( I think I was...can't remember XD Been in so many Rps you kind of lose count and forget their names... )

Snow looked at it and smiled. It was beautiful. It made her think of the fruit of a tree with all the little branches and the emerald.
Snow then flipped to a new page on her notebook and quickly drew a large house.
She drew the old woman again but her arms were around two small children. Clutching folds of the woman's dress were more children and a child-looking Snow sitting in front of everyone in a cat-like position.
She then drew a sign above the door of the house with messy writing that read 'Mrs Takiaki's Orphanage' in big, black bold letters.
She then turned the notebook to show them, grinning to herself.

'Hmm...oh!' was all Midori managed after deciphering the work of the other girl. She then looked up at the white haired girl with a new dose of sympathy. 'So you don't remember your parents as well?'
Most of her own memories was of Ao, with his arms around her, holding her hand or just sitting with her. The ones with another people she assumed were their parents have been really blurred... But she always remembered they lacked calm and caring presence of her brother. 'Ne, was that lady nice to you?'

Snow shook her head as she began drawing a new picture. This picture was of a small baby wrapped up in a blanket in a basket. In the distance a figure could be seen walking away.
The picture was meant to represent how she was left there as a baby. She had no clue who her parents were but didn't really care.
She thought of the orphanage as her family and this her new family.

'Oh. So you don't know them, sorry to make you remember that. But...That must've been nice. I mean, to have such a big "family"...' Midori wondered, putting her head in one hand. She had nothing against her brother-he raised her with care and gave her everything she would need, always caring and with love...but when he had to leave for a longer time like during his missions for Spectrum, Midori felt really lonely and secluded, not that the villagers were mean to her, just...not a family. Midori shook her head and raised her eyes at the other girl. 'Sorry! I shouldn't have kept you from eating for so long! And I wonder-' she turned around searching the group of other people in the canteen. 'Where did Violet went to? I mean- buffet isn't on the other side of the continent...'

((oh gosh o_o sorry for not being on and missing so much! But I was banned from com (I failed two exams quite badly) and only got to use it now.... Is it alright that I continue in this rp, or do you wish that I quit?))

((Hey, Soltra, welcome back!
First of all this is a big exception, as I've already asked to post most of non-RPing posts in the recruitment section, just so you know^^ and second...
NOOOOOO, don't leave us in this age of good RPers absence/lacking!
ekhem... That was supposed to mean: 'please continue playing with us, just try to catch up what you have missed and next time try to give any sign as to why you're not present, though I understand it wasn't a situation you could plan before it actually happening, and therefore giving us a warning was pretty much impossible.' No worries, just come back to us :P ))

((Yay ^^ Anyway, I tried to catch up but I'm not sure if I got everything down.... but for now... I guess here's my post...And the lousy excuse as to why they weren;t around for like... 5 pages))

Shion blinked as they passed by Red and Alba. "...Is it just me or do they seem a little... troubled?" He asked, only to receive a snort in reply.

"Troubled? Red seemed ready to go off at any second.... while Alba... yeah, troubled would describe him." Ren said, as he pushed open the doors to the canteen. Spotting the group they had met in the library, Ren tugged on Shion's arm, dragging the other behind him as he walked up to the group. With a short bow, Ren asked them bluntly, "Now what just happened? We passed by both Red and Alba on our way here. Red seemed.... angrier than usual, and Alba seemed to be a little...."

"Displeased." Shion finished off, as he followed Ren's example and bowed. "Sorry for ditching all of you back there, we had to get some things from our rooms." The compliment added with a laugh. On his shoulder still rested Nezumi, who was eyeing the other values warily. Tori, on the other hand, was nesting on Ren's head. A funny sight it made, but Ren couldn't get the little bird to move. "So... mind filling us in?"

'A...ah, yes' Midori fought down the urge to squeal at the pets of two complimemnts instead focusing on the task of introducing her new friend. She stood up and motioned towards Snow. 'Meet Snow, she's a little new here, so mr.Alba asked me to take care of her. She's really nice.' she added as if reasoning with the color of the other girl. 'She and Red had an... accident and I guess mr Alba went to check if Red-that's his name and not only value?- don't destroy anything in his rage, and that angered him even more.' she explained as much as she could understand herself. She then turned, scanning the big group of people surrounding buffet. Upon seeing violet hair, she pointed towards them. 'and over there is Violet, I think she's also new Value. She's currently choosing her lunch I think...oh, you two should probably do that, too, before best things'll get taken' she added as an afterthought, still glancing back at the bird and mammal sitting on the compliments.

Snow waved at the new people she was introduced to. Listening to what her friend said, she then drew on her notepad and lifted it up afterwards.
On it was a angry, cartoon face of Red with cake and, what could only be guessed as noodles, on his head.
She grinned behind her notepad as she lowered it, then deciding to tilt her head to see if she could spot Violet. Not spotting the girl, she frowned. Did she get lost in the spaghetti or something? Snow thought to herself.

((Oh hey! A reply while I'm on! Let's get to responding to - whoops, distraction >< ))

In a chorus, the two boys responded with a simple, "Hello, Snow", Shion waving his hello while Ren barely gave Snow a second glance. In truth, the blue-orange compliment didn't give two whoots about the new 'recruits' as he called them - heck, he knew better. So many didn't wish to join, yet look what happened... - but Shion was another matter. The purple haired teen turned to find Violet, whom Midori pointed out.

"Oh! A new value! And purple this time! Come on, Ren! We have to get food anyway, so let's go say hi!"

"Huh wha- gah!" Before Ren could even object, he was pulled away to the buffet line, Tori flapping her wings as she was shook from her perch on Ren's head. With a squawk, it flew over to land on the table where the others sat, looking in wonder at its surroundings - despite having been there countless times before.

Waving hastily to the others as he dragged Ren along to the buffet table - with a slight laugh when Shion saw Snow's picture - Shion ran to the end of the line, for some odd reason looking excited.
