*you hear a rushing sound, it sounds like footsteps in a quick rush- your about to look up but then you fall down onto the floor*

AH! I’m so so so sorry! Please-gah! Please forgive me!

*a hand is held out to you to help you up*

-@a-letter-from-yuumi

(sorry this is supposed to take place In NRC halls- and yuumi is my TWST yuusona- ++ I don’t know how use asks on my yuusona rp account so I just do the dash and @ her)

"Oof-"

*Zorro lands face first onto the floor. See and this is why they didn't like walking down the middle of the hall, better to look like a weirdo and follow the walls like some crazy person than get ran into.*

"It's fine, this happens more often than you would think"

*Zorro reassured as they took the person's hand to stand up and brushed themself off before rubbing their nose a bit. Their poor nose was already messed up as is, if they kept falling face first like this it was gonna get worse at this rate. Zorro turns to look at the student who helped them up and doesn't recongize them. Which they expected but its rare to see a girl in NRC. Not that they haven't see them, the school was becoming more inclusive lately.*

"Oh! Are you a first year? I don't think I recognize you."

*Zorro asked taking their hand back, their curiosity overriding whatever social anxiety had been about to hit them. Zorro, like the dork they were, circled around her a couple times before stopping in front of her with their hands on their hips. They were kinda menacing, the lack of smile really didn't help but they did tilt their head to the side slightly which was kinda less menacing. Plus Zorro had both some weird ass rumors and sorta creepy ones circling around them.*

*The Ignihyde vice housewarden was. . . Odd. . . But it fit since a lot of Ignihyde's students were odd.*

//Mod:it's fine lol, if you yuu sona's blog is a side blog all you can do is @ her when you do asks. Most people do anon asks with the @ but you don't have to if you don't want lol. Welcome to the twst rp community!

[floyds-little-shrimp]

*yuumi’s shoulders immediately relaxed the moment she heard they weren’t upset. She let out the breath she’d been holding, pressing a hand to her chest.*

“O-Oh… thank goodness…”

*She offered a small, sheepish smile before giving a quick bow.*

“I really am sorry. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going…”

*As Zorro circled around her, Yuumi stood perfectly still, blinking in quiet confusion. She wasn’t exactly frightened… just unsure what they were looking for.*

“U-Um…”

*She nervously tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.*

“Y-Yes… I’m a first year.”

*After a tiny pause, she gave another polite bow.*

“My name is Yuumi Nakanaka. It’s… um… nice to meet you.”

*She hesitated before asking, her voice soft.*

“And… are you alright? I didn’t hurt your nose any more than it already was… did I?”

-@a-letter-from-yuumi

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"My name is Zorro Fasmon. I'm vice housewarden of Ignihyde!"

*Zorro said giving a smile as they crossed their arms in front of their torso*

"And I'm fine, My nose will live, its made it this far."

*Zorro gave a soft chuckle as they uncrossed their arms*

"Anyway You best be off to class, Nakanaka. Good Luck!"

*Zorro chimed before heading off, now sticking closer to the hall walls than they were previously.*

[floyds-little-shrimp]

*Yuumi blinked for a moment before quickly bowing once more, relief evident on her face.*

“I-I’m glad to hear that…”

*A small smile found its way onto her lips.*

“It was nice meeting you, Vice Housewarden Fasmon.”

*She gave a tiny wave as Zorro began walking away, noticing how they hugged the wall this time. She couldn’t help but let out the quietest giggle.*

“I’ll… try to watch where I’m going from now on.”

*With one last polite nod, Yuumi adjusted the strap of her bag before hurrying toward her own classroom, hoping her first day at Night Raven College wouldn’t involve knocking over anyone else.*

"What's cooking good lookin'-"

*goes to lean against something and completely misses before falling face first into the ground with an audible 'oof'.* *They don't move for a minute before just curling up in embarrassment. So much for smooth talking.*

@dorkestrabbitnerdaround

Oh.

that was.

….

am I good looking?….

I never thought so.

Are you okay?…

Ash kneels down next to the person, wanting to help them up but also afraid to do so.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"I'm fine, I just-. . . fumbled so badly just now its embarrassing. . ."

*They give a thumbs up but do not move from their curled up position, clearly wishing to be buried in a hole from embarrassment as they mumble to themself.*

"So much for smooth talking Zorro, you epic failure." *A nearby Ignihyde student sighs at his vice housewarden out of second hand embarrassment*

//Mod: Imagine watching your vice housewarden fumble, couldn't be me

[another-magicless-one]

Ash tilts their head. Fumbled? What was there to fumble?….. they weren’t something to fumble, much less even chase after.

You’re not a failure. I promise.

Ash gently puts a hand on his head and rubs it gently.

Oh wow, your hair is pretty soft. Thats nice. Besides, why would a failure have good hair and a pretty face?

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro looks up at Ash, bewildered before making an incoherent sound as their face turns bright red. Zorro was not used to be complimented let alone by someone so pretty. Zorro hide their face behind their hands, seemingly very giddy at the compliment but not knowing how to respond to it properly.*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash just smiles and sits down next to them. They grab hold of one of Zorro’s hands and hold it.

You okay? The fall didn’t hurt did it?

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"Y yeah. . . I'm good. . . just uhhh. . . Not hurt, im not hurt physically at least"

*Zorro stuttered out, normally they hated people touching them but right now they didn't mind so much. Ash didn't set of their icks, so they really had no idea what to do or what they were doing. Their mouth was just talking before their mind could catch up fully.* "I- uhhh- Do you want to go to the cat café at town?!"

*Zorro asked, clearing panicking by how their voice cracked and went up an octave at the ending of their sentence. Zorro internally cringed at the voice crack and started praying to whatever deity would listen to their fumbling atheist ass that they didn't fuck this up to badly.*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash blinks for a second, their mind processing it for a minute.

A cat cafe? I’ve never been to one. Sure, I’d like to go with you. Sounds nice.

A small blush on their cheeks came as they realized they were getting asked on a date, maybe, and holding hands with said person. Well, they did flirt at the beginning. Or did they? Maybe it was just a compliment! Yeah, probably just a compliment.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro nodded but was internally panicking. They had not thought this far ahead. They had NEVER taken someone on a date, let alone to a cat café! Why did they say cat café?! Like yes they knew one, it was their favorite spot ever but like they just could not stop fumbling now could they?!*

"So uhh, when are free??? The café I want to take you to is in a kinda niche part of town so it takes a bit to get there from NRC. But it's worth it I promise! We can get a coffee or something before we go hang out with all the cute kitties, and since its a small place without many people there at one time, we get unlimited time to pet the kitties!"

*Zorro was blabbing again, they either froze up or started blabbing when they got anxious or panicked. They were so glad they didn't freeze up but blabbing was nearly as bad. They didn't want to come off as weird. . . yet-*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash huffed a small laugh and looked at Zorro.

That sounds perfect, why are you asking me though? I’m sure there’s prettier people… or better people to hang out with rather than me-

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"Your. . . Your asking me why?"

*Why? WHY?! THEY WERE BEING ASKED WHY?! Zorro stared at Ash looking mildly offended on their behalf for saying/thinking such a thing. Mouth agape and brows furrowed impossibly close, like they had just heard the stupidest thing in their life*

"Because your pretty, and cool, and kind, and the kitchen staff tell me you bake and baking is so cool, and your just cool, shit I said that already, and I'm just a loser who just keep rambling- I'll shut up now. . ."

[another-magicless-one]

Ash lost half of what Zorro said after they said it. The only thing that caught their attention was that apparently they were talked about. A wall flower was just a wall flower. Pretty to look at, and easily replaced.

Oh, really? I didn’t know that. It’s kinda cute.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*'Cute?' Zorro couldn't tell if they were calling them cute because they thought their rambling was cute or because they gossiped with the kitchen staff- They would not tell Ash they gossiped with the kitchen staffs, half of Ignihyde already thought they were losing their shit at this point.*

"So- so when are you free to go to the cafe? I'm free whenever, you can just come to Ignihyde dorm and ask for me"

[another-magicless-one]

I’m free right now, if you don’t mind… I mean, it’s not like I’m even busy most days.

Ash gently trailed their hand across Zorro’s arm. It was more out of unconscious habit than anything.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro froze, face turning an even brighter red than before if that was even humanly possible. They knew better than to try and say anything, they'd just make incoherent sounds again and that might up the chances of them fumbling again, so they just nodded in agreement and pulled their phone out to pull of the cafe location.* "It's- ummm, It's this one-"

*Zorro stumbled over their words as they showed the phone to Ash. they had they had searched up the cafe location to show Ash, so they could look at the menu to make sure they could eat or drink something they liked at least.*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash looked at Zorro’s phone before moving right up next to them.

Can I see?

They wanted a closer look, even though they already had glasses, habit was hard to break. Plus, maybe there were a few picture to scroll through. Oh, and kitties!!! Kitties, oh the kitties. Every cat was a kitty to them.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro tensed slightly up before relaxing again, having been caught off guard than they start pointing at each cat picture and explaining little things about the cats they were familiar with.*

"This tabby here is Bandit, she only likes head scratches and will simply sit next to you. Than this one is Inku, this little kitty like scratches and hanging out with you but will totally smack you if they feel like it. Than this is Plushie, they love treats and playing."

*Zorro chattered on about the kitties as the two sat next to each other.*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash listened to everything Zorro said as they chatted, and once Zorro was done, they hummed and picked at their hang nails.

Sounds nice, I’d like to go. You seem to know a lot about the cats. Do you go there often?

Ash was settled right against Zorro, not minding the lack of space between them really.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"Oh Yeah! I got there every weekend, it my favorite off campus spot to go to. Gets me out of the dorm and away from vice housewarden duties."

*Zorro chuckled, a soft, barely there sound as they smiled. They had brighten up so much, seemingly less awkward and anxious getting to talk about the cats and the café. Zorro notices Ash picking at their nails and subconsciously takes one of their hands in their own to stop them as they keep chattering about the café and the cats, and the menu you guess*

"They have really good coffee at this café, if you ask their make it with milk instead of water, and the croissants are in house made and their SOOO buttery and delicious. Oh my sevens' you'll love them, I promise!"

[another-magicless-one]

Ash blushes slightly, nobody has ever well. Noticed the picking before. If they did, they mostly moved on and just let it happen. Plus, Zorro was rambling and now holding their hand and they were close together, honestly it was adorable.

I like croissants, and coffee. Seems like a great place to go to. I see why you like it. You’re a vice housewarden?

[firephoenix2020]

"Oh! Uh yeah, Sorry! I'm Zorro Fasmon, the vice housewarden of Ignihyde."

*Zorro said, finally introducing themself. They had totally forgotten to do so and it made them blush more from embarrassment on forgetting again. They really needed to get into the habit of introducing themself without having the other party introduce themself first. It was a bad habit at this point, and now Zorro was wonderinghw many people they had managed to talk to who didn't know who they were because of it. Zorro's thumb started rubbing small subconscious circles on the back of Ash's hand. A fidget they got when they felt embarrassed. They used their other hand, with their phone because their an idiot who forgot they were holding it, to rub the back of their neck before realizing they were still holding their phone and putting it in their lap before repeating the action without the phone this time.*

//Mod:Fuck wrong blog- whatever ill fix it next reblog

[another-magicless-one]

I’m Ash. Fasmon…. That’s a nice sounding last name. Your name is actually just really pretty too, Zorro. It’s nice.

Ash simply lays their body against Zorro’s side like a weighted blanket. It was a way they were trying to calm Zorro’s nerves. And maybe get a few “cute points” with them. Ash didn’t want a bad first impression.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"Ash is a pretty name too!"

*Zorro replied, their face felt so warm, they genuinely thought they might combust for a moment there. They picked their phone up from the their lap and tucked it back into one of their vest's inner pockets. Pockets they added themself because they had zero trust in the student body of this school and had added pockets the inner part of their vest for their phone, wallet, and magipen. Which they avoided letting anyone see their magipen since it was permanently stained black. What a charmer it was.*

*Zorro wasn't sure what to do next, They wish Idia was here to help but he had just sent them off to flirt with Ash on their own. What a great boyfriend he was, sending Zorro on their own to go 'rizz up' Ash, as he put it. If they didn't love him so much, they'd strangle him.*

"And-! Umm- i'm glad you like my name-?"

*Zorro said, trying, and failing, to sound confident in their respond. They still felt like they were fumbling but by the fact Ash leaned inot them and didn't leave, it was clear they weren't fumbling as badly as they thought they were. Idia would be proud.*

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*you hear a rushing sound, it sounds like footsteps in a quick rush- your about to look up but then you fall down onto the floor*

AH! I’m so so so sorry! Please-gah! Please forgive me!

*a hand is held out to you to help you up*

-@a-letter-from-yuumi

(sorry this is supposed to take place In NRC halls- and yuumi is my TWST yuusona- ++ I don’t know how use asks on my yuusona rp account so I just do the dash and @ her)

"Oof-"

*Zorro lands face first onto the floor. See and this is why they didn't like walking down the middle of the hall, better to look like a weirdo and follow the walls like some crazy person than get ran into.*

"It's fine, this happens more often than you would think"

*Zorro reassured as they took the person's hand to stand up and brushed themself off before rubbing their nose a bit. Their poor nose was already messed up as is, if they kept falling face first like this it was gonna get worse at this rate. Zorro turns to look at the student who helped them up and doesn't recongize them. Which they expected but its rare to see a girl in NRC. Not that they haven't see them, the school was becoming more inclusive lately.*

"Oh! Are you a first year? I don't think I recognize you."

*Zorro asked taking their hand back, their curiosity overriding whatever social anxiety had been about to hit them. Zorro, like the dork they were, circled around her a couple times before stopping in front of her with their hands on their hips. They were kinda menacing, the lack of smile really didn't help but they did tilt their head to the side slightly which was kinda less menacing. Plus Zorro had both some weird ass rumors and sorta creepy ones circling around them.*

*The Ignihyde vice housewarden was. . . Odd. . . But it fit since a lot of Ignihyde's students were odd.*

Ash looked at Zorro’s phone before moving right up next to them.

Can I see?

They wanted a closer look, even though they already had glasses, habit was hard to break. Plus, maybe there were a few picture to scroll through. Oh, and kitties!!! Kitties, oh the kitties. Every cat was a kitty to them.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro tensed slightly up before relaxing again, having been caught off guard than they start pointing at each cat picture and explaining little things about the cats they were familiar with.*

"This tabby here is Bandit, she only likes head scratches and will simply sit next to you. Than this one is Inku, this little kitty like scratches and hanging out with you but will totally smack you if they feel like it. Than this is Plushie, they love treats and playing."

*Zorro chattered on about the kitties as the two sat next to each other.*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash listened to everything Zorro said as they chatted, and once Zorro was done, they hummed and picked at their hang nails.

Sounds nice, I’d like to go. You seem to know a lot about the cats. Do you go there often?

Ash was settled right against Zorro, not minding the lack of space between them really.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"Oh Yeah! I got there every weekend, it my favorite off campus spot to go to. Gets me out of the dorm and away from vice housewarden duties."

*Zorro chuckled, a soft, barely there sound as they smiled. They had brighten up so much, seemingly less awkward and anxious getting to talk about the cats and the café. Zorro notices Ash picking at their nails and subconsciously takes one of their hands in their own to stop them as they keep chattering about the café and the cats, and the menu you guess*

"They have really good coffee at this café, if you ask their make it with milk instead of water, and the croissants are in house made and their SOOO buttery and delicious. Oh my sevens' you'll love them, I promise!"

[another-magicless-one]

*Slides up next to you*

"What's cooking good lookin'-"

*goes to lean against something and completely misses before falling face first into the ground with an audible 'oof'.* *They don't move for a minute before just curling up in embarrassment. So much for smooth talking.*

@dorkestrabbitnerdaround

Oh.

that was.

….

am I good looking?….

I never thought so.

Are you okay?…

Ash kneels down next to the person, wanting to help them up but also afraid to do so.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"I'm fine, I just-. . . fumbled so badly just now its embarrassing. . ."

*They give a thumbs up but do not move from their curled up position, clearly wishing to be buried in a hole from embarrassment as they mumble to themself.*

"So much for smooth talking Zorro, you epic failure." *A nearby Ignihyde student sighs at his vice housewarden out of second hand embarrassment*

//Mod: Imagine watching your vice housewarden fumble, couldn't be me

[another-magicless-one]

Ash tilts their head. Fumbled? What was there to fumble?….. they weren’t something to fumble, much less even chase after.

You’re not a failure. I promise.

Ash gently puts a hand on his head and rubs it gently.

Oh wow, your hair is pretty soft. Thats nice. Besides, why would a failure have good hair and a pretty face?

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro looks up at Ash, bewildered before making an incoherent sound as their face turns bright red. Zorro was not used to be complimented let alone by someone so pretty. Zorro hide their face behind their hands, seemingly very giddy at the compliment but not knowing how to respond to it properly.*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash just smiles and sits down next to them. They grab hold of one of Zorro’s hands and hold it.

You okay? The fall didn’t hurt did it?

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"Y yeah. . . I'm good. . . just uhhh. . . Not hurt, im not hurt physically at least"

*Zorro stuttered out, normally they hated people touching them but right now they didn't mind so much. Ash didn't set of their icks, so they really had no idea what to do or what they were doing. Their mouth was just talking before their mind could catch up fully.* "I- uhhh- Do you want to go to the cat café at town?!"

*Zorro asked, clearing panicking by how their voice cracked and went up an octave at the ending of their sentence. Zorro internally cringed at the voice crack and started praying to whatever deity would listen to their fumbling atheist ass that they didn't fuck this up to badly.*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash blinks for a second, their mind processing it for a minute.

A cat cafe? I’ve never been to one. Sure, I’d like to go with you. Sounds nice.

A small blush on their cheeks came as they realized they were getting asked on a date, maybe, and holding hands with said person. Well, they did flirt at the beginning. Or did they? Maybe it was just a compliment! Yeah, probably just a compliment.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro nodded but was internally panicking. They had not thought this far ahead. They had NEVER taken someone on a date, let alone to a cat café! Why did they say cat café?! Like yes they knew one, it was their favorite spot ever but like they just could not stop fumbling now could they?!*

"So uhh, when are free??? The café I want to take you to is in a kinda niche part of town so it takes a bit to get there from NRC. But it's worth it I promise! We can get a coffee or something before we go hang out with all the cute kitties, and since its a small place without many people there at one time, we get unlimited time to pet the kitties!"

*Zorro was blabbing again, they either froze up or started blabbing when they got anxious or panicked. They were so glad they didn't freeze up but blabbing was nearly as bad. They didn't want to come off as weird. . . yet-*

[another-magicless-one]

Ash huffed a small laugh and looked at Zorro.

That sounds perfect, why are you asking me though? I’m sure there’s prettier people… or better people to hang out with rather than me-

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

"Your. . . Your asking me why?"

*Why? WHY?! THEY WERE BEING ASKED WHY?! Zorro stared at Ash looking mildly offended on their behalf for saying/thinking such a thing. Mouth agape and brows furrowed impossibly close, like they had just heard the stupidest thing in their life*

"Because your pretty, and cool, and kind, and the kitchen staff tell me you bake and baking is so cool, and your just cool, shit I said that already, and I'm just a loser who just keep rambling- I'll shut up now. . ."

[another-magicless-one]

Ash lost half of what Zorro said after they said it. The only thing that caught their attention was that apparently they were talked about. A wall flower was just a wall flower. Pretty to look at, and easily replaced.

Oh, really? I didn’t know that. It’s kinda cute.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*'Cute?' Zorro couldn't tell if they were calling them cute because they thought their rambling was cute or because they gossiped with the kitchen staff- They would not tell Ash they gossiped with the kitchen staffs, half of Ignihyde already thought they were losing their shit at this point.*

"So- so when are you free to go to the cafe? I'm free whenever, you can just come to Ignihyde dorm and ask for me"

[another-magicless-one]

I’m free right now, if you don’t mind… I mean, it’s not like I’m even busy most days.

Ash gently trailed their hand across Zorro’s arm. It was more out of unconscious habit than anything.

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro froze, face turning an even brighter red than before if that was even humanly possible. They knew better than to try and say anything, they'd just make incoherent sounds again and that might up the chances of them fumbling again, so they just nodded in agreement and pulled their phone out to pull of the cafe location.* "It's- ummm, It's this one-"

*Zorro stumbled over their words as they showed the phone to Ash. they had they had searched up the cafe location to show Ash, so they could look at the menu to make sure they could eat or drink something they liked at least.*

*Zorro stuttered out, normally they hated people touching them but right now they didn't mind so much. Ash didn't set of their icks, so they really had no idea what to do or what they were doing. Their mouth was just talking before their mind could catch up fully.* "I- uhhh- Do you want to go to the cat café at town?!"

*Zorro asked, clearing panicking by how their voice cracked and went up an octave at the ending of their sentence. Zorro internally cringed at the voice crack and started praying to whatever deity would listen to their fumbling atheist ass that they didn't fuck this up to badly.*

*goes to lean against something and completely misses before falling face first into the ground with an audible 'oof'.* *They don't move for a minute before just curling up in embarrassment. So much for smooth talking.*

@dorkestrabbitnerdaround

Ash kneels down next to the person, wanting to help them up but also afraid to do so.

"I'm fine, I just-. . . fumbled so badly just now its embarrassing. . ."

*They give a thumbs up but do not move from their curled up position, clearly wishing to be buried in a hole from embarrassment as they mumble to themself.*

"So much for smooth talking Zorro, you epic failure." *A nearby Ignihyde student sighs at his vice housewarden out of second hand embarrassment*

Ash tilts their head. Fumbled? What was there to fumble?….. they weren’t something to fumble, much less even chase after.

You’re not a failure. I promise.

Ash gently puts a hand on his head and rubs it gently.

Oh wow, your hair is pretty soft. Thats nice. Besides, why would a failure have good hair and a pretty face?

[dorkestrabbitnerdaround]

*Zorro looks up at Ash, bewildered before making an incoherent sound as their face turns bright red. Zorro was not used to be complimented let alone by someone so pretty. Zorro hide their face behind their hands, seemingly very giddy at the compliment but not knowing how to respond to it properly.*
