Road
Outside Lungmen

A female with waist-length snow hair and wolf ears, wearing black clothes, hums as she walks forward. She blinks then her silver eyes show a glint as she sees Lungmen in front of her.

"Ooooo, finally arrived at Lungmen." She raises her hands in celebration as she smiles in anticipation, "Texas~ Texas~ wait for me~" She then tightly holds onto her swords and after making sure that they are secured in her hands, she takes off running.

Ashura's Room
In Rhodes Island

"Finally I can rest in my room! For now at least." Ashura, now in casual wear, sighs as he enters his bedroom then collapses onto his bed. He grabs a pillow and stuffs his face into it.

"...Melantha and Fang are on their way here, then probably Shining, Nearl, Dobermann will come here... Don't know about Nian... Erm, who else... Have no idea about Texas and the other one..." He raises his fingers as he counts on the number of people that will/probably come to his room.

"...I'm bored. Let me see if this phone got any games I can play..." He takes out his phone, previously held by the pre-doctor, and fiddles with it. He then puts his phone next to him while muttering, "Nothing except for chess... Or is it called something else here..."

Ashura sighs before getting up, "Might as well go check the kitchen... Ata did say that she restocked it." He heads over to the door, pauses, turns around then heads back to grab his helmet on the drawer beside his bed.

"Or... Maybe..." He mutters with his hand holding the helmet, with his eyes staring back at him. He stares longer while frowning, then he sees his reflection smile at him, making him drop the helmet while backing up.

"What the fuck?" He blinks over and over while looking at the helmet with fear, "Too tired, yeah, that must be it. I did not just see myself smiling." He carefully walks over to it and picks it up to see himself with no smile.

Ashura shakes his head then tosses the helmet towards the bed, "Hopefully nothing bad happens..." He mutters as he walks out of the room.

Heading over to the kitchen, he opens up the cabinets and fridge to see a variety of food in them, making him sweatdrop, "Is this for me or for a party?" Shaking his head, he grabs a few instant noodles from the cabinet and puts a pot, filled with water, on the stove to boil.

"Maybe I should learn how to cook... Eating instant noodles probably won't end well for me..." While waiting, he takes out a few ingredients that look similar enough to his past life, "Carrots... Tomato... Onion? Chillies, I think? Meh, chop them then put them into the water along with the noodles and seasoning." He gets to work on cutting with a board and a knife, though the result is that most of the pieces are too big.

"...I'm sure it will be fine," He awkwardly says to himself as he hovers the pieces over the pot, "...Right?"

"Ashura, are you in there?" Melantha's voice suddenly rings out, almost making him drop the cutting board and spilling the ingredients but he manages to stabilize himself. He sighs in relief before turning to look at the door with minor annoyance.

"Yeah, the door is unlocked!" He shouts while putting the board right next to the stove then he puts the noodles into the pot once he sees bubbles forming in the pot. After that, he quickly heads into his room to grab his helmet.

"Ashura, we came by to see if you're free? Me and Melantha found a newly opened clothes shop that sells some nice designs, and we are planning to go there tonight," Fang, trailing behind Melantha as they walk in, asks before sniffing, "Are you cooking?"
