Mm, sleeping was the last thing Fuuko could do. Fuuko thinks that anyone who can fall asleep quickly on a night like that must be a professional sleeper.

[Sitting up now, being slumped over a table isn't the best of positions to sleep in.]

Fuuko is surprised to still be falling asleep after the first few times.

[corrinesbell]

Well did you actually lay down and sleep or do mean people like me keep waking you up in the middle of it?

[starfishlovesyou]

No, if Fuuko was going to lay down and sleep somewhere then Fuuko would lay down on a bed. Fuuko would rather be woken up at this point, Fuuko does not want to be seen as lazy.

[corrinesbell]

I don't think you're lazy. Do you feel okay, though? You might be sick.

[starfishlovesyou]

That's good, it would be terrible if a rumour about how lazy Fuuko is got out. [Maybe not as terrible as being drafted and being where she is now though.]

Fuuko feels fine, maybe if Fuuko eats something then Fuuko will stay awake.

[Eating something seemed like a good plan after the first few times she fell asleep, but she didn't plan on falling asleep again before she had the chance to eat anything. At least she made it to the mess hall.]

[corrinesbell]

I think maybe Fuuko should go sleep in a bed for a few hours. [But. If she wants to eat and thinks it will help.] I'll go get you some food though.

[wildbluevagner]

I kind of have to in order to do it best. [That's one thing that makes him nervous.It has seemed reassuring to consider how easily he could teleport himself and others to safety. But he knew that doing it in such an unfamiliar environment could compromise him, a lot.] And my limit's two miles.

But I can still try. The closest thing I have to a plan so far, is just me and my teammates watch each other's backs. [It being his first draft, he felt he'd be most comfortable around the people he knew, especially since he's fought alongside them before. Still, he wouldn't turn down a chance like this to help others.] I still want to do what I can to help.

[starfishlovesyou]

Maybe. [There's a nod and a smile at that.] Thank you very much.

[corrinesbell]

Hey, maybe I'll even find something that looks like food.

[And up she goes. It'll be a good idea for her to eat something too.]

[ Twilight just feels lucky to be in the air.

Jungle, she could deal with, but she wasn't exactly comfortable in a place with foliage as thick as the Everfree Forest. She'd read the section on that sort of environment, and urban environments, so often that she'd committed parts of them to memory.

But the air? Well, she's not the world's best flyer yet, but... there's a certain instinct to the way she spreads her wings and flies, an instinct she never had until her coronation three weeks ago, and it feels... well, marvelous.

So she goes exploring, and in all likelihood you'll find her in the air, though not all the time - a pony has to rest her wings and walk every so often, too. ]

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Twilight's exploring the skies when she sees Kirk sitting on a bench, looking uneasy. She lands in front of him. ]

Captain? Is everything all right?

Bil

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Twilight does a double-take when she sees him. Well, that's not a color she's seen on many humans before. ]

Ah... pardon me for the obvious observation, but... you're blue!

[starfishlovesyou]

[Good luck with that Sheena. In the mean time, Fuuko stretches her arms out and tries to look forward to whatever edible delight Sheena brings back.

It's not long before she falls asleep again though, head down, chin pressed against her chest.]

[wise_maiden]

Two miles... that's good to keep in mind. Although with the possibility of Shifters around, you don't want to get caught anywhere. I've included small radios in the emergency packs, just in case something does come up.

"It's hard to believe the General could lose sway over so many of his followers so quickly. Especially with the war effort going poorly as you said. You'd think they'd want to follow. Unless this new sect has different goals and there always was some hidden friction..."

Law, of course, knows the reason why. Zompano. He's heard the rumors from the servants. Mind control powers. But the scale of people under his sway suggests more...

So he walks a fine line in what he decides to reveal. In what Bil might expect to reach Law's ears and what he actually knows. The cost benefit analysis is constant running. And his poker face, set at concern, is flawless.

"How bad is it, now? With this friction in the enemy ranks, there should be time to recoup some of those losses."

[corrinesbell]

[When she comes back to the table and finds Fuuko asleep again? She really starts to worry. Setting down her laden tray, she pops into the seat beside Fuuko and...well, her ideas have run out. Waking her again seems cruel.]

Fuuko?

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry had been told to go help the healers, he really doubts that he'll be given anything important to do. Probably just something to keep him out of the way. Currently he's just been getting food for people who seem to be working on other things.

When he see's Raine working on something, he's already got a tray of food with her name on it. Just a piece of bread with soup and a glass of milk. He stops in front of her as he looks down at the small bags she's working with. However, first he should give her her food before he asks what she's doing.]

I brought you some food, Professor.

[calmbeforethe]

Ah, Kurt. [She gives him a friendly smile - one that turns a little sheepish because, well.] Hello. This wasn't quite how I wanted to run into you.

[starfishlovesyou]

[She mumbles something under her breath when she hears her name, but she sighs heavily soon after and goes back to how she was before. Breathing deeply, sound asleep in an incredibly uncomfortable position.]

[calmbeforethe]

[Ororo eventually gets to looking for the rest of her housemates - they arrived from separate places, but the list of draftees had concerned her. She finds herself looking for familiar faces and was glad when she finally found one in particular... but why was she huddled against the wall?]

Mia? Are you all right?

[starfishlovesyou]

[It's in the evening when she spots Kouki concentrating on something. She watches him for a moment before coming over and speaking up.]

Kouki-san, can Fuuko borrow you for the next ten minutes? It's very important.

[In her hands she's holding one of the first aid pouches that were being given out earlier.]

[gleamed]

She took a deep breath and went on. "His name is Rock...Lee." She deliberately separated out the names, instead of rushing them together as she usually did. "He was supposed to meet me yesterday for training, but he didn't show up. He would NEVER miss an appointment like that. I didn't know how to send him a special message on the journal, and I don't know where he lives, but could you tell me..."

She swallowed.

"Could you tell me, has he gone home?"

[alloys]

You don't usually ask our permission before you mess with us.

[wise_maiden]

As in constantly having to deal with attacks from them? That would unnerve anyone.

[wise_maiden]

-- Hm? [She glances up from the latest pack in front of her after depositing a roll of bandages in it, blinking in surprise at first, before smiling at her student.]

Ah, hello Henry. Thank you - I've been so busy I haven't had time to grab anything yet. Could you put it over on the little table for me? [Most of her put-together workstation is cluttered with various items and bins, but there's enough empty space to fit a tray if a few bandage rolls are gently pushed out of the way.]
