Continuously, Madoka would look back and forth between the cat and her fellow students. She couldn’t let it out of her sight, but yet she needed to make sure at least someone was going to try and help. The only solution she had on her own was waiting for the cat to fall and catching it, but she did not find that one favorable at all. She looked up at the cat and sighed, trying to be reassuring.

“You’ll be okay, I promise.”

However, when she turned around she was met with the eyes of a human, fancy that! Her heart beat faster in excitement because the chances of everything being okay had definitely sky rocketed. Although there wasn’t much time for it, she glanced over her newfound savior. It was a student with hair just like hers, except this girl seemed way cooler! And older. The other girl was tall and elegant and beautiful, like the kind of person Madoka wished she could be. Overall, she gave off a cool air to her and it made it seem like everything would be alright because she could save the day. She was very much so different from Madoka, to say the least.

The younger rosette shook her head, trying to let her upperclassman know the problem wasn’t about her. There were way more important things than her, especially this cat!

“I’m fine! It’s just… that cat! It’s stuck! I’m really worried for it!”

It seemed she got the message because quickly she was up on the tree. Wow, how did she move like that? She must be on a sports team, Madoka thought, but even so her movements were just… beautiful on their own. A slight gasp escaped her and she blushed, but watching this girl in action was breathtaking, after all. Her first thoughts were right. She was cool, and more than that! She was amazing! In fact, there wasn’t quite a word for her that would describe her. Everything she did, she made it look so easy, and she did it while still keeping up that way cool composure! Gosh, was Madoka jealous of her.

It wasn’t long before her upperclassman was done with this mini mission and Madoka gave her a smile once she reached ground again. She was a savior. The way she saved that cat and how quickly she did it… there was no denying it. And she even seemed to be good with animals! What couldn’t she do was the real question!

“Thank you so much! That was incredible!”

Buuut the girl was wrong on one thing. Shaking her head again, she quickly corrected the other. Maybe she shouldn’t have made such a big deal over a cat that wasn’t hers. It made sense to think it would be hers, but actually she would worry about anyone in danger. That was how things were supposed to be, right? She thought the other girl would agree with her, but she couldn’t be sure.

“No, I saw it needed help, and well, I got really worried! I’m sorry to trouble you, though. I wish it was mine, but I don’t know the school’s policy on pets, to be honest.”

Madoka tilted her head, smiling just the tiniest bit guiltily. After all, she had almost called 911 on a problem this small! What was that saying? Making mountains out of molehills? Yeah, she had done that. Whoops! But, at least, the cat was safe. That was more than okay for her and she could live with the embarrassment of freaking out over it. Oh, and, she might make a new friend out of this strange event! Of course, she should introduce herself first. Cool girls like her probably valued manners and respect a lot!

“I forgot to introduce myself! I’m Madoka Kaname! It’s really nice to meet you, Miss..?”

She stopped midway, hoping the other would tell her her name. It was kinda awkward to have to address someone as that cool girl all the time, you know.

[handsomeutena-blog]

Still a bit disheveled from the leap down, she returned tousled vibrant pink strands to their proper place. It had been a while since she had done anything like that, although she might not have shown it. Certainly it was time to get back into gear.

"It was no problem, really. Always happy to help!" Her lips turned up into a sheepish grin, abashed from the smaller girl's praise. Utena ran on the satisfaction of a job well done and a maiden's smile. That's what being a prince was all about, really. Crowns and nobility, looks and charm, all that was important too. But a strong sense of justice, a want to help others, was most important!

Utena returned her attention to the cat, making sure once again it was settled down.  "No trouble at all. Completely worth it," she said gently, taken with the soft features of the kitten. It surprised her how easily it complied with her requests. Never was she so good with animals. That was all Anthy. Unless Chu Chu back at home counted, but he acted more like a little person than a mouse. 

"Madoka, huh? It's nice to meet you too! Call me Utena. I'd shake your hand but," she laughed briefly, nodding in the direction of the tiny creature nestling in her arms. "We'd better figure out what to do with this little guy." Or girl, she wasn't quite sure. Already the kitten had taken to her, dozing off and purring faintly. It really was cute. It'd be a shame if the school made them get rid of it. "Should we take 'em to the office?" If things went their way, quite possibly Madoka would go home with a little friend.

the prince has arrived! ♔ //open

[mickeyaih-blog]

[ Micaiah wasn’t so used to downtime, but so far her classes were easy (at least for now) so she managed to get most of her work done. Right now, she was underneath a tree with a book in her lap, taking a sip of her bottled water ever now and then. The maiden wasn’t used to heat like this and it made her feel rather sleepy.

She had thought about going back to her dorm to rest but the day was so nice out that she didn’t want to waste it all by sitting inside, but she didn’t really know anyone to ‘hang out’ with, so she decided to spend it by people watching. Occasionally, she would read her book so she didn’t weird anyone out by just staring.

“Ah, excuse me? Could you show me where the dorms are?”

[ Her golden hues were now staring at a girl who approached her. She placed a smile on her face and packed her book and water bottle away before grabbing said backpack and standing up. ]

The dorms? Yes, I can show you where they are! What dorm are you in?

[handsomeutena-blog]

Utena, greatly relieved, released breath she hadn't realized she was holding. Thank goodness she wasn't angry. She appeared to be a genial girl, sitting here under a tree and reading. Her warm aura kind of reminded her of Anthy. Maybe she gardened and loved animals, too. Although, perhaps that much of a resemblance might be too strange. 

"Thank you, you're a life saver!" Utena exclaimed, flashing the girl an amicable smile. She was forever indebted to her kind response. "My name's Utena Tenjou. I'm in F-1."

the prince has arrived! ♔ //open

[sabre-of-grey-blog]

Though he thought that perchance an exploration around the academy would have proved fruitful, or at least fun, Grey was sorely mistaken. He had yet to find his way around to the dorms, though he suspected that they would be adjacent with the school’s buildings. However despite this train of thought, he couldn’t bring himself to search any longer. So gradually he had made his way from the busying students and teachers alike, brow furrowed as he weaved through the thick crowds, honestly — how many students had enrolled here? It was odd, come to think of it, the kinds of staff and student body he was coming across since his arrival. 

Oh, speak of the devil. Before he had realized it, much to his dismay seeing as he should have been paying more attention, he found himself greeted by a presence. Bright hues set upon his visitor and her outstanding locks of pink, almost becoming so distracted by them that he hadn’t heard her question. Almost being the keyword as he did in fact hear her, though he was abashed to admit his lack of knowledge on the subject. 

“They’re around here somewhere, right? I already tried but —” An idea occurred and Charles Grey suddenly cut himself short, abruptly standing from where he was to face the enigmatic other, perhaps he should have gotten a name but such a simple thought was cast far off from his erratic mind. Perhaps it was due to the familiarity of having a partner but Grey felt that with this second set of eyes, then maybe it would be far easier a feat to find the dorms. After all, they couldn’t be that hard to find, could they? “Hey! If I help you, out will you help me out? I still need to find the dorms for the boys and I really have no idea where to look—”

[handsomeutena-blog]

The boy turned around and Utena was met with an unfamiliar face and striking silver locks. If she had seen him before, there was no doubt she would have remembered. 

It was both comforting and disheartening that the boy was in the same boat as she. Utena placed a delicate finger on her lips in thought. Among the buildings, she couldn't recall whether she'd seen the boys' dorm or not. With her eye trained on the girls', she might have very well passed it without noticing. Already morose from her unproductive search, she was reluctant to begin another. She nodded in agreement; however, seeing as it would only be fair. A prince's job never ended.

When she finally spoke, it was a simple, "Deal." It hadn't taken much mulling over to come up with her answer. To help others was more than an obligation as a prince. Undeniably, she took pleasure from it. And to seal the deal, more because it seemed fitting than anything else, she held out her hand for him to shake.

Students and teachers? My, what do they need from the Drama Teacher as she was sitting in her classroom, reading a book. Red eyes glanced over as she put on a simple smile. “Welcome, I don’t think my prep period has a class.” The beauty greeted calmly before going back to her book. She twirled her hair between her fingers and continued to read while waiting. 

[handsomeutena-blog]

Utena glanced around the classroom, certain this wasn't where she was supposed to be.

"Hello, miss!" Hurriedly, she made her way to the teacher's desk. She looked like she was doing something and whoa, was she pretty.

"Heh. Actually, I don't think I'm in your class. I'm a little lost." Her mouth twisted into a small frown, feeling guilty interrupting the woman's reading." Sorry to trouble you, but could you tell me where I am exactly?"

Advice For a Dollar! - Open

It’s that time of day again! Mechazawa has been dragging his little red wagon everywhere around campus. He has been planning on doing this since he got accepted to this school. Eventually, Mechazawa found the perfect spot right in front of the student dorms, everyone would be able to see now!

The tired student stopped walking and took out his equipment. The wooden stand that stood about 5 feet tall was gently placed onto the ground in front of a stool. Mechazawa took a step on the stool and smiled at the puzzled passers-by.

He then took a sign from his wagon and a jar. After putting it on the stand, he clasped his hands together. While waiting for someone to come by, Mechazawa stood proudly, hoping he’d look approachable behind his new advice stand.

“One dollar, and I’ll help you with any problem!” He grinned.

[handsomeutena-blog]

In the distance, Utena spotted someone putting up a stand and thought it strange, out here in the middle of the campus. Maybe it was a lemonade stand, Boy, that'd be convenient. Being princely and such sure made her thirsty. Gathering the little money she had, she headed over to the stand.

Upon arrival, she was a bit disappointed to read the sign that said advice rather than lemonade. However, she might as well make use of this valuable source of help. 

"Hey there!"

"Advice, huh?" Could he help her? She might as well spill it. "I always study. I do my homework and pay attention, too." Maybe she was stretching the truth a little. Just a little. As she spoke the next sentence, she appeared crestfallen. "But my grades aren't so good. What should I do?"

the prince has arrived! ♔ //open

Alright. She was here. What princesses needed saving today? Utena stood in front of the school, hands on her hips and a determined look on her face. She wore the boy's uniform, rather than the girl's (she made a little adjustment to the pants and hopefully that wouldn't cause a problem), and wore it proud. She would start a new life at Tancho Academy and was determined to improve her grades! And if not, maybe make a few smart friends...

But first, she had to get settled down. Maybe a tour? That'd be nice. Or where the dorms were, for starters. Utena scanned the exterior of the school, searching for some sort of sign to lead her in the right direction. However, that method proved to be useless quickly, as she couldn't spot a single sign. Ruefully, she began trekking the campus of Tancho Academy, her only suitcase in hand. 

While the school was certainly quite a marvel with its variety of students, it was nothing Utena gawked at. Her previous school could have been mistaken for a small city. But this was a normal school. No secret passages leading to arenas. No dueling for power to revolutionize the world. She took in a deep breath. Just a normal school. 

Nearby, there was a patch of trees and Utena stopped to rest against one. It hadn't been long since she began walking but the harsh rays of the sun made all the difference. A few trees down, Utena spotted another student with about the same idea. The other students she had passed were all doing something, talking, studying, and she hated to interrupt. While this one... wasn't doing anything. Utena made use of this situation and headed over. She lightly tapped on the shoulder of the stranger, careful not to surprise them.

"Ah, excuse me? Could you show me where the dorms are?"

In between the bustling of classes, there was always that time spent walking from building to building. Any student was familiar with the routine of sometimes even trudging from the opposite end to get to a class in time. It was tedious, but quite necessary, and of course, Madoka was no stranger herself to it. Actually, scratch that, she wish she could say that. Surely, all the other students could, but she was used to the typical Japanese system, where teachers were the ones doing the rotating. However, with the way electives and main courses were, that would be impossible. The only thing that was really similar was the homeroom! Still, she did have to walk a lot and as tiring as it was, the rosette wasn’t going to allow it to get her down.

Everyday, she tried to find something good about her walks, be it the chirping birds or the source of exercise. That way she wasn’t getting all gloomy and grumpy before her classes! Today her point of interest was the flora of the campus and she took great care to look at every piece of greenery she passed. The trees were particularly pretty today, she thought, but soon her attention was drawn to the even more beautiful flowers. She stopped, knowing a few seconds wouldn’t hurt her in terms of getting to class. Madoka breathed in the fresh air, taking a moment just to appreciate all of the stuff that surrounded her. Sometimes, you didn’t realize how lucky you were, right? Well, she wanted to acknowledge that, for sure.

A sound interrupted her quiet thoughts, causing her to look up suddenly. What was it? Was someone nearby? No, it was high pitched so… Oh, there it was again! It was coming from above so she thought it wise to look up. When she did look up, she saw a small black cat stuck in the tree. The sounds were its meows for help! Gosh, this was horrible, that little cat stuck all alone. She looked around, hoping maybe other students would notice the predicament. However, no one else seemed to care about the problem that usually would be left to a bored fireman. Even though it wasn’t that big of a deal, she felt horrible and knew if she left this cat alone she would feel extremely guilty. She had to help it, no matter what!

Madoka turned around, trying to grab the attention of someone. This would be embarrassing, surely, but she had to help this cat!

“I-um! This cat needs help! … Can someone help? Please!”

[handsomeutena-blog]

Once again, Utena found herself lost among the masses of students as she was heading towards her next class. It was strange, really, how often she found herself disoriented in the school. At her school before, while much larger than this, she could easily navigate around with her eyes closed. Utena needed a breather from the chaos of the halls. She squirmed her way through the herd and redirected herself to the patch of garden outside.  

She'd be late to class. No matter, she decided, setting down her bag on a nearby bench. If she went she'd have fallen asleep and missed the lesson anyway. She took a seat next to her bag and closed her eyes. A little nap never hurt anyone...

The tranquility of her dozing was shattered by the desperate cries of a girl. She snapped to attention, scouring the area with her eyes to find the source of the voice. There she saw a young girl, staring up at a tree with a look of terror spread across her face. Utena sprang from her seat and raced over to the fellow pinkette.

"Are you alright, miss?" She asked, anxiously, before turning her eyes to where the girl's own were fixated. Clinging to a branch above them was a cat, mewling in desperation. Without hesitation, Utena jumped and grabbed onto the nearest branch, raising herself onto it. With precision, she stood and hooked onto the next one. It was an easy task for Utena. Her athletic skills were remarkable and jumping from branch to branch was a cinch. Before long, the kitten was in reach. Gently, she coaxed the frightened creature into her arms and made her way back to the ground, this time with much more care.

Utena cradled the feline in her arms, softly petting the top of its head to calm it down. "Is she yours?"
