[Wingardia] No. 152

[Oni_Makibi]

Wingardia room number 152 belongs to Oni Makibi. Opening the door, you immediately see the black wooden desk on the other side of the room straight in front of you. You can see a small reading lamp on the far left upper corner of the desktop. Several books line the shelves placed on the bottom right of the desk. The desk itself sits in front of the wall under the large window looking out across the campus. Looking under your feet, you will find a dark purple carpet.

To your far left sits the black wooden dresser. It is about five feet tall holding seven drawers, each holding neatly folded clothes placed in order from head to toe. One could reach into each drawer and find an article of clothing for each part of the body working their way down. Next to the dresser you will find a black wooden vanity where Oni has placed hair items such as combs, brushes, scrunchies, and clips. The drawers of the vanity hold more personal feminine necessities.

On the other side of the desk, to the right, you will find Oni's queen sized bed covered in a dark purple blanket. Underneath this blanket lay two black sheets: one to cover the matress and the other to use on warm nights when the large top blanket isn't necessary. The four pillows are the same color as the purple blanket and lay against the black wooden headboard.

Further to the right of the room, you will find the walk-in closet. Oni hasn't had much use for it since all of her clothes sit in her dresser. For now, all that sits in the large space is the suitcases she brought with her.

Adjacent to the closet is the standard bathroom complete with toilet, sink, and shower stall. Compared to the rest of the dorm room, it is much brighter due to the clean white walls and floor. Oni plans to change that on a later date. The bathroom mirror holds only Oni's toothbrush. So far, she has had no use for medicine. Under the mirror sits the sink and cabinets. One will find various cleaning tools and fluids in the cabinets. On the far wall, the shower stall sits next to the towel rack. In between the sink and shower sits the toilet. An electric air freshener adds a little decoration as well as fragrance to the otherwise dull bathroom.

It was mid-afternoon when Oni finally awoke. Besides a slight headache, she didn't feel the effects of sleeping outside on the ground. She was suprised to find that Tetsuo was fully awake and standing in the middle of the room.

"...'bout time you woke up. What's on the agenda for today, tour-guide?"

"Hey, don't call me that. I was just being nice. I figured since I was weird enough to memorize the map of the school in the first day, I should help others... and this is the thanks I get... besides, one of the students might know something about the guys that have your body."

"Yea, only we haven't found that student yet. Tetsuo sighed as he turned towards the door. Oni then pulled back the sheets and climbed out of bed. Quickly choosing her clothes, which consisted of slim jeans, a black mini tank top, and a denim jacket, she bathed and dressed herself.

"Let's go for a walk, father...."

Without giving Tetsuo a chance to ask questions, Oni scooped him up and they left the room.

Oni carried Tetsuo on her back and entered the room; weary, but worried. She knew she was tired, but the thoughts in the back of her mind would not allow her to rest. Suppose she was the one that escaped... what would that mean exactly? Is it because of her that Tetsuo's body had been taken away? She didn't want to think about that. She only wanted to find a way for them to live a normal life again.

Oni carefully layed Tetsuo on the pillow of the left side of the bed, and changed into a large t-shirt in which to sleep. The room was a little cold so she slept under the blankets this time. Despite the thousands of thoughts and possibilities running through her head, Oni found herself slip into sleep.  

[Oni_Makibi]

Oni awoke slowly. When she opened her eyes, she found Tetsuo was still asleep. Looking over to her digital clock, she found that it was about 8a.m. She then layed on her back and began to think.

What if we can find the facility where they were conducting these experiments... it's most likely the place where they took Tetsuo's body. Oni carefully layed out a plan. They would find this facility, somehow get to where they're keeping his body, and then he can return his soul to its rightful home. It seemed so simple, but Oni knew better. She knew it would be dangerous, seeing how the experiments were obviously still active. There would be tight security there without a doubt.

Oni decided then that she would act. She would find the facility and work from there. After her ritual bathing and dressing, Tetsuo was fully awake. He took some time getting ready and they both headed toward the Dining Hall for breakfast.

Feeling she had done all she had to do at the campus, Oni finally made her way back to her own room. She opened the closet and picked up a medium-sized backpack that she used in order to move her things to Ria. She opened it and gathered only two sets of clothing and the bare necessities. She didnt expect to be gone for long, but she didnt want to be under-prepared.

After filling up her bag with things she felt she needed, Oni realized that they would also need food and water. She sighed as she picked up the bag and set Tetsuo on her shoulder. She then picked up another bag to tie around her waist; that would be for their food supply.

Closing the door, Oni wrote another note and taped it at eye-level on her door. It said, "On a journey". Having done that, she headed back to the Dining Hall.

Tetsuo decided to take a rest while Oni went off on her own. After being out of his body for so long, he had to recover. He took a long look out of the window before closing the curtains. He had already promised Oni that he would stay on campus with her, but he would have to get used to people all over again. It was easy when he was a panda, but being in his normal body reminded him of worse times. He shook his head as he slipped into bed, quickly falling asleep.  

[Oni_Makibi]

Tetsuo slipped into bed immediately after Oni opened the door. Oni sighed as she placed her daggers onto the desk and wrestled off Tetsuo's shoes. It was amazing that he was asleep already, but it didn't suprise her. Oni wasnt quite ready to go to sleep, so she sat in her desk chair and looked out the window. It was close to midnight and the moon was high above the campus. It was then that the events of the past couple of months began to sink in. Her whole purpose for coming to Ria had been fulfilled in a very short time, but she was not ready to leave just yet. She enjoyed being there and planned to continue being a student. As she was thinking of how life would be from now on, she fell asleep at her desk.  

[Oni_Makibi]

It was around mid-afternoon when Tetsuo finally awoke. He was feeling much better now that he had the proper rest since being reunited with his body. A quick look around the room was all he needed to see that Oni had already left. "Most likely with Bukotsu..." he said as he lifted the blankets and went to take a shower before leaving out himself.  

[Oni_Makibi]

Oni woke as the first rays of sun illuminated the room. She took a moment to rub her eyes clean before turning over towards Tetsuo. His pale face was pushed almost completely into the pillow. Oni could see the lines from the folded material of the pillow case had embedded into his nose. She smiled as she brushed aside a few strands of hair that had fallen over his eye. It had been a few months since the incident had blown over and Oni wanted to forget all about it and try to live a normal life.

"Wake up, Tetsuo. The day is starting..." she said as she gently nudged him on the shoulder. His lips fell open as his body began to turn. His left eye popped open while the right one lazily struggled to react. Realizing he was being summoned, he turned towards Oni.
"..... Do we have anything planned for today?" he slurred.
"Nothing in particular... just the normal things. And don't say that's not a reason to get up 'cuz it's not healthy for you to sleep for so long anyway." During her lecture she got up and started to reposition the sheets and pillows on her side of the bed before taking a folded towel out of the drawer. "I'm taking a shower. Make your side of the bed." she said as she closed the door to the bathroom.

Tetsuo turned onto his back and stared at the ceiling. Bringing his hand to his forehead he thought about the dream he just had. In it, he expressed his love to Oni. For the past few years, he had begun to grow more attached to the girl he found in the woods almost eight years ago. He wanted so much to reveal to her his inner feelings, but he didn't know how. The "perfect opportunity" had not yet presented itself. He had just decided to try a more spontaneous approach when Oni emerged from the bathroom. A flood of steam and hot air followed her as she made her way into the room. To Tetsuo's suprise, and dissapointment, she had already dressed herself in the bathroom. He watched her throw the wet towel into the hamper and turn towards him with a slightly irritated look on her face.

"Do I have to drag you in there and bathe you myself?"
"Actually, I'd prefer that..." Tetsuo mumbled as he got up and grabbed a towel.
"Excuse me?" she said, raising an eyebrow.
"Nothin'." he quickly replied as he closed the door. Oni could hear the water being turned on. She grabbed her holster and put it on before sitting at the foot of the bed. I wonder what it would be like if we were lovers... she thought to herself. Oni began picture several scenarios while she made Tetsuo's side of the bed. She must have taken several minutes to complete the task because she still wasn't done when Tetsuo came out of the bathroom. Unlike Oni, he didn't lay out his clothes in the bathroom the night before, and the cold morning air made him pay for being unprepared.

"It's freezing!! he screeched as he hurried to put his on clothes, not caring that his towel had dropped to the floor.
"That's why I dress in the bathroom where it's still warm..." Oni quickly looked away just as Tetsuo's towel fell to the ground, just barely missing his bare bottom. He was quickly dressed, however, and ready to go. After agreeing to head to the cafeteria for breakfast, the left together.
