Day in the Life [Action | DISGUISED multiple choice!]

[gunblade-grrl.livejournal.com]

[Six o'clock; wake up, yawning and bleary. Maria can't pretend she gets enough sleep. Despite that she never dawdles in the morning; she's always close to the front of the cafeteria line, a shelf's worth of books crammed in the massive duffel bag she uses where most normal people would have a backpack or somesuch. Breakfast and homeroom she usually spends reading.]

[In class, who could ask for a more model student? She reads ahead and extra, she's a quick learner, and (somewhat helpfully) she's a world native, so has a lot of the background the classes tend to assume. The only exception to this enthusiasm is the Garden Code, which even she finds excruciatingly dry and boring. Nevertheless, Maria studies it diligently too.]

[It's at 5:30 that it starts to break down. She's supposed to be in extracurriculars, but... she hasn't really found one that appeals to her. So Maria simply grabs her weapons and spends the next few hours in the Training Center, striving to master her gunblades. This lasts... right up until she gets hurt badly enough to quit. Which tends to happen. She's going in there with only a GF Junction; not even a cure spell to keep her going.]

[The folks in the infirmary are probably quite familiar with her by now.]

[After that, study time, then bed (perhaps a little later than curfew).]

[[OOC: as usual, just say where you meet her!]]

Anything particularly special today? [She stretches up to peer at the trays, already really hungry. It's one of those food-is-sleep sort of things.]

[gumbogifted.livejournal.com]

For breakfast, the specials are cherry, blueberry an' apple turnovers. We also have the usual things like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, yogurt, fruit an' the likes. [She gestures towards the end of the buffet] We the usual toppin's for the turnovers too, icing an' sugar.

...If I ever have to go back to oatmeal for breakfast, I think I'll die.

[Tiana chuckles at that.]

Heard somethin' along those likes before. T'morrow's gonna be flapjacks, just t' let you know.

[gunblade-grrl.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me in advance! If I start missing more sleep to get here earlier, Instructor Farron will kill me!

[gumbogifted.livejournal.com]

[And that earns you an amused laugh, along with a reassurance.]

I'll make sure we'll have plenty still around for when you get here.

[gunblade-grrl.livejournal.com]

Oh! Thank you. I don't want to be a burden, I know you all are working harder every day...

[More and more people seem to show up, after all. What is time compression DOING?]

[gumbogifted.livejournal.com]

There's several of us workin' the kitchens and we're all pretty steady, so it's no bother.

[Totally waving off your worries. The more people, the better, anyways. Keeps her from thinking of home too much.]

[gunblade-grrl.livejournal.com]

[Well, if she's going to be so casual about it, Maria resolves not to worry!]

[...not for the first time, surely not for the last.]

Then at least I'll do you the honor of respecting your food by eating it with every bit as much enthusiasm as it deserves!

[gumbogifted.livejournal.com]

[Tiana chuckles, winking in amusement.]

Only if y' like it. Does no one any good if you force yourself to eat something you don't like.

[gunblade-grrl.livejournal.com]

I haven't had anything I haven't liked since I got here! The food is always amazing!

[gumbogifted.livejournal.com]

Well, then, eat away!

[She smiles, stepping back.]

And have a good day, now.

[gunblade-grrl.livejournal.com]

[She salutes smartly, then starts grabbing food to do just that!]

[Tiana gives a playful salute back before going back to her work.]
