A fiery romance? Wow...the thought was pretty shocking and exciting all at the same time! Hoshiko blushed a bit before sitting down at her seat, while the others went about their business. They even got some answers, vague as they were. Still. everything was too surreal...now they were being asked to go on a journey for answers? It was just so crazy...

Hoshiko gasped a little when the blue key appeared in her hand, and the door appeared at the side of the room. So they could come back whenever they wanted? Well, that'd be handy, as Hoshiko had plenty of things she wanted to know. She made a mental note to pay a visit to the docks whenever the chance presented itself. They all began to file out of the room through the new door, leading Hoshiko to awaken with a start in her bed. The Velvet Room and Priscilla were incredibly vivid in her memory...much more than a dream. Looking at the note on her desk, she remembered the meeting at lunch. Throwing on a light pink skirt, cork sandals, and a long sleeve white blouse after her shower, Hoshiko put her hair back in a pony tail with a flower tie, and headed off to school.

Classes were normal, and nothing unusual occurred. [i]Thank goodness...[/i] Hoshiko sighed mentally, thankful that the Hour of Reflection didn't ruin the school day for her and the others. Lunch came soon enough, and Hoshiko began making her way to the meeting spot on the note left by Touko. She had to double back to get her lunch, though, so it took her a bit longer. When she arrived, only Cruz, Tsukiko, Kazu, and Touko herself was present. Hoshiko frowned a bit...had the others decided to ignore the note, or had they just gotten held up? Either way, Hoshiko was eager to hear what the first year, and everyone else, had to say. "Hey everyone! Wow, not a huge turnout, huh?" Hoshiko said, before sitting against the wall and taking out her boxed lunch.
