Snippet #2745511

Zuuka was very shocked when Luke, the person who he had just left, came into the room after he had taken off all of his clothes. This was a totally unexpected situation, and caused Zuuka to not just freeze up but fall over. "L...Luke?! Why are you here?! Don't tell me...you are my roommate?!"

Zuuka managed to get up onto his knees, but he was still a bit frozen from shock. At the very least, his back was turned so Luke only saw him from behind. His wet clothes were still lain across the floor though, and it was pretty clear how embarrassed he was from this situation. After all, all Luke had seen of him were sides that were not exactly confidence inspiring...

"...sorry you got stuck with me...I know I can look pretty pathetic".

If it was not for the fact he could pass the barrier into the boy's dorm, there was always a chance he would be mistaken as a girl with his physique. But after hyperventalating a bit, he finally managed to calm down and look at Luke. "Well, I suppose we will be roommates, so I guess...we should get used to this".

Zuuka said that, finally standing up though looking extremely awkward still as he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. "I think I will hit the showers...I already got wet once, but I don't know if that fountain water can count or not".

He said that as he rushed out the door to head towards the baths and showers. Actually, there was another reason...none of his dry clothes were unpacked, and that towel was the only thing within arm's reach for him to grab.

Meanwhile...

Yuna also stripped off his clothes, having worn the same thing for the past three days at least while traveling, and then wrapped his body with a towel as well. They had seen a few others walk outside like that, so he figured that it was normal to do. Well, it was, but that was besides the point.

Once they left though, Yuna still felt the expecting looks on them, and maybe even intensify. Still, it looked like they were not planning to act yet, but were waiting. It did not take them long to get to the room with the showers and baths. There were various spots where one could safely store towels. And once they got there...Yuna quickly stole Yuma's towel and used it to strike his bare butt.

"Well, we can't let this atmosphere ruin our fun! Well, come on. We have like, a week's worth of dirt to wash off..." Yuna said as he put their towels to the side and grabbed a quick rinse sprayer to rinse them off. A few other boys in the room gave them looks, probably because of their Elven physiques. Afterwards, he took some soap and shampoo and pulled Yuma into the large bath with him so they could finally wash off and get clean.

After awhile though, something unexpected happened. That is, another boy walked in and looked around. It seemed like he was contemplating between the showers and the bath, but who it was interested him more. After all, it was Zuuka.

Because of that, Yuna decided to use his attraction power and caused Zuuka's towel to slip off and towards them. And when Zuuka himself realized it had fallen and went to grab it, Yuna used it again to cause him to slip forward and fall into the same bath he and Yuma were in.

"Hey look Yuma! This boy has pretty hair! We should help him!" Yuna said, half wanting to make it embarrassing the boy, and the other half...well, he might actually be serious about helping him to make a new friend, as Yuma suggested before. Besides, the boy would need help washing his back and shampooing his hair. The twins always helped each other with that, so they knew what they were talking about.

"My name is Yuna! Nice to meet you! Oh right, you might want to pick up...your..."

But when Yuna and Zuuka looked over, not only was Zuuka's towel missing, but Yuna's and Yuma's was as well. While they were distracted, it seems they got hit already.

Meanwhile...

A man in a dark, supposedly unoccupied room was looking through the various photos he had taken and were having taken. Abigail, Zuuka, and all the others they interacted with and talked to. Including the twins, Luke, and Alison, among others.

"Hmmm. It looks like there are quite a few interesting people here. But, will they be good targets...or troublesome interferences. No matter, we will just have to keep an eye on all of them. Just to be safe".

The man hidden in the dark downloaded copies of all their student records, and then promptly made sure to erase any trace that he was there so that there would be no evidence or indication.

Meanwhile...

A dark shadow moved through the mist, close to where Alison and her sister lived. It spied a woman nearby, within its territory and hunger, walking around as if nothing was wrong. She was clearly drunk, from a night of celebrating...at least, that is what it looked like.

A military smell...a military person. Drunk, but capable. Alert? Ssss....not yet, not drunk enough...

And then, it looked towards a target much closer. A man with a daughter, who had promised to ask about getting her daughter a doll. It seemed he was looking for someone who lived nearby. It considered waiting, leaving its time for a new target to show up. However...it was growing hungry...and running out of time.

And so, it began to creep behind the father and daughter...the shadow that no one could identify preparing for another attack.
