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))

[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.

[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?

[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!

[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.

[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?

[markofthebrave]

[What? That wasn't what she was talking about at all - looks like her distraction worked a little too well. And what?]

Thanks. I guess. But I'm pretty sure you keep hitting on just about any girl.

[La la la, what comment about a girl's heart? Katara's... not regretting saying that much, exactly, but at the same time... but much more goes out of the general 'this is the way the experiment screwed with me' and into the specific 'this is how I feel, the fears and pains of my heart' and she is very hesitant to share those unless by doing so it serves a greater purpose.]

[generalflirt]

It's not like that makes you less special! [He says quickly, mock-defensively. ...Maybe a little real-defensively. He doesn't meant this deep, per say, it's just how he talks. He raises his hands in a mock-surrender to boot]

[generalflirt]

[He pauses here. He still hasn't talked to Hitagi... he doubts he will for some time. In fact, it wasn't until later on he even realized he was with Hitagi, and both the delay and the fact it happened at all are both surprising an unsettling to him. Mikado and Shuri are hardly a comfort... he's mentally blocked Zan'nen from his head but Frey and Kaori-]

Of course... that's probably just me pretending some good new romance can come out of it.

[He admits this with a sheepish smile, offering her a way out if she wants it more than anything.]

[markofthebrave]

[Her small answering smile is equally sheepish.] I can see how that would be nice. I'm really glad that I got to know him better, anyway. But - [I don't think that's going to happen with us] - it's all just really confusing right now. It doesn't help that we were both drafted after we agreed to give each other some space to figure things out.

[...that's a bit more than she meant to say, and heh, onwards she goes, hoping her way out is still there.] But I'm sure things will work out.

[generalflirt]

Wait-! The lucky man's here?! Oh! Oh! Now I have to meet him!

[He even straight up leaps to his feet at this point, tuuuurning on his heel to have a nice little wave at her]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh, hell no. Katara shoots up out of her seat.]

Masaomi, no!

[It figures that her doom would be blond.]

[generalflirt]

Aaah-! Do I have to race through the halls, seeking them out?!

[As he sliiiiiides towards his own door]

[markofthebrave]

[Following him!]

Don't you dare!

[Oh man, she can just see him doing it too ;;]

[generalflirt]

Why not?! [Opeeeeeeeennnnnninngggg the door. so slowly]
