[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?

[queenscheckmate]

You don't remember what year it was when you were brought here?

[tenwholeryou]

Why would I need to know what year it was?

[queenscheckmate]

Listen to me. It is important. Now answer my question.

[tenwholeryou]

[ordering him around huh.] No. It's stupid. I don't know the year.

[queenscheckmate]

[She stares at him, hard.]

[tenwholeryou]

[....... WHY IS THAT SCARY. might be backing away a little before he rallies.]

Why'd you want to know, anyway?

[queenscheckmate]

[Because Kallen's a scary person when she gets angry.]

It's important to me. If you don't remember, that's fine. But don't say it's stupid.

[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.]

[tenwholeryou]

[hnngh.]

Yeah, well... You can't forget something you didn't know in the first place.

[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.]

[queenscheckmate]

Right... [She finally puts the notebook down and relaxes in her chair.]

Then tell me, what type of homes were in your Japan? [If he can tell her that much, she can figure out what time he's from. She's testing out a theory here.]

[tenwholeryou]

In the villages, or what? [lady you are scary but you are confusing the heck out of this kid.]

[queenscheckmate]

In the village is fine. [ANSWER THE QUESTION B| She'll tell you why she's asking when you give her the answer she's looking for. Promise.]

[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.]

[tenwholeryou]

Wooden ones, I guess. They're not like this place at all.
