				An endless wait.<br><br>This was the purpose for which the Waiting Room was created. A pristine white room, stretching out infinitely in every direction, with rows and rows of uncomfortable chairs for people to sit on. Here and there, small tables with piles of magazines (all of them, for some reason, issues from 1995) carelessly strewn about provided meager entertainment for those about to go insane. While, in this boundless land, hunger and thirst were not rules so much as suggestions, rumors spoke of a snack vending machine and water fountain to be found, somewhere out there. Some brushed off their existence as mere legend, and some said that they only appeared to the pure of heart, while the rest quietly chewed on their chocolate bars without speaking up.<br><br>People sometimes referred to this place as purgatory. Some had come to accept this as the truth.<br><br>This was the place where the Words, girls summoned (or perhaps born?) from a mystical dictionary, waited until their turn came to appear in the story known as <em>She-ctionary</em>. Once in a while, one of them would be called on, never to come back. Not too long ago, (Had it been minutes? Days? Years? It was hard to tell in this place.) Echo, now known as Kodama, had left them. Who would be next?<br><br>A tinny, garbled voice came over the loudspeaker. "Obscenity to the human world, Obscenity to the human world." Soon, she, too, would leave, and the others would be left by themselves... Now, what would they do, until their turn came?

				Midori was a carefree girl and spent much of the time daydreaming and swinging her too-short legs off of the chair she sat on. Luckily, she had a pocket full of bubble gum and a kendama to entertain her... for the time being. Little girls could not keep entertained with such things for long.

				Haruka sat idly staring at the girl swinging her legs back and fourth. She didn't much care of what was going on, the waiting room was a good enough place as any to simply sit and waste time. She quietly twirled her black hair in her fingers contemplating if she should pick up another magazine from 1995, and attempt to read it. She couldn't concentrate very well, and could hardly remember which one she had last looked at. She sighed as she crossed her legs under neath her, in an attempt to become more comfortable in the very hard plastic chair she sat in. She realized there was another girl in the room, for the second time and watched her, until she became distracted with anything else within the room.

				The little green-haired girl let out a little squeak when she saw Haruka sitting nearby and then promptly ran over to her. "Hi!" she said. "I'm Midori. Who're you?"

				Haruka tensed visibly as she noticed the girl scamper over to her so happily. "I'm Haruka" She stated with a small yet, stern voice. She gave the girl a look and simply shrugged, not wanting to know much else from the girl.

				"Mmmmm..." Midori said, cocking her head to the side curiously. <em>"This lady looks boooring."</em> she thought to herself before glancing about, looking for other people. <br><br>"What cha doing?" she asked Haruka again, finally returning her attention to the unimpressed girl.

				Ryu sighed as she appeared in the room. She glared around at all the white, and let out a low hissing growl before pulling a pair of wra around sunglasses from her pocket and slipping them on. "Too bright in here." She mutters as she moves to take a seat by a stack of magazines.<br><br>She looks around the room and notices the other two girls. "Hi." she says softly. "Any idea who we talk to about lowering the lights?"

				"I dunno." Midori said, suddenly bounding to the new lady's side. "You're quiet. Why does the light hurt you? My name's Midori!" she said, moving through each question or statement all too quickly, just like the child she appeared to be.

				Ryu's eyebrow arched over the top of her sunglasses. "I'm used to having only myself for company, so I don't talk to many people. And the light doesn't hurt me so much as bother my eyes, as I'm used to dimmer surroundings."<br><br>She looks the girl over, or one could assume so as her head tilts down a little. "I am Ryu."

				Midori looked up at her and grinned, wholly appreciating her patience. She stepped back and brought a hand to her chin, "Ryu..." she thought quietly. "So does that mean you're a dragon-lady, then?!" she suddenly squealed.

				Haruka's attention was snapped back from the small dark dot on her arm to the new woman that entered the room. She watched as Midori bounded over to the new woman, but couldn't hear their conversation. <br><br>Haruka watched as the girl morphed into a dragon form and was unsure why she morphed. Haruka tensed, unsure of why the woman would simply change without warning. <em>I hope nothing bad is going to happen here...</em> She thought warily.

				Haruka looked up to the dragon lady and nodded, "I didn't think you'd hurt me, I just don't know what other weird things may occur in this room." She still had her arms crossed, sitting in a chair in the corner of the room.

				The movement towards her corner of the world caught her attention, and for the first time, Kurai's gaze settled on something other than the wall across from her.&nbsp; &nbsp;They were strange, with concepts dancing around them that her mind could not quite grasp, their forms blurred by their brightness.&nbsp; "Hello," she said politely.<br><br>Then a hand reached down, just above her head, beginning as color but quickly leeched into the pale grey of a black-and-white skintone.&nbsp; "Excuse me," she said as she reached for it.&nbsp; "I do not mean to be impolite, but I believe I'm being summoned.&nbsp; Perhaps we'll speak again on the Outside."<br><br>And then she was gone, the colors in her corner slowly brightening back into existence now that her presence was no longer muting them.

				With one shapely leg crossed affectionately over the other, Nyoko sat in a nondescript chair simply lost in quiet contemplation, her naturally straight pink hair cascaded to just below shoulder length in layers of silken sheets, a slow sigh escaping her plush lips, this in turn causing her ample bossom to rise and fall. She traced small designs up and down her thigh with her index finger nonchallantly, spotting the others after a few more lost moments.<br><br>A coy smile would spread over those rose petals and she'd tilt her head faintly to the side, causing her bangs to fall over one of her eyes, shrouding that side of her face in sensual mystery. Doey eyes winked at the other females, but she didn't really say much.
