[ So there's another new face in Balamb garden, Leanne had found herself here in this world way early in the morning. She's had some time to let the information settle in her brain but she's still not sure what to make of it, or even what to make of this place. It's big, the single building probably as big as Ebel City. So she's wandering around, a little bit lost. She looks down at the paper she's holding once in a while, mumbling to herself. ]

...guess it's a good thing I got here on the weekend.

[ She stops by the directory eventually trying to figure out where everything is, where she'll have to go for classes, lunch, her room, all of it. Just focusing on what she can do right now. ]

This is all so strange.

Hey, you were the one that was running. I think you should be the one watching where you're going.

[ Still she gathers some of the stray books and hands them to Yuffie. ]

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

Yeah well...

[ she sniffs, hating to be wrong as she takes the books that are offered to her. ]

Is it my fault I've got things to get to pronto? Sheesh, they're really working us to the bone here. You'd think they'd cut the white rose of Wutai some slack seeing as to how I'm giving 'em the time of day.

[ Well Leanne doesn't care too much. She's not too keen on stepping on any toes in an unfamiliar place. ]

It certainly looks that way. I'm not even sure why some of these subjects are needed to be mercenaries.

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

[ when she manages to gather all the books back into her arms, she blows a puff of air with her lips. ]

Tell me about it. What kind of kickass mercenary needs to know how to draw? Is he gonna paint his way out of a fight? Pff, yeah, okay.

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

Or math for that matter. Except to add up how much they're owed I guess.

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

But that's the easy stuff! I could do that with my eyes closed, thank you very much.

[ she pouts and glares at the nearest building with classes, almost as if her angry gaze could make her homework do itself. ]

And these teachers are giving out way too much work. Like they seriously think their class is the most important one. Gimme a break!

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

I haven't started the classes yet but...I'm looking forward to it less and less.

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

Oh, a newbie then? Sucks for you. Heh, what's your name?

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, brand new. [ A sigh. She's beginning to see the sucking part more and more. ]

I'm Leanne, you?

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

Yuffie! The finest ninja you'll find around.

[ she offers an all-too confident grin her way before striking up another question. ]

Got your schedule yet? Lemme see, I'll let you know which classes are total bores.

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

Is that so. Uh, what's a ninja though?

[ Well she doesn't mind some...veteran advice. So she'll hand over her schedule (http://packsheat.livejournal.com/1221.html). ]

Right here.

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

[ she takes the schedule only to almost drop it at leanne's question. ]

Woah hold on--what's a ninja?

You trying to be funny or is that a serious question?

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

Sorry to say but...not joking.

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

...you been living under a rock all your life?

A ninja is. You know. Swift and mysterious. Stealthy and cunning! Unable to be caught by just ordinary people!

[ have some overenthusiastic hand movements to prove her point. ]

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

...maybe a rough equivalent of one. Basel's not exactly culturally diverse.

[ She watches curiously. She gets it, maybe. ]

So like a spy or an assassin?

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

Yeah except...cooler, obviously.

[ she makes a face like this should be common knowledge. derp. ]

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

...guess that makes you the coolest

[ Amused tone, but she is curious about these "ninjas." ]

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

[ that earns an all-too pleased smirk on her hand and a pat on the back for leanne! ]

Heh, now you're catching on. I'm the best of the best! Hard to find a ninja who can give me a run for my money.

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

Are there a lot of ninjas where you come from?

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

[ she twirls the schedule in her hands, eyes sort of reading the text but sort of not at the same time, entirely too focused on showing off her bragging rights. ]

Nah, it's too hard for most people to keep up with you know.

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

I see. Is it more difficult than what they make you learn here?

[kinetosisprone.livejournal.com]

Wellllllll. It's not as boring as the stuff they make you do here. Ninja's didn't really need to know about history and sciences, if you catch my drift.

[packsheat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do. Hunters didn't need to know any of that stuff either.
