[So in true Turk fashion, Cissnei is exploring the place. Having the map with you and following it isn't quite the same as actually knowing the layout, now is it? She's very impressed with Balamb Garden so far. Not that it doesn't quite get rid of all of her suspicions of this place, not just yet.

You might spy the small redhead Turk passing through the Quad at a more leisurely pace.]

[ Classes. He had to take classes of all things. Cloud had written down what he had found on the computer and was now looking at the papers filled with his scrawl, trying to plot out some kind of class thing that made sense to him. He almost wished that these people did have PHS - while it was a little hard to keep track of sometimes, it at least made organization so much more easier.

Sitting on a bench, the chocobo-head frowned at the class schedule and crumpled the paper up. ]

[Cissnei cocks her head a little bit at the sight of Cloud, very visibly frustrated by something. She shakes her head with a bit of a smile as she walks over to him.]

Something wrong?

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Just looking at the classes for a swordsman. It's gonna be a long quarter.

[ with a slight huff, he smooths the paper out and stares. ]

I suppose saying that I can last against Sephiroth won't let me get out of all these beginning classes.

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

I don't think people will even know who Sephiroth is here except for us.

[Cissnei sighs.] It's like training all over again. It's been a while since I've been through training.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Damn. Well, it was a thought.

[ Snorts as he makes a list. ] I made it to trooper training last time. Even then I sucked. I better not go through that again.

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

It might be better this time around. Who knows. You know what they say, old dogs, new tricks, you know?

But we'll all be going through it regardless. [Cissnei peers over his list, twisting her lips a little bit. It looks a little messy to her. Then again, a lot of things look a little messy to her.] Do you even know what you're doing? You're all over the place!

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what they say. Doesn't mean that I will learn a new trick without some protests.

[ A slight smile as he said it. It was easy enough to poke fun at himself, even if the joke was slight to those that didn't know his sense of humor. ]

I have an idea... Some of these like Basic Training I just want to get out of my way, so I put a star by them. Some of them sounds interesting enough that I might take a lot at them, so they have a x by them. [ His notations were enough to make an accountant reach for a bottle of 7th Heaven's finest. ] Or was it the other way around?

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

[Cissnei gives him a look.] You're not very good at this, you know. You should probably organize it by quarters, then down to weeks. You might be able to clear out things that way easier and faster in the end.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

I know. Organizing things just makes me itch. [ Too much like home, having to organize stuff. ]

I prefer to just stick things out by quarter.

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

Suit yourself, then. But trust me, you should do it that way. You're going to lose track of what you've already done.

[Cissnei looks out toward the Quad. It was a nice place, peaceful but not overly peaceful.] It's been a really long time since I've been in school too.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'll make a different list of what I signed up for once I start this whole classes thing.

[ He can be organized, he just is rather haphazard about it. Cloud folded his papers up messily and shoves them in one of the many pockets of his pants. ]

It's really different than ShinRa, isn't it? This Garden... It seems a lot happier.

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

[Cissnei shrugs.] It seems that way. [Though Cissnei found her life as a Turk much happier than her life before it.] ShinRa was interested in itself, that's all.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's true. I doubt that if this had happened on the Planet, that anyone that came from outside would have been welcomed so easily by ShinRa, unless Hojo wanted to take them apart.

[ The scientist's name made him look down at the ground, fingers tightening a little. Cloud shook his head, and looked up at her. ]

Have you gone outside the Garden yet?

[nomark1or2.livejournal.com]

Lookin' for somethin'?

[A gleaming bronze man-god Jecht stops kicking his Blitzball off the wall at high speed long enough to glance her way with a friendly smile.]

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

[Cissnei cocks an eyebrow very slightly at him. What was he even wearing? Or rather, not wearing. She smiles back politely enough as she crosses her arms.]

No, nothing in particular. Just exploring the place and learning where everything is exactly.

[nomark1or2.livejournal.com]

[His shorts have a half-sash sort of thing on his right side, his left arm is armored, and... not much else. The rumor that Jecht actually owns no shirts is entirely true. But if you looked that good bare-chested (uh, as a guy), you wouldn't need to own one either.]

New student, huh? Well welcome ta Garden!

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

[Cissnei wouldn't know about wearing so little on a daily basis, she wears her uniform most, if not all the time. Such a good little Turk.]

Thanks. Are you a SeeD or an instructor here? [She's assuming that there's an age limit on being a student, of course... not that she really should be.] Or are you a student here too?

[nomark1or2.livejournal.com]

[That earns a heck of a laugh.]

Hey, you know what they say about us old dogs an' new tricks! [He jerks a thumb at himself.] Name's Jecht. I teach swimmin' and fitness.

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

[She laughs lightly at his mannerisms. The name is familiar to her, but she hadn't expected this in all honesty. Cissnei isn't entirely surprised at the classes he teaches, though. She might be a Turk, trained to not show emotions, but she did notice all of that.]

I'm Cissnei.

[nomark1or2.livejournal.com]

Nice ta meet ya. Guessin' ya haven't been here long, huh?

[Huh, he can't guess her age at all. He CAN guess that she had some sort of training before she got here, just because of that air she's got.]

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.] Only a few days at best. I'm not used to this sort of setting.

[nomark1or2.livejournal.com]

Trust me, it feels like that for all'a us when we first get here. You'll settle in pretty quick though, 'specially once classes start an' yer learnin'.

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

So I've been told. This isn't your world then?

[nomark1or2.livejournal.com]

Naw, I've just been here a while. Came from a place named Zanarkand. Then I ended up in a world named Spira. Then I ended up here. Kinda hopin' this isn't gonna start becomin' a habit, ya know?

[shurikenfemale.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I get what you mean. I haven't been home in a long time.
