Leonard peeked into the inn, half-expecting it to be empty. He motioned for his brother to follow, and he did so timidly: hiding behind his older brother's coat. It was the kind of hiding that he hardly expected to work. Hans was too big to rely on Leonard to conceal him. Nonetheless, he trailed in behind him, eyes wandering about the foyer of the Inn. They approached the front desk and Leonard rang the service bell.

"I want you to stay very quiet," Leonard warned his brother. "We don't want to call too much attention to ourselves. If anyone asks who we are, just let me do the talking." Hans simply nodded, a pout forming on his face. He hated all this secrecy...

(Sorry about vanishing)

Mikki leaned on the railing at the top of the stairs with an amused look on her face "suddenly so full of life" she said starting to walk down the stairs. She watched Kyra with the staple gun "are you safe with that thing?" she giggled "don't go pointing it at anybody" she jumped down a step an sat down, waving to the new comers "Hey, I'm Mikayla but I prefer Mikki" she moved her feet around on the step below causing her trainer to come off and bounce down the remaining steps. So many new people all at once, Mikki hoped that she would be able to remember who everybody was or even if they were friendly she hoped they were friendly. Mikki doesn't do well with unfriendly people.

"i'll only point it at the dead and yea its safe" Kyra joked "im kyra welcome to the Inn" she welcomed the two "are you brothers because you look alot alike" she turned her head back to the chair and continued to apulster the chairs and moved onto the chairs "Mikki if you want you may check the guestd in" Kyra offered

"Hello, Mikki and Kyra," Leonard said, attempting to smile, but failing, as her shoe tumbled down the stairs. "Me and my brother need a place to stay." He looked around at the state of the inn, once again surprised that there was anyone there. This place seemed to be in need of renovation, but it was certainly better than sleeping in the gutter like they had been lately. And with the amount of money he had acquired under mysterious circumstances, making this his base of operations was probably smart.

"Yup! We're brothers," Hans said, receiving an angry glare from Leonard. He immediately sank down behind his brother's coat again. Hans was just glad to be in a place where he could potentially sit down. They'd been walking, running, hiding, and sleeping with one eye open for the past few days now and as much as he liked being active, it would be great if he could lay down and close both eyes for more than five minutes.

alice smiled so many people "looks like were not alone brother while your ghost hunting im going to go make friends." she walked over to Mikki and smiled "hi im alice." she wasnt shy in the least a scardy cat but not shy "can i sit beside you." she looked at her brother who was going to check in.

alex was beside Leonard waiting to check in "hey." he didnt say much because leaonard didnt look like much of a talker.

Very tentatively, Leonard gave him a wave. "Uh... hi," he said, wondering why he was talking to him. He supposed that perhaps people were just friendly in this area. If it were anywhere else, perhaps, he would not have been so... welcomed.

"Really? Sweet!" Mikki said getting of the stairs and practically bouncing over to the check-in desk and climbing over it again. She gave her best check-in girl smile and offering the book to Leonard "is there a specific room number you would like?" she looked over at Alice on the stairs "I'll be back over there in a minute when I've checked you guys in" she smiled. Mikki was always up for doing something new, and she quite liked climbing over the desk. Mikki started looking at the wall of keys behind her "honestly I didn't think there was going to be anyone else here, there wasn't when I arrived and then suddenly bam people" she said moving her hands around still with her back to the other people.

"Just any room," Leonard replied nervously, eyeing the stairs and the entrance. "Something out of the way," he added as an afterthought.

"Ooo," Hans piped up, regardless of what he knew his brother would say. "Maybe there's something going on in town! Like a festival or something." Hans liked festivals, or anything that got him out of the house, really. He could hide during carnivals and such. A lot of people walked around without shirts on at places like that. He fit right in.

"Oh ok, errm" Mikki wiggled her fingers around the keys "ip dip doo, cats got fluu, dogs got chicken pox and I pick you!" she grabbed a key "room 10 do?" she asked turning around putting the key on the desk in front of him. She looked at Hans "I haven't heard anything and Ikki didn't say anything about anything going on, you know about anything Kyra?" she asked looking around the people at the desk. Mikki turned to Alex "Your turn" she said holding out a pen to him "you got any requests?" she smiled.

[ Gaah! Sorry I was gone all day. I had to go to the clinic ]

Ikki smiled seeing Mikki taking care of the work. "Thank you Mikki. I can take it from here." Ikki wanted to seem like she actually did some kind of work. Though she had virtually no idea how to work the place she had to keep up the act. "I appreciate the help Mikki." SHe pulled out another book and began writing information down.

alex just looked as calm as ever "can we have two rooms next to each other we dont really like staying in the same room we get along but not that well." he looked at alice who stuck her tounge out at him "see what i mean she is alittle bit of a brat." he pulled out his wallet "so how must is both rooms." he didnt really see money as anything since their parents died he got a huge amount to keep care of her.

alice sat down on the stairs waiting for her brother to get the keys she couldnt wait to get to bed and sleep for once it had been awhile since she slept.

Mikki released the pen to Ikki "any time" she smiled and climbed over the desk another time and moving back to the stairs she sat on the third step up leaning her elbows on the fourth step. Suddenly she turned to Alice "Oh! hey Ikki and I are goin to the forest tomorrow you want to tag along?" she said holding her hand out with the palm up "I mean you know if Ikki doesn't mind? Sorry just invite people along without asking" she covered the right side of her face. She was always doing that, she really should learn to think and ask before she blurts things out.

"not that i know of but in a week or two something might happen all i know is now that people are coming here i need to renovate this whole Inn" Kyra said as she looked around "i need to stain the wood and change the sheets and rooms arent that much" Kyra finished apulstering the sofas and chairs "tomorrow im going out to buy paint does anyone want a sertine color for there room there are basicly all white so paint isnt a big deal" Kyra said as she looked up at the people

"Oh not a problem. That's $38 a night. Is that good?" Ikki smiled and began writing more information down. She soon picked up the keys and put them on the counter. "Here you go. Feel free to pay when you are done with your stay." Ikki had never really a reason for money at all. She would probably lock that in her closet too. Ikki's closet was just full of her old things. Her clothes, accessories, shoes, photos, written documents, awards, and other nonsense. She had no use for them but she had an attachment to them. If any person got into them all hell would break loose. She couldn't stand people going through her things. "I'm just fine with enyone joining our walk through the forest. We could all stop at the hot spring."

"i would love to go on a walk but this place needs to be revamped so i will be breathing new life into this old place while your out but i encourage that you guys go" Kyra said as she drew out a plane for the Inn lobey as she planned it out 'now is as good a time as ever it seems more people are checking in i dont know if there skeptics looking for gohsts or just need a place to stay and never heard the stories' she wondered as she pushed a couch against a wall

"Awww. Okay. We can go some other time then. It won't be the same without you though. You do have all the time in the world to do that you know." Ikki slightly giggled because she wasn't lieing. "I'll even help you with it when we're done." She smiled. If she had to go somewhere with those humans, she wasn't going to go alone. "Please Kyra? It'll be fun. I'm sure we can go with all the guests. They'd love it! Definately." Ikki looked up from her writing and smiled at Kyra. It wasn't a sweet smile but an evil yet sarcastic one.

Kyra retuned the smil but hers more belivable "okay fine but your staying up with me when we do revamp this place" she said as she walked over to the counter "tomorrow around noon" Kyra asked to see if anyone was against the time

"Oh fine. Noon it is then." Ikki looked back down at her writing. Ikki never wrote in English. She wrote in an ancient language that was rarely ever read. She liked writing in it because no one understood it. It seemed like chicken scratch or just markings on a wall. It meant something to her. Most of the time it read: Save Me, Go Away, Leave, Im Lonely, or mostly I'm bored. She laughed all the time when she'd see it on a wall, on the ground or carved into a wardrobe door. Nobody every minded it. It just seemed worn down by other people. That's what Ikki loved about the occasional customer. She could write about them and laugh her head off.

Kyra looked at the notes Mika was writting and laughed aswell reading to words "Mika what color do you think we should paint the rooms" she questioned as she read on and giggled she whispered to Mika "you shouldnt writ about them but im glad that you wrote in that language so they wont understand but still" 'i think i will repaint my room its been the same for so long i think i will make it blue' blue is her favorite color and she wanted the room blue for so long

"Haha. This language is fun though." Ikki smiled. "Blue is such a different color. I believe purple works better. But tis' your room and not my space to talk." She stopped writing and put the book in a drawer. She went into another drawer and pulled out another key. I think I'm going to actually sleep in my room tonight..That means I'm going to need to reassign Mikki to another room. She pulled the book from the drawer again and erased Mikki's name and changed it to a different room. I guess I'll just tell her I need to renovate her room...It seems mean..I'll just move her into one of the bigger rooms. She erased her name again and wrote it on a different page with emptier slots. "That should do it!"

"purple huh that is a wonderful color sure purple" Kyra said cheerfuly she saw what Ikki was doing "Mikki i need to change your room up abit would you mind moving into another room because the room your checked into is one of the oldest" Kyra explained "okay good night Ikki see you in the morning" she yawned i think i will be off to bed too nighty night everybody" she rubbed her eyes then blinked a fe times and walked up the stairs and entered her room and ploped down on her bed as she looked up at the celing Kyra said to herself "this place has gone from a gohst Inn no punn intended into a livly place" a smile switched at the end of her mouth as she thought that the days ahead would be interesting at least

"Good night." Ikki laid all the keys on the counter. "Here are you're keys everyone. As of now we are closed. Tis' quite late. And I do believe we all need sleep. Thank you for choosing The Full Moon Inn for your stay" Ikki stood up from her desk and stretched her arms out. "Mikki, for the inconvienience I will move your belongings for you." She headed for her room and moved all of her things into the best room they had; pretty much a loft. "There you go. See you in the morning. Good Night!" Ikki entered her room and turned out the lights. She unintentionally forgot to lock her door. She lit the room herself. She sighed in relief. "My old room. I never thought I'd be able to do this again....How come I never did this before?" She giggled and plopped down on her bed. Though she couldn't feel much, she felt comfort. Ikki got up again and stripped down to her undergarments. She went into the closet and got into her nightgown. It was quite old but she was happy.

"Well, then I don't know where all the people come from," Hans replied thoughtfully. "Maybe we should blame their parents." He giggled at his joke, not sure if anyone got it.

"Thank you," Leonard said, taking the key. "10 will do just fine." He took Hans by the wrist and led him up the stairs, giving him powerful glares the whole way through.

((Pardon if I go missing. I have odd-houred classes and a cold. I'm on enough Nyquil to take down a bull elephant.))

[[ That's okay. As long as you still post everything is fine :] ]]

alice smiled " i would love to go if my brother doesnt have a problem with it i have to ask him since he is alittle controlling." she went over to her brother and they had a small talk she wanted to really go and check everything out while he wanted her to stay with him and ghost watch but he finally gave in and told her yes. "i can go" she was excited but she was also tired.

alex sighed he knew this trip was a mistake she was terified of spooky things she would cry when their was a comerical for a scary movie on the tv so why did he think this was even a good idea. he just wanted to spend alitle time away from the house that brought so many memories of their parents up he noticed he hadnt paid yet and pulled out a 50 dollar bill "will this cover it." he didnt really notice what it was until it was done with he just wanted to go to bed and wake up and do something else.
