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.

Comments

C is for C.C., that's good enough for me!

[cheesetwo]

[It's easy enough to sneak up on a distracted Kallen.] Oh, so you're here, huh?

[queenscheckmate]

[She turns her head to face C.C. She's not distracted per say, but she's always aware of her surroundings. She is a bit surprised to see her, considering it's been over 2 months (3 if you count being in this place).]

You're new here then.

[cheesetwo]

I guess you could say so. [She strides a bit closer.]

Interesting place, isn't it? You can fight all you ever wanted and not even have to hide yourself at school here.

Though I guess it's not the same without Zero to protect here, is it?

[queenscheckmate]

[She doesn't answer that because there's a pressing concern.]

What's the last thing you remember.

[cheesetwo]

Last thing I remember before coming here?

Well, Zero and I were having quite an intimate moment, as I recall.

[queenscheckmate]

[Twitch]

You're going to have to be more specific. And by specific, I don't mean details. What was going on?

[cheesetwo]

After the Black Knights took control of Britannia, of course. You didn't forget that, did you?

[While that may not make sense to anyone else, that's how she saw it, having forgotten the Black Knights' betrayal.]

[queenscheckmate]

No, it's more like you're not remembering it correctly.

[cheesetwo]

Oh? I suppose you like your version better?

[queenscheckmate]

No, your version is wrong. But now is not the time to argue.

[cheesetwo]

Oh, I suppose you'd like to share what it is the time for, then?

[queenscheckmate]

Not for your sarcasm for one. But you know Lelouch and a lot of the people who are supposed to be dead are here?

[cheesetwo]

I've seen Euphemia, but...

Who is Lelouch?

[queenscheckmate]

Who's Lel--

[Joking... you're joking.]

...You don't remember Lelouch? Talk about irony...

[cheesetwo]

Irony? I don't know what you're talking about. I only remember important people.

[queenscheckmate]

[lma-- oh I shouldn't be laughing]

Zero.

1/2

[cheesetwo]

[Oh but she is amused by this.] Zero is named Lelouch?

Next you'll tell me you were Charles zi Britannia's one-hundred and twelfth wife.

2/2

[cheesetwo]

[But just after speaking, C.C. looks distant for a moment before returning focus to Kallen.]

Oh, Kallen.

[queenscheckmate]

Really wish you forgot how to make snide comments.

Just remember I'll be saying, "I told you so" later.

[cheesetwo]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[queenscheckmate]

And you won't; not until later.
