It had been a very distressing couple days for Ji-Yoo. Sometimes she managed to slip back into normality, but most of the time she felt this close to snapping. Being around other people didn’t make her feel okay, but somehow being alone wasn’t fine either. She couldn’t understand herself, what she needed, or why she was like this. There were a lot of things that caused this, frankly and with every day that passed, some new problem piled up on top of the already existing ones. Just how much could she take until she finally broke down?

Perhaps seeing someone she liked would make her feel better. There really weren’t many people who fit in that category, but as much as friendship goes, she felt that Demi was the closest person she could rely on. So she called. And called. But the girl didn’t pick up her phone. Ji-Yoo decided not to be a nuisance and insist too much with the calls, but… was Demi really okay? Since she had nothing else to do, Ji-Yoo decided to quickly drop by her dorm and check up on her just in case. Maybe she was just over reacting.

Once she got there, Ji-Yoo walked down the familiar halls(that she’d only ever seen once). The girl couldn’t help but wonder what it was like to live in these dorms. It certainly seemed better than her mansion which made her uncomfortable… because of all the memories it held. Soon enough she found herself in front of Demi’s room, but ringing the doorbell didn’t give her any answer. Demi was probably away… somewhere she couldn’t pick up her phone either. Well, perhaps being alone really was her curse, Ji-Yoo thought.

[Hiro]

It was mid afternoon... Hiro had gone back and forth, back and forth... looking for his egg. He'd lost it. How irresponsible could he be? Okay, so normally he wasn't THIS irresponsible... but he was sure he'd left the egg on his bed when he'd gone to take a shower. When he got out and gone to check on the egg, it was missing. Maybe it was some sort of egg thief, that would explain it! But... then how did they get into his dorm? He'd locked the door, as he always does when he's inside (and when he's not). It's like, a constantly locked door.

So the case of the missing egg brought him out of his dorm, searching for it. Maybe... maybe he was mistaken. Maybe he'd not set it on his bed... no... he would remember.

He sighed as he explored the dorms. Where did it go? It couldn't have gone far. It's not like it just... grew legs and walked off itself. Or... wait... did it finally hatch? Did his little buddy, his guardian character, appear?? That would explain a lot of things! But... not where it was.

He turned down the hall, walking down the girls' side of the dorms, peering around and looking under things, behind things, on the floors, the ceilings, the-- oh... hey, that's a cute girl.

Momentarily distracted from his Easter egg hunt, Hiro headed toward the girl. Maybe she'd seen his egg, yes... that's totally his reason for heading toward her.

"Hey you-- cute girl--" He waved idly. "Have you seen an egg around here? Like... this big-" he made a gesture, showing how big the egg was approximately. "Pink... with a cross on it...?" If questioned, he could always say he was looking for someone else... he didn't want to talk about how HIS heart's egg was... of all colors... pink.

[Ji Yoo]

Just as she was about to head off, Ji-Yoo heard someone, a male voice, calling out to her. Cute girl? What was that, another Yuki? She turned around, glancing at the senior, narrowing her eyes. Most students were intimidated/ respected the seniors, but she’d gave up on it after the Kagami incident. Most seniors were garbage and, frankly, Ji-Yoo preferred being the one to do the whole intimidating thing. And in this case, this was exactly what she was aiming for. She wanted this guy to be scared and leave her alone.

“ I haven’t seen it.” Ji-Yoo replied straight-forwardly. By the description, it seemed that this guy was looking for a heart’s egg. So he had one too huh… Though it really was none of her business. And besides, the only egg she’d seen in a long time was hers, although sometimes she felt she’d rather not want to see it. Kong-Ji had hatched long ago, but Ji-Yoo was still not used to nor liked her. What could she do to get rid of her feeling of uneasiness towards these guardians?

“ Goodbye then.” She shot the guy another indifferent look before attempting to go the way she came. If Demi wasn’t here, there really was no reason for Ji-Yoo to remain in this building. Not when she was about to become the prey of another player. Frankly, Ji-Yoo was starting to get few up with those kinds of people.

[Hiro]

He headed over as she said she hadn't seen it. "No? Damn-" He blinked as she said goodbye and started walking off. "Hey hey hey-- wait up a second--" He jogged so he could get in front of her, then he stopped right in her way. "Are you in a rush or something?" he asked, giving her a charasmatic smile. His hair was a bit wet, and a bit messy... but in a good way as he tilted his head to the side. "Is that your dorm?" He asked, gesturing to the dorm she was leaving from.

Ah yes, distractions were lovely. "Or are you looking for something precious, too?" He added, raising a brow. "If you help me look for mine, I can help you look for yours." He had no clue she was looking for a person, not an egg... but hey, he could really use the help... plus... she was cute, and he wanted to talk to her.

She seemed a bit... frigid, but that was no problem. He could still talk to her. "Unless you feel like you're too good to help a guy out when he's in a bad spot..." he added, leaning against the hallway wall, pocketing his hands. He's wearing a gudetama t-shirt with some jeans. "I took a shower, and when I got out, my egg was gone." He explained, even though she didn't ask. He just... kept talking.

[Ji Yoo]

Great. This was just what she needed. Another guy trying to cling to her. What was with all these people not getting the hint that she just wanted to be by herself and didn’t care about their shit? Jeez…”Yes, I am in a rush and no, that’s not my dorm.” She let out an exasperated sigh while continuing on her way back. Precious things… it wasn’t like what she was looking for could ever be found. It was just lost, far away into her past and there was no way of getting it back.

However, a certain little guardian character had other plans. As soon as she heard about someone losing their guardian egg, Kong-Ji came out of Ji-Yoo’s back, a horrified look on her face. “ Oh my stars! You’re heart’s egg disappeared? That’s awful!” The guardian whined. “Ji-Yoo-chan, we have to help him! What if someone stole his friend?” Kong-Ji was floating impatiently around Ji-Yoo, trying to stop her. When she realized that wasn’t working, she went to Hiro, hoping her master was at least thoughtful enough not to leave her by herself with a stranger.

Ji-Yoo let out another sigh, clenching her small hands into fists. Kong-Ji just had to get involved. She hated that side of her guardian. Nobody in this whole wide world seemed to understand that she just wanted to be ALONE.

[Hiro]

Hiro raised a brow. "Ah, my apologies, then." He bowed his head to her, though he really... didn't mean it. He was about to say something else, but then a cute little guardian character appeared! He blinked, staring at her for a moment. Reaching out, he touched one of Kong-Ji's fluffy little ears without much thought, just wanting to see how soft they were. "Wow, your ear is really soft..." He commented. Hiro, focus, bruh. Your egg is missing... no time to get distracted.

Pushing some hair out of his face, he gave Kong-Ji a charming grin. "I would really appreciate any help I can get... I think someone's egg-nabbing." Okay so he didn't really think that... but he didn't know where the egg was, in all honesty. He wasn't SUPER worried about it because the egg had disappeared before and come back later on, but... it was a good reason to talk to this girl, and she had a guardian character, too... so she could probably fill him in on some blanks. Then again, that book filled most things in... but either way!

"If you help me find my egg, I'll give you a reward." He added, to entice her. Just in case.

[Ji Yoo]

Kong Ji started giggling at Hiro touching her ears. “Ehehehe stoop it, it’s ticklish!” To the small guardian, Hiro looked like a nice guy who just needed help finding his heart’s egg, but Ji-Yoo was unnecessarily mean to him. “ Oh no, that’s awful! Kong-Ji hopes nobody stole it, though. Kong-Ji doesn’t know any bad people in Seyio…” Upon having a closer look, the boy looked handsome too. Now they definitely had to help… but ultimately, the decision was Ji-Yoo’s…

… who seemed to have none of it. She stormed back, grabbing her guardian and heading off. “ Excuse us.” The girl glared at Kong-Ji, very angry that she was again engaging her in useless interactions. But she didn’t seem to be the only angry one. Kong-Ji was shaking her little fists up and down, trying to release herself. “ Whyyy are you so mean, Ji-Yoo chan? The boy lost his friend, uhuu!” She was almost about to cry, when she made the decision. She had enough of Ji-Yoo’s mood and decided to character change her.

After hearing about the possibility of a reward, Ji-Yoo, now sporting her fluffy cub ears and tail, ran right back to Hiro with sparkly eyes. “ Will you really give me a reward? You don’t have to, but I’ll love it either way, haha!” Ji-Yoo gave him a smile almost brighter than the sun. What a contrast to the sour girl from earlier, really.

[Hiro]

Hiro smiled crookedly... how cute Kong-Ji was. "I don't think it was stolen, but I can't really think of where it would have gone..." he chewed on his bottom lip for a moment, thinking. It was at that moment that Ji-Yoo returned furiously and grabbed Kong-Ji and basically brushed Hiro off. Wow, she was not a happy camper, was she? He would've started after her, but she... wow... she chara changed.

This version of Ji-Yoo seemed very nice automatically... and it brought out just how cute she was with the sunshine like personality change. "Oh, so you're going to help me find my egg, then?" he asked, raising a brow. His crooked grin returned. "Great." He reached out, grabbing Ji-Yoo's small hand in his own. "Come with me, I'll show you where I last had it."

And with that, he headed back to his own dorm, character changed Ji-Yoo in tow. "I last saw it on my bed, but when I got out of the shower, like I said, it was gone. I've looked all over my room, but I still haven't found it... but maybe a second set of eyes will help me..." he mused. "Or a third." Because Kong-Ji was there, too.

[Ji Yoo]

Ji-Yoo wasn’t very concerned about Hiro grabbing her hand. Her character-changed self, that is. Because, deep inside, she was close to imploding. One would say that she should’ve gotten used to chara changing by now, but that wasn’t the case at all. She absolutely loathed it. “Yeah, sure, I’ll help you!” She squeezed his hand, reassuringly. “ Where are we going?” For what Ji-Yoo knew, this guy could assault her or do who knows what other stuff, but her change was so naïve, it didn’t even matter.

Soon enough, they were in his room. Good grief… Ji-Yoo never thought she’d find herself in a situation like this… ever. Luckily, if he actually tried something she could kick his ass without any problem. If she were herself, she’d already do it, in fact. “Oh, so it was here? But how could it disappear? Are you sure you left it here?” Kong-Ji jumped out of Ji-Yoo’s hair and started looking around too. “Yeah, are you sure?” Then, the guardian character gasped at the realization that she still didn’t know the boy’s name. “ Hey hey what’s your name? I’m Kong-Ji and this is Ji-Yoo chan!” She pointed to her human while Ji-Yoo made a peace sign, smiling in acknowledgement.

[Hiro]

"My dorm." He replied to her question. Then when they arrived, he nodded. "I had it on my bed, right there." He pointed to the spot on his pillow that was depressed, as if something was laying on it. "It was right there, then it was gone when I got out of the shower."

So a bit about his room. It was pretty clean, with posters up on the wall... mostly of rock bands and the like. He had a desktop computer set up at the desk, as well as a laptop. There were three guitars set up on stands, and an extra stand in the corner of his room. The fourth guitar was laid out across his bed. "Just a um-- don't touch the guitars." He commented suddenly. "Anything else you can touch." He just wanted to toss that out, just in case... because they were very expensive, and Hiro could not afford to replace them if they busted. Strings? Yes. Guitars themselves? No. The only reason he had them is because of his father trying to buy back Hiro's affections... as if he'd had them in the first place.

Either way, he glanced to Kong-Ji at the revelation that they hadn't introduced themselves. "Oh... I'm Hiro." He nodded lightly to them. "Pleasure to meet you." With that, he turned to look around the room... where did that egg go off to?? He was sure that it didn't just... sprout legs and run off. Unless... unless it hatched, and the guardian character was playing some sort of game...
