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))

Re: /done now, promise

[generalflirt]

Eeeh~ You seem to be fond of Shikamaru-kun.

[He probably. Intended for that to be leading but it doesn't come off as such due to his lack of gusto what with still being a little lost in his thoughts.

[markofthebrave]

[It's interesting - watching his face fall flat again. She'd not seen that expression on him before, not really, and it takes a moment for her to associate it with him - and she can't help but wonder how many times he's made that face before, but just not let her see.

That thought is gone in a flash, and barely remembered, however, when he speaks. And it... makes her the slightest touch uncomfortable. Not because of Shikamaru, but because of Chouji. Her gaze drops from his and darts to the side for a moment as she recalls some event!memories before it returns, a bit wryly, to his. She shrugs.]

He's a good friend.

[So yes, of course she's fond of him.]

[generalflirt]

Ooooh.... Fond, are we?

[And he grins even more, looking at her reaction and thus draws an incorrect conclusion. Or at least... pretends to. But he puts a hand below his chin and nods]

Fond, hmm?

[And now, it is there]

[markofthebrave]

[You are so lucky she has no more small pillows to throw at you, Masaomi.]

Not like that!

[And blushing. So much blushing. Because just - no.

...she's a bit glad, though, to see him return to this. She'll be gladder, of course, when he immediately drops the topic at her calm and reasonable denial.]

[generalflirt]

Reeealy? Not like that at all?

[And he leans in, grinning ear to ear. Good times, that]

[markofthebrave]

[And she leans forward too. If she was standing, her hands would be on her hips.]

Yes, really. Not like that at all!

[...but she is still blushing, just a bit.]

[generalflirt]

Your face says otherwise, Katara~! [With a laugh, he points at her face, winking here] Aaaaah, leader and minion- scandal!! Scandal!!

[Here he makes blaring sounds like a police car complete with his hands "exploding" for blinking lights]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh for crying out loud--]

You're out of your mind! That has nothing to do with him!

[generalflirt]

Oh! So there is someone!!

[GRIIIIIIN]

[markofthebrave]

[Crossing her arms now.] No, there isn't.

[Or... is there? No. There isn't.] It's complicated.

[A quick glance up.] Don't tell me you weren't affected last week at all.

[Because then the world would just be righteously unfair.]

[generalflirt]

[He say that coming. He laughs and- In a sing-song voice:]

Thiiiis~ isn't about me!

[markofthebrave]

Yeah? Then it's not about me either.

[Dude, you are asking more questions than her own brother, and even though part of her would really like to confide in someone, the fact of the matter is that they're in the middle of a war.]

Besides, we've got other things to think about right now.

1/2

[generalflirt]

[But he was almost distracted from it. He frowns. And then sighs...

But then decides he doesn't want to be depressed]

[generalflirt]

[So he smirks and breaks all the rules by leaning in on her to within this is not good distance, smirking]

Maybe, but isn't this more fun?

1/2

[markofthebrave]

[Eyes like this. WHY SO CLOSE, MASAOMI.

'More fun?'

Who asks questions like that?]

[markofthebrave]

[...

Pfff. Just - laughing a little.]

Maybe.

[If she can push her arm straight out and it connects with your shoulder, you're still too close. If it connects, she is pushing you. Move back, Masaomi.]

[generalflirt]

[He accepts that one, if only because he was suspecting it and being flippant enough that he can relaxing to... not be paranoid. Which is a plus. He grins]

So tell me! I'm a guru of love!

1/2

[markofthebrave]

Right, and I'm the world's greatest earthbender.

[markofthebrave]

[...but he looks so eager and happy and normal that Katara relents. After all, she hasn't spoken to anyone about this yet, and it really... wasn't all that bad.]

The guy I was with during the experiment was just... really a great guy. That's all.

1/2

[generalflirt]

[Oh wow she told him? He blinks in surprise, taken aback a bit]

[generalflirt]

Is this what the call- [And cue dramatic pose in which he pretends he's holding a rose and putting it in his teeth. It doesn't work as well without a real flower]

After-image love?

[markofthebrave]

[Don't get too excited, man. She hasn't told you his name yet. Sob.

Her voice is quiet and she doesn't quite look at him.]

I don't think it's anything like that. I know that I don't love him anymore. [Even though that hurts to say.] But I do know that all the things that I really appreciated about him when we were in love were true. And it just... hurts to know that we don't feel the same, not really.

[generalflirt]

[Oh. She's being serious still. Holy shit he is not used to girls taking him this seriously. When she looks away he even feels some cold sweat on the back of his neck. Is he even qualified to talk about this stuff? He really should get used to this if it's going to be like it all the time . . . ]

Are they still true though?

[markofthebrave]

[Looking back up at him, Katara nods, smiling a little.]

Yeah, they are. And that's what makes it confusing.

[And it doesn't help that he's here, and she's going to be fighting with him tomorrow.

...she doesn't want to think about that.]

At least we had a chance to talk about it, though. It was a lot better than last year.

[Why is why this part is harder.]

[generalflirt]

[...Last year. Confusing. He puts on a face and then points at her]

Kata~ra. If you ask me any guy who happens to fall for you once would be crazy not to fall in love with you every time. After all, even if I'm rejected twice, or maybe three or four times, it's not like I can resist stopping!

[So here's a shrug]

Buuut, a girl's heart is a little more complex, right?
