Riko was just settling down at her laptop in her room to check up on her favourite bands' websites. She sat cross-legged in the chair, clad in her pyjamas: white spaghetti strap top and tiny tight pink shorts. Her hair was tied loosely into a ponytail, although she'd missed a lot of her hair when she was tying it, so it wasn't really very effective as her face was still framed by the pink highlights.

She switched on the sound to blare the J-pop she was singing along to (rather tunelessly) and clicked about on the screen. She would check out a few sites, instant message her friends back at home a little, then go to bed. The desk lamp was on and the rest of the room was shadowed - a lovely cosy atmosphere.

Dendrite prowled along the darkened campus, the alien's hunger driving it forth in search of prey...Once again. The monster had no doubt that it could find some suitable girl to "play" with for the night. The only concerns it had were ones of curiosity...Would she scream and struggle? Would she submit willingly? The girls of Shokushu were ever full of delightful surprises...

Reaching the dorm building, Dendrite began to effortlessly pull itself up the wall of the structure. It slithered upward between windows, keeping its bulk away from the sight of those inside. The monster's alien senses roved through the darkened rooms...Some were empty, some held girls sleeping alone, or in each others' arms. Some hadn't quite fallen asleep yet.

And then there was a commotion. A girl sitting at her desk, probably with her computer, and someone charging into her room...Dendrite paused, clinging to the wall outside, waiting and listening.

Riko jumped and yelped, spinning in her chair. "What are you doing? You're supposed to knock first!!" She jumped up and grabbed her dressing gown, wrapping it round her (with an embarrassed blush).

She glanced at the door... hold on... she hadn't heard it actually open.. !!!? Surely... But this lady looked pretty normal. Well, maybe because the music was so loud, Riko hadn't heard it. That must be it. Speaking of which...

Riko quickly turned her speakers onto mute and stared back as sternly as she could, wearing her pink dressing gown.

Dendrite paused at the open window. There was a young human female, whose room it probably was. And there was a more mature female. Something was strange about her, though. Few humans were confident on this island--or mature. Those that were, were in league with the shadowy controllers of the Campus...A delicious shiver of anticipation ran through Dendrite's body. The alien didn't know what was going on, but it sensed possibility. When you were uncertain, that was when anything could occur.

The creature pulled its bulky body slowly up over the windowsill, large eye peeking into the room, tendrils swarming along the window's frame. The young female would probably not notice Dendrite until she looked at the window. The other woman probably would, and it was a delightful anticipation to wonder how she would react.

(I love your meticulous descriptions, niellwyn <33)

Taking a little offense about her music, Riko wore a pout and tightened her grip on her dressing gown. With a huff, she replied, "I was born like that. ..and I can listen to my music however I like. YOU shouldn't be walking into rooms uninvited! Who knows what you might have burst in on?"

Riko stormed over to her door and opened it, holding it and staring at the intruder. Her childish disposition was a typical characteristic of hers - she was very prone to tantrums - at the same time giggly or shy. Somehow, she was able to merge the different attitudes into one thing..

So, there she stood, clutching her night gown tightly in one hand, holding the door in the other, wearing a red blush and typical teenage stroppy expression.

Dendrite chuckled softly as it watched the "woman" react to its presence. Not surprise or fear, but...disdain and injured pride, as if Dendrite were intruding on her territory. How endlessly intriguing! Dendrite's tendrils skillfully tugged the window upward, opening it behind the curtains. Then the drapes themselves were twitched back, as the alien bulk filled the window, sliding slowly into the room. The monster had already climbed up the side of a building and opened the window from the outside, it seemed obvious the alien wasn't going to be easily deterred.

"...my name's Riko. Endoh Riko." She pulled the woman's hand down from her chin. "I-I'd prefer it if you lef- ...OH HOLY GOD!!"

The girl leapt away, back slamming against the wall as her beautiful eyes caught sight of the terrible creature entering through the window. She was frozen, paralyzed with fear! The petite young girl stayed there, petrified, her breath suddenly irregular, her hearbeat pounding. What the hell was this new intruder..?!

"Reallllllllly," Dendrite murmured, the alien's deep, dark voice almost a purr. It's tendrils wriggled through the air, the ropy grayish-green members looking eager to rub, squeeze or thrust anywhere they could manage. "I, on the other hand, am quite interested in who you are and why you are here. Just why, for example, did you barge into this...delightful little girl's room and aggressively accost her?" The monster's voice sounded teasing, just on this side of laughter.

Riko was extremely uncomfortable. She stayed against the wall, frozen by her fear. She didn't know this woman and she had never seen such a terrifying and bizarre creature as the newest intruder. She trembled, biting her lip, feet turned inwards.

"G-Go.. go away..!!!" she cried softly, afraid that if she raised her voice too much, the beast might attack her. The girl managed to hold her arms across herself defensively, but her eyes never left the monster.

Dendrite chuckled. "Ah, I knew you were no ordinary female..." The monster's large green eye flicked back and forth, surveying the room. "Interesting. Of course, I have always preferred the personal touch." Finally the alien looked back at the woman, slit-pupil looking her up and down. "Now...While I do not wish to leave, neither do I wish us to argue." The monster suddenly slithered along toward Riko, looming over the girl. A grayish-green tentacle reached out and pressed against her thigh...dragging slowly upward, leaving a trail of slime over her tight shorts, tugging her top up just a little to expose the creamy skin of her stomach...finally leaving a trail of ooze over her neck and cheek as it stroked her. "I'm curious as to what this delightful little morsel thinks...which of us she prefers!"
