[Dining Hall, Open post]

[queenscheckmate]

Kallen wanted to go back to the dorm right after class. Problem was she hadn't eaten all day. She was on edge, watching someone's actions. It was like nothing from the Academy changed, except their setting arrangement. There was no way Lelouch could be alive, but she found herself in class, staring at him in disbelief. She was glad none of the teachers called on him because if she heard his voice... well Kallen had no idea what she would actually do.

She stopped by the dining hall. It was late (considering most people weren't going to dinner at this time) so thankfully there weren't many people. So she ordered some food, picked it up, and made her way to an empty table. She could block out the idle chatter so she could get some studying in. Sandwich in hand, she nibbled on it while rereading her notes.



{Feel free to come bother her. Prose, action, choose and I'll reply back to you in the same format}

{edit; because I'm the most awesome person in the world. RETCON! I forgot Kallen doesn't know how to eat a sandwich, but she's noming it up in here. Sandwich is now beautiful diamonds fries or something.}

[someone's making a brief dash into the dining hall for some food whilst it's nearly empty. That someone is depressingly young and short, and his uniform is grubby already.]

[except he skids to a halt at her table, both hands full of bread and fish fingers, to stare at her work.]

What're you doing?

[queenscheckmate]

Eating while studying. [Not looking up. Sorry.]

[tenwholeryou]

[..... well fine.]


Why? [in roughly the same voice he'd use to ask why someone was sticking their hand in boiling oil.]

[queenscheckmate]

[She takes a bite out of her sandwich.] Because you can kill time if you do both at the same time.

[tenwholeryou]

None of the classes make sense. What's the point? None of them talk about Japan or anything. [biased. Very biased.]

[queenscheckmate]

[That gets her attention.]

You're from Japan?

[tenwholeryou]

Yeah? What about it?

[queenscheckmate]

What year was it?

[tenwholeryou]

The year? How should I know?

[As soon as Kallen is settled and eating, Tougyu will take the seat across from her and upend a small box onto the table, spilling its contents everywhere. Most of it seems to be spools of thread and scraps of cloth but there is an occasional lump of what looks like a half finished doll among the mess.

That finished, Tougyu pulls a needle from his breast pocket as if it's the most natural thing in the world, threads it and begins working on one of the said lumps. All without ever looking up at Kallen, as if she's not even there.]

[queenscheckmate]

[She doesn't look up, but she's slightly annoyed. One, did you REALLY HAVE TO SPILL YOUR SHIT EVERYWHERE? On top of her notes, thankfully none in her food. But the spools hit her tray. Two, THERE ARE 1238490 OTHER SEATS IF YOU WANT TO PLAY DOLLHOUSE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.]

[If you keep quiet, she'll keep on ignoring you too.]

[frozen_desires]

[Yes, obviously. He's been a student at the original academy for three years so he's very good at being obnoxious.

He likes this table, so he shall sit at this table and continue to work away at his half-finished dolls. Slowly it will start to gain shape as a bunny rabbit with two floppy ears. Then Tougyu will fashion it a crude skirt from what seems to be a shredded towel before snipping up some red cloth and adding that to its head.

... funny, is he looking at Kallen through his bangs as he works? Must be your imagination.]

[queenscheckmate]

[If you make that doll in the life image of her, there will be problems, BIG problems. But she keeps on going on ignoring him, studying and eating. But she's getting that feeling that he's looking at her. But she doesn't even worry about it. Start trouble, she'll finish it by kicking your ass.]

[But it's civil time right now.]

[frozen_desires]

[It isn't anything remotely close to a realistic image of you, Kallen. No worries.

But it is starting to vaguely resemble something that might look like the pilot if she were ill-proportioned and had bunny ears and buttons for eyes. After a Tougyu has finished stitching on another strip of "hair," he pauses to look at Kallen and tilt his head this way and that.

Then, after a moment, he grabs another patch of cloth, similar to the fabric the doll is made out of and begins stitching it on... the chest area. Apparently he has decided his bunny doll needs to be as properly endowed as his base.]

[queenscheckmate]

[Without looking up]

Just what do you think you're doing?

[frozen_desires]

[Tougyu doesn't actually respond to Kallen, despite being directly addressed. Instead, he finishes up the bunny and sets it aside before reaching forward and grabbing a spool of thread that has rolled onto her notes.]

[queenscheckmate]

[When his hands reaches her notes, her hand moves pretty quickly to pin his wrist to the table. Kallen might be out of training, but her body remembers everything. This time, she looks up and glares at him.]

I said, what do you think you're doing?

[princesspowerful]

[Molly was going to find a snack when she finds her roommate instead!]

Whatcha doin'?

[queenscheckmate]

[Kallen looks up because the voice is familiar.]

Studying while eating.

[princesspowerful]

That sounds boring.

[queenscheckmate]

It might be to some.

[princesspowerful]

Cuz it is!

[queenscheckmate]

I suppose if you don't want to flunk out, it is.

[princesspowerful]

Well school is dumb anyway.

[queenscheckmate]

Right... [Half paying attention now.]
