[Sanji's never in a good mood for these things, but the atmosphere this time seems to be even darker than before. And not just from him, either. He goes willingly, but stiffly, keeping in company with Vivi and Luffy, and possibly Ginko and Xion if he sees them on the march to the dorms.

And once he's there... he knows there are people to check in on, to approach and mingle with and try to focus on something that isn't these upcoming days, but -- eh, fuck it. Cigarette break first.

The door's open, though, for anyone who can deal with the nicotine addictee. If not, wait outside for him to finish. He'll track down everyone he needs to eventually.]

[howtobeaboss]

Sanji, I'm intruding.

[And then he's just gonna kinda... walk on in yup. At least the door to your room was open this time.]

[oda_hates_me]

[Sanji glances up from the bed.] Yo, Luffy.

Where's Vivi-chan?

[howtobeaboss]

Hmm? I thought you would know.

[Rydia arrives willingly, mostly because there are friends and non-combatants to protect. When she does arrive, her designated room goes ignored, as usual. Instead, she's likely to be found in Kain's. The summoner will also be out and about, checking on familiar faces.]

[mountain_sage]

[Likewise, Saleh will be looking around for his companions as well. Since they're heading into a rainforest, he's left his fire-based spells behind. He's equipped himself with Thunder and Divine, and staves for healing and curing the poison ailment.]

Rydia...

[eidolon_soul]

[She perks up and quickens her pace as she heads over.]

Saleh! Do you have everything you'll need?

[mountain_sage]

Yes. [He brings out his pack and shows her the contents.] I have my staves and my tomes. I've left my fire-based spells, as I think they would do more harm than good, however.

[Someone might need to help Giles find his room, first - why do you people insist on text? But he'll go willingly with the droids, for once - his main goal is to stick close to Helios and Frederic, although who knows how well that will work in the crowds?

Once he finds his room, Giles will request the last of the gear he's still missing. Then weapons - a crossbow, a Glock pistol, plenty of ammunition, and a buckler shield. His truth sword, he brought with him. Then he'll request a certain spellbook, and smiles grimly when it turns up on his bed.

Last but not least? A record player and a good selection - something to help him settle down before they're called out. He'll leave the door cracked for anyone who wants to stop by, and later on might try finding his friends.]

[unseenspy]

[And Jay will spot Giles while he's wandering and trying to find his friends.]

Giles?

[consultmybooks]

[Blink. Hey, it's a familiar voice, at least. Giles glances over his shoulder at the boy.]

Jay? Hello.

[unseenspy]

[Jay notices Giles' awkward looks.]

You look a little lost.

[This... could be a problem. As soon as Rogue arrives outside the barrier she stumbles. The return of some powers to full strength is not a blessing. She's had months now where the psyches were not as loud.

One hand goes up to her head in a tell-tale gesture. Not now, damnit.

She has to get to her room. She has a carefully researched list of items to request.

But the flood of voices does not ebb. Sensing weakness, or need, or simply opportunity, the psyches hammer ceaselessly at her mental boundaries. She may need some help just finding her room, because for such a prodigious reader it sure doesn't look like she's paying any attention to those signs.]

[frost_jewel]

[It's oppressive and hot out here, isn't it?

Which is what she thinks is wrong, when she comes across someone she knows.]

Are you all right?

[touchofrogue]

[Dealing with a conversation like this is a bit like trying to embrace a angry rattlesnake and keep it from biting you at the same time.]

I just need ta get ta my room.

[frost_jewel]

[At least Mia knows that Rogue is nicer than this really.]

I will help you, if you will accept it.

[crisis_rain]

[Raven doesn't want to be here, he really does not. But he knows he doesn't have a choice in the matter, so instead of going straight to his room, he's decided to wander around the corridors. Maybe when he gets bored of the plain white walls, he'll head to the room. For now though, he's too restless.]

[byakkoyagirl]

[Hey corridor wandering. Guess which one of your dream buddies is walking with a bottle of scotch. When she notices Raven she'll wave to him from the hall.]

[crisis_rain]

[Wait! You have alcohol?! Maybe he should've checked the room first after all.

Oh well, have a friendly wave back!]

Hey! Wait- this isn't a dream is it?

[byakkoyagirl]

[Free booze is always a good thing to partake in before going to war.]

Nope, not in the slightest. Or maybe it is. I don't really bother to figure it out.
