At the end of the school day, Hoshiko hurriedly gathered her things and began moving out of the school. [i]Note to self: Ditch the dang blazer! Talk about hot...[/i] Hoshiko fanner herself, regretting wearing the uniform. Almost the only class to wear them were the first years. One of the girls told her just to keep it around and she'd be okay with the administration. As she didn't really worry about getting first pickings with rooms, Hoshiko took her time with walking home and enjoying the afternoon air. With a smile on her face, she looked around the main drag of town, which she passed through on her way home, to find several shops and even a few quaint family restaurants. It all set a very nice atmosphere for the city, and excited Hoshiko. She'd definitely have to hang out here with her new dorm friends.

Making her way home finally, her father and mother were in the living room. "Welcome home, sweetheart! How was your first day?" Her mother asked. Hoshiko smiled, deciding to omit the part about having a hallucination collaboration (what a fun rhyme) with three other people. "It was great, mom! I got the list of students that'll be living in Rikkyo Hall...aaaaand I found out it's compulsory. Turns out I didn't have a choice to begin with..." She laughed sheepishly as her father took the list, and his eye twitched visibly. "Compulsory? With all of these boys? Oh, I should have a word with the faculty..." He growled, in that way father's do. The blonde girl waved her hands frantically, "No, Dad! Wait! I'm sure they've got girls and boys separate, and either way, I'll lock my door at night, just to be safe! I've already met the students from my class that'll be there, and they're all pretty nice..." It was maybe stretching the truth a bit, as they probably thought she was a nutjob aside from Yamada-san.

The burly man with dark hair and mustache sat back down on the couch, and sighed, "Alright, Hoshiko. Just...be careful, please. We couldn't bear to lose you, too." Her father said sullenly, before Hoshiko walked over to the couch and gave her dad a hug. "Remember what I said this morning? I promise I'll be alright. I'll come by whenever I can." She assured, before moving to hug her mother as well. "I better get moving if I don't want to get stuck with poor pickings!" Hoshiko exclaimed, before running into her room. Her laptop, floral magazines, a few manga, and her savings box (It had about 10k Yen), were loaded into a rolling suitcase, in addition to whatever clothes she could fit. She could always come back and get the rest.

Hoshiko said goodbye to her parents for the night, and made her way back to the school area and Rikkyo Hall. It was so detached, it was a wonder it was still in use. Entering, a few people were already there, namely Ken, Tsukiko, and Kazu, as well as a student with hair and eyes like hers that she had not met yet. Waving at them happily, she hurried up the stairs, taking note of the sign which delegated the third floor to girls. Carrying the somewhat heavy suitcase all the way up and choosing the room second to last, the young woman put her things down and started unpacking. The bright white curtains, which allowed more light in, were a very welcome sight, though she'd have to brighten the rest of the room up. She also took this chance to throw off the blazer, keeping the blue blouse.

After unpacking, Hoshiko moved to the main lobby and smiled, leaning against the wall facing the sofas. "Hey, guys!" She exclaimed, most likely a bit too happy about being forced to live with strangers for a year.
