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))

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.]

1/2

[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]

[markofthebrave]

It would make people upset! [She'd run to the door and slam it shut, but really, he's right by it, and if she does that she just knows she's going to end up chasing him through the hall.]

[generalflirt]

Then you get one chance-! Tell me who it was, and I won't upset anyone else!!

[Door almost completely open now]

[markofthebrave]

[Gaaaaah, no!]

Only if you promise not to do anything embarrassing about it - I mean it, Masaomi! It's not his fault any more than it is mine.

[generalflirt]

[He leans in now, in the door frame as he shifts his position a bit]

What? Do you think I'll harass him for being in love with our Katara?

[markofthebrave]

[...'our Katara?' What the heck?]

I don't know where I'd get that idea.

[And now abandoning dryness for earnestness.]] Seriously, Masaomi, he's a nice guy - and this has been really hard. And I don't want anything distracting him when we have to fight.

[generalflirt]

[And now the looks mellows out into a flat look. It's put out, but not the lineface]

I know not to talk to him before the fight starts, Katara.

[markofthebrave]

[BUT YET YOU'RE TALKING TO HER.]

Oh good. Then I guess you won't go running through the halls.

[Victory is hers! And she will start to caaaaaaasually attempt to approach and walk passed him.]

[generalflirt]

Ooooh, I meant talk to them specifically! But there's no harm in figuring out who loves Katara?!

[Yes, he is raising his voice now]

[markofthebrave]

[Moving forward more quickly now with the entirely childish intent of clamping her hand over his mouth.]

Stop that!

[Because no one does, it was an experiment, it didn't last, and it wasn't real.]

[generalflirt]

[He tries to resist! He has height, of course, but not a lot. The result is him, in various states of her putting the hand there, saying:]

Kataaaara and mystery, sitting in a treeee!

[Yes, he is loving this]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh bluuuuush.

And still attempting to muffle him. And herd him away from that open door.]

You're acting like a child!

[...and so is she, but who's counting?]
