Nuran stuck one last bite of food in his mouth as he heard Merken rush over. "umm...fine i guess.." he said as he watched some of the kids look over at his table "so..do you wanna..um..give me a tour?" he asked a bit nervous of what he would say in response. "If you dont its fine i can just go find someone else?" he said quickly as he looked around the resturant for someone else incase Merken didn't want to. He scratched the back of his head and sat down his fork and grabbed his glas.s of milk as he watched Merken.

Shundra laid on the roof and groaned as he rolled over on his back. He hadn't gotten much sleep the last night due to having nightmares every night. He hated nightmares he hadn't have a good sleep in about 3 weeks, and since then he's gotten used to the fact of being tired while still having to work. He closed his eyes for a moment and almost dosed off on the roof of one of the buildings before he quickly shook away the sleep and turned back over on his stomach, putting his head down on his hands as he watched the forest for any sign of movement.

Vik tore herself away from her work, and sighed. She wasn't hungry, but she needed a break from all the crap she'd been making. "Maybe I should..." She mumbled under her breath, and slowly wandered over to her old Antique Phonograph given to her by her now p*censored*ed grandmother. She slid her finger across the turntable of it and lifted it away to see dust on her finger. The reminicing girl wiped her hand on her pants, and pulled the arm to the record on the phonograph. An old-timey 1900's-like-song began to play. Vik smiled. That was her grandma's taste alright, even though she wasn't born that far into the past, she had a thing for vintage music. She walked away and fell onto her fabric covered bed, and listened to the record play over and over, the many tracks on it continued to play. She grabbed her grandmothers journal and began to read. "Today is the first day of 6th Grade...."

Merken gave a small knowing grin, and placed a hand on Nurans shoulder, and spinned him into a hug. "Sure! I'll give you a tour of the world and all its dark alley ways where you could easily get raped by pervy old men!...Just kidding." He announced with a smile, and earned strange and creeped out looks by other groups of teens around them. "Merken, look you're creepin the kid out! Let him sit with us... we'll show him around, hee." A big-bosomed girl giggled and Merken gave her a glare. "No, he's mine. Not yours, Ms. Breasts-fer-Brains." He growled with an intense glare. The two glared at eachother for a while, until Merken bit out a harsh comment about her face, and the girl turned to cry into her friends chest. "Man, what a retard..." he mumbled, then looked at Nuran. "Ho'kay, so how's about that tour now...?"

Nuran's face flushed red as he felt the other kid's eyes on them. He watched as Merken and the girl glared at eachother and listened as Merken commented that he 'was his'. He sighed and grabbed Merken by his shirt and started out of the resturant, making sure to thank Tarebey for the food. He turned at Merken with a sigh "ok so where should we begin?" he said as he looked around the town. Everyone was so happy here, they were so close as if they were all family, and he really liked it like this. Everyone got along and knew eachother.

Tarebey waved by at the two and exchanged a small laugh with the other cooks in the kitchen "Merken already says hes his? how soon" Tarebey mumbled as he cleaned the dishes in the kitchen. 

 Shundra was awoken by the next shift. He had forgotten that they had to switch during noon so that he could get some sleep before he would have to watch again during the night. He rubbed his head tiredly as let the guy lay down where he was "try and get some rest tonight Shun, you look tired" the guys said and Shundra agreed with him and climbed down the latter. He started back towards the apartment building where half of the people in the town slept. He walked up the stairs to the 3rd floor and stopped at room #176 his room. He opened the door and closed it softly and instantly went for the bed. A second after he rested his head on the pillow he was out like a light.

Nuran growled at him "can we just start at the places i may really need to know?" he asked as he rubbed his sore cheek. "like where im going to sleep tonight and things like that" he said as he looked at a group of teens climbing up the latters to the roof of some buildings "what are they doing up there?" he asked as he watched them. He noticed Shundra getting down from the roof and walking towards the place where everyone slept. "Wheres he going?" He asked Merken hoping he wasnt asking so much.

Nuran looked around at the building as he described them "so im guessing Lanji stays in there?" he asked pointing to what seemed to be a mayors office. He had seen Lanji head that way after he had left the resturant. "look outs huh? sounds tiring.." he said as he watched the kids climb up on the latters and lay down to where his vision of them vanished. He sighed "in your room? you have two beds in your room?" he asked as he looked up at Merken with a curious face.

Lanji cracked his knuckles as he leaned back in his seat with a sigh. He had a small smile on his face as he closed his eyes for a moment. Life was good, he thought to himself as he put his hands on the back of his head and his feet on the mayors table.

"Yeah, Lanji stays there, and I had to be a sub look out once. It's very tiring." Merken stated, trying to keep himself collected without grinning stupidly. He didn't have two beds. It took him a million times to get that through to his thoughts. Surpressing a whine, he bit his lip and glanced down at Nuran. "And...well...no, I don't have two beds..." he mumbled quickly, and slid his gaze away from Nurans. Merken hoped the kid didn't ask about the couch, he had one but it wasn't the most comfortable couch to sleep on. Plus the fact that it smells like dog. He thought to himself, while biting his lip.

Vik shook her head and sniffed, she'd just realized that she had been crying. Whether it was tears of happiness or tears of sadness, she couldn't tell nor she really didn't care. Her grandmother had been just like her. "I learned how to sew today. I love it. Becoming a seamstress apprentice was the best descision I have ever made." She read that same line about 5 times over. Smiling, Vik put down the book and turned off the Phonograph, then looked back at her sewing machine, there was something written on it: "To Viktor Lee-Anna Sonata, A Seamstress' work is never done.-Love Grandmother Sonata." She smiled, and walked over to her work, sat in the worn chair and continued her sewing.

Nuran frowned "well i guess we could figure something out once we get there.." he said as he yawned, he looked around the town before looking back up at Merken "so what do you usually do..or what should we do?" he asked as he watched a couple walk into the resturant that they had just exited from. He was a bit nervous about sleeping in the same room as Merken, though where else would he sleep? Merken had already said that the place was getting a bit crowded so he guessed he would have to just bite the bullet and go through with it.

Merken sighed and scratched the back of his head, "Well, I don't really do anything around here except sleep or read... so yeah..." he said, looking around at the sky darkening a bit.

YOUR MOM IS GONNA TIME SKIP!

 Around 8 o'clock that evening, everyone was getting prepared for dinner and already making their way to the resturaunt as usual. Merken had dragged Nuran around for a bit, showing him normal hang outs and telling him about the ups and downs of Esukeipu. He checked the time on his watch, which he wore on his ankle (It had always been a weird thing he did.) Once he saw it was 8:10pm, he pulled Nuran into the resturaunt and they looked around until Merken spotted found an empty table for them to sit.

Nuran sat down at the table and told one of the cooks, that he had found out his name was Brune, what he wanted to drink and eat. He watched the many kids pile at the tables, it was like lunch at school all over again, and soon he would have to sleep in Merken's room, and he guessed it would be probably just as messy as Vik's, though he guessed his would be piled with clothes and other things. Tarebey had brought them their food and sat it down infront of them, Nuran smiled down at the food that had been hand cooked by the cooks that worked in the kitchen. He thanked Tarebey and instantly began eating, and once again his eyes lit up. He had never had so much good hand cooked food. His parents always ordered take out, or she would forget about making dinner and just tell him to make a tv dinner. He loved it here, and he was planning to stay for a long time.

Shundra was awoken by one of the shifts. He sat up and rubbed his eyes "dinner." was all that the other guy said before he quickly walked out of the room and down the stairs. Shundra quickly got up and followed, making sure to shut the door and lock it. He got down to the resturant and could tell that he wasnt as late as he had been a few nights ago, where he had been the last one to show up. He quickly sat down at the table where Nuran and Merken had sat, making sure he caught one of the cooks and took his order. He waited at the table rubbing his eyes from his rough sleep that he had had once again.
