Light 01 [action, Quad]

[Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Why the hell did it have to be a school of all things? She could handle kidnapping by a drug lord. OK. She could best a child kidnapping attempt. Easy. But of all things...she's taken to this school? That she now has to attend? Oh yea. This is just going to go by wonderfully.

Right now, she's unhappily sulking in the Quad, the Course Catalog beside her, untouched.]  Why of all things...it had to be a school?

[Quistis just so happens to pass by when she hears the rather dismayed tone of a female. Curious, she pauses by the owner of the voice, looking a bit concerned.]

Is there something wrong, Cadet?

[Talk about deja vu! Damian turns to face her, crossing his arms] Because Allah probably got mad at you for something else. It's called "karma."

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

[Tandy looks up from her lap, feeling somewhat annoyed, but makes her face into a confused look]

So I'm really a Cadet?

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

[Tandy lifts her head to give the kid a mean look] How could this be because of karma?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Did you ever do something mean to a school? Then that's your answer, zift.

[It would be nice to say that Sokka has been stopped by the rhetorical question, pausing to answer and therefor help adjust an obviously new recruit to the crazy that is the Time-Compressed-Whatsits...

Yeah, but, no. Because she's really pretty and Sokka is way too shallow to, yanno. Care.

Her hair is pretty awesome.

The smile that lights Sokka's face is 100% Hey Baby. Not to mention he might be standing up a little straighter than normal and that might stick out his chest a bit.]

I think there's actually a place here for people who don't want to go to the school. [Such informative information from the teen who has side-stepped into your immediate space.] I'm pretty sure they make you do chores and stuff, though.

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

Mean to a-- I've never been mean to a school!

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

[Why yes, her hair is awesome. But when she lifts her head, and sees that look on his face and his posture, she just has to roll her eyes.

Huh. Macho men. Right.]

Chores I could do. School? Not really.

[bendthis.livejournal.com]

[Oh no. Sokka knows that look all too well because Suki LOVES using it. Time for backup plan: Marco's Tips for Dealing With Women. He clears his throat and drops the smile. Straight-face. Dead-pan.] Classes aren't hard. Well, I mean. They're challenging in that good way. And not that mucking out a chocobo stall doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun, but they have classes for fighting and stuff. Or... dancing, if you don't... uh. Fight.

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

[and just like that, her attention is drawn.]

Dancing? They offer dancing here?

[bendthis.livejournal.com]

[Ah-ha. Establishing common ground! Sokka nods.] I take Dancing first thing on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. [He looks thoughtful for a moment.] I actually kinda like it.

[fierybluebird]

Because apparently pirate ships don't really exist around here.

[Because that answer makes as much sense as her question.]

[whiplashings.livejournal.com]

[Quistis nods-- she can't help but feel a bit sympathetic. All these people were here against their will, and she was sure many of them weren't exactly keen on being enrolled into a military academy.]

You are. It's not as bad as it may seem, though-- you get use to being in a school like this.

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

[she looks up and gives this new person a confused look. uh wuh?]

Why would there be a pirate ship here?

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

What kind of dancing? [she's trying to move past the moping phase and move right into the adjusting phase]

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

Get use to? How do I get use to being abducted and taken to a place like this? [the fanciness of the school means squat to Tandy.]

[fierybluebird]

There isn't. There's a School.

If it was a pirate ship though, it wouldn't be a school, now would it?

[bendthis.livejournal.com]

[Sokka is a big fan of positive attitudes.] Well right now we're working on the Tango. Oh. Ballroom.

If it bothers you, just go somewhere else! There's a whole planet.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

You sure? You never cut class? Or spray-painted the sides of a building? Those're all valid points for karma.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it, this is my first time actually going to school. It's not that bad, all things considered.

[He's carrying a small box with him, careful not to tilt it too much any one way.]

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

I never did any of those things. [she doesn't mention that she dropped out of high school. is that karma?]

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

[oh no, lady. you did not just tell her to go away]

Thanks, but I'll stay right here, thanks.

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

[Tandy looks up and at the boy. what the heck is in that box?]

I've got some form of education, but nothing ever like this.

[iam-yourdagger.livejournal.com]

Riiiight. [thank you strange person for that confusing speech. she'll just look strangely at you now.]
