Fandom High Dormitories

After speaking with Lucifer and finally dealing with the fact that she couldn't remain away from the dormitory all night, it only seemed appropriate for Setsuna to fly back, settling on the roof. She...was there, she didn't necissarily have to go in quite yet and, besides, she knew once she got to her room to lie down in her bed and sleep, all she'd be able to think about would be this morning with Ami. So she found a place to perch and looked out over the landscape, thinking. Tomorrow was Thursday. Spar with John, and a promise to visit Ami at work. The spar would help get her mind off things; the visit...time would tell how that was, but, if she didn't show up, then she wouldn't be doing a very good job of maintaining the illusion that everything was alright and nothing had changed...

...but she was feeling that everything had changed. And this was only the very beginning.


[[ s'open, natch ]]

The lack of privacy thanks to the gaining of respective roommates lead Setsuna and Ranma outside on a leisurely stroll outside. They walked quietly for a bit until they found a comfortable pace, and Setsuna lightly took his hand, giving him a shy smile. //"So..."//


[[ for ranma_sao, but they're technically interuptable ]]

A slight damp albino crow was working its way down the fourth floor hallway.

Occationally, it attempted to flap its wings and take flight, only succeeding a strange, awkward sort of jumping effect.

It looked extremely pissed off, for a crow. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that the crow was actually a girl, and the girl desperately did not want to be a crow.

Setsuna tried Jude's door first, knocking her beak across it until her head hurt, but there was no response after a while, and she figured maybe he had class or work or something, which caused her to squawk in annoyance and flap her wings again because there was no way, if she didn't figure out this bird flying thing, that she could make it into town very easily.

Thankfully, there was a second option. Although, after last night, her reluctance was very, very strong. However, they were the only two people who knew, that she could recall. And getting back to normal was significantly more important than anything else right now.

Setsuna started, awkwardly wobbling in her unfamiliar new form, down the hall, to start pecking at Ranma's door. If he wasn't in, she didn't know what she'd do. Maybe try to make it up to Alphonse's room, but how would she explain it to him? But he could maybe keep an eye on her, since her abilities were severely limited at the moment. Unless, of course, Cuddles had a thing for birds. Her red albino eyes blinked, panic welling up inside of her at the thought of being eaten by Alphonse's cat. Her beak rapped rapidly on Ranma's door.

But wait! MIZU! Panic overtaking her, she stopped knocking and ran around in frantic, wing-flapping circles in front of his door, squawking up a worried, frantic storm of swears.

Sleep seemed to be eluding Sakurazaki a lot lately. She drifted into the fourth floor common room for a glass of water, but, knowing a return to her room would be met with the same tossings and turnings that had plagued her earlier, she plopped down on the couch with her drink and idly flipped through channels on the television, hoping to find some good, old adventure movie. So far, she was finding nothing.

[[ mun can't sleep; method rp? anyways...open! ]]

Sakurazaki only had six days. Six days wasn't much time at all, so she knew she'd have to work hard, and she'd have to work smart. At that meant starting out simply, with a light but fierce run through her meditations and forms with the practise swords in the gym. It had been a while since she'd had to utilize some of the more complicated forms; she'd need to refresh herself with them before taking them to live steel.

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....

'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]]

Relocating from the salle to the gym, Sakurazaki almost immediately starts doing some quick stretches. As she links her fingers together and brings her arms up over her head to stretch them out, as well as her back, she grins at Ranma. //"So you're really gonna spar with me this time, huh? None of this constant dodging and blocking and refusing to go for an offensive?"//
