[Action/Anywhere in the Garden] What is this off-day you speak off?

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

[Ronnae had attended all her classes, done all her assignments and then some, studied ahead for material that would be coming in the next couple of weeks and finished all the extra credit homework she had asked for.... She had taken on this load so she'd keep busy and wouldn't have to leave her dorm room... Which had been unusually quiet to be honest.

Now however, with lack of things to do, she found herself braving the Garden on a little personal tour. She might as well explore as much as she could while the halls weren't packed with people. You would find her anywhere and everywhere as she made her way through the areas that looked emptier, exploring as much as she could.]

I'm taking tactics as well... Actually this is my first official semester as I got here when everyone was still on vacation. I... I don't remember exactly what I picked as my major now that I think about it...

[Ronnae blushed and looked away embarrassed.]

I r-really should k-keep track of these t-things better...

[one-part-saint.livejournal.com]

You and me both. I was gonna double major...and that's about the only thing I have decided. Eh, it's not like we can't change our minds, I guess, right?

So what were you off to before I interrupted?

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Ummm I... i was jus' walkin' around. Exploring and such. I haven't had much of a chance to see the Garden.

If you've seen one, you've kinda seen them all, but then again, I've been in a Garden since I was seven. I guess it's less impressive for me.

[Zak shrugs at that.] Though I like it a lot better at Balamb.

[Ronnae's eyes widen in surprise] So you've been in a Garden almost all your life? What was it like? I thought... I thought most people lived in cities, like that one we visited when we had that school trip to the palace.

Well, I used to live in Dollet. But my parents were killed during the siege, and when I got taken out to be delivered to an orphanage, I got caught in Time Compression. About ten years' worth, so I got sent to the Garden in Galbadia instead.

[He does not look happy about this, mind.] I sort of washed out there, got transferred here, and this is basically my last chance. Otherwise...I don't know what'll happen.

[Ronnae's expression drops suddenly. She looks sad and apologetic as she tries not to make eye contact.]

I... I'm sorry to hear that...

[one-part-saint.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault, I kinda just get tired of repeating myself when it's a sob story half the people don't care about, you know?

I'm here now. It's better.

Why wouldn't people want to know about their teammates? Or other people in general for that matter? That seems so.... selfish. Well... f-for what it's worth... I ah... appreciate you tellin' me about it.

[one-part-saint.livejournal.com]

Thanks...I think. And I dunno, some people are just weird. [Zak shrugs. He's actually more used to the people in Galbadia just not giving a squat.]

Maybe it's 'cuz I was in Galbadia and they didn't want to take responsibility for their actions. People are kinda like that everywhere, maybe.

It's true that the majority of the people act that way... but there's sometimes people who act differently, and nice. People who care and whatnot.
