Sakurazaki had been feeling rather lazy, especially for her, today. She was still bothered intensely by her recent bout of thinking too much about her jobs, and her right arm and shoulder was killing her from weilding Peter's sword not dirty. But she was also feeling a little restless. Snatching up her English copy of "The Art of War," a dictionary, and a notebook, she perches herself crosslegged on a log around the campfire, alternating between reading and composing some sort of sketchy lesson plan to incorperate Eastern philosphy into Peter's training.


[[open; my availabilty today? Really crazy and wonky. Unpredictable. So expect slow-play on the Sakurazaki interaction. I still wanted to toss something out, though. SP is love, and all that. :) ]]

Despite having practised a bit that morning, Sakurazaki couldn't really get her attempts to work on a more Western form out of her head. She had told herself she'd do some meditation after her workshop, but the heat made her restless, and she couldn't quite focus. She was soon on her feet, talking quietly to herself in Japanese as she shifted through the motions, arms moving in haphazard response to the idea of having a sword. It didn't take her long to become extremely focused, although occationally frustrated, released through a brief pause and a growl. To a casual observer, it probably looks like a very ritualistic sort of dance...or a very strange sort of fit.

Sakurazaki settles under a tree as usual to intiate her meditations, just out of her shower, with her hair still a little damp and hanging around her shoulders.

She really probably should have noticed that it was usually easy to find the quiet to reach her centre today. But, for the most part, she just finds it really, really nice. Peaceful....

The heavy rain had put a kibosh on his plans to hang out on the roof today, so he was instead in a corner of the porch that the rain couldn't get to, listening to it and jotting down things in his notebook.

ooc: Please come disturb me! convince me to play in the rain, annoy me, whatever

Inspired by the reminder from Pippi, Sakurazaki has perched herself on the roof of her cabin, right over the door, camcorder in hand, the stick from a grape sucker resting between her lips. She was hoping to catch her cabinmates as they drifted in or out, but was finding them to be much more dormant today than they were yesterday. So she's simply getting a lot of footage of birds, which she enjoys emmensely and wondering if she'd be up to making another documentary about bird and wings and flying in her free time. She felt like she had a lot of free time to fill up, too, as her workshops this time around lacked the heavy project-ness of her last ones.

She is getting a little bored, though, feeling terribly restless.

And then there was the whole drifting off into thoughts on Destiny thing. That was a bit of a nuisence, but that's what she got for watching birds too much.

While Sakurazaki had felt that yesterday morning's meditation had managed to recentre her quite well, she was also well aware of the fact that it had lead to a very successful day. So it certainly would not hurt to start the next day the same way.

Only, not quite the same. Wouldn't want to fall into the rut of repeatition and sameness. She finds herself under a different tree and, instead of sitting meditation, she chooses to execute her tai chi meditation forms. Eyes closes and breathing focused, she begins to execute the slowly shifting, firmly settled movements, becoming one with the air, the light, the motion of her body and the simple processes of her breathing.

[[same deal as yesterday: open with brief disappearance for class]]

Sakurazaki had found the set-up of the living room for the documentary showing quite simple, cleaning up a little, pulling in some extra seating should they nead it, and scattering a spread of snacks and drinks over a table off to the side. Not that she really expected much of a turn-out, anyway, but she couldn't help but feel like she was missing something. She'd never really set up an event before.

But here it was. The directorial debuts of Setsuna Sakurazaki and Pippi Longstocking. The more she considered it, the more Sakurazaki felt that her name really was quite catchy as a director's name.

Conner had a small fire going in his cabin's campfire pit and was sitting cross-legged in front of it, trying out some of the meditation techniques that Sakurazaki had shown him in the morning.

He kept getting distracted, though, since he still couldn't figure out what exactly it was that Nadia had found so funny last night, and it was perplexing enough to constantly break him out of whatever bit of meditative trance he managed to get into. So after about a half hour of frustration, he gave up and went into his alcove to grab a hacky sack.

Heading back out to the campfire, Conner went into a hacky sack drill and lost himself soon enough in the movements, reacting instead of thinking, just getting into the flow of it. In the end, it pretty much amounted to a slightly sweatier version of the same thing.

'There's nothing a good sleep won't cure,' Alphonse had told Sakurazaki last night, but a good sleep was no where to be found. Not with the knowledge of him sleeping so close in an alcove near her, not with her mind still reeling through its strange cloudiness, trying to put pieces of one and two and three together and doing an extremely poor job of it.

She desperately needed to meditate on this.

So, in the wee hours of the morning, since she couldn't sleep anyway, Sakurazaki settled with her legs folded underneath her at the bottom of tree on the edge of the Puffin campfire, drew in a deep breath, and tried to collect herself. She focused on her breathing, knowing that she'd need to chose something simple, something important, to centre herself, otherwise she'd just get lost again. Breathe in...and out. Breathe in...and out. Cleansing breaths, revitalizing breaths. Important to life, important to clarity. She'd clear her lungs and clear her mind.


[[~open! class in a little bit, will catch dropped pings if any after that]]

Conner had just tossed his things into his alcove when he got here, before wandering off to be sociable or something silly like that.

Which unfortunately meant that he was now stuck with the task of unpacking so he actually, you know, had a bed to sleep on. Since sleep was a Good Thing, he was grudgingly applying himself to said task now. And in order to hopefully alleviate some of the drudgery, the curtain to his alcove was wide open.

After a very typical wander through the woods, Sakurazaki returns to her alcove to find two things: a letter and those horrible, horrible tones of her phone. Naturally, concerned that something might be wrong, she leaps for the phone.

Mushi Mushi? )

Well, that was an odd conversation; still unsure of how she feels, Sakurazaki sets her phone aside and picks up the envelope. The cartoonish drawings scattered all of it of a chibified Setsuna with obvious ponytail holding hands and kissing a bunch of general chibified men doesn't just make her want to blush and hide it, but it also tells her exactly who it's from. Nice timing, Saotome-san.... Sakurazaki opens it up and reads )

Eyes narrowing, Sakurazaki snaps her fingers to bring up a little fire in her palm and sets the letter on fire. What the hell was she thinking, writing to Saotome-san? Worst. Idea. Ever.

By the time she collapses into a couch in the common room, tilting her head back and closing her eyes with a long sigh, she's pretty irritated and generally not in a good mood. And she just wants to sit.

[[OOC: Warning: Cuts are there with GOOD REASON. I write. A lot. ^_^ But interaction is now open, to cabinmates and anyone else who might have a reason to be there]]

He's waiting for Setsuna again with a notebook and a mission. He couldn't confront her with Jude there. he had moved out of sight when they had left and returned together, he couldn't let this go. He usually does let things like this slide, anything that aggravated him usually passed for him after the sun set and rose again. But this time it wasn't working. He couldn't stop being upset by this. He takes a deep breath and waits impatiently again.

((open to anyone who passes))

Ranma is sitting outside Puffin on the side of the door with a notebook in his hands. He looks mad and isn't exactly looking approachable. He'd probably snap at anyone who attempted to talk to him. He's waiting for a certain Puffin resident to return something to them. He doesn't mind waiting all day if he has to. He's pissed and determined.

Good mood completely disipated from a variety of factors, some of which she tries to ignore rather than name, Sakurazaki is sitting outside of Puffin late at night, poking the fire with a long stick, thinking as she watches the flames.

Armed with mini-Yuunagi and a flashlight, although she doesn't really plan on using either of them, Sakurazaki woke in the wee hours of the fading night to relieve Tim of his guard duties. She had already deftly placed a series of paper guards around the area that would alert her to any intruders and she stalked expertly on the roof, watching, waiting, thinking. Thankfully, she still had a lot to think about, despite her weekend retreat.

Yeah. She was probably taking this a bit to seriously, but it was all just second nature for her. It felt like home.

[[OOC: what is your character doing up this early/late anyway? :P Go to bed. hehe. Open, natch]]

Sakurazaki had returned to camp just as quietly as she had left...Actually, no, she had been significantly quieter on her return, considering the very bothersome phone call she had recieved. She slips into the cabin and washes off the retreat sweat from herself, and then slips out just as easily, lingering over to the campfire. Her hair is still damp, down around her shoulders, and she reaches up and stretches, letting out a long grunt as her muscles loosen. Ahhh, that felt good.

The whole retreat felt good. She desperately needed it. And when she drops onto a log and sets to starting a fire, a very warm smile is on her face. She leans forward and watches the blaze in calm, meditative contentment.

[[OOC: zomg, grab happy Sakurazaki while she's here! open!]]

Tim had finally decided to try this sitting on the roof thing. It hadn't been easy but he'd managed to get to the roof. Not that he was certain how he would get down, but for now he was content to perch, and shine his flashlight at passerby.

Edward sat himself down at the edge of the fire ring, eyeing the fire as he cautiously set a few books down. Hunting around for a little bit dug up a proper stick for marshmallow roasting, and opening a bag of large poofy marshmallows, Edward set some marshmallows to roasting.

Open for all your Puffin campfire needs!

Tim stepped out onto the porch and down to the fire circle, a mug of hot chocolate in his hand. This was something he'd never done before, and he thought it might become a new morning ritual while he was here. It was pretty out here, he was starting to wish his mother had been able to afford to send him to summer camp before.

come chat, set a spell, take your shoes off
