Taking detours and random streets by the names of Killjoy Avenue and 42nd street, Penelope finally arrived at her destination. A building called a share house, which was to be her new home away from Shibusen. She reckoned that it was about time she moved from Shibusen’s guest rooms. She was sick of getting completely lost down there in the wee mornings of the day and trying to find a bathroom was something grand upon itself. With a huff she entered into the building without a knock to announce her entrance. She simply kicked the door open a jar, strolled in and kicked off her shoes.

Allowing for her duffel bag to drop by her feet she glanced to and fro, noticing not a sign of life. Mumbling a bit and giving a stretch, Pen eyed the stairs and went up them, dragging along her belongings. She was given a room it being room number seven. Such a lovely number if she had to mentioned. Upon entering it was medium size with a bed and some drawers to shunt away her belongings. To be truthful Penelope wasn’t much for organization, what with her sparse collection in material things. So with that note she carelessly threw her duffel bag into the far cornered and plopped tiredly into her single bed.

Home…

Closing her eyes she laid flat on her stomach and stock still. Figuring that with a new change in atmosphere she would be able to sleep finally. Sadly that wasn’t the case as she was left lying there thinking away the next hour.

“Ugh!” She prompted her arms up onto the bed and stared at the wall, zeroing in on a dot against its surface. Her eyes having abnormally large circles beneath them, they went unnoticed with her thick rims for glasses. It was safe to say that the last few missions left her with strange sleep patterns, oh wait no, very ANNOYING sleep patterns. She sub consciously blamed her constant thinking.

Now flipping over to her back she laid sprawled out with her legs limply hanging over the side, hands clasped in front of her. Favoring her gaze at the ceiling as another parade of thoughts assaulted most of her senses leaving her dead to the world around her.

“I should send them a letter.” Announcing aloud one particular thought that was always floating about she blew out a wisp of air.

The sound of boyish laughter and running feet began suddenly, and with a rising and falling tempo which a composer could only dream of, the pounding of footsteps faded and grew as they ran up and down the hall. Tripping backwards in the hallway, Ruben fell flat into the normally empty room, and continued his momentum to get into an awkward over-the-shoulder back roll, which ended with him back on his feet. One large hand was cupped, and his other drawn back as if ready to throw. Suddenly jumping back as Wisp entered the room, Ruben landed on the bed, before overbalancing due to Penelope's weight, and with a final wobble, crashed on top of her.

He blinked.

"Oh hey. Ready for chess?"

And like that, Penelope was officially one of the residents of the Share house. Since Wisp's arrival and Ruben's subsequent freak out, the golem technician had spent a lot of time thinking about thinks, and realised that given it is a share house, he'll rarely actually be told by the landlord that someone is moving in or the like. As such, the sudden appearance of someone new didn't phase him, but that it had been the girl from the Practical Test was a little more unusual. She smelled faintly of soap, and although he wished he could say her body was soft, the corner of her glasses were jabbing rather painfully into his shoulder, so saying such a thing would be a fallacy. A number of small, brightly coloured balloons had spread across her bed, and with an expert throw of Will- a suspiciously accurate one given his eyesight- a sudden wet burst revealed that they were not only balloons, but water balloons.

"I'll get you for that Wisp!" Shouted the meister, before awkwardly bouncing off Penleope, collecting the majority of the waterballoons and running out the door. A peal of laughter and running feet suggested that Ruben's hasty aiming had gone amiss, and so the game continued.

'chess? that was random, even for Ruben'

Thought Will, who was not privy to much of what Ruben had experienced in the practical test. Ruben's water balloon has missed and hit a wall, just as Will ducked around the corner, He stuck his head back around, laughing at Ruben, only to cop a mouthful of water balloon. Swallowing his embarrassing comeuppance and a large amount of water, Will rushed back to the stash of water balloons he had stocked in the bathtub. A sudden pounding of feet announced that Ruben was arriving, and not wanting to get caught out, Will ran out onto the bathroom balcony. It hardly warranted the name balcony, as it was so small, but it was large enough for Will to climb from it into the open window next to it, and this time it was Will landing on Penelope's bed.

"Hi, sorry! I'm Will"

He quickly bounced off, and hid behind the door. With a finger to his lips to indicate silence was necessary, he used soul percept to monitor Ruben's almost silent approach. A grin was plastered across Will's face as he waited for Ruben to dive into Penelope's room. He ducked past Ruben, through the door, and slammed it shut, running back to grab more water balloons and laughing manically as he heard Ruben's clumsy scramble to follow him.

There wasn’t a doubt that Penelope Heartindales was on the very verge of sleep. Something oh so wonderful in itself that she allowed for a tiny smirk as the last traces of reality left her and she started into a dream. As of late, her dreams were only nightmares filled with horrific images of the like but now? None of that, she was actually floating on some cloud made of freaking cotton candy! This was heaven…for she was finally going to get some decent shut eye…

Sadly this dream was immediately grounded to a halt as the cloud dispersed and body weight slammed right into her. Jolting awake she was met with someone’s backside.

Someone’s trying to suffocate me!?

"Oh hey. Ready for chess?"

She tried to muffle out a response but it sounded like, “Mmpfhghhh!!” Which was actually, “Get off whoever you are before I gut you”. Now you could question how that could be applied to the said mumble but Penelope was rather focused on the matter at hand. As things became clearer and she realized that whoever was a top of her was someone very familiar… Penelope felt something whack the wall and her bed, upon the collusion said things exploded and she felt something wet starting to soak her bed’s covers.

As she slowly placed things together she realized that the person a top of her and who had asked her if she was ready for chess was someone she knew. That awkwardly and seemingly shy kid named Ruben.

As Ruben shouted out towards whoever had thrown those water balloons that he would get them. He finally went about getting off her as he ran from her room. Getting up rather slowly her eyes formed into one very icy glare, fixing her glasses she’d gave a very annoyed “hurmpth!” before leaning to the side of her now soaked bed. Hearing the laughter and the quick flurry of running feet Penelope wondered if this was an all male dorm.

She thought it was going to be only females in here…I mean honestly a share house with hormonal boys and girls? You had got to be kidding me. Please tell me we don’t have to all share bathrooms… Shuddering at the thought someone had smuggled right through her window. The passing thought that sneaking out of here at night for late night walks could be very favorable she brushed said thought to the side as a white haired teen snuck in, he introduced himself as Will.

With a mischievous grin he dived straight into her closet and hid there as Ruben approached from the outside. When Ruben finally made his move, Will simply maneuvered to the side and out her bedroom’s door, slamming said door on his way out. Ruben went about scrambling to get back out but Penelope had another idea.

“Oh hey you! Ready to die?!” At this moment Penelope stood up lankily from her bed and a gleam appeared on her glasses from the over head light bulb. The gleaming hiding her eyes in a way that was completely maniacal. Bringing upwards her arm it swirled to her blade’s form as she gave him a grin.

“Did no one tell you about personal boundaries? Or personal space?” Penelope allowed for her stature over the fallen boy to be known as she approached him closer. “Maybe I should teach the boy a lesson huh?” Her outwards appearance was enough to make anyone shiver but by Shinigami-sama, he interrupted her quality nap time! Damn him he should be dealt with as swift as possible so he’ll know not to come barging into her room again! Of course she ignored the fact that she left her door completely opened

Well hell with the little sleep she had who was she to remember things, much rather how uncharacteristically horrid she seemed to be acting. Raising her leg she gave a quick swift kick into her bedroom’s door. Almost knocking it off its hinges.

The bathroom was empty. The frosted glass of the shower could not hide Will, and not even the impressive mountain of bottles for shampoo, conditioner and the like could not hide an adult male. Perhaps Will's last name was well deserved and he could become wraith-like and hide, but even this seemed unlikely. Opening one cupboard door after another, and then the shelves Ruben became increasing desperate, to the point of rifling through the bottles.

"Hi, sorry! I'm Will"

The voice permeated through the walls, letting Ruben know where his soon to be victim was hiding. Pen's room! Ruben ran out of the bathroom, skidding slightly as he took two sharp turns to leave one room and enter the next. However, all he could see was the same girl, still sprawled across the bed. Slightly confused about it all, and why a teenage girl was sitting so sultrily (is that a word?) on her bed, only the sudden slamming of the door brought him back to reality. Turning about, Ruben jiggled the doorknob ineffectively- Wisp must be holding onto the other side!

“Oh hey you! Ready to die?! Turning about, a maniacle gleam shone off her glasses, and a cruel smile played across her lips. Taking a step back, but tripping over the air, Ruben landed in a pile against the door, looking up fearfully at the woman. He gripped his helm and tried his best to shove it down across his head, wishing it would swallow him whole.

Quivering slightly as she continued her taunting, only the violent kicking of the door set him free. The battered door hung from the lower hinge, and leant out at a crazy angle. Small The upper hinge squeaked feebly as it swung slightly from the door, and a pair of small holes in the door-frame suggested it might pose a challenge to reattach it. Scrambling out of the room, and into the hall, he was hit square in the face with a water balloon, Ruben spluttered, but continued his dash. He jumped into the bathroom and locked the door, before taking a few steps back incase this door too was mutilated. His heart beat erratically in his chest, and heavy breaths tore through his body. He hadn't been so afraid since the ancient sword kishin egg had tackled him down, but this time there was no golem to help him out. Looking about, Ruben spied the stash of water balloons. Gulping once, he reached in, and armed himself with four. If someone burst in, the splatter and distraction of the water balloons might give him enough time to dive past her, and back into the house.

Here goes nothing...

Hearing a crash from the new girl's room, Will dashed out into the hall, temporarily re-stocked with water balloons. He hurled one in the direction of Ruben before he noticed that Ruben's soul was tingly with fear. He paused uncertainly as Ruben was followed by a very angry person, possibly the new girl. Will swallowed as his former arch nemesis rushed by him in a mad dash for safety. Will was about to follow him when the door was slammed in his face and by the sounds of things, locked. Will beat heavily on the door, a desperate drumming that matched pace with his heartbeat.

"Oy let me in! Don't leave me out here to die!"

Will turned around quickly sensing an approach from behind. He was breathing hard and racking his brains for an escape plan. Seeming to shrink slightly, Will Hid the water balloons guiltily behind his back, and played his ace card.

"I'm blind!"

The approaching person didn't seem detered, so Will decided to make the most of things. If he was going to die, he was going to make Ruben as traumatised as possible. Before the assailant could reach him, Will began wailing and making choking noises,

"please don't ... *coughcough* .... DYYYIINNNGGGGG...."

After an over-dramatised death, Will dropped himself to the floor heavily, committing sepuku on his own water balloons so to speak.

'well, playing dead works for bears... I think... I can but hope!'

Ruben quickly dashed away and slowly she trailed after him. Each step she took seething with contempt and pure anger, honestly this guy just loved to tick her off didn’t he? Ignoring how the door to her room was almost successfully knocked from its hinges, Penelope spotted a trail of water on the floor leading off to a now closed door. Right beside it was a tall white haired teen banging against it while yelling at the occupant inside. Her lip quivered into a grin as she guessed to whom. She turned her glare to the tall kid and noticed how he sloppily hid away water balloons behind his back.

“You’re his partner in crime eh?” Penelope murmured to her self quietly before that Will kid proclaimed he was blind. Pen gave a blink, then another before shaking her head and giving a cackle. As if…what kind of guy would pull out some sort of lie like that? She gave another twist of her head bending it low and allowing her bangs to overshadow her eyes. Yeah this Will character was going to be in as much hell as Ruben.

Raising her arm as a means to grab a hold of him, Will started to cry out even before she laid a finger on him.

“Eh?” She stopped in confusion as he begged to some unknown force before giving a gag and yelping out in a cry that he was dying. Talk about being overdramatic, Penelope was planning on being rather quick about killing him anyways…

As he fell quite heavily to the floor, he landed on top of the water balloons. While they popped Pen gave a jump.

“Tsk…” Shaking her head she strolled over to him and bent down to his level. Raising one finger, Pen poked him quite harshly between his brows. “Oi, you ain’t getting off that easy…” She allowed a smirk before getting back up and turning her attention to the locked door. “LIKE I’VE SAID BEFORE…” She slowly raised her leg upwards.

“LIKE SOME DOOR CAN BEST ME!” She gave a good kick and the door broke away from the lock. She went about stepping inside and immediately her eyes spotted Ruben straightaway…just with some water balloons in hand. She blinked.

“OH…don’t you even dare!” She raised her index finger menacingly and pointed towards him, waiting to see what exactly he would do next.

With a none too manly shriek of fear, Ruben threw all six water-bombs simultaneously. A barrage of splatters assaulted his hearing, but whether or not they hit their target Ruben had no idea, mostly due to the fact he was already out the balcony and over the ledge. A story off the ground, Ruben's landing on the thin grass and packed dirt outside was none too soft, as spikes of pain jarred through the balls of his feet and up his shin bones. Hobbling slightly, but fear fuelling his energy, the young meister bounced and ran across the neighbour's backyard, before hitting into their fence. Scrabbling at the 6 foot wooden structure, Ruben eventually managed to grab a secure hold of the top and pulled himself up. Overbalancing, he fell back, and landed heavily. The air rushed out of him in a pained 'Oofff' and he lay there for a second.

Remembering why he was trying to climb the fence, his eyes shot open and he tried once again. Only to fall, but atleast this time onto his rear end. A third attempt was successful, and over the fence Roo went. The edge of a pool greeted him, before the cold, sharp embrace of water swallowed him whole. A small cloud of clay dust floated free of the child as he thrashed about, finally surfacing and gulping down galleons of air of water. Entering a coughing fit, one could only see that this wasn't his day. With an awkward combination of Doggy-paddle and breast-stroke, he made it to the edge, before hauling himself out. A veritable fish-tank of water gushed from him, and coated the hot tiles with the cooling liquid. Looking about worriedly, but not spying his assassin, Ruben slowed to a jog as he passed through the rest of the garden, and hopped a token fence naught two feet tall. Landing safely, but not unnoticed a large pit-bull turned its attention to the boy.

"Balls."

Despite his attempt to completely stop breathing, and thereby appear to be dead, Will let out a slight gasp as Penelope stepped on him to get into the bathroom. He spluttered slightly trying to regain precious oxygen after being winded. Standing up Will brushed himself off in time to hear a faintly feminine squeal, before being pelted with what must have been a bucket full of water. Water went in his eyes, and mouth, and due to an untimely snort of laughter at the squeal, up his nose as well. For the second time in mere moments Will was coughing and spluttering, having inhaled more water than oxygen. He stumbled out in to the hall, trying to cough, breathe, and laugh all at the same time, and not achieving any of those things to any great effect.

He was so involved in the act of attempting to breathe, in fact, that he had almost forgotten the enraged and clearly dangerous woman who had so recently literally walked all over him. After a few moments, Will's breathing evened out and his ragged coughing slowed and stopped, all the water having been expelled from his lungs. He sneezed once and wiped water out of his face, sighing. After a moment of silence his mind wandered back to the squeal and he chuckled again. His mind then wandered back to the cause of the squeal and the laughter died in his throat. Immediate retreat was called for.

Her threat was blatantly ignored in favor of Ruben throwing water balloons at her. She went to shield herself somewhat dumbly if anything before three of the six thrown water balloons made impact. She spluttered and issued a catlike hiss in anger. She was absolutely fuming and was successfully blinded by water splayed against her frames. Ignoring that the view before her was distorted by splotches of water, Pen stomped forward after Ruben.

Since the water balloons had sort of side tracked her, she completely missed seeing Ruben go tossing himself over the edge of the balcony. She gaped at what was once Ruben and now air before jolting forward to the ledge. Penelope hanged on to the ledges and watched him go running off; she was practically steaming away the water.

“YOU ASS! I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!” Penelope thundered while waving a fist. For a few moments more she watched his antics at trying to distance himself from her before turning away. What a dolt…she gave a shake of her locks before hearing some spluttering and what seemed to be laughing coming from the hallway. Eyes narrowing and with a snarl, Pen went running straight back into the hallway.

Seeing the fleeing backside of Will, she immediately went after him. “WAIT!” Penelope cried as she went to grab him. But with her socks soaked from getting doused with balloons they made her loose her gripping on the floor and thus Penelope slipped, not before grabbing a fist full of Will’s shirt and successfully pulling him down with her. All she could manage was a strangled yelp as she went down.
