Iaran nodded at Elily, poor thing, that'd be horrible. I hope she gets better really quickly...

She quietly watched as two digital messages appeared above Elily and her bed. "Oooh, Elily, we have to be up and ready at the garden at 7:30 tomorrow. I'll get up at 6:30, then check everything, maybe even some of your stuff for you. And then you can get up at 6:45. We'll have breakfast at 7:00, and then we can re-check everything. Does that sound okay?"

Iaran wasn't usually that organised, but she felt that she needed to improve in her weaker skills for this journey.

"Okay then, goodnight Elily. See ya tomorrow morning.....

((Next post from me'll be when it's morning, so some of you need to get to your dorms and sleep ))

"Yeah..." Elily murmured, a sudden wave of exhaustion hitting her, and hard. "That sounds... just... fine..." She, too, like Iaran, was asleep.

Menai's eyes fluttered open. The curtains were glowing with the sunlight against them.

Squad sets off today.

Menai groaned, and looked at the clock. It was 6:50. When did the squad set off? She glanced up at the screen hopefully, wonderful if it would tell her.

SQUAD MEMBERS TO MEET IN MAIN SCHOOL GARDEN AT 7:30AM. VERY IMPORTANT.

Menai nearly fell out of bed at that. It looked like another hazardly rushed morning. She sighed, wondering if she was ever going to wake up and find she still had plenty of time. Still, better get going. She shot out of bed, got dressed into her white mage's outfit as quickly as she could, and then hurried into the bathroom, surveying her reflection critically as she brushed her teeth and washed her face. She'd leave the impossible hair-combing for later. She came out of the bathroom, and started searching around the dormitory for anything she had left. Nope. The only things were her roommates's possessions. She slipped into her shoes. It was 7:15 already. Great. She had over ten minutes to brush her hair and eat breakfast. She seized her roommate's comb and started driving it through her hair. After a minute of pain from breaking all the tangles (which was a waste of time, really, as they would form again in a few hours time,) she looked at the comb, and almost wailed in exasperation. Now, she had to pluck all the red hairs from her roommate's comb, too! Nah. No time. She'd apologize if she ever saw her roommate again. Right now, she needed to go to breakfast.

She raced at top-speed into the dining room, seized two pieces of toast, and crammed one into her mouth as she poured herself milk.

As usual, Karmina had been up early, but this morning she was compiling all the music she thought she needed. She was also searching the school high and low for a spare player to place the disc on. Ancient technology, she thought to herself in disgust. On the bright side, she really did get an ancient music player.

Chewing on a bit of apple, she slipped back into her room again one last time. It didn't seem there was anything she'd left.

Goodbye room, she thought silently with a pang of sorrow. She really didn't know when they would be back. Hopefully soon; hopefully.

Did I fall asleep last night? Andy opened his eyes and saw Aki sleeping soundly on the other bed. He glanced at the words in the screen which said...

SQUAD MEMBERS TO MEET IN MAIN SCHOOL GARDEN AT 7:30 IN MORNING. VERY IMPORTANT!

... he spun his head to look at the clock! "Phew!" Andy breathed a sigh of relief, the time was only 5:50 am. Andy wasn't sure if he had his dinner after walking Elily to her room the previous night, a few seconds later, his stomach immediately answered his question with a loud groan.

After a quick shower, Andy checked his bag for any items that he might've accidentally left out... After he was satisfied with the packing, he strolled through the cool morning air to the dining hall to be the first in line for breakfast!

Malea woke up to big flashing letters infront of her.

SQUAD MEMBERS TO MEET IN MAIN SCHOOL GARDEN AT 7:30AM. VERY IMPORTANT.

She looked at them, then looked at her clock. it was 3 AM. She closed her eyes and went back to sleep. She syarted to thin kabout Dila, and that room next to hers that she had taken the sphere from. It looked a lot like a black mage sphere, but, she could be wrong. She slowly got out of her bed, and did a double check in her bag to see if the sphere was there. She felt around, and put her hand on it. It was warm, and she pulled it out and looked at it. It looked alot prettier at night. She slowly put it back in her bag. she set her alarm for 5:30, then went back to her bed and fell asleep.

~~~

Malea woke up to the loud buzzing of her alarm. She got into the shower, did the things she usually did in the morning, and got dresses in her gunner outfit. She grabed her bag, it was alot heavier with the sphere in it. She slowly turned around to take a last look at her room. She slowly closed the door, and locked it. She didnt even bother to look at the room next to hers that got broken into.

It was 6:45 when she reached the dining room. She took some food, and stat down with the book she was reading. Slowly, the other members came in. She waved to the people she knew, and smiled at everyone else.

Menai staggered as she tried to drag herself in a dignified way over to the corner table Karmina usually used. She didn't want attention - and she was already receiving a few stares, possibly because of her messy state. Especially her hair. She glanced up at the clock as she ate. 7:18. Well. Plenty of time to eat breakfast, really. She relaxed her tensed body and slumped back onto the seat, while trying to run her fingers through her hair as a comb at the same time.

[I'm back!]

Elily woke up, and stretched herself. She sat up, remembering her bandages. Right, she had to get them removed! Elily jumped up, and ran out of the room, still in her pyjamas, to the hospital wing.

Twenty minutes later, she was back in her room, bandage-free. White magic was really miraculous. Elily glanced over at her bag which she had packed the day before. Right, the journey started today. Elily got ready for the day, and dressed herself in her original Gunner's outfit, cloak, top, leather skirt, boots and all, before noticing the message at her bed. 7.30? Important? Uh-oh, better hurry.

She grabbed her luggage, and pulled open the door, and without any hesitation, stepped out. If she was lucky, she could grab a bite to eat before the meeting.

[Alright, all squad members in their official outfit to the main garden.]

Kira sat up at the first ring of the alarm. There was a notice next to her bed, saying the squad members needed to meet at the main school garden at 7:30.

Still an hour till then. Plenty of time

She got out of bed and sat down on a stool next to her dresser. She shook her hair out and quickly brushed it before putting it in a tight ponytail. She put on her leather outfit and some parts of her armour, then strapped her sword onto her back. She leant under her bed and pulled out her bag, tossed it over her shoulder then walked out of her room down to the hall where breakfast was. She walked into the hall, grabbed some food and sat at the table she was at before. She ate quickly, then hurried out to the garden where they were supose to meet. She leant on a tree, closed her eyes and waited.

Merlin almost jumped from the bed. His other roommates were groaning, but quickly falling back asleep. He watched around, a little dazed. Merlin realised he was still wearing his clothes. Again he had fallen asleep.

He watched at his clock, it was time to leave. Quickly, he reached the bathroom. Washing himself quickly and brushing out his hair. ((Very un-manly, I know.. But he has long hair! He has to brush it, right?))

Bumping almost into an early riser, he quickly stepped back into the large room, grasping his backpack. Now he was dressed in a berserkers outfit. For a Berserkers outfit, it contain few red, more black and brown. But still fitting with harsh gloves and arm protectors, in which a red celtic-like symbols were carved.

Merlin reached the school garden at about 7.20.

(Okay Lillie, I guess you can take my character, then. This will probably be my last post here, unless I get a chance to post again this evening. If I don't post again within 24 hours, then you can go ahead and start RPing as my character. I'll be back around July 5th or so, unless we don't catch the flight we want to. Anyway, thankee!)

(Time for much backtracking. Prepare for an extremely long post.)

Mina ate her dinner slowly. By the time she was finished, there was only one other person in the dining hall, and that was a professor who was poring (sp?) over a rather large textbook, occasionally making little notations in a small notebook. He didn't take much notice of Mina as she finished eating and slipped out of the dining hall.

Getting back to her dorm, Mina realized she was going to have to be very discreet in getting ready to go down to train. Sometimes her room mates stayed up late to study for tests or finish homework, and the last thing she wanted them to do was start questioning her upon entering the room. Of course, this wasn't too likely. She and her room mates generally kept to themselves, and she hardly ever spoke to them. She hoped it wouldn't be too much different now.

Taking a deep breath, Mina quietly entered the room. Three beds were occupied by three bodies, which rose and fell steadily with each breath. Good, Mina thought, They're asleep. She tiptoed across the room and checked the clock. It was nearly 10 PM.

Hmmm... Mina thought. She would have to wait a while to go down. Many professors, even students, had been known to stay up this late. If she went down now, there was still quite a large chance that she could be interrupted. Sighing, she sat down on her bed.

Nearly an hour and a half passed. Mina kept herself busy by thinking up new warrior tactics. It was difficult to concentrate on them, however, when her excitement seemed to be building exponentially. By 11 o'clock, keeping herself from getting up and jumping around the room was some challenge. Finally, at 11:45, Mina decided it was time to go.

Feeling in her pocket to be sure that her new job sphere was still safely stowed away there, Mina got up. She tiptoed across the room silently, opened the door, and closed it behind her with a small 'click.' The she hurried down the hallway.

She walked for quite a while before finding an empty classroom that was large enough to suit her tastes. Going to the training room would have been much easier, of course, but that would be risky, as it was towards the center of the school. If someone was still roaming the school (Besides herself, of course) then it was likely they would pass the training room and see her there. She didn't want that to happen.

The classroom that she decided on was on the far side of the school, which made Mina happy. She entered it and closed the door, making sure that it was locked. You couldn't be too careful. Then she flipped on the lights and moved to the center of the room.

This is it. She thought, pulling out the dress sphere. It was quite warm, despite the fact that it was made of glass. The tiny skull revolved inside of it slowly. Closing her eyes, Mina gripped the sphere tightly, willing it silently to transform her...

It happened so quickly. Mina could feel the warmth of the dress sphere spreading from her fingertips, moving over her entire body, filling her with the same strange, warm sensation. When it moved over her head, it seemed to work itself into her mind, making her slightly dizzy. Finally, when she no longer felt the warmth spreading, she opened her eyes.

Her new outfit stunned her. It was much different from her warrior outfit, with long, sleek, black pants that were slightly baggy. A stretchy white shirt came only partially down her torso, showing off most of her midriff. Over this was a long-sleeved shirt made out of silky red, purple, and black material, with baggy sleeves that came down to Mina’s fingetips. In one hand she held a blade. It was much different than her warrior’s sword, which was thicker and completely straight. This blade was sleek, light, and had a slight curve to it, especially near the end. It glimmered fantastically. The warrior dress sphere laid peacefully at Mina’s feet.

Mina wasn’t sure how long she spent working out how to use her blade. It felt so much different than her sword when she swung it, and seemed to cooperate more easily. She practiced different attacks on a chair sitting at the back of the room, hoping no one would notice it was missing, as it was reduced to very small shards of wood by the time she was done with it. Mina wished she had a real human to practice on, but that was a bit difficult to do when everyone else was asleep.

Several hours later, Mina transformed back into her warrior self and headed back to her dormitory. She was quite glad she had gotten the nap that she had, because she knew that if she hadn’t, she definitely wouldn’t have had the energy to practice the way she did.

Back in her room again, she noticed the message about needing to be in the garden at 7:30. Glancing at the clock, Mina saw that it was 5 AM. Her heart leapt with excitement. It wouldn’t be very long until she was on her way with the others.

Mina spent the next two hours reading up on samurai tactics in a book sitting on one of her room mates’ bedside tables. Her sheer excitement kept her awake. At 7 o’clock, she got up, took a shower, got dressed, and fixed her hair. She was ready to go at 7:20. Bursting with energy, she hurried out the door and down to the garden. She arrived there at 7:25.

(Yeesh.)

Menai finished her toast, glancing up once more at the big clock. It was 7:26. Time to go. She dashed out of the dining hall, and slowed down as she walked along the corridor. She arrived at the main garden with a few minutes to spare. She hoped that they'd be given time to get their luggage before they disappeared. Merlin, Mina and Kira were already there. She give them all small half-smiles before leaning against smooth wall of the school building.

Tiherih's body jerked, and he awoke instantly as his eyes flew open. How could he have fallen asleep? It was not usual of him to do so when he chose not to. He drew back the sleeve of his robe and checked his watch. 7:25. He had not been sleeping long, then. And the squad would probably be departing somewhere around this time...

He stooped down and snuck back to the front of the building again. Concealed behind a tree, he peered around. Four students were mingling around in the garden. He couldn't make them out from the distance. Not that it mattered - he didn't know what they looked like anyway. But he hoped it was some of the squad members. And there was a pretty good chance it was.

Nodding to himself, he vanished again.

Elily reached the hall, and grabbed a slice of toast, which she took a few minutes to wolf down. Hastily wiping her mouth with a napkin which she snatched up from the table, Elily hoisted her bag and made her way out to the garden, ignoring the stares on the way out. A few squad members were already there.

[Short, I know. But I'm brain dead.]

Malea finished her breakfast, and headed to the garden. She looked around at the squad memers that were there. It was about 7:10 when she left the dining room. She walked over to the garden and sat down. The air was still cold. She shivered a little. its going to be a nice day today. She thought to her self, smiling a little.
