Character(s): Kettaro Sawashiro, Ethan Ashford, anyone else! ☆
Time: 6:43 PM
Location: Mirror Room

The evening night had just kicked it's way into the carnival. All day, Kettaro was gliding from ride to ride, event to event. He saw a lot of familiar faces from Aozora Academy, and even met new people. It was such a lively day at the carnival that he didn't want to go home. Kettaro looked around, searching for something he hasn't done yet. He saw a giant sign to his left that read: "MIRROR ROOM - Find your way out through the giant maze!" The blonde cocked his head to the side and a smile came across his face.

"Sounds like fun~!" he exclaimed as he skipped his way towards the line.

Once he got close to the line, he saw how short it was, making him feel extremely giddy. He clasped his hands together and watched the people walk around in the room. He chuckled when he saw people bump into mirrors with determined faces. Kettaro knew he would probably hit all of them, so he didn't burst out into laughter. He just found it cute how their expressions changed once they bumped into the glass.

The mirror room only lets in a certain amount of people at a time. Kettaro looked around him to see who he'd be stuck with in the mirror room. In the line, there were people that seemed around his age. He smiled and waved towards the patient people. "Hi -- I'm Kettaro! Age seventeen! And currently attending Aozora Academy~"
Introducing himself to strangers around his age was never a problem. Even if they were delinquents. It's just the way Kettaro feels around people--comfortable.

“Mirror Room, huh.”

Ethan had his hands stuffed in his pocket as he paced himself over towards the activity area. The game seemed familiar, but foreign at the same time as he watched student after student enter into the room of mirrors; some frustrated and irritated, while others were laughing and amusing themselves from their silliness.

“God, Bethany would enjoy an activity such as this…”

Watching from a distance, Ethan stood still and scanned his surroundings before coming to a halt on a blonde male. Sticking out like a sore thumb, Ethan watched as he felt a bit amused with his endless amount of energy. “Kettaro Sawashiro, huh… Aozora, second year. Hm, a year below me.” He repeated under his breath; couldn’t help but to over-hear his introduction to the world.

A bit interested in this newly found character, Ethan waltzed himself over towards this unfamiliar face and slid in line next to him. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kettaro. I’m Ethan Ashford, a third year at Aozora.” He spoke naturally with his European accent. Ethan gently bowed his head graciously over, making it not too formal for the male. “I was wondering if I could have the honors of being your acquaintance for the evening.”

[kei]

Kettaro stood stiffly, smiling like an idiot. He turned back around to further his watch on the people in the mirror room. However, as he was turning, he noticed a foreign looking male walking towards the line. Kettaro couldn't stop chuckling when he saw the dark haired boy come up to him. He felt really great to be living in a town filled with so much foreigners. It was like a zoo for him, except with beautiful people instead of animals.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kettaro. I’m Ethan Ashford, a third year at Aozora.”

Ethan's male voice had caught Kettaro off guard. He couldn't believe that he was talking to him. "---!! M-M-M-Mr. Kettaro?!" The blondie's eyes were now beaming along side with the sun's rays. This Ethan character had an accent -- a European accent. Kettaro touched his cheeks in awe as he watched the foreigner bow.

“I was wondering if I could have the honors of being your acquaintance for the evening.”

Fixing his composure, he bowed towards Ethan with a flustered face. "I-- It's nice to meet you! And of course you can, Ethan!" Kettaro snickered as the foreign name rolled off his tongue. He had hope he said it well instead of an accented 'Etun'. He transformed his snickering into a laugh as he went back to a standing position. "Pfft-- Hahaha! Are you really willing to go through the maze with me?! I smell a great adventure coming up~ ☆"

Kettaro was jumping with joy in his heart as he continued the wait in the line. Ethan Ashford, huh...? he thought. Wait... Isn't his name used often in those dating sites my sister goes on?!

The blonde threw the charming boy a glance and tilted his head in wonder. Kettaro made a face, thinking deeply about the familiar name. He shook his head to get rid of the thought, but that didn't stop his words from coming out of his mouth. "Ethan Assfoodo, did you ever have the time to -- to get online and look for... uh... dates?"

[zackary]

Taken back, Ethan glanced over at the room and looking back at the blonde, holding up a nervous facial expression. “Hahaha, I-I’m not so sure about me actually going in there. I was much rather more interested simply in observing you, which I hope doesn’t offend or bother you in any means, Mr. Kettaro.” He flashed a quick wink with his right eye as he smiled gently over to the male.

Standing up straight and moving along slowly with the line – Ethan turned to face Kettaro as he questioned him about him and dating websites. Letting out a soft laugh; Ethan shook his head and laid his hand on his forehead. In the mist of everything else; he noticed the way Kettaro's name sounded a bit offending but - Ethan quickly reminded himself that he was no longer located in his mother land, but in a foreign land instead.

“Dating sites? Hahaha, goodness. I don’t have much time to be on-line back at home, Mr. Kettaro. I believe you’re looking at the real Ethan Ashford, or possibly – you might be mistaking me with someone else I believe.” He corrected him as he smiled carelessly.

“Are you sure, Mr. Kettaro himself isn’t interested in the dating website more than your sister? If you pay so much attention to what guys she’s looking at, that is.” Ethan commented, with a smirk crawling up his face.

[kei]

“Hahaha, I-I’m not so sure about me actually going in there. I was much rather more interested simply in observing you, which I hope doesn’t offend or bother you in any means, Mr. Kettaro.”

Kettaro blinked with a smile still slapped onto his face. His expression quickly changed when Ethan's words had all attacked him. Kettaro sheepishly looked back at the boy, who seemed so devious when he neglected the fun. "You mean you're... not going through the mirror room? Well, then! Looks like I'm going to have to force you to go in, right~?" Kettaro hooked his arm around Ethan's neck, letting his hand fall before his shoulder.

The line was closing in and it was about 7:00 PM now. Kettaro and his partner were up next in line. Everyone in the room was closer than before; still bumping and attacking the mirrors. Kettaro laughed softly at them as he was building up energy to get into the room.

Ethan's voice didn't disturb Kettaro's energy building, but it did make him fanboy over Ethan. "T-The REAL --" he hesitated before saying his name again. "-- Ethan Assfoodo?! Wow! Is it possible-- err -- may I take a picture with you!?" Kettaro held his own hands together as he showed his brightest face. It's not every day he gets a picture taken with someone. Especially a famous someone.

"Are you sure, Mr. Kettaro himself isn't interested in the dating website more than your sister? If you pay so much attention to what guys she's looking at, that is."

Kettaro wanted to spew random words out of his mouth at that moment to hide his embarrassment. Has he found out already that I'm...? Throwing away the lingering question in his head, he exclaimed, "N-No! I don't really do that! I... It's not me! I just remember cool stuff about foreigners! Like your name!" Kettaro pouted as if he was a child who was getting blamed for something. He released his arm off around Ethan's neck and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Feeling the touch of another, Ethan watched as the blonde’s smile grew – explaining to him about their partnership through this room. Hesitant, Ethan wanted to step back and push the offer as far as he could but, letting it slide; he let a sigh of defeat and shook his head. “Well, I guess why not. You remind me of the little one I have back in England… Anyway, might as well just join you since we’re both so close up, eh?”

“Yes, the ‘real’ Ethan Ashford… Do you know who I am?”

Ethan questioned him curiously. He wasn’t too sure that people knew him here in Japan – since it was so far from home. He quickly looked around his surroundings, slowly noticing that eyes were on the two a lot more than before; or at least ever since the blonde had announced his name with, a slight defect in his pronunciation.

His smirk faded out slowly and grew into a soft, careless smile as he gave his blonde friend a gentle pat on his shoulder. “I was only teasin’, Mr. Kettaro. No need to get so offensive and nervous around me now. Now, I don’t mind to interrupt but – I believe it is your turn to enter.” His English accent still fresh and strong; Ethan directed the blonde over towards the entrance and smiled with his pearly white teeth.

“Shall we?”

[kei]

It was their turn next, but Kettaro didn't take note of that. It was Ethan's words that he was gnawing on.
“Well, I guess why not. You remind me of the little one I have back in England… Anyway, might as well just join you since we’re both so close up, eh?”

The fact that the other male had a sibling and was from England made Kettaro flip his lid. "You have a little one? Like a sibling, right? Unless you're a..." he coughed and looked to the side. "... a father?" It was an impossible and stupid assumption, but Kettaro wasn't really the smartest kid out there. He just says whatever comes into his head.

When Ethan asked if Kettaro knew who he was, Kettaro blankly stared at him. One blink. Two blinks. He fluttered his eyelashes with a dumbfounded smile. "Of course I know you? I see you on Yahoo news! Well, I see your last name..." The blonde started getting deep into thought, and then started to mumble out, "... People could have the same last names nowadays... but... eh...?"

Kettaro's mumbles were chopped off by the male's voice. Ethan was teasing him. Usually, it'd be Kettaro teasing, but this man had done that before him. However, before Kettaro knew it, it was their turn to enter the mirror room and be laughed at.

As they were walking into the room, Kettaro looked over to Ethan and gave him a late response. "Hey, Assfoodo! I wasn't getting offensive!" Kettaro started laughing, noticing how childish he was getting by being in the mirror room. "Hahaha, it's time to see your pretty boy face get smacked by these mirrors~"

(OOC: FAFSD I WILL NEVER STOP SAYING ETHAN'S LAST NAME LIKE THAT NOW)
