We are the named and we are known

[lucetimods]

Who: All Draftees
What: Arriving at the dorms
When: 26th
Where: Dorms, location unknown
Summary: Dorm information is here. This is your room!
Rating: PG... we hope?

Your characters are shuffling off to their rooms. Each room has their name beside it and only they can open the door. People can only enter their room if they're allowed in (or they leave the door open). Characters will find any requested items in their room already. If they have a requested vehicle, there will be another door in their room that will take them to the hangar to inspect their equipment.

((Mod note: Extra draftees won't experience their Shift Incompatibility handicap in their dorms. :|a))

[ There are a lot of things to dislike as far as battles go, especially in cases such as these. Innocent people getting caught up in things, fighting an enemy to the death for no other reason than knowing they'd be trying to kill him, too, not knowing what was going to happen.

But the waiting beforehand has always been particularly unfavorable. Chouji will likely as not not be spending much time in his own room today, in favor of keeping an eye open for people he knows in the halls. ]

we can make this quick >>

[markofthebrave]

[Of course, fate would have them bump into each other in the hallways.]

Oh - sorry!

[...even literally, this is what she gets for not looking both ways when she leaves a room. And... well, crap.]

...hey, Chouji.

[...this isn't awkward, this isn't awkward, this isn't --

This is so awkward.]

the Band-Aid Principle, of course.

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that- [ Simultaneous apologies do happen in the world. Sob, he must work on awareness of his immediate surroundings one of these days-

...ahaha. ]

Oh, hey. [ He fully intended to keep an eye out for her while he was here, giving space or not; it's the principle of the matter of wanting to protect people you care about. But conversation was something on the "being respectful of her request" list, and well.

Yeah, maybe this is a little bit awkward. ]

[markofthebrave]

[Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah. Now's when Katara really should just man up and call the whole thing off due to drafting and screw whatever emotional consequences occur.

But the words don't quite make it out of her mouth.]

Out visiting?

[Oh great. Small talk. Just go ahead and put your foot right in your mouth, Katara.]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ SHE HATES HIM Small talk: he has no issues rolling with it. ]

Kind of. Mostly just keeping an eye out, and maybe seeing if people will need help with anything. [ He's not the best ninja out there, but he's still more trained for this than a lot of people. It's his job to be useful. ]

[markofthebrave]

[Hey, she is not the only one who can man up here! ...even if she knows she probably is because he'd never want to step over whatever boundaries she'd set... unless he had something he felt he needed to make clear and oh hell, why is she thinking about this?]

That's really nice of you, Chouji.

[She wouldn't expect anything else, and never mind that she's doing the same exact thing and sob this is terrible, it's like when they first met and if she's going to talk to him this isn't how she wants to talk to him at all so she should really just go...]

1/2

[endgames]

[...the awkward levels in here are almost palpable. What the hell, you two.]

[endgames]

'scuse me, coming through. [Yeah, just squeezing between you guys without warning. Cramped hallway and all. Sure, he probably just could've gone around the other side of Katara, but that would be polite.

He makes sure to step on Chouji's foot, and all but elbow Katara on his dash through. Not enough to hurt, but enough to be annoying. And just to close the deal, he'll add without stopping to talk to them:]

Oh, and don't forget to stop by my room in ten for the meeting. [NINJA VANISH.]

[There. Now you have something common to complain about instead of pretending you're having a conversation. You'll thank him later. 8|]

1/2

[markofthebrave]

[Ow, elbow to the side.]

Hey!

[markofthebrave]

[...and then he vanishes.]

Well, that was rude.

[...and weird. What's up with that, Shikamaru?]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ ...dude, why did you step on my foot? >:

Chouji will watch him continue on his merry way with a raised eyebrow and wonder what's up with that. Annnnd then any possible grudge he might have held for it comes to the end of a downright admirable two-second lifespan. ]

Yeah. Not really like him, either.

[markofthebrave]

I know! [Indignant.]

And are you okay? I saw him step on your foot. [Hmph.]

[And yes, okay. Chouji is a ninja and they are going out to fight and this question is ridiculous. It's asked anyway.]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's no big deal. Hardly even felt it. [ Just has to puzzle out why Shikamaru did that at all, because his bro-senses didn't pick up a disturbance in the force at all >:|a

Geniuses. Pffeh. ] What about you?

[markofthebrave]

I'm fine. [She doesn't know what his problem was, but at least it brought them out of their Small Talk Pit, which she's grateful for - even if this checking in on each other is almost painfully familiar.]

Chouji... [She puts a hand on his arm. Momentary truce from space, okay?] ...don't get hurt out there, okay?

[generalflirt]

[Some broodery Masaomi might be doing today, but that does not mean that he's going to waste his time not getting to know people he'll probably be working with in the coming days. That means, well. Time to meet the Ninja.

And Chouji, you kind of stand out, so when he's lurking the halls, you're neigh-impossible to miss]

Chouji-kun, was it?

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ That's usually how things turn out. Drafts are not enough to disable his manners, either, so have a smile. ] That's me. And you're Masaomi-san, right?

[ or uh. that's what his mun thinks he'd call him ]

[generalflirt]

[first name is Masaomi, last name Kida. you decide But he nods]

That me, the one and only Masaoooomi Kida!

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ ...ffff, he can already tell this guy is something else. OH WELL. ]

It's nice to at least get to meet you outside of a strategy meeting.

[generalflirt]

Mmm~ That's true, after all, it's good to know teammates, isn't it?

[Eyebrow arch. Go]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

It's very important to get to know your teammates. Understanding each other is the first step in being able to work well together. [ Hammered into ninja for YEARS @_@ ]

[generalflirt]

[Hnnng. He'd rather get to know Temari-chan but-]

So, why don't you tell me a little about yourself, Chouji-kun.

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ Such a trooper. Scratching his head a little sheepishly over here. ]

Aa, there isn't too much to tell. I'm a ninja, from the same place as Shikamaru and Temari-san, and I've known Shikamaru since we were kids. I'll be doing my best to watch out for everyone while we're out fighting, too.

[generalflirt]

You're. ....A ninja.

[...He's a bit stuck on this]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

That's right. [ Th-that happens >_> ]

[generalflirt]

...That's somewhat surprising, somehow, Chouji-kun.
