[There are two reasons it's obvious that Elizabeth has been here a while without people realizing it. She looks comfortable, sitting in one of the student areas with her deep blue phone set on the table nearby, along with two bottles of nail polish from the convenience store and what looks like a pack of cards. The other reason is that her uniform, while it matches everyone else's in style, has been dyed blue. The first thing she'd done upon arriving was to search out powder dye at the store and make her new outfit more her taste. It came out surprisingly well, and she's happy with it for the time being.]

[So she's sitting painting her nails, her lack of long gloves a bit disturbing to her. She's painting them blue, of course, though her middle fingernails have already been finished in a bright yellow that matches her eyes.]

This is positively delightful. I've never owned a cellular phone before, though I have inspected one on my trips into the human world. I only hope my usage is correct, LOL. (That is the term is it not? "Loud Outlandish Laughter"?)

[Blue girl, meet blue boy.]

[Hinata, having skipped class most of the week, was forced to go to classes today. He usually didn't bother, but the student council tended to get irritable if you skipped too often, so here he was.]

[The smell of nail polish is unusual, though... the NPCs wouldn't be so brazen as to bring it to class, so he looks around for the source, seeing a girl in a blue uniform. No way... No NPC would do that.]

[Realizing this, he whipped around in his seat, shouting out in the middle of class:] You're human!?

[welcometothevelvetroom]

[Elizabeth tilts her head up at him, stroking a fresh brush of polish over her thumb nail.]

My, what a way to greet a lady! What would your mother say? Tehe!

I'm afraid I'm not...

[frequent_flyer]

[Finally getting a proper look at her, he was stricken silent when she spoke to him.]

[She was unreasonably good looking.]

[He broke his end of the awkward silence, persisting in his previous line of thought.] You're not... human? But you're not an NPC...

[Seeming to forget that class was actively in session, the teacher cleared his throat loudly to try and get Hinata to be quiet.]

[welcometothevelvetroom]

[Elizabeth doesn't know how normal classroom conduct happens, so it's not like she knows any better as she laughs.]

I don't see any peas! Is that a figure of speech?

[frequent_flyer]

[He goes to talk again, to ask her what she's even talking about. Apparently, the play on words is completely lost on him. However, the teacher shushes him.]

[A few moments later, he's discreetly passing her a handwritten note.]

if youre not human than what are you??

[welcometothevelvetroom]

[She looks it over, before writing back to him in big, looping cursive. The ink is blue, of course;]

I reside in the Velvet Room, with my Master. At least, I did! He's sent me here for the time being.

[frequent_flyer]

[Velvet room? Master!? Was she... that kind of servant?!]

[He glanced over at her, obviously stunned. She was very pretty... he wouldn't exactly be surprised if some creepy guy wanted to keep her, but how could she be okay with that!? Unless of course, he was reading the situation totally wrong, but what was the likelihood of that?]

[Nervously, he passed back another note.]

what kind of master??

[welcometothevelvetroom]

My Master is my Master. We reside in the Velvet Room, awaiting long anticipated guests.

[Elizabeth that's not helping the assumption.]

[frequent_flyer]

[Oh my god. This chick must be wild. Hinata felt himself sweating nervously, scribbling out another message.]

what do you do with the guests

[welcometothevelvetroom]

I offer them my services, of course.

[mightletyouknowme]

[Sena's a little surprised to see someone painting their nails in front of everyone, so much so that she stops in front of her, trying to subtly look at her own nails.]

What are you doing?

[The real question is 'Why are you doing that here?' but that isn't what comes out.]

[welcometothevelvetroom]

Mmm?

[Elizabeth looks up at her as she begins the second coat, smiling.]

I found this delightful polish at the "store of convenience" earlier. Isn't it absolutely the perfect color?

[mightletyouknowme]

It's cute. [She'll agree but it is still strange to see someone doing it in the open.] Blue's a cute color.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

Isn't it! I absolutely love the color blue.

I do think it looks the best on me, unlike that drabby brown I was forced into! Such punishment!

[mightletyouknowme]

Brown could go cute with your eyes but you'd need some pink, too. [Sena only knows a little about fashion but she knows what colors she likes.] Do you have any more?

[welcometothevelvetroom]

Dreadful colors, those. Imagine how they'd clash!

[She nods though, and soon... different shades of blue! and some purples are sitting on the table in front of her.]

[mightletyouknowme]

Huh? They can be cute together! [Even if she doesn't prefer them.]

I-I can do it too, so it won't look so weird if you're doing it alone.

[junesprince]

actually its Laughing Out Loud but I guess thats close enough.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

It is not out loud if it's typed into the phone, though. Or is it?

[junesprince]

idk. I dont think most ppl even actually LAUGH when they say it anyways.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

They do not? Then I cannot understand the purpose of using it, LOL.

[junesprince]

Well no, not always. [...that makes him wonder if she actually laughs every time she types it!] I think sum ppl just use it to show their in a good mood.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

[Elizabeth does. She makes sure to let out a loud laugh every time she types it. Rules of the internet, right?]

I'm quite often in a good mood, though! Should I use it all the time?

[junesprince]

sure, if you want. its not like ne1 can tell u how to type.

[If... the way he texts wasn't a pretty good indication.]

text;

[accurately]

Slang like "LOL" isn't necessary even if you're typing. It's better to just speak properly.

[welcometothevelvetroom]

I see! I do try to be proper, I am a lady you know!

Will you provide anymore useful information?

[accurately]

What kind of information are you looking for?

[ She's agreeing with him, so she's already got a toe in the door with him. Just a toe though. ]

[welcometothevelvetroom]

Any sort, I've only just arrived. I've been told it is a human Afterlife, but that's the extent of things. Luckily I've managed to amend the dreadful outfit I was given, but I lack my Compendium so I'm at a loss of what to do. c:(

(The small c is my hat!)

[accurately]

I only arrived shortly before you, so if it's in regards to this place I'm not going to be able to help.
