Meche really wasn't sure what to do with herself tonight. Hitsugaya hadn't left any messages for Arts and Crafts--or any messages at all, now that she thought about it. Shouldn't he at least have mentioned that he'd gotten her report? Even if she wasn't sure she trusted his judgment about assignments all the time, he was usually pretty good about things like that.
Maybe he hadn't come on the trip today and had put up something on the Institute's bulletin board instead. It might be a long shot, but Meche didn't have any other plans for the night, and if Special Counseling wasn't going on tonight, maybe the Sun Room would be relatively safe. She decided she might as well take a quick run over there just to check, and if there was nothing she was supposed to be doing, she could check in on Senna and Alita or come back to her room and practice her spear technique. As bad as she still felt about what had happened--no, what they'd done to Roland, she knew fighting wasn't a skill she could afford not to develop.
She pulled on her boots and sweatshirt just in case she ended up going outside again (Meche really hoped not, in this weather, but if one of the girls was set on going she'd probably cave pretty quickly), then picked up her spear, maps and flashlight and set off. Manny's sword she left untouched in the closet. She still wasn't ready to think about it.
