012 [Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla is looking over a course catelogue and contemplating taking a few classes to give herself a secondary specialty, and possibly even a tertiary one. She's making a few notes on each class, as well as notes on instructors' contact information so she can discuss what arrangements they can make in case she's called away on a mission. She's not certain what the procedure is for a SeeD who wants to take more classes, so she's making sure to take plenty of notes.

Unfortunately, she's taking those notes outside, and a gust of wind sends some of them flying.]

Oh no!

[Do you: A. Help her?
B. Ignore her?
C. Point and laugh?]

[It doesn't take much to grab a few papers, so why not? Barnaby's got them gathered in a few seconds, and then shoving them at Odd Green-Haired Girl, obviously annoyed.]

Here.

[fashionably_strong]

Thanks.

[Bulla doesn't take the clear annoyance personally. Scowling is her father's default facial expression.]

I don't think I've seen you around the Garden hallways before.

[itsnotbunny]

I'm usually in the library or training area. That probably explains it. [Or his dorm. Meet Mr. Anti-social!]

[fashionably_strong]

I'm in the training centre a lot. I guess we have different schedules.

[She shrugs and smiles.]

Maybe I'll see you there sometime. My name is Bulla. Bulla Brief.

[itsnotbunny]

Barnaby Brooks Jr. Nice to meet you. [And like the dick that he is, he's giving a brief nod and walking on. :T]

[bunnypassingby]

[> Help her!

This is Mikuru, what do you expect. Mikuru goes running after her papers, jumping and grabbing at them.]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla sets down her book on the remaining papers so that they won't fly away and runs to catch the remaining papers with Mikuru.]

Thank you for your help, Mikuru. How have you been?

[bunnypassingby]

[Snatching the last of them from the ground before it gets blown away again, Mikuru tries to neaten her pile a bit before handing it to Bulla.]

I've been alright! Mostly just studying and trying to organize some GFC things. What about you?

[fashionably_strong]

I'm barely getting any mission assignments...which isn't really much to complain about, I suppose. So I'm kind of on standby and I was thinking of maybe taking a few extra classes so I can specialize in more than just hand to hand combat.

...I should probably find someone else to take over Fight Club and the Fashion Club while not much is happening, actually. I've been putting it off.

[Because both of those clubs are her babies, and she honestly had never imagined that she'd still be here in Garden over a year and a half later. Her seventeenth birthday was next month, which was a daunting thing to think about. That would be two birthdays celebrated at Balamb Garden.]

[hawkette]

[Kate catches a few of them mid-air before she realizes where they came from, but when she sees they're Bulla's notes, she hurries to pick up the others before they blow even farther away.]

Might want to find a rock or something to hold down the notes you aren't reading...

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla smiles gratefully.]

That's a good idea. I wanted to sit outside and read since it's nice out today...but I didn't take the wind into account.

[hawkette]

[Returns the grin--no problem.]

I can't blame you. And the rock thing? Totally from experience. [Comes over to give it to her.]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla takes the offered papers.]

I'll keep that in mind. For now, I'll just have to use my purse.

[The purse matches her outfit, and there's enough in it to weigh down the papers.]

[tempest_lion]

[A. Help out. Because Squall remembers his own paperwork troubles.]

A desk and indoors with a big window for light is better for this.

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla smiles sheepishly.]

I suppose, but the weather is nice and I wanted some fresh air. I'll have to get a clipboard for next time.

[tempest_lion]

[Squall just shrugs in reply.]

Probably. Or some kind of paperweight. What were you looking at?

[fashionably_strong]

Some classes...I was thinking of taking more of them so I can have more than one specialty. Right now mine is hand to hand combat.

[She covers her pen with its cap again, and taps the paper she's been writing on.]

I've been writing down the contact information for each Instructor so I can talk to them about it. I'm not really sure what happens when a SeeD wants to take some more classes.

[rebellingheart]

[D. Laugh while helping her catch papers because that's what friends do.]

It almost feels like we've done this before.

[She chases after the papers, darting here and there as the wind leads her o a merry chase. Nooo come back papers, come back!]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla scrambles up to collect the errant papers with her friend]

A little deja vu, yeah. I'm thinking of working toward a second specialty. Maybe even a third.

[rebellingheart]

That's not always too hard. [Says the SeeD with three specialties already.]

So.. what did you have in mind?

[Honestly it's harder catching this papers. Ugh.]

[fashionably_strong]

I've got a few ideas.

[With a wry smile, she adds,]

No magic specializations, though.

[Not after all the help she had to get just to get up to standard for a SeeD.]

I was thinking of piloting, international business or maybe covert operations...but I'd have to get a wig for the last one.

[doyoutrustme]

[Aladdin steps outside to find papers going everywhere, and his quick fingers catch one of them. He moves on to try and grab another, and since Carpet was with him too today the flying rug starts zooming after another, as if trying to round them up.]

Hey, are these yours? [he holds the papers he'd grabbed out for her]

[fashionably_strong]

[After securing the papers that haven't flown away, Bulla hops up to collect them.]

Yes they are. Thanks!

[She tilts her head and looks at Carpet curiously, wondering if he's an alien species. She's unfamiliar with the idea of magic carpets.]

[doyoutrustme]

[Carpet seems a little shy about the attention, and flies around to hover behind Aladdin]

Hey, it's no trouble. That's all of them, right?

[fashionably_strong]

That's all of them, yes.

[She smiles at Carpet. The shy behaviour is kind of adorable.]

Do you two go flying often?

[Carpet is so obviously sentient that the only thing Bulla isn't sure of is whether Carpet is a pet or a cadet at Garden.]
