"Mmm, thank you for the welcome. I'm here just to grab the keys for my room."
"I figured as much", MANA commented, scratching the back of her head. "Usually people come here for three reasons: Either they want their keys, they have gotten themselves in trouble, or they want to fight with me. Since you're new here, you couldn't have gotten into real trouble yet, and since you don't have a Servant, you wouldn't do something as ridiculous as to fight me......the only option left is the first one."
Having said that, MANA took few papers, shifted through them, and finally emerged with a single one that held Sakuya's information, along with the key to her room. She passed it along to Assassin, who took it, and presented it to Sakuya, holding the key and paper so that there would be no skin contact between the Servant and the girl.
"You're staying in the building 12A, with two other students. Any questions?"

"Perhaps then Jacquie, you could point me to my room as well as where I could go to get somethine to drink...I am rather parched after my flight and this new turn of events does not help this burn..."
Jacques took a sudden step, and caught Rebecca by the shoulders with his other arm, pulling her closer as if they had been old friends. With his free hand, he held his walking stick, along with a single, elegant cup full of deep red liquid that had appeared from somewhere, most likely brought by his own shadow. There was a strange expression on Jacques' face. At the same time, it held some deep, clearly sinister, amusement, yet it also held something like.....understanding?
"Oh, don't try to hold it in your, dear. I can see that my answer did not satisfy you. No, not at all", the vampire said, and his eyes seemed to shine in a strange light. "As I said, if you do not know how to re-acquire your memories, then you are out of luck. That would be.....in a normal world."
Jacques' mouth turned into a sneer.
"Now, what if there was a world, where acquiring a miracle would be possible? Simply by proving yourself the one fit for that miracle, you could take it, and do whatever you wanted........even if it would be something as impossible as regaining your memories. Doesn't that sound grand?" Jacques asked, his eyes piercing to the very deepest core of Rebecca. "Now, dear, what would you say, if, for a small price.......I would put you on a path to that miracle?"

"Hermes Luck...? Who's that? And what's so mysterious about him?"
Fujou Erika looked rather surprised.
"You don't know? He's the Hermes Luck! The first Einzbern Homunculus to publicly announce himself free from his lineage and to cut his ties to the family, and especially that old man Acht, the head of the Einzbern family. They say that he is a homunculus who became real......or something to that effect. Nevertheless, he's known to be quite an eccentric character, and apparently, he owns few buildings here in OLYMPUS, especially here in Hephaestus District", the girl explained. Then she tensed up, and nodded to the direction of the street.
"T-there! Look! That's got to be him!"
The person who appeared was a tall, lithe man with extremely long, golden hair and piercing red eyes. He walked with graceful steps, as if his feet had been few inches of the ground, and carried himself with such a carefree posture that it was clear that this person held no worries at all.

"Well, I wonder if it sounds simple, maybe even stupid. But, wouldn't the best things to do be private ones? Olympus is pretty large, but there are so few masters, yet so many people....it would have to be useless if the steps were something that could be seen from far away, or if many could see you at all, right?"
"I-I think so...too. The place w-would have to be a one where no one would stumble u-upon by an....accident. Or that would be logical.....", Shizuku nodded, looking a bit flustered that Zero had gotten so excited about what she had said.
Kimiko, on the other hand, did not seem even to mind the conversation. She was more occupied with the food.
"If......if one started searching those places, one at time, there would eventually h-have to be a....."lock" of sorts to be f-found......but, without a key, there-"
SLAM!
The door of the kitchen slammed open with a noise that shut Shizuku up immediately, and rang the windows of the room. Daisuke, with a absolutely furious look on his face, gazed upon the scene in the kitchen. Especially his eyes were concentrating on Shizuku and Zero, and he simply seemed to pass his gazer over Kimiko's small figure before him.
"Shizuku. Out", Daisuke ordered coldly.
"B-b-but, I-"
"Out."
The tall girl retreated before the small boy's voice could grow any heavier, and escaped from the room, hiding her face from all the people in the house. This left only Daisuke, Zero, and still-eating Kimiko in the kitchen. And it was no surprise whom Daisuke was glaring most furiously.
".......I thought we already discussed this, Chiba-san", he started, sounding deceivingly calm.

"Eh, excuse me...Do you know any goog shopping centre around here? Also you know where's a bank? I need to withdraw some pocket money and that stuff."
"The shopping mall can be found in the northern part of the Demeter Market, near the Business District", the random passer-by answered. "And you can find various banks around the main street here, along with some ATMs."

"Oh, this sign? I'm actually on a recruitment drive for the Literature Club, since I'm a member of the said club and the President needs four more members to prevent the club from closing down. To be honest, Miss von Einzbern, I really wanted to recruit you, but since you said that you were being forced to into another club you know nothing about, I guess I won't try to recruit you anymore."
Vielya grimaced to herself.
"W-why do I suddenly feel like I'm the bad guy here....?" she asked, mostly to herself. However, Caster was kind enough to provide an answer for her.
"Because you are?"
"S-shut up! I'm not a bad guy! I'm not sure why everyone thinks that way!" Vielyna protested, before scratching her head furiously, as if trying to wrack her brains. Eventually, it seemed like she came to a decision.
"Aaah, damn it! No matter how I would escape from here, it would make me look bad! Fine! Fine!" Vielyna extended her hand towards Juliana, looking a bit miffed. Though only towards herself. "Give me one application sheet. It's not like I have anything better to do, anyways."

"Among the Fujous, a great number suffers from some kind of illness, and takes something for it. Shiranui-san is right, there is nothing to apologize for. As long as we are together, you can count that we will share your burden when you must need it, as I'm sure you do the same with many of us, as the Dormhead and as a person. This has just made me want to help you more."
"....I am grateful to you, Rei-san", Suzuka-hime said with a warm voice, and a gentle smile on her face. "It warms my heart to know that such a kind person has entered our ranks."
There was a moment of silence, during which Fujou Suzuka seemed to both collect herself, and ponder something. Finally, she spoke up.
"I know that most likely, even though I have advised you not to, you will try to find out more about the enemy of our clans. However, please, Rei-san......what I want is for you to promise me that you will not, under any circumstances, endanger your life. No, rather than just specifically about that, I want you to apply that promise to whatever you do here in OLYMPUS. Even if you manage to become a Master, and summon your own Servant, I ask you.....please do not put your life on the line, unless you feel like there is no other way."
Shiranui looked upon her Dorm Head.
"Suzuka-hime....." she said, and it seemed that there was something in her tone that only the Dorm Head could understand.
"....The deaths here in OLYMPUS are already too many, after all."

"McKlennington? The Roselia McKlennington? It's a honor to meet you, Señora."
Roselia gave a good-hearted laugh.
"I am hardly worthy of being addressed as "The" Roselia McKlennington. I am but a magus jus like everyone else in here", she spoke, with a smile on her face.

"Now I don't mean to be hasty, but could either of you ladies tell me where my room is?"
"Now, let's see.....If I recall correctly, your room can be found in the floor number 7. However, I am not sure what room number it was.....Lassy? Could you fetch the key and the papers for me?" Roselia turned to look at her advisor, who nodded sharply.
"Y-yes! Right away, Ms. Roselia!"
And thus, the younger girl hurried to the staircase.
"Now, Mr. Diaz...", Roselia looked at the boy again. "How have you found your first day in OLYMPUS? I hope it has been pleasant, nevermind the....event....just now."

"Hello, this is Katsuhiro Asakami! I have arrived!"
"Ugh.....yes, yes, I'm coming.....right away...." a very tired voice answered from behind the door.
The door slid open, revealing the room of the Dorm Head behind it. It looked a rather well-furnished room, with dozens of expensive looking guitars hanging on the wall, around with few Gold Records and other "trophies" of music world. Along with the guitars, there were few other instruments in the room too, like drums and bass, though they did not seem to have been in use too much. In addition, the rest of the room looked like it had been transported here from the 70's, what with the flashy colors, funky designs, or the white and furry carpet.
The person who had opened the door was a young man with blue, spiky hair and very, very tired expression. He had bags under his eyes, almost as black as the half-cloak with sleeves that he wore, which had a single Chinese symbol in it's back.
"....I am the Dorm Head of the Asakami Dor-" the young man broke into a huge yawn. "......Dormitories. The name's Asakami Kazuya. How can I help you?"
