[It was lunchtime, finally. Remy thought he'd been clever, signing up for this school in this new world. If he was going to be stuck here, he thought, having every resource possible at his disposal would be a great idea, right? He'd only been to four classes so far, though, and he was convinced he'd underestimated, well, everything. His notes were spread across the square table in front of him in a haphazard fashion. Notes of Garden Code, notes on regiment formation, notes on this, notes on that. His red and black gaze swept across the scattering of papers before him, seeing, but not really comprehending. What had he gotten himself wrapped up in again? He heaved a tired sigh and rubbed his hands across his face, then running his fingers through his hair, and licked his lips. He was Remy leBeau. He could break into anyone's house, steal all their valuables, and escape without a trace. He could handle a little schooling. This was nothing. He wished he believed himself.

He took a sip from the fountain drink that had accompanied his lunch (he hadn't been lucky enough to score one of the Garden's famous hot dogs and had sufficed with a chicken sandwich) and picked up the notes from his first class, Garden Code or whatever it was. He read it for all of five seconds before putting it down and heaving a loud sigh.]

Nom de Dieu, this place gonna be the death of you, leBeau.

[OOC: /is nervous. I hope I did this right. Anyway, anyone ever is free to bug him in the Cafeteria at lunch. He'll probably welcome the distraction XD]

[He shrugs off the emo pretty quickly, giving her a smile.]

I ain't. Born this way. Can't really change it, non?

[Well that's a relief. She smiles somewhat apologetically.]

That's the spirit! Don't let it get you down!

[She sits back up, and looks thoughtful for a moment.]

I be a lot of people here feel like they don't fit in. But they really shouldn't! The garden takes everyone in, everyone should feel like they belong. It's a super bummer if they don't.

[He gives a non-committal shrug. What? It's not like he's going to admit it.]

Reckon so. It sho' ain't home.

[Tough guy huh? Not like she isn't used to those. But she'll take that as a yes. But if a lot of people really felt uncomfortable here, maybe it was time something was done about it!]

Hmm. What would make you feel more at home, Remy?

[He gives a non-committal shrug.]

I don't know, petit. [And then he allows his eyes to move over her form again.] I can think of a few, though.

[She narrows her eyes and reaches out to rap him on the head again. Stop that! She's going to ignore it for the most part though, as she continues talking.]

Well which is it? Do you know or don't you? The garden has a festival for the students at the end of the year, but maybe there should be something sooner!

[He laughs.]

Oh, I know but, Remy don' think you interested just yet.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment.]

Sooner, huh? What you got in mind, chere?

[She tosses Remy a slightly skeptical look. Woo subject change!]

Hhmm.. I'm not sure yet! But something that could get everyone to relax a bit. It probably shouldn't bee TOO much work, since everyone's probably worried about tests!

Besides, there's always the Garden Festival coming up later in the year too!

[This is Selphie's brain cranking. She's already trying to come up with a fun, over-the-weekend sort of idea. Something to make people feel more at home!] Maybe something like a party! That'd be easy enough to pull off with only a little planning!

[And this is Remy being really excited by the prospect. He loves a good party.]

Party's never miss, petit. What sorta party? There any holidays comin' 'round here?

[With their powers combined....PARTY?]

Hnn.. There's not really any holidays coming up that I know of.

[She sounds disappointed, but well, then her eyes brighten and she looks over at Remy with a somewhat more energetic expression.]

Heeeeeeeeeey! What about where you're from?!

[He looks away, actually thinking about it. Wait....it was June....]

Sho nuff, petit! De 4th of July!

[Oooh. That sounds like it could work, maybe! Not that she knows anything about the 4th of July.]

Yeah?! What kind of holiday is it? It has to be one that's worth celebrating!

One of de best, petit.

[He leans back.]

It's Independence Day.

[Now she's curious.]

Independence from who?

[Sure, Selphie. Because it makes sense to you.]

England.

[Nope! None what-so-ever. But she's not going to let that stop her!]

Well whoever that is I'm sure it was important! You think anyone else would wanna celebrate it?

[He gives a noncommittal shrug.]

Gotta be other Americans around.

[Well that's discouraging. He seemed interested a little while ago.]

Well, I guess there might be! We'd have to tailor it so that everyone could celebrate though. Hmm..

Hey! Hey I have an Idea! [She reaches out and pats at Remy's arm excitedly. Listen Listen Listen! ~~this is her navi impression~~]

What about just celebrating making it through midterms! I think everyone would appreciate that! But if you guys celebrate Independence Day a certain way, we could use that as a theme!

Whaddya say?

[He shrugs again.]

Ain't gotta take midterms myself, but I reckon a lot of people'd appreciate it, petit. You gonna have fireworks?

[Did you just ask Selphie Tilmitt if there were going to be explosions? Are you daft? Now she REALLY looks excited.]

HEY! YEAH! FANTASTIC IDEA! I bet that'd be great!

[She hops up from the table, and quickly wraps an arm around Remy's neck in a haphazard hug.]

I've got some planning to do! Don't worry I'll keep you up to date! Enjoy your lunch!

[With that? Selphie Tilmitt is off to start her AMAZING PLANS.]
