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.

[GDIT I WANTED TO EAT. NOW I'M SUDDENLY USING MY APPETITE.]

... I was. [(Guren's pilot) She remembers him when she was taken hostage and then he put his hands all over Guren and ahsdjkf. Can we talk later? I'm trying to eat right now, thus ignoring your question.]

[earlofpudding]

[You make it sound like such a bad thing! Guren was better for it, remember~?]

Hmm? Was? So you've left... [There's a slight pause. The Black... what... what was the word? Annoying.] ...the United Federation's forces?

[Since surely Rakshata would have repaired it after the last battle. Naturally, he doesn't pick up on the 'go away go away go away' vibes Kallen is giving off. Nope. He's just going to go back to reading while he waits for answers.]

[queenscheckmate]

I didn't leave. [EATING. WE'LL TALK WHEN I'M DONE.]

[earlofpudding]

[That's alright. He'll just sit there and watch. 8)]



[...though he'll stop being that creepy once he gets bored and goes back to reading again.]

[queenscheckmate]

[Food time is now...... until you keep staring.]

Do you mind?

[earlofpudding]

Do I mind what?

[No, seriously. What?]

[queenscheckmate]

I'm trying to eat. You're staring at me.

[earlofpudding]

How does that stop you from eating?

[Is he serious? Maybe. At least he doesn't wait until he gets told off over it to stop. The Earl picks up his book and turns around on the cafeteria bench, no longer facing her. He'll just lean against the table and read. Better?]

[queenscheckmate]

[She doesn't even answer that. But give her about ten minutes and she's done.]

It was bothering me.

Well, what is it? [There's no malice behind that. Remember, we're all traitors of Lelouch in some way.]

[earlofpudding]

[That's like them all being one big, happy dysfunctional family, right? No? Alright.]

Just making small talk~. [With someone who he at least knows isn't dead, missing, or pretending to be someone else. Change of pace! He doesn't turn back around, flipping to another page in the manual.] Say, do you happen to know which student Tsuki Aoi is?

[queenscheckmate]

[LOL no]

I do. But what do you want with her. [Tsuki is an ally.]

[earlofpudding]

[BUT HE COULD BE EVERYONE'S WEIRD UNCLE.]

Just to ask her a few questions, that's all.

[queenscheckmate]

[NO.]

About?

/all the creeper icons B|

[earlofpudding]

[JUST THINK OF HOW FUN THE HOLIDAYS WOULD BE WITH AUNT RAKSHATA AND UNCLE LLOYD FORCED TO EXIST IN THE SAME SPACE.]

About the systems here. She might know something. [Lloyd glances back over his shoulder at her.] Or I could just go for tearing the campus up blind. That could be fun, too~.

.....get out

[queenscheckmate]

[That would make Kallen run away from home with brother Gino trying to keep her there.]

What do you need to know? [Because what Tsuki knows, Kallen knows... sort of.]

never

[earlofpudding]

[Running away from that would be the wise decision, yes.]

Oh? You know something? [Whether that was just a question or him making fun of her... It's hard to tell when it sounds like he's making fun of everything every time he talks.] Do you know how the hologram projection functions?

B|

[queenscheckmate]

[And Kallen is all about wise decisions]

Do you want me to help you or not?

8)

[earlofpudding]

[Lloyd closes the manual and swivels back around to face her.]

Of course! [why so srs Kallen] So what did you learn from Aoi?

[queenscheckmate]

That this place is closely related to her home. The rules are generally the same but the "game play" so to speak is different.

[earlofpudding]

Different how?

[queenscheckmate]

Their game back home doesn't involve the taking of ones memories. Their school was based on a male dominance and only females were weapons.

[earlofpudding]

Well that's hardly relevant. Did she happen to mention where her version kept their servers?

[queenscheckmate]

I doubt she knows. [Gradual 'testing my patience' look.]

[earlofpudding]

[Smiiiiiiling.]

We'd know for certain that she didn't know if I could ask her!

[queenscheckmate]

What matter does it make?
