Lunetta was first to arrive to the tall, grey apartment building housing her new home. She looked up at it and back at her card, with the bio of her suitor and her apartment number, before walking with her luggage, which consisted of two suitcases she somehow held in one hand and a rolling on behind her, into the building and noted with annoyance that the building had no elevator. The entire inside was made of that rough material, stone, painted a cream color. Trugging up the stairs, she found it a painful process in carrying her things up the undecorated apartment building.


Harley meanwhile had walked despite it raining. She was dressed in red shorts and a black and white corset-not the lingerie, the classy kind made of satin. Her backpack was a bright blue thing and filled to bursting as she walked up to the building, looking around for others. She noted one girl go in but didn't see anyone else and she slipped into the shadow of the building to watch the people arrive.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Kurogane and Shirogane, visibly siblings, walked into the room. The elder sibling, Shirogane, had on him just one bag of clothing, another of books and parts, and a laptop-case slung over his shoulder, slightly mussed black hair and dark blue eyes scanned the room. He'd memorized his partner's name, Harley, and his number... frowning inside slightly. After all, this stupid setup... ah, but this was the world, and he'd given up on it. blank face in place he started walking up the stairs, noticing some girl on the side out of one eye, but left it be. THere was an umbrella held in his sister's hand, but it was held over just him, because she was protecting his equipment.


Kurogane, wearing a thick, waterproof cloak of dark-blue, also scanned the room. On her part she was wondering what kind of place this was, and... she was almost disappointed... there wouldn't be an archery range here! Over one shoulder was a traditional Japanese bow, rare in this country, a memento of her parents. Someone named Jake Thorn...dusk? No, that wasn't right... whatever, he was the person she'd been given... and her number was.... nevermind, she knew where she was going, and it wasn't important. She just had to ruin the run, at least.... (never allowed to get in love? A cheap cost for freedom! E-even if she did want to one day be swept off her feet by the perfect guy.) No, she wouldn't start to blush, or think of that... ruin the relationship, or at least prove that they can't force it!

Dante arrived at the apartment, squinting up at the ugly grey monstrosity before him. Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose and some stray strands that fell down from his messy ponytail out of his face, he began jogging up the stairs to get out of the rain. He turned back and whistled, adjusting the straps on his bookbag as two huge beasts rushed past him and undoubtedly caused a ruckus ahead of him, seeing as the stairway was too crowded with the two of them. Dante smirked to himself as he sauntered in after them."Poncho, Ludwig, sitzen!"He commanded, patting the two dog large head affectionately as they obeyed. He walked past them and up the stairs where a girl appeared to be struggling. Dante frowned slightly before taking one of her suitcases without asking and holding it at his side next to his two large suitcases."Where we headed?" He asked.


Rhydian pulled on his hood as he skated up to the building, skidding to a stop and kicking his board up so he could carry it."Home sweet home,"He said to himself, his Brittish accent prominent. He shifted his bookbag so it rested on his shoulders better as he started up the stairs on the building, nervousness growing in his stomach. This was the first time he was living away from his foster family and honestly his first time associating with people from outside of his normal cicuit of people. When he walked in he was startled by the sight of two large dogs that were easily half his size if no bigger and he was pretty tall and not particularly consider bony either. Looking around them he spotted stairs and people and scowled."Shouldn't these kind of places be a bit more convenient?"

 

[Bree]

Lunetta ignored the ruckus behind her and continued trying to make her way up the stairs until one of her suitcases were taken. She turned to object but then blinked, looking up at the man behind her and then glancing nervously at the two dogs. But when she looked back at the man she gave him a small smile of thanks. "Second floor, second apartment. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. "


Harley watched the two go in and then something caught her eye. Blinking, she hurried in after the girl and peered at the bow, "Hey, what's this?" She asked with a smirk, turning the girl a bit to get a look at it better. It was obvious she didn't care about personal space as her curiosity had overridden such formalities.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Ciara hummed and pedaled faster on her bike. She hit the breaks and stopped on a dime in front of the building. Ciara took off her helmet and shook her hair taking it out of its bun. She then got her luggage off the back and out of the basket. "How ya doin in there komo?" Ciara asked taking out her black and white kitten. He meowed and licked her cheek. Ciara walked in with her stuff and her bike.

 

[Ananfal]

Dyr let out a soft sigh as she closed her most recent conquest - a thick book on medical advances in the last decades. She wasn't that interested in the subject, but it was one of her library that she hadn't read yet and she was growing desperate for new material. Absentmindly scratching Kamiko beneath the chin, her gaze settled upon the clock - and she bolted upright, sending the cat flying off her lap. She was late!


Several minutes later, she had hastily gathered together a few of her favorites - twenty or so books - and Kamiko, of course, then rushed out of the door, ignoring the rain. The cat securely tucked under her jacket, she arrived at her new joint apartment, shaking the raindrops from her hair as she entered the building with a sigh. "I'm on the third floor, right?" She softly asked the cat as he jumped into her shoulder, looking around curiously.

 

[Bree]

(Oh, guys, just make it up. One or two on first floor, one on second, and two couples on third. I don't really care ^^ And you all have short bios of your match ^^)

 

[twilight sparkle]

(Ok bree ^^)

 

[Axell]

He returned the smile, following her up."Life is short, but there is always enough time for courtesy,'"He quoted absentmindedly, running a finger across the rough walls."Ralph Waldo Emmerson, don't particularly like his work, but I felt the quote appropriate,"Dante said. He looked down at the two obedient dogs waiting at the bottom of the stair of the ground floor. "Kommen." He spoke, bracing himself as they came bounding up the stairs after him, knocking into one another before clumsily coming to a halt. "Second floor, was it? I think thats where I'm at too. Let me see..."He trailed off, checking a piece of paper that he pulled from his pocket. "Two and two must mean I'm with you. Its a match. "He said cheerfully, electric teal eyes visibly seeming to scrutinize every inch of her.


Rhydian, finally able to get through, looked back and called out."Coasts clear," And soon enough a little bundle of fur came racing in, so fluffy its features were unintelligible. "Atta boy, Benedict "He said, opening his arms as the black dog launched itself into his arms and licked his face. The dogs presence loosened the knot some and soothed his nerves as he bounced up the steps to the third floor. "Lets see, we're in apartment 23. That would be the third one down.....Here."He said, stopping in front of the dull gray door.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Ciara smiled and rested her bike against a wall out of the way. She rolled her luggage down the stairs and komo laid on her head purring loudly. Ciara giggled and petted him then blinked seeing a guy and his dog. "Gasp doggie!" She said stopping near the guy and his dog. "He's so cute!" Going gaga and held back from petting him. "Oh sorry. Big big animal lover. My name is ciara kudo!" Ciara said holding out her hand.

Rhydian jumped slightly as a girl with a cat approached and petted Benedict who loved the attention, and chuckled a bit embarassed. "Are you? Thats sweet. I'm Rhydian, nice to meet you. "He said with a small smile. "And this lil fellow her is Benedict. "HE saod, gesturing to the dog in his arms.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Ciara giggled and said"nice to meet you both. This is komo. He's my tuxedo cat, which is also another name for a black and white American short hair! May I pet him please?" Asking politely. Komo meowed and licked her cheek. Ciara smiled and offered Benedict a homemade doggie treat.

 

[Akio]

Cedric arrived at the apartment. He had no idea who he was set up with or even if she was here. Honestly he wasent exactly found of the entire situation but he had done it for several reasons. The first of which was to prove them wrong, such a process could not be controlled. Of course for that he had to make a honest go of it. He frowned slightly looking around seeing two dogs with a man and walking up. "Good afternoon." He said.


((Dante as there is two pairs of dogs))

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Kalista silently looked up at the building as she stood outside with Azalea in one hand and her things in the other. Sure, she was a bit chilly in her red tshirt and black skinny jeans that she dawned a red belt with. Her knee high converse helped but it didn't solve the problem. She kissed the fox's head gently before sighing. She shook her head as she walked I to the building, keeping her head low as to avoid eye contact with everyone. She slowly climbed the stairs to the third floor and looked around until she finally found her designated room. She clenched her jaw out of nervous habit and read the names on the door. "Cedric Robillard. If this works out, I'll buy you a male companion," she said to her fox before kissing her head and walking inside. She silently sat her things down by the couch and began to look around the rooms.


Jake bobbed his head up and down as Bad Company by Five Fi get Death Punch blared through his ears. He wore a black fitted lo sleeve shirt and a simple pair of jeans with his sneakers. His hair, being messed up by the wind, still managed to look good though he didn't really care. He walked into the building and instantly began to look around, keeping his confidence known. She gave a toothy smile to a few but decided it was best not to talk. He continued to listen to the music as he explored more. He soon made his way around and found his room before going inside, not bothering to look at the name. He sat his this down and went straight to the kitchen, beginning to look for food.

 

[Akio]

He passed them looking at his card again, 3rd floor so one more up. He climbed up another floor till he came to a door. His new room. He walked in not bothering to look at the name, if he was gonna meet this girl and learn her name he would learn it properly. He quickly realized someone else was here and followed the sound of foot steps till he found her. He looked at her for a moment. "Hey." He said looking at her. He couldn't help but watch the girl the government had chosen for him.

 

[Axell]

Dante looked back at the man and nodded, "Afternoon,"He said politely, giving him a once over before focusing back on thegirl.


"Sure thing, "Rhydian passed Benedisct over to her, watching as he licked her face excitedly and waged his tail.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Ciara giggled and she smiled scratching him behind the ears."so adorable!"giving him his treat. Komo hopped onto Rhydian' s shoulder and nuzzled him. Then played with his hair with his cute lil paws. Ciara giggled again and caught komo before he fell. His claws dug into her leg some through her jeans. "There you are. Sorry bout this rhydian. Good thing I took gymnastics and ballet." Raising her leg up high and lightly laid her foot on his shoulder. Komo climbed off and ciara put her leg down again.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Kali froze when she heard another voice and gently continued to per Azalea. She hesitantly turned around and gave a small smile. "Hi," she said simply before turning back around and cot I using to explore. She soon made her way back to the couch and silently sat down, closing her eyes as she became lost in her thoughts.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"This, miss, is a Yumi, a traditional Japanese bow." She jerked her shoulder, hoping that it would move the bow away from the... blond? Brown haired? Her hood made it hard to tell, but the girl who was now playing with the object. A small meow of protest, she'd forgotten her cat was inside a cat-box on her waist, well... their cats. Shirogane hadn't wanted to mess with his cat, since it tended to react negatively to anyone moving it too much. "And you are way too close."


Her brother sighed, took the umbrella, it was his anyway since she didn't have one, and started walking towards the stairs again. His sister grabbed the jacket he wore, a short glare telling him she didn't want him to leave, but nope... he shook it off and kept walking. One eye twitched, and then she said aloud "Shirogane, you are helping me with the rest of our luggage, remember?"

 

[Bree]

Lune would have been lying if she said she had thought he was an intellectual. But she liked the surprise and smiled though she again glanced nervously at the dogs. She didn't like big dogs. "Very appropriate. And you are quite the poet." She teased lightly, blushing under his gaze but meeting his with one of amused politeness. She had an air of dignity about her that oddly enough did not come off as her being 'better' but instead it was just her self-confidence.


"Japanese bow, eh? I really love the b-movies." She grinned, not seeing how that might have been offensive. When the girl pointed out she was close, Harley giggled a bit and barely moved back, putting her hands happily on her hips, "Sorry bout tha', I tend to forget. Was that a ca- Shirogane? Hey, we're Matched!" Harley grinned ear to ear like the Chesire cat and jogged up to the guy, linking their arms, "I'm Harley."

 

[Neshimo]

A guitar case in one hand, & rolling suitcase in the other, coming off the long stairs too the third floor. He would miss the skyline condo he'd been passed down by his father, & living with a female roommate he'd hadn't met at all really, would be an experience. His hair & clothes were set, a red & black striped shirt covered by a black open button jacket. Jeans, tanned to be black, yet the material now clinging too his legs from the water. A fedora, he'd loved hats today thats all. He had an umbrella prepared, yet rain soothed him, whether or not his immune system would be able to fight off being cold was the question. Still, he'd made it a bit late from just being well, enthralled with the weather for some reason, yet not enough that he didn't feel being a gentleman too the lady who, in front of the door, seemed to be just as late as he was.


The break down of just her physical physique. She was younger than him obviously, though he'd been called younger than his age as well. A darker hair than his original dark brown hair before dyed, which in fact, he'd found charming. Almost as well as it seemed she got caught in the rain, more so than him, as he just walked outside. At least well aware of what her surrounding was. Books, very intricate indeed, most of which he'd read himself already though, in fact he'd already had some delivered into the apartment before hand, just for a small bookshelf library. On her shoulder, blue eyed kitten, she had a pet. Not that he had allergies, & he loved them as well, so no harm done in the slightest, in fact, just from purely physical looks.


She was late, obviously, though he was indeed later than her, so nothing more to do than begin the gentleman's approach of introduction & intellect. After walking up towards the door, he'd place his guitar case down, his suit case against the wall, & his hat on the handle. Giving off the sincere yet still mysterious look, with a small grin on his face, "Why hello there, My name is Neshimo A. Neshi for short if your that kind who likes nick names. Sorry I'm so very late too come, it's just the weather kept me outside for various reasons." Sincerity in every word he'd say, waiting for the response given. First impressions obviously.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

One hand tightened on her bag, holding back a tiny urge to wince. It didn't matter, she couldn't know. Now to take their stuff up, walking a few paces behind the Matched pair. It was slightly amusing, actually, her brother... matched with this woman? She seemed a bit too excited for him, but... that might be for the best. How many couples... no, she couldn't do that to them... even if she was willing to bet her own future happiness. Deep breath, and then up the stairs, the same calm expression on both of their faces, despite her slightly-taller brother's looking slightly upset.


"Shirogane Yozora." He answered her curtly, holding back the itch he felt... outside, not in his room... would his new one be better? It had better be, or he'd sue the government! And manipulate stuff so he'd win! Well, no he wouldn't, but it was tempting.... A small, barely audible sigh, the woman... her arm was touching him. Which was weird, but... nothing he could do about it, unless he wanted her to... react negatively. Didn't women tend to do that?

 

[Akio]

He just watched her for a moment before going to do his own things placing his own stuff down and steeling himself for what came next. He promised himself to make a honest go of it so he would. He turned and looked at her, he had to admit she was very beautiful, though he hadent met a girl who had a pet fox. He walked out and looked at her on the couch. "Whats your name." He asked quietly, though he always spoke quietly usually.

 

[AviouslyPTX]

"Kalista Elaine Herondale," Kali said simply, deciding to go on and give him her full name. "But everyone knows me as Kali. And this is Azalea," she added quietly, smiling down at the fox. Her large ears perked up at the sound of her name and she immediately began to pounce around. Kali took a deep breath before finally looking up, really hating how green her eyes were.
