Nathaniel Krause

"Sugar says thank you."

Nathaniel tried to smile, but it came out looking very creepy. He was trying very hard not to reach out and snuggle the kitty. He simply couldn't help himself; he absolutely loved all that was cute. Especially kittens. Sugar might not have been a kitten, persay, but she was certainly fluffy enough to count. His eyebrow began to twitch as he resisted the temptation to reach over and pet the kitty. He knew Sugar didn't like it when anyone other than Yowai held her, but she was just so darn cute....

Trembling, Nathaniel stood up from his chair, and scrambled up to stand on the table. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, until his trembling had stopped. He was back into boss mode, ready to say whats up.

"OK guys! We're all here, right? Well, regardless, we better get this meeting started since our guests are waiting...so, if there are any members missing, I want you guys to fill them in when the meetings over. Ok!

So, important announcement. Tomorrow, on Friday the 30th of October, we will be holding a masquerade ball, for Halloween. I want ALL of you to be early so that we can all help with the preparations. If you like, you are allowed to invite guests to help, but please remember that we will be doing much more working than entertaining." Nathaniel smiled down at everyone, placing his hands on his hips.

"As for the ball itself, you are allowed to bring a date. Awesome, huh?" Nathaniel winked down at Akemi, knowing that it was more than likely that she wouldn't ask anyone. She was just that kind of girl. "However, since WE are the ones holding the ball, we will still have to entertain other guests." Then, Nathaniel looked pointedly at Nat. "Also, since it is Halloween after all, I will allow pranks. They are to be of the innocent kind, nothing harmful or dangerous."

Nathaniel turned his attention back to the entire group. "Any questions?"

Gabriel Krause

Gabriel simply looked after her running figure as she bolted from the room. For some reason, when she had said that last "please," it had made him worry even more, made him feel...sad. For a moment, he looked crestfallen after she left, but then he stood up. What good would following her do? He thought to himself, If she's that scared of me....but....she really did look like she was sick....

He shook his head. I'm sure she'll be fine...I think. Am I really that scary? Huh, I guess that would explain a lot. Trying to get his mind off of things, he grabbed a manga from under his bed then curled up on his bed and began reading.

Nat looked at the boy holding the kitten. "Cats are for people who can't get a lover." He said, teasing him as Nathaniel told him he could do pranks. "No sweat, like I would do a dangerous prank." Last time they had some big event, he ended up burning down the kitchen while trying to make the cake explode; to others, it was deadly, to him, it was a minor prank. He looked up at Yowai, a boy who looked like an elementary school girl and who smelled like candy and cats; someone he really didn't mind, but on the other hand, was always fun to make the butt of the pranks. Nat stood up before pulling the cat out of Yowai's hands and almost looked as if he was dancing with the cat. "He shall be my date!" He joked, swinging the cat around by its arms. He flung it back into Yowai's arms before saying in a huge bold voice, "Then, my prank will be great this year! I shall call it the ass-pit of hell!" He laughed, falling back into his seat and flopping his legs up onto the side. "Be ready~" He sang, laughing and winking at all of them, putting his hand on Hiro. "Oh and I will pay you and Evania back soon." He snickered, let going of Hiro and spinning in his chair.

"Have more Confidence in yourself." Evania drew a breath, wondering what Akemi thought of her. 'Whatever it is, it's probably quite accurate.' And for once Evania agreed with herself. Yes, it was most likely accurate. She suddenly felt ashamed, but the feeling was soon replaced by that of rebellious defiance (a feeling which very rarely popped up). Whether Akemi discovered or not, Evania was determined to do one outragious thing before the day was done. She leaned over to whisper into Yowai's ear. "I've got to go, but I'll probably be back soon." And with that, she slipped out and nervously began the fix her hair, walking cautiously down the corridor.

Eventually, Evania arrived at the room of Gabriel Kraus, and stood there for a moment. 'You'll never pull it off.' She was suddenly sunk back into that feeling of utter self-doubt, but took a deep breath and decided to push through it. She knocked, opening the door hesitantly. Standing in the doorway, she sighed. "Ok. Obviously, I have confidance issues." 'That's not all you have.' "But... Akemi... oh, nevermind. My point is, I'm out do something out of character before the end of today. And so, her it goes. Will you go to the masquerade ball with me?" Her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth. Backing through the door, she choked out a single sentence. "You know where to find me, right?"

Nat made a half assed laugh from his throat as Akemi made the sad excuse for the underwear. "Underwear is suppose to be sexy!" He exclaimed, walking over towards her and lifting up her skirt. "This is not sexy!" He overreacted, pointing towards her panties as he walked away, watching her skirt flutter down. He watched her walk away with that smile on his face that tells you that he might just do something else in the future before one of his customers came up to him. "Hello Nat!" She squealed before Nat bowed on one knee like he was purposing to her and kissed her hand. "Hello my little rose~" His voice sang as he stood up, grabbing her by the arm and twirling around. The girl just squealed and giggled as he did. "What brings you here?" Despite Nat being an ass, he is fairly good with his customers, but not many people tend to be one because of how he regularly acts.

Nomiko & Norri.

Sighing Norri played with his hair to amuse himself, time seemed to drag on as he waited. Not that he minded, he wasn’t an overly pushy person when time was a matter, though he did sulk somewhat when being kept waiting for longer than he’d guessed. Lifting his head up a little he’d noticed a few hosts leaving, or guests. It was hard to tell, being new here after all. Though he had heard the little announcement about the Ball tomorrow, so that lifted his spirit slightly. His thoughts then wandered as of where Hiroshi was, causing him to pout a little. More so due to him having little to do other than tease poor Hiroshi. He’d mentally decided to wait a few more minutes for Hiroshi, though if in a certain amount of time he hadn’t turned up Norri would have little choice than to leave. He briefly smiled as Akemi left, also noticing Natsumi was still on the prowl for his customers.

Nomiko still sat beside her brother, managing to snag herself another quick cup of tea while she waited. Unlike Norri she was still happy and very content, time was no trouble for her. Everything was a game. Softly Nomiko hummed, setting her cup down on the table. She too was missing the hosts attention, or anyone’s. Though like Norri, the Ball filled her with great happiness and excitement.

Nomiko & Norri.

Norri was a little surprised when he felt someone playing with his hair, turning his head slightly he noticed Hiro at his side, rather sneakily. He must’ve been caught up in his own thoughts and not had realized the boy come up beside him. Norri smiled a little when Hiro mentioned how excited he was, the feeling was mutual. “I’m quite excited also.” He muttered softly with a small laugh, enjoying the affection Hiro was giving while playing with his hair. “What’s wrong with not being manly? I like your feminine charm, makes you more…cute, innocent.” Teasingly Norri stroked Hiro’s cheek, before pouting somewhat. “I should really get going now, but I’ll see you tomorrow at the Ball.” Ruffling Hiro’s hair quickly Norri got to his feet, briefly waving before motioning for Nomiko to follow.

“Aw, well. It’s been fun Hiro.” Nomiko hugged Hiroshi tightly, also pouting. She would miss him, dearly, and also the rest of the hosts. Though was eagerly excited for the Ball, so she would see them all again. “See you tomorrow.” She giggled, releasing him before following Norri out the door, the pair leaving and heading for their dorms.

Gabriel Krause

"Ha....ha..." Gabriel quietly chuckled to himself, trying to immerse himself in the book he was reading. However, no matter how hard he tried to keep concentrating on the book, he kept going back to what had happened earlier. It's not my business....but... He sighed and put the book down, unable to keep concentrated.

Knock, knock

Gabriel looked up to see the girl from earlier at the door. At the sight of her, Gabriel sprung from his bed.

"Ok. Obviously, I have confidance issues. But... Akemi... oh, nevermind. My point is, I'm out do something out of character before the end of today. And so, here it goes. Will you go to the masquerade ball with me?"

Gabriel walked over to the door, grabbing her arm before she could run away again. "Yes." He answered bluntly, looking her in the eyes. "......Take care of yourself. Okay?" He let go of her arm, gently pushed her out, then closed the door. He didn't realize he was blushing, but he was also mentally kicking himself for practically closing the door in her face. He went over to his bed and sat down.

Nathaniel Krause

After his announcement, Nathaniel hopped down from the table. Suddenly, he got a slightly pained look on his face. He walked over to Yowai, and whispered to him, "Sorry, but I gotta go. I'll let you know what I had to say to you tomorrow, okay?"

With that, he hurried out of the club room, making his way to the boy's dorms. About halfway there, he doubled over. He began to cough. The pain was intense; it felt as if his whole body was being consumed in fire. Not now....not again... After a few moments of trying to fight the pain, Nathaniel gave up. He put a hand to his forehead, and after a moment, straightened up. He wiped a dribble of blood out of the side of his mouth, then continued on to the room that he and his twin shared.

"Oh, hey Evania!" Nathaniel called out, seeing her outside of his room. "What are you doing here? Never mind that, more importantly, you'll get in trouble if you're caught here." Nathaniel smiled kindly at her, not showing his teeth. "Well, I gotta go. I would walk you back, but...well, I'm a little caught up in some things right now." With that, he waved goodbye to her and went into his room.

"....You've got red on you."

Nathaniel suddenly stiffened up as his brother walked over to him and wiped something off of his cheek. "Oh...do I? I didn't notice." Nathaniel tried to say as calmly as he could.

"You should be more tidy at lunch. Besides, so much ketchup is bad for you...."

Ooh...thank goodness he mistook it for ketchup.... Nathaniel had to stop himself from sighing in relief. Instead, he laughed and said, "Haha, I guess you're right! Well, I'm going to bed now. You should go to bed too, we have a lot to do tomorrow!"

Evania walked slowly into the room wearing a simple blue dress and mask, careful not to let her thick hair touch the ground. She was still worried about Nathaniel (she felt that there had been something terribly wrong with him earlier), but she tried her hardest to push these thoughts aside, concentrating more on his brother. His brother, who was nowhere in sight. 'He probably decided you weren't worth it.' Ignoring herself, she made her way to the back of the room, taking a seat were she was able to see the entrance without drawing attention to herself. 'Yeah, like that's possible.' Evania took a deep breath, annoyed by the obvious attempts to ruin her night. "He'll come, even if he's late. And if not, that's too bad for him, because you know what? I damn well look beautiful, dazzling, the best in the room, no makeup needed. And even if I'm just kidding myself here, you will shut your trap and let me enjoy myself, if only for the night." Looking up, she was startled by a young customer, obviously frightened by her seeming insanity. "Ma'am... are you... alright?" "I'm fine dear. Just a little... pep talk. Now please, go enjoy the party."

[OOC: Yes, I know... the dress in the pic is obviously black. Use your imagination... because she pretty much only wears blue (among other quirks, such as cold skin etc. Ask and you will receive.).]

[OOC: I think it would be good for someone from the Club to overhear one of her fits, if not this one than one that occurs soon. It should be interesting to see what happens... maybe make fun of her? Avoid her or give off little hints that you know she's "off?" Confront her in front of several people, maybe even the group, to make it awkward? Who knows...]

Strolling down the hall Norri and Nomiko were like the king and queen, almost. At least they thought so. With their heads held high, walking confidently, the brother and sister couldn’t help but smile and laugh occasionally. As of why, they didn’t really know, they were probably just happy and looking forward to the ball. Most likely. Quickly turning they entered the room, Norri first, as he smugly made his entrance known by throwing open the main doors carelessly.

Smiling Norri glanced around. He wore a simple outfit, that similar to some old tale highway man. His short, heavy navy coat hung lousy on his slender figure, swaying with his movements easily. Under it revealed his shirt, white and carelessly buttoned. His tight trousers, which matched his coat, sat snuggly on his body and were neatly tucked away down into his thick brown boots. Looking over his shoulder Norri seemed curious as to whom was already here. He never thought to wear a mask, as his face was too good to hide away, or so he thought anyway. Behind him Nomiko crept into the room, rather shyly.

Upon examining the room Nomiko smiled warmly, bowing sheepishly to whoever come in contact with her. She wore a pretty pink dress, simply. With frilly ends hanging on the bottom, dragging against the floor while she walked. Perhaps it was a little too long for her? It’s long sleeves also loomed over her hands, again suggesting it’s length not exactly fitting her small frame. The best word to describe her was princess, as she looked the part. Not revealing anything and seeming utterly innocent. Running over to Norri she hugged onto his arm cutely.

Nathaniel Krause

"Take one. For the team."

"Gabriel....? What's with that look on your face....?"

"Nathaniel. Do it. Now."

As the head of the Gardening Club handed Nathaniel a dress, laughing, Nathaniel looked beaten. How did he get coerced into this?

Nathaniel was thinking of this, while he walked down the hallway on his way to the ball. He passed by a window, and stopped for a moment.

He didn't even recognize himself. Well, how could he, when he was dressed like a girl? He even had extensions in his hair, making him look completely different. He was even wearing heels.

How do girls deal with these?! Nathaniel thought to himself, sighing as he tentatively pushed open the doors to the masquerade. He peered in and saw a few members already there, and stepped in.

"Ohmygoodness, whos that girl???"
"She's so cute!"

As a few girls fussed over him, he hurried over to where Akemi was. "Hey Akemi..." He said, his voice a dead giveaway.



"....Not even one?"

"Nope. Not even one. Not until I see Mr. Awesome here in a dress."

It was an hour or so before the ball was to begin. Gabriel and Nathaniel had gone to the gardening club, at Gabriel's request. He had come here to get some kind of flower for Evania, but apparently the head of the gardening club had a grudge against his twin.

"What did I ever do to you, huh?" Nathaniel had asked, annoyed.

"What, you don't remember?" The guy huffed, scowling. "A year ago you made me run naked around the school. I almost got expelled for that!"

Gabriel looked over at Nathaniel with a raised brow. Oddly, Nathaniel looked surprised too, turning to his brother and asking, "Did I really do that?"

"Of course you did!" The guy interuppted. "You thought it was hilarious!"

"........" Gabriel was silent, then turned to his twin. "Take one. For the team."

"Gabriel....? What's with that look on your face....?"

Finally, thirty minutes after the ball already started, Gabriel was finally able to get his flowers. He had had a hard time choosing, since he didn't really know much about flowers. He had ended up getting her a bouquet of lilies and yellow roses. Now, all he had to do was get dressed and go.

Gabriel, at his twin's urging, decided to go as the Phantom of the Opera. Oddly enough, without his glasses he looked almost just like the real thing. Almost. Finally ready to go, he grabbed the bouquet and made his way to to ball. Girls seemed to be squealing the entire way, so it was not surprising when he entered the ballroom that girls would already be whispering about him.

Quickly, he surveyed the room. Where was she? Maybe she thought he wasn't coming, and left? As Gabriel tried to find a secluded spot to get away from the club's guests, he kept looking for her.

Evania saw what looked to be Gabriel slip in through the large doors, and got up quickly. Of course, by the time she'd made her way through the evergrowing crowd of packed bodies... he had dissapeared. "That was an idiotic plan... not a plan at all, really. Come seperately? I mean, who's to say he'd even recognize me, let along find me in this crowd!" Sighing, she looked around for her date (DATING: a feat which she had never successfully accomplished, anyways). "Gabriel!" She spotted him near the middle of the room, seeming to be making his way to the back. When she'd arrived at the very spot in which she'd spotted him, he was nowhere to be seen. She spun around quickly, ramming into Gabriel himself in the process. She fell to the ground, holding her head to avoid passing out and speaking in slurred tones. "There you are."
