✝ 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. ]

[ ...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.

[ And at that, she can agree. Hence the coffee abuse she's been going through this week. ]

Seems like they'll be starting out on serving food. [ Begins to walk into the Cafeteria. ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

That's good news, maybe I'll be more awake after a good meal.

[ He gives her a forceful smile, see everything is okay. ]

[ Nods silently, her own way of saying he's free to come with her if he wants. Boy looked more haggard than she does at the moment. ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

Ah, thanks. [ He appreciated the company, it helps keep his mind off things. ]

I'm Allen Walker, miss.

[rebeliune.livejournal.com]

Lightning. You can leave out the "miss." [ Nods again in greeting before looking up at the menu. Yup, coffee's being served. She might as well go with a bagel, too. ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

All right, Lightning then. [ He gets his own...hefty order, piling up as much food as he possibly can on the tray. Really it'd be easier if he could have a cart like back home. ]

[rebeliune.livejournal.com]

[ Turns around with her own order and pauses, staring. ]

You're really going to eat all of that?

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

[ He glances at his pile, is it too much? Actually he's thinking it's not enough with food being the only thing keeping him standing. ]

Yeah, maybe more if they'll let me have seconds.

[ She raises a brow. And she thought Snow had the biggest appetite that she's known. ]

That's... [ Lightning stops. It isn't any of her business, and judging from the way he's acting, this seems to be normal for him. High metabolism and work ethic, perhaps. She shakes her head to dismiss those thoughts and find a seat for them. ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

[ Well he's looking at the coffee and bagel of hers critically too. ]

Is that enough?

[rebeliune.livejournal.com]

[ Glances. ]

It's just lunch.

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

That's true... Just seems like the only fuel right now since sleep is so hard to get. Good sleep anyways.

And there's no explanation for it. [ Frowns at something random... which happens to be a group of students who immediately turn away after. ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

Yeah...guess that means we also don't know when it'll stop.

[rebeliune.livejournal.com]

I wonder if the other students are going through it as well. [ And by "other students" she means the actual natives of this world. ]

[fatechange.livejournal.com]

It's hard to say, they don't look as tired mostly but they're not very keen on talking to us, are they? [ He scratches under his left eye a bit, though he knows it's not exclusive to him that avoidance. ]

[rebeliune.livejournal.com]

So it's just us. That Time Compression thing, then? [ Sips her coffee. Yup, the locals weren't all that keen on interacting with them at all... not that Lightning minded that much. ]
