[So far? This isn't so bad. The room is pretty comfy and Fuuko can't deny that it's a nice place to stay, if only for a little while. The gravity of the situation is starting to set in, kind of like the opening night of a play. You feel more-or-less alright leading up to the event, but by the time the audience is settled and you're moments away from starting, that's when the fear, nervousness and all the other emotions set in.

To help ease her mind, if only a little, Fuuko asks for a few blocks of wood and a craft knife and sets about carving out a few more starfish. Of course she brought one with her, but a few more would never hurt right? Right. She's a little on edge right now but maybe a little conversation would help.]

[corrinesbell]

[Knock knock, Fuuko! Sheena has a feeling her starfish friend isn't much of a fighter.]

[starfishlovesu]

[Eep, someone at her door. Getting off of her bed and quickly heading over to the door, knife and half-carved starfish still in hand.

Oh it's Sheena! Happy smiles.]

Hello Sheena-san! Fuuko wasn't aware that you would be here too.

[She didn't really give the list much of a look after reading her own name.]

[corrinesbell]

Hey, Fuuko. ...These days it seems like I get picked to do everything. Can I come in?

[starfishlovesu]

Mmhm, make yourself at home. There's a lot of space in Fuuko's room after all.

[Sorry about the wood carvings all over the bedsheets...]

So you've been picked for one of these drafts before? That's very horrible.

[corrinesbell]

I've been in a few. Nothing'll ever be worse than the one in the jungle.

[In fact she shakes her head at the thought of it.]

...Are you nervous?

[starfishlovesu]

[Jungle? She's tempted to ask about it, but the way Sheena shakes her makes her rethink her question. It's probably not a good idea to ask about it now.]

Very, very nervous... But everyone told Fuuko what to do. Stay back, away from the fighting and be useful some other way. Following this advice should make Fuuko feel better.

[Too bad it isn't making her feel better in the slightest.]

[corrinesbell]

You're not really a fighter, huh? It's no big deal to be nervous.

[Sheena's going over to the wall request thing now. Furtively, the way a ninja does best, she asks for something. Three of those somethings end up in her hand, and she considers them before looking at Fuuko]

If I share a secret with you, can you keep it?

[starfishlovesu]

[Shaking her head. Nope, fighting is definitely not her thing. Though it might be tempting to break out the Starfish Heat if things get a little rough.]

A secret? Fuuko will make sure anything you say in these next few minutes will never leave this room Sheena-san.

[corrinesbell]

Oh, it's not something I'm gonna tell you.

[Fuuko looks so serious. Sheena picks up her hand and drops three small, round objects into it.]

If you've ever gotta get away, or just hide somewhere, drop one of these first. They'll flash and smoke, so you can run without anybody seeing you.

[starfishlovesu]

[Looking down into her hand and picking up one of the objects to inspect it.]

Right, Fuuko will be sure to keep these safe and use them for a quick escape! ...They won't start smoking unless Fuuko drops one, right?

[corrinesbell]

You've gotta drop them pretty hard, so don't worry. They're safe in your pocket or something.

[starfishlovesu]

[Into her pocket they go then.]

Okay, thank you very much Sheena-san. These will no doubt be very useful! ...Where did you find out about things like this though? Do you use these smoke balls too?

[They're round and make smoke, so 'smoke ball' is a good name for them!]

[bridal_idol]

[Well! Azusa is just going to up the door to her room now. Only, it's Fuuko's room. She's lost again, but she thought this was the right room for real this time...

She quickly realizes her mistake, though.]

Ah, I'm sorry, please ex...Fuuko-chan? Is that you?

[This does not feel good.]

[starfishlovesu]

[Ack-- Someone just came in like that?! Fuuko jumps a little before turning to look at the door.]

Azusa-san! That's right, it's Fuuko.

[Brushing away some of the wood carvings and rolling off of her bed and heading over towards the door. Familiar faces are very welcome right now.]

Fuuko didn't know you were here too.

[bridal_idol]

I'm sorry. I thought this was my room, truly...

[She isn't sure whether to shut the door behind her or leave it open, so Azusa remains right where she is in the doorway.]

I saw your name on the list. I thought it was a mistake, though...how are you feeling?
