Second Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

[endsthegame]

He'd slept, if not a lot; come early morning, some tossing and turning had culminated in Ender sneaking out of his room to pad quietly towards the common room. He had learned from last week's mistake, and brought a book on engineering with him.

Picking a spot on the couch, Ender sat down, and opened up his book, burying himself in the lessons of a new trade.

The Roof, Sunday Morning

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Identity would seem to be the garment with which one covers the nakedness of the self, in which case, it is best that the garment be loose, a little like the robes of the desert, through which one's nakedness can always be felt, and, sometimes, discerned.
~James Arthur Baldwin

Lucas had been feeling lost lately, like he'd been stripped of the things that made him, well, Lucas. In an attempt to regain his sense of self, he settled on the roof with paper and pen, hoping his rambling writing would change into something good sometime soon with the help of some fresh air.

The crumpled papers next to him would indicate that hadn't happened yet.
