[Selphie stands with a tray at one side of the cafeteria. Attempting to balance her lunch, she reaches for a string hanging from the back of her uniform's skirt. She is doing a sort of "dog chasing it's tail" thing that may look endearing. Or may not. Straightening up, the cafeteria looms around her. A long time ago she had knew almost everybody at the school. You name them, she had smiled , bothered and befriended them. That's just what Selphie liked to do.

She had just arrived and still was a bit shell shocked. Her eyes would scan the crowd, hoping to catch a glimpse of a familiar face. Or a friendly face. Even with the time vertigo , Selphie was ecstatic to make new friends. Just look at all those new people. They all looked so nice! Selphie's grin got bigger at the thought. This is going to be pretty good! ]

[Quistis is walking into the cafeteria to grab a quick lunch when her eyes automatically draw to the back of Selphie's head. The unique, flippy hairstyle is unmistakeable, but it takes Quistis a couple of moments to let the fact sink in that Selphie is, in fact, standing there in the cafeteria. How long as it been since Quistis had seen one of her closest friends?]

Selphie!

[It's not often that Quistis raises her voice in a happy shout in such a public area, the call causing some of the other inhabitants of the cafeteria to stare at the Lieutenant Commander in confusion. Quistis ignores them, however, and quickly makes her way over to her friend.]

[Selphie hears a familiar voice. She almost doesn't turn around. It couldn't be. She whips around. A happy squeal escapes the small girl. There was Quistis! How...? She hadn't even aged a day. Selphie doesn't even give a second to consider the crowd or the lunch she had almost threw onto an empty table. With another happy squeal, she nearly tackles Quistis into a tight hug.]

Quistis! You're here! Oh, yay! You look so young! Did the Time Compression thingie mess with you too?

[whiplashings.livejournal.com]

[The tackle hardly surprises Quistis, and the blond returns the embrace, her hand patting the younger girl's back affectionately.]

It did; I arrived to this time more than a year ago. You've just arrived, I take it?

[ Selphie nods, almost pouting.]

It's all weird! And crowded! Are all these people from different places? Some of them sure look funny.

[whiplashings.livejournal.com]

Not all, but there's a large number of cadets who are here as a result of Time Compression. [Quistis can't help but scold lightly now.] And they don't look 'funny', they're just not what we're use to.

[Ohmi -- is that --?!]

[Some teenage girl is staring at you, Selphie.]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ It takes a little while for Selphie to notice the staring. when she does, a wide smile breaks across her face. Possible friend? Selphie waves wildly at the staring girl.]

Helloooooo!

[gunblade-grrl.livejournal.com]

[Maria slaps down her spoon, stands, then snaps off a rigid salute.] Ma'am!

[Someone had very, very clearly practiced that gesture way too much.]

Sorry for the super late reply. I have been unable to access the site due to the server problems.

[ Selphie returns the salute, with a grin.] Hey there! You can call me Selphie!

It's okay! I understand! :)

[gunblade-grrl.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh... I know who you are, ma'am. I've... actually seen you before.

[Squall just came into the cafeteria to grab something before going back to work, but- there is only one person he knows that wears so much yellow you can't fail to notice her.]

Selphie?

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[Selphie hears her name and knows exactly who it is. Turning quickly, she lets out a cry. Her excitement it hardly contained as she rushes up to Squall, the tray nearly spilling onto the both of them.]

Squall! Yaaaaay!

[ She puts her , now messy tray onto the edge of a crowded table. watch out Squall, Selphie is hugging as tight as she can manage.]

[fierybluebird]

Hey Selphie!

[Waves. Like he knows her. It's okay, he doesn't expect her to know him.]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ She grins, waving with equal enthusiasm.]

Booyaka!

[fierybluebird]

Having fun as always?

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[Nods] Oh yes! Everyone seems so nice.

[fierybluebird]

Heh, really?

[Mikuru has bits of paper all over her table and is writing on one of them while referencing from others, but every so often she glances curiously at Selphie's hair. Her hair would never do that...]

Sorry for the super late reply. I have been unable to access the site due to the server problems.

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ Selphie twirls once in said flippy hair, still looking for a seat. ]

hey, we've all been there :)

[bunnypassingby]

[The girl seems to be looking for something or someone... Mikuru plucks up her courage.]

Um, you can sit here if you want!

[She blushes, bracing herself in case she's made a mistake about what the girl's looking for. To cover her blush, she starts shifting some of her papers to make space; if Selphie looks closely, she might notice a map of the quad, lists of events, and lists of equipment.]

Thanks for understanding :]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ Selphie grins widely and plops down right next Mikuru. By "right next to", I mean like super close to. ]

Oh Thaaaaaanks! Its so weird being having no where to sit or anything! Oh! Whatcha got there? Look at all those papers!

[swatting-flies.livejournal.com]

Hey, Selph--



Holy Hyne, Selphie!

Sorry for the super late reply. I have been unable to access the site due to the server problems.

[Selphie's tray almost drops to the floor as she lets out a cry of surprise]

Zell! Oh yay! You're here too! [Pouts] I can't help when I showed up!

No prob! I figured as much

[swatting-flies.livejournal.com]

Hyne--!

Yeah, I think we're all here now--Well, guess I haven't seen Fuu or Rai, but... Did you just get here? I'll warn ya, the first day is friggin' nuts...

Thanks for understanding :D

[Giggle]

I knew you would be glad to see me , but you don't have to be falling all over the floor!

Its been sooooo weiiiiiird. The new people are so funny! [She crinkles her nose and giggles again.] Everyone is here? That's awesome! I was all afraid nobody else would show up!
