[action] the lobby - backdated to the start of villain event, just about

[focusedfate.livejournal.com]

[There's nothing really unusual in Cid being serious, but today, there seems to be more worry in his expression than usual. The set of his shoulders is a little stiffer, and his steps carry more speed than usual as he exits the dormitory area and steps into the lobby.

What may be most obviously different, though, is his dress. Gone is his Sanctum uniform, the suits, and even the business casual--they've been replaced, apparently, by a rather plain but utilitarian outfit. He has a single duffle bag slung over his shoulder but nothing else of note on his person. The news of recent events in his adopted home world hasn't been sitting all that well with him, and this one individual is off to catch a train to Deling City to see if there's anything he can assist with.

Run into him on his way out?]

[Tom's also headed in the same direction - of course, since he's part of Cid's party - though his outfit's typical for him. Swinging his duffel bag across his shoulder, he glances over at Cid with a wide grin as he makes his way across the lobby.]

Hey! You weren't going to leave without me, were you?

Huh. I don't think I've ever seen you looking so casual.

[Snow, having spotted Cid from across the lobby, has taken up a lean against the directory to grin.]

[subjected]

[ Had Cid been hoping to escape the school without seeing an unfriendly face, he's pretty much out of luck here-- save that considering Claire is standing right on the steps leading up into Garden, looking out towards the direction of the town, she's actually facing away from him as he makes his way out.

Yet regardless of her obvious distraction, still, the chances of getting by unnoticed, and of her being in anything even resembling a good mood, are extremely low.

Not that that is anything unusual. ]
