I'm sorry about the small chapters. I don't have much time to write up my first drafts, so those are all segmented into small snippits, too. So, that's how the chapters are turning out! I hope you'll stick around! The chapters will get longer once my school gets out! Then my mom won't be able to get me off of the computer… Kukuku/Kakaka…

"So I'm you, I'm guessing?" she asked, causing Dororo's tumble.

"Ahh!" Dororo exclaimed, only barely managing to land on his feet when he twisted in midair.

Doriri stared down at him from his usual perch, not saying a word. The rest of the room grew silent and watched the pair with interest. The men were interested because Dororo rarely lost his balance, and the girls were watching only because Dororo's landing hadn't been as quiet as he'd hoped.

Doriri jumped down from the ceiling too, landing in a respectful bow in front of Dororo, her hands on her thighs.

"Sorry to have startled you," Doriri whispered, standing up out of her bow.

"Nothing to worry about," Dororo replied, studying the girl that was, in essence, him. The resemblance was rather unnerving.

Dororo expected a reply, but Doriri said nothing, merely moving over to sit out of the way by a wall.

"So, um, where are we sleeping? I would ask for a full tour, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. We were kind of shocked out of that mind frame," Kerora asked, breaking the awkward silence that Doriri had created.

"I can make sleeping arrangements for myself," Gertrude said, and with that she left the room to unpack.

"I'll go wherever Tamama goes!" Tamomi declared, squeezing her 'big brother' tight. He smiled. He was already warming up to her.

"I already have something prepared. Kakaka…" Kulala said, and ran out after Gertrude to get her little box.

"I guess I'll just have to build Kerora a room in the base, then. Kukuku…" Kululu said, and disappeared into the mini fridge to get to work.
