002 [Action-allllll over the place.]

[nvrstrikestwice.livejournal.com]

[Scenario A: Morning]

[Anyone who decides to come into the cafeteria on this fine morning may just find Lightning at a table near the back, an empty plate near a notepad as she jots down notes. Anyone who gets close will see that it's a lesson plan for her classes, but there's a second smaller pad half hidden under it with words like "doubles?" and what look to be tactical plans for...something. It's all in abbreviations, making it ridiculously hard to make out, and it's unlikely that she'll talk about that one.]

[Scenario B: WTR 301 Class; 1400 to 1500 hours]

[Good afternoon, class. Feel free to walk in on your pink-haired teacher doing some last minute gun checks on that row of handguns you can see on a low counter, while a few meters behind there's another counter with cans of varying height and width. Once everyone's in the class and seemingly ready for this, Lightning will gesture over to the cans.]

You'll be shooting these today. The fewer shots you use to take them all down, the better.

[No nonsense tone is get; Instructor Farron isn't playing games, but...then again...when does she play games?]

[Scenario C: after class]

[With classes over and notes attended to until late in the night, anyone who finds their way to the Quad will find Lightning sitting on a bench, performing routine maintenance on one of these, seemingly without a care to the world around her. Feel free to approach and ask her just what kind of weapon that is, or to just stare. Though that second option is likely to get you an odd look, she won't bite.

No promises on the lack of linefacing, though. She does that a lot.]

[ooc: interact where you please~ just stick which scenario in the subject line and you're good to go!]

Couldn't hurt to try.

[Though, remembering the trouble they'd had getting her up on Pulse, Lightning wouldn't be surprised if Fang or Vanille's roommate make some kind of posting about her being sick because she won't wake.]

None. I've never had problems sleeping. [Beyond the occasional nightmare or those first few nights on Pulse while they got used to the noises, but...nothing like what Vanille's got.]

[brightens]

[ At the rate she's going, she might have to take a full day to rest. ]

That's good. I hope no one else is, either. [ No, she's probably the only one. Between not being able to fall asleep and crying whenever she did end up finally getting there, sleep has always been a bit of an issue for her.

It really is good that Lightning can sleep easily, though— Vanille can't imagine what it would be like to have another version of herself running around. Especially not another version who was so... Different from the way she really was. ]

How are classes so far? Do you like teaching?

[nvrstrikestwice.livejournal.com]

[That's what the weekends were for, at least. No need to worry about missing classes.

As for anyone else missing sleep, well, Lightning's heard nothing. Then again, she hasn't been really listening. Been too busy getting prepared for anything that might happen with her double and that's been kind of tiring. It's certainly odd to deal with, that's for sure.]

Now that my students are shooting themselves in the foot or nearly hacking each other to ribbons because they didn't want to listen to me, yeah. Classes are coming along fine.

[brightens]

[ Eep. ] I guess... Being new to weapons can be kind of hard times, huh? For everybody involved.

[ Nervous giggle... ]

[nvrstrikestwice.livejournal.com]

[Vanille, you are getting a look for that giggle. Why do you suddenly seem so nervous, hmm?]

It can be, but the ones in my class have already taken the beginner courses. They should know better by now.

[And if they don't, well, that's what she's supposedly here for. To keep them from killing each other while they're still learning.]

[brightens]

[ Because she knows what you're talking about! She felt like a hardened soldier when she'd done any Introduction to Weapons training, since she'd already handled guns and knives and most weapons already. She was sticking to her Binding Rod, of course, but, she'd had more experience than some of the other cadets in her class who'd never had a chance to use a weapon at all! She's imagining the same students still making messes of themselves in Lightning's class...

Thus a nervous giggle. Poor Light. ] It takes a little getting used to, though. It's easier when you grew up learning.

[nvrstrikestwice.livejournal.com]

[Poor Light who's getting used to it, slowly but surely. Hence the lesson plan book on the table right now; at least that much she can make sure goes to plan.]

Yeah. It becomes second nature at that point.

[And she does understand how others wouldn't know as much as Vanille, Fang, or even Lightning herself, but that's no excuse to not follow basic gun safety rules they should have had drilled into their heads at the start of those beginner courses.]

[brightens]

You'll just have to show 'em how it's done, Light!

[ You can do it! Vanille believes in you! ] I'm sure if they learn it all from someone like you, they'll be great at it in no time.

[nvrstrikestwice.livejournal.com]

[Show them how it's done? That's the easy part. Actually teaching them is the hard part.

Though...even though it'll go unsaid, Vanille's belief is appreciated.] We'll have to wait and see about that. Maybe we'll make some progress in today's class.

[brightens]

I hope so. It's useful that we can use magic to heal, but...

It's better if nobody gets hurt at all.
