Garden

"Your names confuse me. Garden and Mercy, it'll be confusing. Whether someone utters, 'Have mercy on me!' or, 'Let's have a break in the garden.', it sounds funny, and at times, it'll be a horrid mix-up and debate of what would they actually mean. How about some other names for you two? ... Gardenia and Mercela, perhaps?" sir Dendus said and asked, she ponder a bit on other names she has but quite frankly. Garden is the most simplest name she has.

"Sorry, Sir Dendus I do not have any other name...my full name is Princess Garvenialiam Inegeniumegi of the kingdom of Garvenloir. It's quite long and kind of tongue twisted so I stick by Garden." She explained to the dark hair boy. As soon enough the bartender brought in three passion fruit smoothies. "Ah~ Thank you!" He thanked the bartender as she grabbed the smoothie and drank it. It had a little umbrella and that her laugh. "Wah~ This is really delicious and refreshing~" She said as the smoothie was really good.

Seven

He watched Mr. lion sniff the air. " I’m not sure about cooked or barbecued meat but food in general sounds good...fear a hungry" He took a small step back...he remember to never mess with a hungry lion...he learned his lesson a long time ago...He focused back on Little feather and Dani who were talking about wet clothes. He laughed as Mr. Lion sort of nommed on Little feather hand. The girl hand as covered in lion drool. "Hahahaha!" He let out a prankster laugh as Little feather rubbed her drool covered hand on Mr. lion.

So he, Mr. Lion, Little feather and Dani were going to eat, he continue to find the scent of the food...As he ran a bit head while doing some flips and twirls he occasionally stop to find the scent. He did a massive jump and landed on his hands, he smelled something. On the beach was a small shack with some smoke going up, he sniffed first and decided that where was the scent coming from. "Hey guys over here!" He pinted at the shack,"I think I found a place to eat!"

Zivon

After a few moments he stood up from where he was sitting and started to walk a back, he guessed that he will just stay at the house he was assigned to, alone and probably cook for something, grilled tuna sounded good. He will just unpack first and buy the fish and ingredients later. With that said he walked to the main building of the entire island. The resort itself looked amazing, modern and clean something he only could see in magazine ads or posters.

"...pretty..." It had seemed that was the only thing he could say publicly but he couldn't"t lie...it is pretty. He put on his sun glasses and walked around, he figured to check the palace out so he won"t get lost unlike in school, it happen a lot. Many unpeculiar faces, he got a lot better to control his anxiety eventhough he was really afraid, he didn't notice that his hands were clutching onto his shirt the entire time and his breathing was rather abnormal. With trying his best to control his self he didn't know he accidentally bumped into someone at their back. "I-I am sor-ry..." He muttered in a quiet tone as he tilted his big floppy sun hat, hoping someone he had bumped into wasn't someone he knew.

Nikola

Nikola raised an eyebrow. Two people seemed lazy enough to depend on their own group of three, which shortly after waiting for a while, became a group of four. And now these fools were talking amongst themselves, bickering like the children they were. There was one boy smoking in front of a man whose heart died in a great fire. An insult it was, even if the child did not realize it. Did this boy seriously find it funny to have the name "Garden" or "Mercy?" Because from what he could tell, it was better than having one's last name as "Lovelock" even though they were probably not even going to study in that stupid world known as "Gaia." It was a common misconception that he transformed his destroyed body for a better world.

He transformed himself to purge the filth on the defile world. Filled with... supernatural creatures, and all sorts of things, the world was impure in his eyes. For now, he would teach these supernatural creatures as their teacher, but his grudge against them would not fade away under normal circumstances. He believe he was superior, no matter how freaking old these animals were. In the end, he would rise on the top of the chain of power.

The menu seemed to detect Garden's request, instantly letting Nikola know through his technological counter system that the group wanted three smoothies, as well as some alcohol (Nikola presumed that the boy wanted whiskey). E.A.R. suddenly shot out of his back, extending to the point where it vanished to a small kitchen behind Nikola.

E.A.R. slowly returned with three fruit smoothies, along with a glass of whiskey, within five seconds of not returning, its arrival being- bluntly put- a little too quick. The mechanical arm made a strange whirring sound, its palm glowing pink again, as if it were timid in giving the people the drinks. Currently carrying a flat tray with drinks on it, the hand quietly put the tray of drinks in front of the group.

"Enjoy your drinks," Nikola said, his eyes glowing yellow unnaturally. "No payment is required for today." He currently had a fairly laidback attitude. Maybe it was because he did not need to fire lasers at disruptive students yet.

Yet.

Dani - Er... Pineapples? >.>
“You fell in? I’m sorry I didn’t see otherwise I would have helped you out...I was suffering from seasickness as well I think.” Little Feather replied.
"Glad I wasn't the only one." Dani replied, then turned red. "I-I mean, it's n-not like I want you t-to get seasick, I mean- I-" Dani promptly shut up. He didn't want to dig his hole any deeper.

“Don’t you have waterproof ones on underneath? Mercy made me put some on before we landed. If not it’s pretty warm so I would imagine you’d dry out quickly.” Little Feather said.
"No, I was being stupid and decided that if I wanted to go swimming, I would change when I got here." Dani said with a sigh. Then Little Feather got chomped by the lion. Dani was about to do something when he realized that the lion wasn't eating her, just teasingly slobbering all over her hand. Seven burst out laughing, but Dani actually attempted not laughing. He didn't succeed.

Darwin - Meet The Room Mate

The unicorn sat on the stool with a tilted head as he observed the bar tender. It was more than likely he was a teacher here, but Darwin didn't really care for that. This bartender looked so cool! He reminded Darwin of a T-1000 from Terminator, maybe this bartender was sent back in time to kill one of them. If that was the case, Darwin would destroy him with the power of rainbows.....hehehe he'd never destroyed a robot with rainbows. Wouldn't that be amaziong...

He found himself moving his gaze to Mercy. "Well....I am the best at fishing......turns out fish love bright colours! So...Mercy! Do you know hwo to surf? I've been trying to treach myself but I can't get the hang of it.....I've been looking for some who can." He laughed and turned to his roomie.

"Dendus!" He said with his arms above his head. "I've been looking for you! I've decided to put down a few rules..." He shot him a crazy grin. "And hopefully you'll follow them cos I trust you." he chuckled. "Rule 1: No smoking in the room, Rule 2: Do not touch my anime without permission. Rule 3: Take as many guests or girls over to the room just not in my bed. Rule 4 NEVER TAKE MY SKITTLES!" he screamed that last rule before his normal warm grin re-appeared. "Hey....I wonder what Ryuu-san is doing right now? Probably using his awesome charm to seduce a beautiful girl...."

Zaelyn - You ran out of adjectives, didn't you?

Zaelyn seemed pleased enough with his explanation. "The world is pretty big, isn't it?" She added a random thought, her shoulders raising as she took a deep breath, exhaling it in the form of a content sigh. Moving to the side, slightly, she took a brief moment to observe everything around her for a brief moment. Soon, her eyes returned to Matt- the normal, emerald one and the fiery, strange one. They stared in unison at the boy's face when he asked her name; she could feel her heart racing inside of her chest as the thoughts of a possible friend overwhelmed her mind.

"Ah, Matt is a good name. I'm Zaelyn." She told him

Matt - No, of course not, what makes you think that? ^^'
"Yeah, that it is." Matt said, turning to look at the ocean.
"Ah, Matt is a good name. I'm Zaelyn." the girl introduced herself. Matt turned to face her.
"Zaelyn's a pretty name, too. Nice to meet you, Zaelyn." He said with a smile, even though he was quite curious about her species. A pair of horns and a strange eye. Surely she wasn't a demon. Or was she?
"What... Are you, if you don't mind me asking? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Matt asked.

Dendus - Every dollar spent waging the war on drugs is a dollar wasted on not genetically engineering catgirls.
Once he found out the bar also serves whiskeys, Dendus made gestures with his hands to order it, while remaining to keep his gaze on Garden. "No, no, no, i'm not suggesting you should get a new, legal name. What i was saying was that, Gardenia should be another nickname in order to clear up any eventual confusion." Dendus stole a short glance on one, strange-looking man near him, noting that he seemed to be the waiter of the bar, at least. He continued, "Whether to make us keep calling you Garden or like Gardenia, is up to what you say next."

And all of a sudden, there goes Darwin and his sick kicks.

"Rule 1: No smoking in the room, Rule 2: Do not touch my anime without permission. Rule 3: Take as many guests or girls over to the room just not in my bed. Rule 4 NEVER TAKE MY SKITTLES!"

"Sure, sure. I'd follow those. In return, here's some rules.

One, don't scream out loud past eleven o'clock.

Two, don't ever get through my luggage.

Three, you do not enter my bedroom.

And four, YOU DO NOT ENTER MY FUCKING BEDROOM. Phew, sorry if i scared people, just needed to emphasize that last bit."

Andormeda slid her sunglasses back into place as the man started rolling around the sand.
the large man was currently wearing a pair of ridiculous sunglasses, and she stifled a giggle. the he smiled a very scary smile and she gulped instead.
"Sorry 'bout that. I'm just tired these days... Hm?" he said
"i'm fine thanks, and i think you have the wrong glasses..." then she realized he was staring rather pointedly at her chest. she shifted uncomfortably and wrapped her arms around her chest. she looked him over, her snakes stirring "I'm andromeda, you are?"

Lily - Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Gently in the... Ocean?

After a few moments of setting up camp on one of the lawnchairs, Lily took off her blouse and made way for the beach, enjoying the sun and the wind in her hair. She smiled warmly as her toes hit the water and it danced. She grinned down at the water, her old friend.

"I can hear you again." She whispered. It was a lie, she couldn't really hear it. But she could, feel it. She could feel the emotions of the water spirit in the ocean. She was very kind and an old friend of Lily's.

Lily got deeper into the water and the water continued to dance around her, the spirit's way of greeting her. She chuckled and lifted a bit of the water up with her hand. It lifted up and swirled around in the air before splashing her in the face. Laughing, she shook the water away and dove into the water, spinning and twirling as she went. She felt like a small child again. All of her worries gone for the moment and that was... good. She needed this. A moment's reprieve. She chuckled again as the water formed an air bubble around her mouth and pushed on her, making her go faster.

After a few seconds, she had to come up for air. She sprung from the water and into the air, the force of the water pulling her hair out of her bun. She sat, treading water, her hair hanging down on her face. She went back down and pulled her hair out of her face but was suddenly pulled down by the water again. She smiled, looking around and went back up.

"Stop playing tricks on me." She said, giggling innocently.

Liam

She walked over to one of the closesest shadows and stayed under it for a while to get her skin to not hurt again. A sudden "Hey" came from her back, she jumped up realising that it was Dani his voice. Turning around she could see him giving her a cold look as he walked up to little feather. She wanted to get away from this world now vaporise into nothing but dust. The burning sun appealed her now this very moment as it was a good way to vaporize to dust. The only real problem was that it would take some time and pain. She walked over to the beach not knowing of what to do. A girl was dashing through the sea, she dove down and didn't get back up again after a long time. She didn't really know what to do at the beach but it could work out just looking at the girl swim. She plunked down her bag right besides one of the parasols that were standing on the beach. She got bored of it in a matter of second, The sea looked rather pleasant right now since that there weren't thay much people in it even tough it was nearly the hotest time of the day. She walked over to the sea and dipped her feet in as she started to move further down into the sea. The water gave a nice feeling to her hot body that had some sweat on it. When the sea water hit her hips she stopped moving down deeper since it would put her in danger. She made a cup out of her hands and poured some of the water onto her back that hurted from the salt pouring over her scarr. Closing her eyes for a split second from the shock she did it over and over. She stopped for a moment noticing Lily was rather close to her.

Mercy

Mercy noted Garden smile after her speech ‘On embracing the different’ She was glad for that reaction, she didn’t want to come across to strong. Her smile widened at Garden’s words. “That’s the spirit” She encouraged raising her hand and giving Garden the thumbs up. Before her attention was pulled back to Dendus, she raised an eyebrow at the young man. “Well I’d consider them lucky if they were to have ‘Mercy’ on them” She jested with a somewhat teasing undertone. “Joking aside considering they would be used in a different context it’s probably less likely that our names could be mistaken in that way” Mercy answered the boy a smile still playing at her lips. “No one is going to refer to me in such a manner and just to point out why would you be saying ‘The’ Garden when referring to Lady Garden?” She also pointed out quite politely.

“As wonderful as those names are I would really prefer it if you stuck to my preferred name or if you’re struggling maybe my own alternative, for example some people call me MJ...just don’t bring up Spiderman” Mercy smiled at Dendus, thinking he was a rather strange character yet he seemed OK, she understood what Darwin had meant, though she got the impression both Dendus and Darwin had similar thoughts on each other. I’m sure he means well, Mercela wasn’t a terrible name...it’s just not my name Mercy was a little touchy when it came to her name, it was the only thing she had woken up knowing 3 years ago sure certain bits of her history came back slowly but it wasn’t the same.
Mercy glanced over at Garden seeing her staring wistfully at the swimming pool she was in the Midst of formulating an idea when she heard Garden’s response to Dendus. She actually felt her jaw drop open at Garden’s full name, she closed it rather quickly though not wanting to appear rude. “Ok then...so you’re a princess?” Mercy wasn’t really asking it was more of a rhetorical question.

A Princess? Oh, I hope I haven’t been disrespectful Mercy looked worried for a brief moment, trying to think over what she had said, she really hated not knowing things like this...she usually had all the answers, here she was lucky if she had one. “I hope I haven’t been disrespectful, I call everyone honey...I don’t mean to it just kind of slips out” Mercy apologized to Garden. She watched as the mechanical arm delivered the drinks her eyes once again alighting with curiosity as it seemed to falter when putting the drinks down, she could have sworn it was displaying emotion...maybe she was imagining it, it did so remind her of Kupo. “Thank you” She directed her comment at the mechanical arm before smiling at the bartender as he spoke, she would have to find a way toretract money for the future it seemed. She scooped two glasses of passion fruit smoothie towards her passing one to Darwin, she delicately placed the pink straw protruding from the tall glass on her lips taking a small taste, she was rather surprised at the pleasant flavour, to top that the drink was cool and most definitely refreshing
.
She turned her gaze to Darwin as he mentioned being the best at fishing, she felt a smile tug at her lips as she looked at him. “I can imagine they do” She commented thinking over what he had said. “I don’t tend to go near the sea I’m afraid, if I do it’s a flying fancy with the sand and the sun” She grinned at Darwin. “However, Crash surfs. I’m not sure how well...he struggles balancing on land let alone moving water. But maybe it’d be worth asking him” She offered in substitute, before falling silent as Dendus and Darwin tried to stamp rules for one another, she found it to be a rather tiresome show of male dominance. She did wince a little as Darwin raised his voice, she looked at him questioningly as he spoke of Ryuu.

“Good call by the way...” She started to say to Garden before she hesitated did she call Garden her highness now she knew or did she continue calling her Lady Garden as the girl had taken to calling her Lady Mercy. Etiquette why must you be so confusing...at least I’m slowly getting the hang of the right way to speak...less strange words She still smiled pleasantly and looked over at the swimming pool remembering Garden had been looking at it earlier. “Excuse me, you wouldn’t happen to know if it’s ok to use the pool today would you?” Mercy asked the bartender.

Garden

Ah listened carefully to Lady Mercy and her talk about the names. She smiled as Lady Garden gave her a thumbs up and telling her that's the spirit. She was glad also that Lady Mercy explained about the confusion of names also...she would have never explained it right, he was never good at explain lot of things. It was funny that Sir Dendus and Sir Darwin were talking about rules for their house they were assigned to. They were a bit too loud but they weren't causing trouble so it didn't mind her. She wonder who was her room mate too, was she nice? Kind? Fun? She wonder who she is.

“Ok then...so you’re a princess?" Lady Mercy asked, right she did say her full name, Garden gave a nod to her. "Yes, I am a princess and three years now I will be queen..." She said quietly but still her usual happy tone, she then took a small sip of the sweet drink. "I hope I haven’t been disrespectful, I call everyone honey...I don’t mean to it just kind of slips out” Lady Mercy apologized to her. "Oh it's fine, being a princess well you are being called highness or princess all day and it does get a wee bit tiring but not much so it's fine if you call me that I don't mind." As Mercy asked about the if the pool was open her eyes glimmered, it would make so happy if she could swim.

Zaelyn - You could use: Ablaze, heated, flaming, combustible, alight, hot, fervid, fevered...

Zaelyn nearly instantly tilted her head to the side and giggled girlishly when he claimed that her name was pretty. The only reason was that she actually wasn't sure if that had been her name: When she woke up from a nearly infinitely lasting slumber, it was the first word which came to her mind, so she figured that it was her name. Not that she'd tell him that just yet. Then, the boy asked what she what she was. She hesitated at first, both of her hands reaching up to gently run over the curved horns she had on the sides of her head, a soft humming escaping the red-head for a brief moment, then she finally spoke.

"Um. I don't know. I think I'm a demon, that's what everyone calls me- but... I'm not really evil, or bad. So I'm not a demon, am I?" Her question held the same expecting tone as her earlier question about the sea- as if his answer itself could determine whenever she was or not one.

((ignore - see post below))

Carmen - we're gonna need a bigger boat sun hat

Carmen's mind said Wait...what are "beach clothes"?

That was the first problem.

Upon the reveal of the beach vacation back at the Academy, Carmen had no idea what she was in for. She had slightly more of an idea when everyone else started discussing "beach clothes" - an idea that she would have no idea what she was doing. She had exactly zero beach clothes, or even casual clothes for that matter, and that was manifested when the students piled onto a ship to go to the island. In her long formal gown, she looked moderately ridiculous getting on the ship and marginally more than moderately ridiculous getting off it. She had heard that there was a clothing store in the resort at the center of the island, and she immediately made her way towards it once she set foot on the sand. Soon she reached the resort, and stood there admiring the architecture for a few minutes before finding the beach store and walking in.

It was a small little store, filled with items Carmen was unfamiliar with and making her immediately confused. At the time she walked in she was the only one in the store besides the cashier, and she needed that space and time to figure out exactly what "beach clothes" were and which ones she wanted. After approximately 37 minutes, she found a sundress and some flip flops that she was happy with. How do you find fancy designer wedge flip flops in a small beach store? Be Carmen Calandra, that's how.

Carmen was about to be ready when she happened to glance out the window and notice something: some people were wearing sun hats. Wait, she thought. Those hats...I must have one. Bigger must be better when it comes to sun hats, right? And so she began searching for the biggest sun hat she could find. Unfortunately, she didn't have much luck. The store didn't seem to carry anything but plebeian-sized sun hats, obviously not meant for her. She was about to give up when she spotted something in the back of the store that piqued her interest. It was buried under a pile items but she was persisted, and was rewarded with the biggest sun hat ever (this post sponsored by Sex and the City). She had to have it. She was nearly ready to dominate the island's fashion scene, but she had to tackle one more obstacle:

The cashier.

She walked up to the cash register with her items and placed them on the counter, greeted by a tall surfer dude with wild blonde hair. She watched as he scanned each of the items, and became inwardly crestfallen when he, although predictably, gave her her total price. "That'll be $72.49, miss."

Carmen blinked. And then thought. And then blinked again.

Carmen: "...you work here?"
Cashier: "Totally. This shack is groovular."
C: "So you regularly see Athalia Academy students?"
C: "Like, all the time. It's uber weird when someone isn't an Academian. ...I just made that word up. Righteous."
C: (confused at his word choices) "...so you know that a lot of us aren't human?"
C: "Totally. It's all like ET and stuff."
C: (even more confused) "So do any of those said non-humans have no experience with money?"
C: "Ah yeah, that's totally a thing."
C: (her signature one eyebrow raised is now in full effect) "...so what happens if I'm one of those?"
C: "Ahhh...yeah. Don't sweat it, miss. You're square - we just let the ol' double-A foot the bill."

While she wasn't sure what he had even just said, she knew she was off the hook and was very happy. She immediately changed into her new beach outfit, brandishing the sundress, designer flip flops and especially ridiculous sun hat with pride. She was the pinnacle of beach fashion - according to herself, anyway. Clearly the right thing to do in this situation was to go to the bar and get a nice, sophisticated cocktail. After finding her assigned house and dropping off her trumpet (she wouldn't be needing that for a while, and she was the only one who was able to pick it up anyway) and her formal gown in her room, she went to the bar. She saw that a large group of Athalia students had had the same idea - there were a few she recognized, and many that she didn't. Sitting down on a barstool in the midst of the group, she smiled at all of them, then turning to the bartender. "I'll have a cosmopolitan, if you have that."

– Kathy

Kathy had to admit that hearing that Crash had also missed her made her a lot happier than it probably should have. The best part was, she did not feel shy, embarrassed, or troubled in some way from hearing those words. Just happy. For the moment she could genuinely just forget about all the worries she had about the island and simply enjoy herself. Her white teeth showing with her wide smile, she seemed happy to the point it would have probably been contagious.

“There’s a beach here?” Crash asked, winking. He seemed to be inviting her to interject, and she was not one to disappoint. Laughing, she made an attempt for a playful shove on his shoulder. At the mention of swimming and surfing, Kathy furrowed her brows a little and made a small thoughtful sound. She didn’t really want to admit she had zero intentions to do either of those activities when Crash seemed like he would probably enjoy them. Her eyebrow rose at the suddenly apology, then she broke out into a hearty laugh when she heard the rest of his sentence. “A, A puppy on speed?!” One hand clutching her aching side and the other covering her mouth as she attempted to stifle herself, she continued for a bit before she finally took in a few deep breaths and coughed with a slight blush on her face. “Sorry, didn’t mean to laugh so hard. Just… It kind of suits you. Er, not the drug but rather the… Puppy description…” She trailed off a bit at the end, feeling the blush deepen a bit.

“Let’s see…” She was headed for the resort, but she hadn’t quite thought beyond just arriving at the place. Not quite that deep in thoughts though, she noticed the perplexed expression on his face and tilted her head slightly to the side as she wondered what was going through his head. She was about to ask when she heard: “I don’t want to pry but did you get up to much the last couple of weeks? I erm tried to text...but I don’t think they went through” Her eyes widening a bit at the question, she missed the chance to warn him about the tree behind him until it was too late. Picking up the coconut in her hands, she tossed it up a few times in her hands and commented, “I bet you’d rather it was my shoe again. My flipflop is lighter than this, and lot softer.” It was a joke, but her smile was visibly a lot smaller than before. ‘A coconut… Maybe I’ll head over to the bar then. A tropical drink at an island sounds nice.’ No longer having any business with the coconut, she tossed it to the side and hopefully out of harm’s way.

Nodding in agreement to his last statement, Kathy reached out to wrap her hand around his wrist, hoping he wouldn’t move away. ‘First time we met I did this without really thinking but… Just his wrist should be fine right?’ “Um… I was just thinking that you didn’t really have any accidents when I led you through a crowd like this.” She told him, a slight blush returning to her cheeks. Wrist-to-hand or not, she began to lead the way towards the bar of the resort.

Going back to his question from before she answered, “To tell you the truth… I only saw your texts about 2 days ago.” She looked at him a little nervously, wondering if Crash would believe her. “I’m not really used to getting contacted when I’m outside of the academy, so I forgot to even check or charge my phone when I went to my parents’ place. Then I kind thought it was a little too late to reply to all that and… Here I am. Sorry… I really didn’t mean to…”

Nikola raised an eyebrow. He had looked up from the glass he was cleaning, the yellow lights that shone out of his eyes peering into the silver-haired woman's.

He then looked back at the glass he was cleaning, simply answering robotically, "The pool is open. It should be somewhere close by here."

The inventor nearly rolled his eyes when someone else apparently ordered something. The man looked at the new visitor (Carmen), then at the group that just arrived, then at her again.

The masked man turned back, commanding E.A.R., "Go get a cosmopolitan. I never really suspected people would've asked me for cosmos today..."

The mechanical arm, like it did earlier, vanished into the kitchen. It quickly came back out with a reddish glass on a tray. There was a lime wedge serving as a standard garnish for the cosmopolitan. E.A.R. made a high-pitched clicking noise, the pink light still emitting out of its palm. It seemed to be nervous with all of these young people popping up here and there.

"Enjoy your drink, have a nice day," Nikola said absentmindedly, as if he were becoming a robot constantly cleaning glasses and dishware.

---

Ryuu blinked when Andromeda pointed out that he had the wrong sunglasses.

Why.

Why did his sunglasses have dollar signs on them.

True to her word, these glasses did not belong to him. With his gaze off of the melon patch, Ryuu threw the sunglasses toward somewhere far away before moving back to find his sunglasses again. He then came back up to her, his yellow sunglasses now back on, as he quietly muttered,

"Thanks. It'd be weird to have some sort of pimp-glasses-wearing-gangster strolling down a private beach, now that I think about it."

Ryuu prevented himself from looking at the vast melon field again. Andromeda, which was her name, seemed to have snakes for her hair.

That was just awesome.

"Erm," the otaku said, wondering why everyone else looked so different compared to his plain-looking, bully-like gruff appearance, "Name's Ryuu. Nice to meet ya, Andromeda!"

The student attempted to laugh normally. He sort of sounded like the lord of the flies, but hey, he was trying as hard as he could, right?

The otaku became silent pretty quickly. He wanted to smash his face into a paper shredder for making everything so awkward.

Andromeda watched as he threw the glasses away and she chuckled a little, her snakes calmed down now that he wasn't giving her a terrifying smile.
she pulled her towel around and sat on her knees.
"Thanks. It'd be weird to have some sort of pimp-glasses-wearing-gangster strolling down a private beach, now that I think about it." he said.
Andromeda laughed "sort of"
"Name's Ryuu. Nice to meet ya, Andromeda!" he said.
"nice to meet you too, Ryuu" she stood up, looking around the beach, offering her hand to help him up "are you excited for this vacation?"

Darwin

Darwin smiled warmly and delighted at Dendus. He had gotten the best room mate that he wouldn't have to steal his skittles back from. He laughed at Dendus and went for a high five, Darwin needed high fives, they were the best.

"Right, that's setlled, oh! Want a smoothie? I heard they're awesome!" He quickly took a smoothie and handed it to Dendus and got himself one as well. He put in a green twisty straw and began drinking it. "WOAH!" He shouted. "THIS IS AWESOME!" He laughed again and turned to Mercy and grinned. "THIS IS BLOODY AWESOME" He turned to Garden and nodded quickly too. "Oh uh....sotrry for shouting, I know I'm not supposed to...." He sighed and turned to Garden "Wait...you're a princess!" His eyes lit up and he bowed to her. "Greetings your grace, I am but a lowly servant, but I'm a unicorn...."

Dendus
His order didn't arrive, strangely. He just uttered the order in sign language, but it seems the guy didn't seem to understand that kind of gesture communication. Dendus repeated again. "You serve whiskey? Bring me whiskey. Here's a dozen dollars for ya." He was like a grown-up, in some way. He talked like one, and he's got vices like one. Maybe that's for staying about eighty years on this earth, and being with a bunch of bozo coworkers back then.

Glancing at another person who just came at the bar, Dendus then faced the two who began to talk about royalty. "A princess, you say? Glad to see people like that go in the direction of the regular life. People of royalty i see in the news just order men around like chess pieces and isolate themselves from society. I don't see how they find amusement in that, but if it is because the monarch set up their live instead of themselves then i wouldn't be surprised. And if you princesses are allowed to do what they want outside the castle, then your kingdom must've been a good place." Dendus took a sip of the smoothie that suddenly appeared beside him, waiting for his other order.
