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))

[ after the first day ]

[endgames]

[Shikamaru's not sure what he was expecting. The unexpected, maybe? Look underneath the underneath and all that stuff he learned in the academy - be prepared for anything.

He wasn't prepared.

It's not a bad feeling. He can tell that much. There's a nearly silent intake of air, and he leans forward just so, staring at his hands as if trying to see it.

It feels like a sudden current through the stream, following the chakra pathways through his organs and brushing past his cells. Never has he been so conscious of it all before - not on this level. It's akin to sensory overload, but gentler if that's possible.

Trained to be so responsive, his chakra spins, less diluted by strain and the energy from the soldier pills that punched through it like a boulder. It begins to clear; to build. And while he doesn't speak, his breathing is easy and the tremors in his hands have finally stilled.]

[Katara notes the change in his breathing and that he seems steadier, more inside his skin - good. Good.]

Better?

[endgames]

[It takes him a second to respond, too busy processing it all and trying to categorize just what that feeling was. But he nods - slowly at first, then once more and firmer as he looks at her again.]

Yeah.

[ after the first day ]

[markofthebrave]

Good.

[And she really is glad to hear that - especially since she won't be going out with him tomorrow. Knowing he'll be able to take care of himself is important.

Katara tucks the vials back under her tunic.]

We'll do the same thing if you need it tomorrow night, too.

[And the night after that... and after that, if it's necessary.]

As long as they can give it to me here - we might as well use it.

[ after the first day ]

[endgames]

Maah, I don't think that'll be necessary. I want to be able to sleep at some point, you know.

[...and not depend on tools provided by the Malnosso to replenish his chakra stores. He trusts Katara and her ability to make the right call on this, but it's still not a situation he wants to place himself in.]

[markofthebrave]

[Huh?]

You should still be able to sleep! [A quick smile.] You just might be able to take a shower without risk of drowning first.

[ after the first day ]

[endgames]

Not now I have to get tired again before I do. Man, how troublesome. I'll have you know I wasn't planning on getting up after I sat down until now.

[Look at how complicated you made things. Oh, and there's probably a thank you in there. Somewhere.]

[ after the first day ]

[markofthebrave]

[Hmph! How rude! Katara rolls her eyes, smiling a little.]

Oh no, not that.

[ after the first day ]

[endgames]

I don't think you realize just how great of a thing I had going there. Simplicity is a good thing.

[He scratches at the back of his head.] But joking aside, thank you.

[ after the first day ]

[markofthebrave]

Any time. [And she means that, so you keep it in mind.]

[That would be her cue to go.]

Be safe out there tomorrow. All of you.

[ after the first day ]

[endgames]

Mm. [...there's stuff he wants to ask, but it's getting late. And they both have a lot ahead of them tomorrow. So all he does is get up to walk her to the door.] You too.

[ after the first day ]

[markofthebrave]

[You ninja are all such gentleman. It amuses her a little, but fortunately Michael gave her a lesson on what chivalry is, and she doesn't say anything about it.]

Good night.

[And off she goes]
