Even with the nasty weather, Zack still felt refreshed after going outside. Humidity would have reminded him of Gongaga, but he wasn't sure he needed that. Not now, not when he wasn't even sure if he'd be able to get back home and see his parents again. Not that he should have the chance at all, but it was hard to think about nonetheless. Seeing

He figured he could ask on the bulletin board if his curiosity didn't fade, but for now Sora was going to sit on it. He could think about it over lunch, at the very least. Fried food wasn't his favorite, but there was nothing bad about it! He was staying away from the coleslaw, though. That stuff just looked gross.
He got his meal quickly due to the line still being short. He kept getting to things early today, and while that was normally not a problem, it did matter when he was trying to find his two friends. They hadn't responded to his bulletin note yet, and while he knew it hadn't ( ... )

"Aside from that, I'm well," he added. "I had a rather successful run last night and am eager for this evening to arrive." It seemed strange to be saying such a thing, given the abominations that wandered the halls at night. Still, he couldn't deny his desire to have a new weapon in his hands, ready for testing. With any luck, it wouldn't fail him on the first try, despite the crude construction.

He was one of a few to first reach the cafeteria, a fact Nigredo appreciated. Choosing a seat had the tendency to develop into a painful process while he always found less constricted personal spaces to be quite pleasant. As soon as the child had his tray, he settled into one corner, spacing out the areas between other people and himself evenly. Rather than eating, however, Nigredo curled into his chair, leaned into the table, and fell asleep.
A nearby nurse stared at him but made no move to interrupt this impromptu nap.
[Rika. I guess we could take one more if necessary.]

At least she was relatively early getting to lunch after her nap, early enough that she didn't see -- no. There was someone she recognized, and someone she wanted to talk to, after the events of last night. She took her food over, gently set the tray down, and asked, "Nigredo-kun? Are you all right? I was - am - worried..."

Therefore, when he lifted a head to regard the voice, the movement appeared to flow. Like a slow, trickling river. Unfortunately, his voice killed the effect. "Ri--" Nigredo croaked out, before coughing uncontrollably into his sleeve. He had wanted to say how her sentiment over him reflected his, but it seemed the child would have to take a more roundabout approach.
Once his lungs calmed, he resorted to whispers, "I'm fine. Just have a cold. Are you okay? I'm sorry about--" To his dismay, Nigredo heaved another coughing fit. Perhaps keeping it short would do him well.

"I'm more worried about you. Between last night and you feeling sick..." She reached out and touched his hand, noting how warm it felt. Feverish. I don't want to call a nurse, though.
"And don't apologize. What happened was my fault. I..."
A pause, as she considered her words.
"I'm used to needing to step in."

After getting his lunch, the Noah looked around for a place to sit before spotting a familiar face at one of the tables. Peter didn't look like he was in the best mood, but that hardly stopped Tyki Mikk. He approached the other man anyway and claimed the seat across him without invitation.
"Hey there," he greeted with a grin. "It's been a while, no?"

"Things have been pretty quiet since then, though. Guess that counts as 'all right'." Okay, he had gone ahead and taunted a few people, but that hadn't caused any bloodshed. Yet. But he was his white self, wasn't he? Just a normal hobo here. If Peter thought questioning would be easy, he was in for a disappointment. Well, he guessed he could always see how far the other man was able to get. As long as black and white weren't going to end up as a boring shade of grey, the Noah could mess around as much as he'd like.
He took a bite from his chicken. "So how 'bout you?"

Reaching the cafeteria wasn't the fun thing that it used to be. Her stomach growled once, then settled. Funny thing, that. It was the first time that she had felt a little hungry in the past day. Man. She knew there was something wrong by that, and she wouldn't even try to deny it. Not eating was nothing good.
Too much had happened lately that she almost forgot to look for Peter. But the boy was too conspicuous with his towering tray. Hopefully he wasn't up for a rematch today. Her own had the basics, no extras grabbed. She balanced it on a hip and wandered over, a grin half-cocked on her lips despite the tiredness in her eyes. "You gonna eat all of that, Mr. Closet Geek?"

The girl smiled. "Thanks." She dropped into a chair, slightly more careful than normal. The tray clattered down in front of her. "Half to pass," she said, trying to slide past the subject without too much exclamations from the lack of food-wanting. "I don't know if I'll finish this."
Oh, churning emotions. Happy days, right? A hand reached up to scratch through her hair. "Huh. Yeah, I didn't really... Think to..." Fuck. Trailing off is not really a happy sign either. She should have been more careful on the board. She glanced up, trying to give him a half smile. "Sorry to get you all worried."
