Noticeboard Post/Shizuka Gets Settled

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

((Backdated to the day after Shizuka's arrival.))

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday I found a castle with a bed inside in Fantasyland. Does anyone know if the bed or the castle is currently being used by anyone? If it's yours, please tell me! I would like to stay there but I don't want to encroach on anybody else's space.

Thank you in advance,

Kawai Shizuka

Suoh-kun,

Oh, could you do that for me? Or you could tell me what she looks like, and I'll look for her.

Shizuka-chan,

If you'd like, we could look together. She has brown hair that goes to about her shoulders, is kind of short, and is very cute. I can't tell you much more as she was sleeping when I saw her.

Yours,
Tamaki

Suoh-kun,

That's a great idea! We'll look together! Meet me by the noticeboard, okay?

Your friend,

Kawai Shizuka

Tamaki showed up at the notice board nearly as soon as he got the letter. It was okay if he was there waiting for Shizuka for however long it took her, but it was absolutely not okay if he kept her waiting.

Shizuka arrived about five or six minutes after Tamaki did. A little sheepish to realize he'd gotten there first, she smiled warmly and said, "Ah, sorry! I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"Not long at all, princess," he said. "You look very cute in that dress, by the way."

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

Shizuka blushed a little. "Ah! Thank you, you're very kind." She reached out, to take Tamaki's hand gently, although she would let go if he showed any signs of resistance. "Where should we look first?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki took her hand happily. "Well," he said. "We could start in Fantasyland. I will follow you wherever you wish to go," he said.

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

"Setsuna says the lady who used to live here is probably gone." Shizuka frowned. That was creepy and she didn't really want to think about what it meant. "But I think we should probably check just to make sure, don't you? Fantasyland is probably the best place to start." She paused, realizing she didn't know much about her new friend. "Ah, Suoh-kun! Where do you live?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"She is?" asked Tamaki, looking a little upset. "That's too bad. I didn't even get a chance to meet her." He paused. "But then, I apparently went missing too, so I guess she might come back. But I guess that means the castle is yours." He flashed her a charming smile, and led her into Fantasyland.

"I live in Fantasyland as well," he said. "We're practically neighbours. I live in Peter Pan's Flight.

"How shall we look for her. Would you like to go through some of the rides?"

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

Shizuka gasped. "You... you disappeared?" she asked, eyes wide. "What was that like? Was it frightening?" She imagined she would be scared, anyway, if she disappeared, and she squeezed Tamaki's hand a little tighter, allowing herself to be lead.

"Oh! Do you? That's great news!" She smiled. "Going through some of the rides might be a good idea. And just keeping an eye out for anyone who looks pregnant. Setsuna-kun said she was..."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki shook his head. "I didn't even know it had happened until my friend Kyouya had told me," he said, squeezing her hand a little.

He thought back to the girl who he had seen sleeping in the castle. She hadn't looked pregnant, but he had also not gotten a very good look at anything other than her face, as she had been sleeping, and he hadn't wanted to intrude.

"I shall do that," he said. He tried to think of places where pregnant people would go. It obviously couldn't be a ride that was too jarring, or fast, and it wasn't likely to be very loud...

"Would you like to go on the Storybook Land Canal Boats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storybook_Land_Canal_Boats)?" he asked her.

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

"Kyouya?" Shizuka echoed. "I don't think I know anyone by that name, yet." She smiled at Tamaki. "Well, anyway, I'm glad you're back now, at least!"

When he mentioned the boats, Shizuka giggled and her eyes seemed to light up. "Yes! That's a great idea! You think she'd be there?"

Letting go off Tamaki's hand to cup her hands to her mouth, she called, "NAAAAANAAAAAAA!"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"Kyouya's my best friend," he said. "And he's the vice president of the Host Club. I will have to introduce the two of you. I, too, am glad that I'm back.

"She could be," Tamaki said. "Alas, I don't know her personally, so I don't know where she would be likely to be."

He began to walk towards the boats, and copying Shizuka, also cupped his hands to his mouth and began calling out Nana's name.

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

"Your best friend? He must be nice." Shizuka trusted Tamaki's taste and anyway, as much as she liked him, she couldn't see anyone really mean being able to tolerate him for long.

Naturally, Nana didn't respond, so Shizuka sighed. "Let's check the boats," she said. "And then we can try one of the other lands."

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"He is!" said Tamaki. "He was my first friend! He took me all over Japan and showed me all the sights when I moved there, and he helped me set up the Host Club. He's a really nice guy."

Tamaki nodded, and once he got to the boats, he held out his hand to help her on to it.

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

Shizuka smiled, allowing herself to be helped into the boat. "What's the Host Club?" she asked curiously. She added, "I'd really like to meet this Kyouya. Do you have any other friends in the park besides him?"

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

"We set it up in our school," said Tamaki, sitting down. "It's where ladies can go after school to be entertained by myself and some of my friends."

He nodded at her next question. "Oh yes, I have a great deal of friends in the park. There's no one else from where I came from, but I've made a great deal of friends while I've been here."

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

Shizuka giggled as the ride started. "Entertain?" she asked. "What, do you tell jokes?" Currently, she pictured the Host Club as improv group aimed especially at female audiences.

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Tamaki shook his head. "No," he said. "We sit with them, and share tea and snacks, and we listen to them and do whatever their heart desires."

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Shizuka thought about that, and smiled. It wasn't as good as an improv group, but it still seemed like a sweet thing to do. "That's very nice of you. Is there a Hostess Club for girls, too?"
