Characters: Sora Himoto and YOU
Format: ANY
This log is: open as an empty doorframe.
Location: EVERYWHERE at some point.
Summary: One of Sora's forgotten things happens to be the layout of the school. She decides that it would still be a good idea to go for a jog around the entire campus. Predictable antics ensue.
Warnings: derp.

Sora Himoto was lost.

Not just slightly lost, something minor that could be fixed by spotting a familiar landmark and wandering towards it, but entirely, cripplingly, ridiculously lost. This had something to do with her sealed memories, she thought... Whatever she did, the map of the school just wouldn't stick. She was fairly sure that she was somewhere in the eastern section of campus, but the clock tower wasn't visible through the trees any more, and thus her only point of reference was gone. She got around the problem most days by following a friend around, or not straying beyond the main areas with clear signs, but today she'd been feeling particularly energetic, and had decided to celebrate this with ten laps of the school.

And now she didn't remember where the dorms were. Didn't know where anything was, even. So she did the only thing she could think of, which was wander across the school, looking totally bewildered.

Won't you help her?

Lyra had familiarized herself with the basic layout of the school, and was now wandering around, looking for anything odd. A bewilddered older girl certainly counted as that.

"Are you looking for something?" Lyra asked, tilting her head. She'd been reading through the manual, looking for any information that might help her win another fight.

[allurprincess]

A friendly face! Not one Sora recognised, but that didn't make it any less friendly. She came to a stop next to Lyra, and slumped. "Yes. Um, the dorms... Which way?"

[loyal_liar]

"Near the clocktower- are you new here?" Lyra smiled up at her cheerfully.

[allurprincess]

"No, not really," she looked around again, in case the clock tower was now visible, but by the time she'd confirmed that it wasn't the memory had slipped away again. "Ah, it's just that I don't remember where anything is!"

[summerstars]

Grenn had been about to look over the computer room and its surroundings, but she felt rather nervous about that whole prospect and had instead taken a roundabout way there. And thus, came upon a very confused-looking Sora.

Or was she just deep in thought? Grenn frowned, and wondered what to do. Considering Sora wasn't even walking in a straight line, however...

"Uh... Sora. What... Are you doing?" Grenn asked as she came up beside the redhead.

[allurprincess]

"I don't know where I am." Sora leant against Grenn's chair with perhaps too much drama as she complained, "Grenn, help me..."

[summerstars]

Grenn scratched her head. This school looked the same as the original Utopia, as far as she'd understood it, so why wouldn't Sora know where she was..?

"Um... Where did you want to go?"

Had she forgotten her sense of direction? But no, that didn't make sense, she'd seemed perfectly fine any other time... must be something else, then, but connected.

[allurprincess]

"The dorms?"

She had been heading towards the dorm, right? She thought so, but she'd gotten a little distracted by not being able to remember where... her expression went blank again, and she flopped over onto Grenn's lap with a groan. "I think that was it."

Suzaku was training in the woods, he had not been accosted by Huashi and Kotarou this time so he assumed this wasn't a clearing they had claimed as theirs. Even though he wasn't a discard he wasn't too comfortable training in the gym, he would rather train out here alone.

He heard a noise and looked around to see Sora, she looked confused. "Sora, are you alright?"

[allurprincess]

Confused didn't quite cover it. Somewhere along the line, she'd managed to fall into a bush. Her uniform looked like she'd fallen into at least ten, and then been mauled by some kind of large, ferocious animal that had a special hatred of blazers.

"Suzaku... Ah, so this isn't the way to the dorms?"

Damn.

[swordofzero]

"The dorms? No they are back that way," Suzaku pointed in the direction Sora had come from.

"Are you injured? Did you hit your head?" He looked worried, she looked like she had fallen a few times and was very confused.

[allurprincess]

"Oh," she looked back in the direction he pointed, "No, I'm just kind of hungry, and I haven't been able to find the dorms all day. But don't worry, I'm okay!"

More to the point, "Are you training?"

[myownfuture]

Reiko was so tired of this. She was at the docks, sitting cross-legged and looking across the river at... whatever was on the other shore. She sighed, resting her chin on her hands.

At least back home she'd known why this was happening. Back home she'd known how to stop it. Not only did she not know why this version of Exaclan existed, her memory of how Sora had planned to stop Iwahijiri was gone. So was her memory of whatever plan she'd had back when she'd belonged to Sumita. So she was stuck with... nothing.

This really sucked.

[allurprincess]

"Ah, I've found--!"

No, wait. This wasn't the dormitory building either. Sora stared out at the water, her brief expression of triumph fading comically slowly. "Where am I now?"

[myownfuture]

That was Sora's voice, wasn't it? Reiko perked up and glanced over her shoulder, up toward her knight.

"It's the harbor," she replied. "...Are you really lost?"

[allurprincess]

"Reiko!" She perked up again, jogging over so she could flop down next to the older girl. "I think I might be. Just a little..."

i herd u wanted a lloyd in ur thread B|

[earlofpudding]

Considering how early Sora had gotten up to go out and get lost do laps, she may not have expected anyone else to be lurking around the campus. That's not so. Some people might get up early to do stuff, other people just don't bother to go to sleep at all. He had way too much to get set up before he could do anything so mundane as sleep!

Currently, he was seeking out a better place to set up shop. A dorm room with the threats of a constantly disapproving Chinese man and a hovering mother of an assistant just wasn't going to cut it. The scientist at the door of one of the smaller, outdoors buildings, down on one knee and working on jimmying the lock open. It had briefly crossed his mind to go ask if these buildings had keys, but considering how many things were denied to Discards, he'd skipped over that disappointment and found himself a new set of tools to help him out instead.

it's everything I dreamed it would be 8)

[allurprincess]

"Um..." Sora hadn't wanted to approach at first; the man looked rather like a teacher, and she'd only had trouble from them since she'd arrived. But teachers didn't try to break into their own buildings, right? She dithered for a few seconds, watching him mess with the lock, and then jogged over.

"I think you can ask someone to let you in?"

[earlofpudding]

"Hm?" It wouldn't have been the first time he'd been mistaken as a teacher. Funny how the labcoat had that effect. Lloyd glanced back at Sora, his work on the lock stopping. Oh. Just a kid. He smiled at her. "Maybe! But with all the things Discards can't do, I didn't want to waste my time asking," he explained. He sounded amused by the whole idea, really.

He turned his attentions back to the handle. Now that she was up closer, Sora might notice a pair of glasses sitting up on his head, as if he'd pushed them up there for some reason and then forgot they were there.

"...this really shouldn't be taking so long." Squint. If the door would stop being blurry for a second, then he might actually get something done. What a pain.

[brokencrane]

Yuka had come out to the courtyard earlier for some time to herself; there were so many strange people in the dorms... She'd situated herself on a bench in a corner of the area, and was half-heartedly flipping through the Exaclan manual.

She looked up when she heard someone walk by. The girl looked about her age, and also really confused for some reason. Maybe she was lost? The grounds were pretty big, Yuka'd gotten lost herself a few times.

If she was lost, it would be good to help her. And she looked nice enough, so it was probably safe... "Ummm, hello?"

[allurprincess]

Another friendly face! They were the only thing keeping Sora going as she tried to get back to her exercise bag, wherever she'd left it. Somewhere on the outside path, out of the way... maybe someone had moved it. She gave up for now and changed directions to reach her with a few seconds' brisk jogging.

"Good -- is it morning?" She flopped down on the bench next to the unfamiliar girl, beaming even as she caught her breath. "Good morning!"

[brokencrane]

"Ah--" Well that was unexpected. But at least she looked friendly? "Good morning. Um, are you okay? You looked confused..."

/shamelessly adds to your tags

[willbeurprincess]

Koharu's first class was over, and while she had missed Sora this morning, she had assumed it was merely a case of ships passing in the night or some such thing. Night. Night--

"Sora?" There was the object of her thoughts wandering past the building, looking thoroughly bewildered.

you can shamelessly add to my tags all night

[allurprincess]

"Koharuuu..." It was the despairing plea of a Sora who hadn't been able to find anything for about four hours. "I'm lost."

omai

[willbeurprincess]

Koharu hurried towards her, beaming smile in full force.

"Where were you trying to go? I didn't think it was much different from home."
