ITP: Nightwatch

[fracta_anima]

Characters: Minami and anyone. Open log, feel free to mingle and threadjack.
Setting: Cafeteria, Backdated before the labyrinth.
Format: Action or prose, does not matter to me.
Summary: Minami is organizing a Night Watch for the tower.
Warning: none at the moment

Minami was nervous after making that post. A Night Watch? Really? True she'd led SEES, but Mitsuru had helped her with that and Minami had no idea what, exactly, what she was doing. She knew it was best to try to do this by ear. After all, patrolling the tower would be no different than patrolling Tartarus, right? The only difference was how many groups would be going through and she'd only be organizing the groups and where they go.

So she'd made signs, put them up by the elevators, and waited for dinnertime that evening to see who would be interested.

[Minako enters the cafeteria, shaking out her damp hair from the shower she just got out of. Being Minami's "cousin", she wants to be there relatively early to show her support for the other girl.]

Hi Minami!

[swordofzero]

Suzaku entered the cafeteria and stood to the side silently looking around. He had agreed to help and so had came to the meeting. He didn't see anyone he knew though so he remained out of the way waiting for it to start.

[busstopsign]

And guess who had shown up. The guy who said he didn't really want to, but probably did and probably confused and GDIT. Shinjiro took a seat, after grabbing himself one of those bars they had in the cafeteria. All of this month.

[fracta_anima]

[Minami smiles at her "cousin". At least someone's showing up. After Chidori's comments on the network post she's been nervous about it.]

Hey. Glad you showed up.

[fracta_anima]

Minami was going around with a pen and paper and taking down names and room numbers. She eventually got to Suzaku.

"Hey! Do you mind putting your name and room on this list so I know where to find you after? I'm Minami, by the way." Even though she introduced herself in the cafeteria.

[fracta_anima]

She's not surprised at all. Her Shinjiro was the same way.

She sits down next to him to chat a bit before starting.

"Hey! Glad you could make it."

[swordofzero]

"Nice to meet you Minami," He nodded at her, "Kururugi Suzaku, room 2-06." She seemed young to be organising such a group, but he had no doubt that she knew what she was doing.

[capax_infiniti]

[Oh hey Minami, it's someone you've never met. Waiting patiently, hunched over with his hands behind his back like he's got all the time in the world.]

[complementing]

Of course I would! Wouldn't miss it for anything. [She stretches before sitting down.] Oh hey, while we're waiting, can I ask you something? Would you be up to playing volleyball with me?

[busstopsign]

"...yeah" he answered, idly moving his thumbs back and forth. The annoying thing about not being sick anymore? More energy that gave him the jitters when he was sitting down.

"You started getting a plan on how we're all gonna do this?"

[deathboss]

And there was Michel, looking as fabulous as ever.

"Hey babe, I've brought my presence to all of you, as promised!" Really, his narcissism could sometimes just couldn't be turned off.

[fracta_anima]

Uh, sure! Why not? It just needs to be in the morning or in the evenings since a friend is teaching me how to play harp in the afternoons.

[fracta_anima]

Which would've cheered her up if she knew he didn't doubt her.

"Any special skills or abilities you're okay with me knowing about? It can range from self defense skills to special powers to.... pretty much anything!"

[fracta_anima]

"Probably divide everyone into groups and assign floors. It should be easier than Tartarus since we know how many floors are in this place and we aren't really 'exploring' so much as 'patrolling'."

[fracta_anima]

[There is practically a sign over him that says in neon letters EVIL with an arrow pointing at him, but Minami is going to ignore that. She can't judge books by their cover and she approaches him with her clipboard and notes about the people who showed up.]

Hi! I'm Minami! Do you mind if I get your name and room number so I know where to find you later on?"

[fracta_anima]

It makes her laugh. There are seriously people like this who exist?

"Okay, cool. Can I get your room number in case I need to find you?" Somehow she manages not to laugh in front of him over his attitude.

[swordofzero]

"I'm trained in traditional self defense, Kendo mainly. I was also a soldier before I came here." The last year before he had came here he had mainly been fighting in knightmare frames but before that he had been a foot soldier.

"I don't have magic or any powers." Apart from the Geass cast on him but it wasn't like that was something he could control, or that could help anyone apart from him.

[complementing]

[Fist pump!] Yes! Thanks so much. If you can manage to wake up early, we can do that. After all, when your Night Watch gets going, you'll need the evenings.

[fracta_anima]

"Really? You look pretty young to be a soldier!" Not that she should talk considering she was in what was essentially a specialized squad for the extermination of shadows. It wasn't the army, but it was still a group that required some level of discipline and dedication.

[fracta_anima]

I can always try to work in naps somewhere. One good thing about this place is that no school means I can work my schedule however I want.

[capax_infiniti]

Ah, yes, of course. Xehanort, third floor second room.

[swordofzero]

Said the young girl who was organising an aliance to fight monsters. Circumstances meant they each did what they had to, age factored into it not very much at all.

"I'm eighteen," he told her, "I joined when I was fourteen," which was the youngest you could join, but it wasn't that unusual.

[complementing]

Oh yeah, you're totally right. I have so much time now I almost don't know what to do with myself every day. Do harp lessons take up your whole morning?

[fracta_anima]

Afternoon and they only take an hour. The rest of the afternoon I practice or I'm going through the media level for music or movies.

[fracta_anima]

"Is that normal where you're from?" She'd been getting curious about worlds besides her own lately. Zelda's stories about Hyrule fascinated her, and now that she was acclimating to the idea she'd be here for a long time, she really did want to know more about the people here.
