✝ one

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

[ Allen can handle a nightmare or two, or three. In fact it's not all that uncommon for him, nightmares that aren't quite nightmares. But well it's been a week and he's almost at the point where he's barely sleeping. ]

[ That forcefully bright smile of his, it's wavering, giving way to a tired grin when people look at him too long. He's actually probably being a bit creepy but he can't tell. TOO TIRED. ]

[ So as he's trying to make his way to class he somehow ends up in the cafeteria instead. Probably because it's the one place that he remembers the location of without effort. He contemplates trying to find his way to where he's actually supposed to be but...it's not really worth the effort. So he's going to wait outside until they start serving food. He will be found plopped outside, staring at nothing. If you catch him wandering around he'll just be avoiding reflective surfaces, thanks. ]

[If you're being a roadblock to the cafeteria, prepare to be trod upon by a steam-rolling Sokka. Food is the only thing that's keeping him going these days--plus he's not seeing too well through blurry half-open eyes and HONESTLY that hair of yours just blends right into the floor.

Totally your fault, unknown person. And nice to meet you. The supple knee-high boots that might be walking on you are clean.

Sorta clean.

Okay, probably not very clean. But maybe they still taste like the seal-lion from which the the leather was made! Mmmm seal-lion jerky...]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

[ This is abuse! But he's pretty much used to it so that just gets an indignant yelp and some expert scrambling to get out of the way. ]

Sorry...

[ Yeah, he assumes it's his fault anyways. He was in the way of food, he understands that. ]

[Sokka manages to untangle his feet from the Roadblock--and then tangle them in each other and fall anyway. But, hey floor. Heeeeeeey floor you might be a good place to take a nap!

Butt up, cheek on ground, Sokka blinks at--look it's a person!]

Did I walk on you? [Oh yes, very coherent this morning. Afternoon. What time is it?] I must have walked on you. I was looking for a hot dog.

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

A little bit. [ He would check to see if this person is hurt but...well it's hard to tell given no one seems all there. Was it the fall or was he just not all there? Who knows. ]

Uh...right, is it time for lunch already? Are they serving food?

[ Because he's hungry but even if he can't taste the food much lately. ]

[bendthis.livejournal.com]

Cafeteria serves food, you got it. [Sokka rolls onto his back and rubs his hands into his eyes. Get up, get up. There are hot dogs at stake, get up.

With a groan, Sokka sits up and then looks over at his floor-companion. Sticks out a hand to shake.] Sokka. Honestly I got no clue what time it is. I'm lucky I know it's a Thursday.

... Is it a Thursday?

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

Only at lunch time. [ He knows this because he tried to get food half an hour before curfew and there was none. /sob ]

[ He accepts that hand though and kind of sluggishly gets up. And he gives that slightly creepy, slightly depressing, extremely tired smile. ]

'm Allen. [ Now give him a minute to count his fingers. ]

Yes, it's Thursday. Definitely. [ A recount. ]

[ He's pretty sure short, fair haired friend had to be ignoring him. Why? Because hello, Lavi's been standing in front of you doing the hand wavy thing for two whole minutes now.

He's also right next to a wall light. Oops. Perhaps something more physical works with Allen? Like say, a yank and pull? ]

Wake up, sunshine~ It's not a good idea to sleep with your eyes open! Wouldn't want a bug to land on them, hey?

1/2

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

Huh?!

[ Yanking him all of a sudden isn't a good idea, he kind of ends up half getting up and half falling. Ow, his knees Lavi, his knees. ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

...Lavi? [ Looking at you like, when did you get here? ]

[banbanshin.livejournal.com]

[ Aw, well doesn't that make him feel royal? No need to kneel before your king, Allen. You get a free headpat though. ]

Yes. Lavi. Your friend Lavi.

Guy you've been through life and death situations with?

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

You don't need to tell me that. [ Looking up at the headpat, was that necessary? ]

...how long have you been standing here?

[banbanshin.livejournal.com]

I don't know, man. There's already one member of our party who acts like he doesn't know me, wouldn't want to add another one to the list.

Been here for awhile now. [ FEEL BAD, ALLEN ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

...sorry. [ He does feel bad, mission accomplished? ]

Have you seen Kanda...Yuu around?

[fierybluebird]

Huh. You look about as tired as I feel.

[A strange perk to being Marco is that he doesn't look tired even though he's getting about as much sleep as Allen. He looks less than sparkly, but he holds up well. At least... externally. Don't be too surprised if he flops down around you and goes to sleep.]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

Do I look that terrible?

[ He didn't check the mirror this morning, actually he very deliberately avoided anything reflective. ]

[fierybluebird]

Could be worse.

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

That's good! There are always ways for things to get worse!

[ Thanks for reminding him of that, he does feel a bit better! ]

[fierybluebird]

[That's a first...]

Let me guess. [Holds his hand up pretending to be psychic. It's his new kink here.] Nightmares?

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

[ He laughs a little, it's not surprising when it seems like a common ailment here. ]

Me and everyone else I guess.

[rebeliune.livejournal.com]

[ This should be around the time the coffee is served, so Lightning's on her way... until one of her boots hits a literal road block, and she frowns at that and the fact that she isn't paying enough attention due to the nightmares running amok.

[ Then she looks down... and frowns even harder at the guy sorta half-sitting, half-sleeping on the spot. ]

Just what are you doing?

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

[ He pulls his legs in at least once she hits... okay so it's too late but he noticed it at least. ]

I'm...waiting for lunch?

[rebeliune.livejournal.com]

[ The frown lessens... but is still there. She glances back at the Cafeteria. ]

Something going on inside?

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

No, I just got here early.

[ He looks a bit sheepish...yeah he totally missed a class or two sitting here. ]

[rebeliune.livejournal.com]

[ Makes a small sound. Then she remembers the time classes let go of their students... ]

Did they let you out early? [ "They" being the classes. ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

[ ...now Allen does lie from time to time, but he's not going to lie when it's something that would easily be discovered. So he'll stick to the pathetic truth. ]

No...I got lost on my way and ended up here and. I was just tired I guess.
