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?

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.

"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?"

"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.

Once he'd smiled at her, that was Sora convinced. She crossed the remaining distance, and leant down to look at the lock with him despite her complete lack of door-related knowledge.

"I could break it down, probably..." it was said to herself, rather than to him, but she was close enough that it was all academic at that point. This also had the added bonus of bringing her close enough to notice the other problem. "Ah, your glasses..."

Lloyd's door-related knowledge could make up for Sora's lack of door-related knowledge. No worries.

"No, no. Then I would have to fix the entire door before someone noticed. A broken lock is easier to disguise." He frowned in concentration at the handle. Why wasn't this-- "Glasses?" He looked up at her. "What glasses?"

She pointed to the top of his head, ever helpful.

"Tsuki sometimes forgets her glasses... she never admits it, though," she straightened again, to peer into one of the darkened windows. "Why do you need to get in here? Um, Mr...?"

Lloyd reached up to pat the top of his head and blinked. Oh. Hello, glasses.

"Huh." He pulled them down back over his eyes and stared at the door handle that was now, suddenly, back in focus. "Oops. That memory is going to cause an awful lot of explosions." If he couldn't stop work long enough to realize something was wrong with his eyesight...

Eh. He would let everyone else worry about that one.

Now that he could see, he got to work with far less fumbling around. "Just looking around~." Click, went the lock. He grinned and slipped everything back into the pockets of his coat before standing. "I would tell you my name if I could, but alas! They took that one away, too!"

As the lock clicked open, Sora remained where she was, expression falling into confusion.

"... e-explosions?"

"Yes. Explosions."

If Sora had expected a more thorough explanation, she was going to be disappointed. Well. Okay, maybe not. It wouldn't be beyond Lloyd to talk about how he spent most of his time inventing horrible weapons of mass destruction. Now if only he could remember the ones he had already invented...

Lloyd held the door with the newly broken lock open.

"Ladies first?"

Y'know, just in case there were spontaneous monsters lurking around in there.

"Yes!" She agreed readily not because she was a lady, but because as a knight, it was her job to protect anyone, apparent mad scientist or not. She entered the building with a smile at him, and turned to take in the empty entrance room. No monsters. Nothing at all, really. It was a little creepy.

"Why did you want to get in here?"

Once it was apparent nothing was going to leap out and kill the kid, Lloyd stepped into the room after her. He looked around. "I'm looking for somewhere to set up a..." Lab might not be the best word. Hm. "Workshop. My tinkering isn't very appreciated in the dorm."
