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.

[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!

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

I'm sorry?

[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!

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

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

[She nods]

I know we met for a moment and I don't mean to be rude but I don't remember your name.

Oh! I should have realized. My apologies. [she offers her hand out] I'm Cecile Croomy.

[She's almost hesitant, but it's not because this woman fought for the other side for a while. But the hallucinations are gone, so she's okay with this. She takes Cecile's hand.]

It's all right. I'm Kallen.

It's nice to meet you-- for real, this time-- Kallen. [She gives the hand a firm shake before releasing it.]

Yes. I would have to say we met last under unfortunate circumstance.

It was certainly something like that! [she laughs a little, regardless.] Memorable, at the least.

[It's not exactly something Kallen wants to remember, but--]

I don't mean to offend you but... aren't you a bit.. too old to be attending high school? [She means the uniform. You're dressed like a student. She figures Cecile would be a teacher or staff... or SOMETHING.]

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