luck . . .

*Yan was on guard again because Komrui though she was good luck for new Exorcists. She was in a high place though the moon was full and appeared be hind her while the ground was covered with mist and golems, Yan still sighed because she didn't like to be hear*

The exorcist let out a breath of relief before she brushed herself off and patted herself down to rid her uniform of the patches of dirt and dust that had stained it. She blew some stray strands of raven and white from her face as she straightened up, her coat free of stains. The climb up the side of the famed treacherous cliff of the Black Order Headquarters was, indeed, treacherous, and the leather of her boots had a few nicks in them from the roots and sharp stones that they had rubbed up against, much to her disliking. Crystalline blue gazed up at the tower-like castle, a small smile adorning the girl's features, before she began walking towards the odd looking gate, or, at least what she hoped was the gate. It was a bit awkward looking, what with the giant face on it... Was it just a decoration...? If so, it was an odd one.

She was more or less excited to have finally arrived at the headquarters, after all, the last time she was here was quite a few years ago. The exorcist's smile widened slightly at the thought of seeing some of her old comrades again and meeting new ones and it gained a melancholic touch at the thought of not seeing a few, if not several, of her comrades again. Hopefully, the majority of them had not been lost to this war that didn't seem to be going anywhere. It was obvious in these times that this long battle was not going in favor of the Order, but they were all determined to persevere no matter what. She couldn't determine whether that thought was comforting or discouraging, but she was bound to this seemingly endless war, whether she liked it or not. She'd already realized that fact many years ago...

*Yan saw some one come close to the gates but didn't do anything yet, sins the gate was still in need for improvement and Needs to get fixed she had to be hear, because Allen was on a mission otherwise he would watch the Gate. Yan sighed as she watched the Girl from were she was*

*Yan thought that by now the girl would know she was there. . . or not, the moon still shined from behind her as a nice braze brushed by*

The exorcist blinked and directed her attention towards the closest golem. Her gaze flickered back towards a shadowy figure on top of the gate before returning to the flapping object in from of her. She shifted her weight onto one leg from the other so that she was more comfortable before she began speaking. It was kind of awkward, speaking through golems, she never did quite get used to it, even if she had one of her own, which was tucked safely away in her pocket. It was a standard golem from the previous generation, so she would need a replacement. It would probably make communication much more easier.

"Uhm... Hello there, I'm Shirayuki Nagareboshi, an exorcist that was transferred here form the Asian Branch head quarters. A letter should have been sent in advance to someone named Komui Lee...? I believe that he's the director and would like to have an audience with him," she said. Ick. When did she start talking so formally...?

*Yan jumped down "The Asian branch, . . "She said then turned her head to one of the golems "Well?" She asked*

*Komui seamed to be drinking coffee again because all you could her is him slurping it for a while "OI" Yan yelled then he stopped "hummm" He said as he looked at the desk full of letters "You!" he shouted as he randomly pointed to some one "Go look for the letter" then slurped as he drank again. Yan growled at him threw the Golems "I'll look for it too~~~"he said in a happy tone*

Shirayuki stood in silence, turning partly to nod in greeting at the girl that had just appeared... From what she'd heard for branch director Bak, Komui was a very eccentric man that was very messy, rarely ever did his work and had a major sister complex, though she never did really quite understand what that meant. Well, all that she could do at the moment was wait for him and whoever he'd spoken to to find the aforementioned letter. He seemed as eccentric as Bak had claimed... This would be an interesting stay here at the HQ.

"...."

After the consistent sound of shuffling papers and mutterings and more than a few curses, there was an 'Ah ha! I found it.' It sounded as though someone was panting... There was the sound of fluttering papers as Komui's voice came through once more.

"Well, read it, man!"

"I-it says... 'Hey, Komui. I've got an exorcist that will be transferring over soon. Her name's Shirayuki Nagareboshi. Don't kill her.

At this, a look of confusion flickered across her face before an emotionless mask settled over her features as she waited patiently for something to happen.

"Yang-chan~~~"Komui said "is he back yet?" Yan said cutting komui's words off "no" he answered back "fine" Yan said as she closed her eyes as the air around them started moving*

*She then put her right hand out in front of her "take my hand please" Yan said as she opened her eyes, they started to glow a nice mix of the moons light and gold light from her own*

Shirayuki arched a brow at this, but took the proffered hand anyways, deciding that it was probably for the best. Transfers were always a pain, and most of the time she just wanted to get everything done and over with and get a good night's sleep safe in a proper bed after several long days of travel from boats and trains... She remained silent and looked a bit curiously at the odd and otherworldly glow that the eyes of... Yang? Or whatever Komui had called her had. It was... interesting.

*Yan's aura flowed onto her as the air moved faster making anything loss move.*

*The aura then disappeared and Yan took her hand off "Your clear, . . .do you want me to show you around to night or tomorrow morning?" She asked as the air went back to normal, as well as her eyes*

The girl shrugged lightly. She'd been to HQ before when she was being apprenticed by general Tiedoll, but God knew if they'd knocked down a few walls or built more up in her several years of absence. It would probably, no, definitely be a good idea to take a tour of the place. Since she was probably going to end up being lost if she needed to go somewhere in the middle of the night for whatever reason, it would also definitely be a good idea to have the tour today. Hey, it was better to be safe than sorry, right?

"Tonight would be a good idea, I suppose."

"Alright" Yan said as she started to walk passed the stairs and in to a BIG hall way with lots of pillars. If you looked to the right you would see two people standing there . . .watching you as well as over hearing every thing*

Shirayuki followed in silence, as usual... As she looked around the halls, she could find somethings that were familiar and others that weren't... She could recognize several dents in the walls from old events, like when a fight broke out between two exorcists. It was a bit strange, how everything was the same, yet different... She'd almost expected to see the familiar faces of a few of the finders that she'd befriended when she was younger, but then again, with the lack of protection that the finders had, that was just wishful thinking....

*Yan turned her head to see Shirayuki look a little troubled "What's wrong?" She asked as she stoped walking and turned her body around to face them*

Shirayuki blinked, brought out of her small reverie by Yan's question. She smiled, and shook her head to show that it was nothing before she spoke," It's nothing, I was just thinking about the last time I was here. It's... a lot more emptier now than it was back then," she said, her smile taking on a melancholic twinge.

"oh, really"-Yan smiled- "the I guess it's a big change for you?" She asked wondering what it was like back then at the order*

Shirayuki nodded, twiddling her fingers slightly. Well... it wasn't empty, really, it was even more crowded than when she'd been there last. It just felt emptier because she didn't know any of the people that they were passing. It made her feel a bit bad...

"It really is..."

*Yan didn't say any thing, she continued walking again*

Shirayuki fell silent, too, her smile fading. She looked around the halls, memorizing certain 'landmarks' that could keep her from getting lost later on. She'd recognized a few statues and paintings and other such decorations which helped her refresh her memory of the Head Quarters more. It was a good thing she had good memory... At the moment, she was having trouble deciphering whether or not she was happy or sad... Damn Bipolarity and it's ridiculous quirks.

"...It'll take a while for us to adjust to all of these new things... We're in for a long first couple of weeks... I can just tell," she mumbled, more to herself more than anything else, going nuts with her singular and plural once more.

*Kaele sighed as she walked farther from the cafeteria, wishing that both Lavi and Allen hadn't left. She was all alone.*

*She spotted Yan with somebody else, but she didn't care.* "Yaaan! I thought you were on guard duty until early morning!" *Kaele ran up to the two with a big smile. (Kaele had to hold herself back from practically jumping Yan.) She glanced over at the new girl, who looked like she'd climbed up the side of the cliff.* "Oh? Who's this, Yan?"

*Yan stopped went she heard her name" Kaele?" she whispered to her self as she got closer " that is Shirayuki she transferred from the Asian branch, and Kanda is taking over till i get back, then I'll take some of his time of being the Guard to pay up" She said to Kaele*

Shirayuki smiled politely at Kaele in greeting, nodding lightly. She hoped that she didn't look too bad or anything and that she was at least presentable... After all, she couldn't tell if there was any obvious splotches of dirt on her anymore... Well, whatever, that didn't matter at all, really. She held her hand out for Kaele to shake as she spoke,"It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm Kaele Nakamura, and it's nice to meet you too, Rayuki-chan! Is it alright if I call you that?" *Kaele asked politely, hoping to not offend the girl by messing with her name.*

"I'm surprised Yuu-chan did that for you." *She whispered to Yan with a giggle, having adapted some of Lavi's ways.*

"you think so?" She asked thinking "but I do have to pay up for it, and he likes to be a lone" She continued while looking at Kaele*
