How far down would you fall if you never came up again?

[queenscheckmate]

Characters: Kallen and you.
Format: Action please. Just intro is written in prose.
This log is: OPEN
Location: Three options: a. Dining Hall, b. Courtyard, c. the Pale dorm common room. She goes to all three in that order.
When:: "Tuesday" IG
Summary: Kallen's just up and about, walking around to get some fresh air and food. And if you're a player and MAYBE convincing enough, she MIGHT let you use her weapon.

a) When Kallen woke up, she was alone but wasn't particularly disturbed by it. She was still 'here' wherever 'here' was. Pushing herself to sit up in bed, she looked around the room, down at herself, and then specifically at her hands. It was gone... not her hands silly, the blood. She remembered falling asleep in the corner and-- Gino must have moved her to her bed. A small grateful smile fell onto her lips as she finally got out of bed and holy crap she was hungry.

She made her way over to the dining hall and grabbed something to eat. Getting a lot of food and stuffing it into her stomach was a bad idea waiting to happen, so she decided against that. She grabbed a lunch set containing a small bowl of rice, salad, and beef bowl. She didn't tend to eat actual Japanese food often (since she usually packed her own and it was sandwiches), but for once, she figured she would indulge herself. After all, she was hungry.

b) Contently from there, she walked to the courtyard. Despite the dream or whatever it was everyone had and the creepy effects that happened here not too long ago, Kallen felt... strangely okay. It probably had something to do with the hallucinations. She could see this fake world scenery for what it was and come to appreciate it. It was weird, really, but she felt a lot better to be able to look at the sky, and well, not see the unnatural colors it carried that day. Not to mention the blood that followed her.

She wasn't going to go to classes. She wasn't sure if she was up for that just yet. But she stared in the direction of the classrooms. Kallen told herself that she would go to tomorrow. It would give her enough time to rest up and regain her focus. The teenager also half appreciated that she wasn't a Player this round. There was no way she would have been able to fight. Come the next round and if she was named a Player, she would be ready then. But in the mean time she would have to find out some information. About who they were up against. She had a feeling that no student would have the answers so she would have to do so herself.

c) Kallen headed back to the dorm and sat in the common room. She stood against the windowsill, looking out the window. She knew she had homework to make up for the classes she missed, but that didn't seem to bother her. She knew she was smart, but felt like... there was something more to it. Like... how everything just came naturally to her. Probably another lost memory she would have to figure out on her own.

I'm sure there's a way to return them once we have access.

[Even if he thinks that part is just an elaborate bit of hypnosis, he'll keep that theory to himself. He doesn't need a bunch of Knightmare pilots busting up all that data out of spite later on...]

[queenscheckmate]

You've only been here for what, a day or two and you're sure there's a way to return them? I doubt that... a lot.

[earlofpudding]

I'm sure. Though if you're so doubtful, you might want to hurry up and win yours back... before I get the chance to break anything!

[queenscheckmate]

Let's see how far you get. You can either let us get our memories back or get dog piled by everyone who's memories you messed with. Your choice.

[earlofpudding]

What boring options. [A sigh.] I suppose that means you aren't going to help me find that Aoi girl?

[queenscheckmate]

That's right.

[earlofpudding]

Ah. That's fine. She's bound to turn up somewhere.

[The Earl snaps the book shut and stands.]

Have a nice day, Guren~.

[Nah, never did ask for her real name, did he?]

[queenscheckmate]

[Facepalm.]

You could ask me for my name, you know.

[earlofpudding]

I could do that...

[BUT GUREN IS SUCH A LOVELY NAME. Ahh, okay, he'll try to have some form of social skills for a second or two.]

What is your name? No one ever bothered to introduce us.

[queenscheckmate]

I couldn't. [Ie. remember the time this icon shows.]

Kallen.

[earlofpudding]

Ahh, right.

[Britannia's detention system really should reconsider that whole bondage thing it has going...]

Kallen? [He's heard that name before. Probably from when Suzaku would go on and on about school to Cecile.] Alright. Kallen it is.

[queenscheckmate]

[There's something hidden in that system of there. Something they like]

Thank you.

[earlofpudding]

[It was supposed to be hidden? They sure botched that one.]

Mmhm. [Lloyd turns to go, giving her a little backhanded wave as he moves to wander off.] Bye-bye for now, Kallen~.

b!

[siscon]

[ that was no dream - that was a nightmare.

she noticed some people were acting normal. maybe they had brushed all of this nonsense up and were going on with their lives.

Hiyo hadn't.

she walks with heavy footsteps, her eyes down on the floor. she's been trying to pretend that she's alright - that she's gotten over all of this already like everybody else. but it doesn't work when she's by herself, even in a crowd of people heading to class.

she's managed to walk around at the high school building - it's interior much like the building beside it, but the people here are much too big, trampling over her if they weren't careful.

her figure bumps into someone else - this isn't the first time today - and she falls back into that same old tradition of her's, faking everything. ]

O-Oh, I'm sorry! I really wasn't watching where I was going ... ! [ she recognizes this figure. ]

Kallen?

[queenscheckmate]

[Yeah, seriously]

Right... [He's really weird.]

[queenscheckmate]

[Kallen's pushed back a bit. She wasn't paying attention, so Hiyo bumping into her catches her off her guard. But she looks down at the other girl. Something seems off... wrong. Kallen's not even sure if she should question it.]

Hiyo. [She hadn't seen the girl since... what was that-- math class?]

It's okay. Are you all right?

--> B!

[Cécile enjoys the courtyard. She's been doing her best to put up a good front and attend classes-- in large part because answering the questions correctly, random though the selection is, seems to be an ideal way to make some extra tokens. For now, though, acting like she's in high school again had proven too much for her, which may explain why she was meandering around the courtyard, enjoying the atmosphere. It was nice out here, wasn't it? She glanced over in time to see an extremely familiar face and headed over. ]

You're here, too!

[queenscheckmate]

[Kallen hears the woman call out to her. She looks familiar but-- she turns in her direction]

I'm sorry?

C

[hairwag]

[Tomoko had entered the common room as quietly as possible, and was about to enter the dorm- when she suddenly notices Kallen sitting on the windowsill. She approaches her slowly, then speaks up.]

E-excuse me...

[queenscheckmate]

[She looks dowe at the girl]

Is there something wrong?

[She sounds worried.]

[hairwag]

I was wondering if you were alright. You're sitting here all alone and...

[And. That's it.]

[queenscheckmate]

Oh...

I'm better, thanks. What about you? You were shaken up the other day...

[wasabisandwiches]

[Cécile smiles at her as she approaches, standing a normal distance away. She remembers you, even if they didn't interact too terribly often.]

I shouldn't be surprised that you're here, given how many other people I recognize!

[queenscheckmate]

Some of us have been here for a while. I'm guessing you're a new arrival.

[wasabisandwiches]

Mm, I really just arrived! It's nice to see so many familiar faces.
