of ran straight into the door. Seto's nose was bleeding and his butt hurt a little from the fall. The teacher gave him a bunch of tissues and made him run to the nurse. But he really still had to pee... 

He didn't have too much trouble finding the nurse's office, and peeked his head in shyly. The nurse was nothing what he expected. At home, his grandpa always took care of him but... this was totally not what he was expecting. Embarrassingly enough, the man seemed to know he was there and that made Seto jump and let out a nervous laugh as he stepped through the door.

There were bloody tissues stuck up each sides of his nose. Talking, with his nose plugged like that, made him sound a.... little weird. "My nose started bleeding so the teacher sent me here..." He said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

[kagurapping-blog]

“…”

“Why is this school full of cosplayers, aru?”

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Tilts head curiously. "What's a cosplayer?"

[delicateshimmer-blog]

Confusion?? (open)

Seto was actually pretty excited! It was his first day at a new school... well, he'd never actually been to a real school before. He was home schooled by his grandpa his whole life. And now, he actually got to be around a lot of people! This was more people than he'd ever seen in his entire life. He'd already put his things into the dorms and now was on his way to explore the campus. However... his sense of direction was awful, and he soon found himself lost.

"Aw man..." He pouted to himself, looking hopelessly at the school map and accidentally holding it upside down. It took him a moment to realize it, and he looked around sheepishly to make sure no one had seen him make such a dumb mistake. Ah, if only he could find some one familiar with the campus to help him around...
