The sound of footsteps can be heard from the hallway. Judging from the sounds, there are more than one person walking. They stop in front of a door. It looks like an empty room. They're exchanging a few short words, exchanging is not the right word from the look of it, as it's only one person talking. A man, with his deep, yet somehow kind voice. The man takes his leave, leaving the other guy alone. The door opens slowly, revealing a small, neat room beyond it. Inside there is a bed, a wardrobe, a desk and a chair. There is also a bathroom inside, much to the guy's relief.
Zero takes a good look around of his new surrounding, the place that will be his new 'home' for the next few years. He glances at every corner of the room, a habit he developed during his year as a hunter. After he makes sure there are none spying equipments installed, he closes the door, drops his bag on the floor and sit on the bed. "Well, little guy, this is our new place. Get used quickly," he said. As he said that words, suddenly a creature jumps, or flies actually, onto the bed right beside him. A white griffin, named Eze, screams with a happy look on its face, as if saying that it's happy being there. Zero patted his head, then laying on the bed. Quite comfortable, he admits.
He closes his eyes briefly and begins to think. To be honest, he has thoughts of having to share a room with other people, which is some scary thoughts for this crowd-hating guy. He also has no worries to leave Eze behind, as the university is not against its students to bring along a pet, as long as it's not disturbing. There's only one thing bugging his mind now. The dorm right now is so quiet, as currently all the students have univ activities. It will be crowded soon, and they might be aware of a new kid occupying the usually empty room. He's okay if they come over and looking for trouble, but he can't ignore the possibilities that some might want to befriend him. He prepares to leave the room, with Eze following from behind. "Now, let's see if I can find some private spot just for us."

One of his coworkers from the Blue Crescent Bar had called him for a favor. Apparently, she had left her purse at the bar and did not have any money to take the trains to pick it up. It was a mystery how she returned home in the first place without her wallet, but Matsu decided against asking. The young man stood at a distance as he looked at the university buildings and wondered, 'Where's the dorms?' He did not bother searching mindlessly for the dormitory and took out his phone once he arrived. With the purse held under one of his arms like a football, he dialed his coworker's number with his free hand and waited for the girl to pick up. It rang a few times and went to voice mail. "What to do now?" he mumbled, ending the call without leaving a message. He continued walking forward, not wanting to look like some lost weirdo with a purse. 'If only I brought Ryoshi with me,' Matsu thought sadly, remembering how his companion had refused to go when he asked.
Looking around his surroundings, he wondered if 'there's probably some office or something that I could go to and ask them where the dorms are.' One building in particular caught his attention, and so he headed there. His intuition was good, or luck was on his side. Either way, it led him to the office building. There were only a few workers within the building since it was the weekend, but they were able to direct him to the dormitory. "It's a good walk in that direction when you exit the building. There's a big fountain there. You can't miss it," the older lady at the counter told him. Matsu gave her a charming smile and leaned in. In a hushed tone, he replied, "Thank you, miss. I don't know where I would be without you." He left, giving her a wink as he exited the building and walked in the direction they had pointed to.
It really was a good distance away from the campus, but it was to be expected. They would not want regular students walking around and disturbing those who lived in the dormitories either. He walked in through the front doors and saw someone sitting behind a counter. Matsu cleared his throat and announced his presence, "Excuse me. I'm here to drop of this purse for a friend. Do you know what room she's in?" The young man at the counter turned to Matsu and nodded. "What's your friend's name? I can give a call directly to her dorm room for you." Understanding the situation, Matsu gave the man his coworker's name and waited while the phone rang. The girl picked up, and the guy at the counter gave the phone to Matsu. After a while, he thanked the man, leaving the purse at the counter for her to pick up later on. As he was leaving, he noticed a strange new student that stuck out due to the large companion by his side. He gave an amused whistle as he approached the boy. "Hey there. You new here? That's an interesting pet you got with you," he stated, trying to start a conversation.
OOC: At first, I was confused on how to bring my character in. So when I figured out a way to lead him in, I just typed away, and the post got super long! I had wanted our characters to interact more, but there's not much to do yet. Let's see where it'll take us!

Zero walks towards a place that he thinks won't be visited by many people. After having Eze scouted some places from the sky, he feels that his current destination is the best for him. Across the big fountain, there's a little park just in the corner. Based on his intuition, that place won't be visited often because of the distance. Quite a long walk if one only want to take a stroll in the park or sits under a tree. As he walks, he starts wondering, what kind of classes will he get in the university? The professors? Can they really help him grow? "What if they're all a bunch of weaklings?", he said to himself. The white griffin besides him screams slowly, so it can't be heard by anyone. Without glancing over, Zero said,"well, let's just hope you're right, little guy."
As he approaches the big fountain, he observes the statue in the centre of the fountain. He has to admit that the statue was elegant and well-built. A woman with wings, looks like she's an angel. Every inches of this angel statue is so detailed, especially the face. Zero can imagine perfectly if somehow this 'woman' turns into a living being, she will be one of the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Immersed in his thoughts, Zero flinches a little when Eze jumps so suddenly towards the fountain. The little griffin stick his face into the fountain, and gulps the water in it. It looks like pretty thirsty. "Is it allowed to drink from the fountain? Well, whatever," said Zero to his companion, knowing it does not make any difference at all. He's set to continue walking, when suddenly his sense told him something is coming from behind.
"Hey there. You new here? That's an interesting pet you got with you." Someone is talking, a man's voice, and he's sure that question is for him. No other guys can be seen besides him, yet alone an animal like his griffin. 'First day, my luck has already running out,' he thinks to himself. He's considering to just go outta there without answering, but he doesn't want to cause a problem during his first day, actually first few hours in his new surroundings. He stares right into Eze, as if it was that griffin's fault someone about to come into this place. He decides to just found out what that man wants from him.
Zero turns around to face the man who slowly walks toward him. This man is few centimeters shorter than him, but looks like older than him. Quite long hair, casual clothes, just like an ordinary guy. What's bothering Zero is that man approaches him with a smile on his face. Even though he himself is putting his usual cold and sharp expression, that guy doesn't seem to be intimidated by it. 'Could it be this guy is not an ordinary person?', his mind asks. No matter, that makes no difference. The faster this ends, the better it is. With a deep sigh before, Zero replies,"and who might you be?"
OOC: I have something in mind that might connect our characters. It might take a little longer for it thought, as my character is a complete newcomer. As you said, let us first see where this will take us

Having been around his emotionless brother during the early years, Matsu had gotten quite used to the cold, hard stare coming from the the boy. 'Ah, he reminds me of Atari when he was younger!' thought the man as he held a happy expression while reminiscing of the past. He put the thought aside and replied to the young man, "Kuro Matsu." It was a simple response, announcing his last name first as any Japanese person would do. He held out his hand as a friendly gesture, but decided against waiting too long. The glaring look on the young man's face was enough to show that his presence was unwanted. Matsu only remained due to his curiosity of the white winged creature beside them.
He continued chatting with the boy even if it may become a one-sided conversation. "That animal next to you... there's nothing like it in this area so I immediately knew you weren't from here. What's your reason to come to Japan? The sights? The food? Maybe... the tournament?" Matsu dared to ask the one risky question that could start a fight with any participant. He bet on his luck that the younger man would not start any trouble here at this new and unknown place. It was not like he wanted to start a fight in the first place. Matsu only pushed people for his own amusement and satisfaction of his curiosities. Since he had to do such a troublesome favor earlier, he was due for something interesting.
OOC: That great to hear. I can't wait for what's in store. For now, I'll just keep pushing it along slowly because I'm sort of blanking out here.
