[The first thing Cecil did upon finding his room was to sit down and take a deep breath. The second thing he did was to request every single battle item he could think of, including the more useless ones. He's now in the middle of action number three, counting and ordering them. Considering the quantity he obtained, that should take a while.

Visit him, if you wish. You'll probably leave his room with a few gifts.]

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain stops by, of course, figuring he should see what Cecil's up to as he prepares.]

[puppet_paladin]

[Cecil is up to wondering if testing his Triton's dagger indoors is a good idea. Luckily, Kain's arrival distracts him.]

Almost ready?

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain nods firmly, looking as confident as possible.]

I am... Are you?

[Raine is handling her pre-draft arrangements the way she usually does: putting together the small assorted first aid kits for each person, and then likely assisting with the additional call for supplies once she finishes with that.

The kits are small, containing medicinal items, gels, elixers, bandages, and other quick and easy first aid supplies just in case the fighters find themselves worn out and not in the presence of someone who can immediately tend to them. For those people who aren't familiar with them, she's also taking the step to stick in a note of what each item does specifically, just in case. At least she took care of that part before they actually left, given the limited time they have to work with here.

She'll check up on others if she can, but for now, this is her priority -- and making sure that they get delivered to all of the rooms, of course, though others are welcome to assist with that aspect.]

[corrinesbell]

[Helping Raine hand these things out sounds like a great plan. And it'll keep Sheena's mind off of anything else that might take it up right now.]

Need a hand?

[wise_maiden]

I may need some help making sure these all get handed out. There's less time to work with than I expected.

[corrinesbell]

That's why I offered. Give me a bunch, I'll go down to the other end and start there.

[magiconcehad]

[She should probably request a weapon or something. Find somebody to stick to or what she'd need to do. Maybe even see if there were others she knew here. But she's currently terrified. Talking to Luke and Giles had helped some, but she just... she still didn't feel ready. At all. She wished the others were here so much...

She's just terrified right now, and dealing with it by picking a room and sulking in it, Thylos curled up next to her.]

[wise_maiden]

[Eventually there will be a knock on her door, as Raine continues to hand out her first aid and healing supply kits. She should at least be known to Lindsay as one of her teachers.]

Hello?

[magiconcehad]

[Lindsay's head jerks up a little in surprise, though she relaxes a moment later, upon seeing who it is. She smiles, albeit a little weakly. It's nice to see someone familiar, at least.]

Oh, hello Miss Sage.

[wise_maiden]

Hello, Lindsay. I apologize for startling you, but I've brought some supplies. [Though she can tell that all isn't exactly well with her student.] ... Do you know what you're going to be doing?

[eyesofpity]

[Once Leonhardt arrives to the dorms he goes ahead to the room assigned to him and will leave the door open just a crack. To him that is saying someone can come in, but please knock first.

He'll go ahead and request some things he couldn't find in the village. A few extra quartz for his orbment, some tools to go ahead and give it a quick tune up that he didn't have on him previously and a fair stock of healing items, especially EP charges since he has a feeling that is likely what he'll need the most of. Though he will also request a few particular dishes that are good on the field and provide added benefits. Not that he needs them, but every edge can only help.

Feel free to come and bother him. He seems perfectly calm and ready for this, like it is perfectly normal for him to do something like this.]

[eyesofremorse]

[It probably won't come as much of a surprise that at around 11AM, someone can be heard knocking on the door to Leonhardt's room. Slightly open or not, Joshua isn't about to just enter uninvited. Not today, anyway.

...He actually feels a bit awkward about stopping by, considering how their last conversation went, but given the circumstances... it just seems like something he ought to do.]

[eyesofpity]

[Nope, no surprise at all and since he recognizes both the knock and the familiar presence he'll just keep at his orbment tuning for the time being.]

You can come in, Joshua. My door is always open for you.

[eyesofremorse]

[Once Leonhardt finishes speaking, Joshua will carefully open the door a little further, then enter the room and close the door behind him.

That outfit he's wearing looks rather familiar, doesn't it?]

...Hey, Loewe. [Though he's trying to smile, his voice is quieter and more detached than usual as he speaks. It's probably not hard to guess that something is bothering him about their current situation... but that's not something he really wants to bring up. Instead, he just focuses on a somewhat more general topic.]

Did you already request everything you're going to take with you? [He did. Recovery items, some normal medical supplies... and of course, a few of his usual tools in case they should prove to be necessary. Just as a precaution.]

[odastillhatesme]

[He doesn't stay in his room long. With only three hours to prepare and a mind made active from restlessness, Sanji would rather not get too comfortable in the brief and artificial hospitality provided by the Malnosso shitheads. He'll seek out Nami, Ace, and Sayo, first and foremost - Vash too, if he gets the chance - and after that will check up on acquaintances before he makes his requests.

By the time thirty minutes are left, he's as prepared as he's going to be: a backpack filled with provisions, one of Raine's medical kits, and little odds and ends.

He just hopes that's enough.]

[touchofrogue]

[Yup. So here's Rogue. In her X-Men Uniform. Toting a Big Damn Duffle Bag of Guns. She's on her way back from the hanger, decision made. She just needs to drop of the guns she's not going to use and get refills of energy cells and other ammunition on the three she'll be bringing.

Narrow hallway, this. Passing through when two people are going in different directions may get awkward.]

[odastillhatesme]

[Holy mother of-- that is a big duffle bag, and Sanji immediately scoots to the side before he registers the woman carrying it.

But when he does--]

... Oi, it's you! [He hasn't seen her since coming back, so pardon the surprise... not to mention she's packing enough heat to block out the sun. Or cave them all in.]

[touchofrogue]

[Oh great.

The epitome of courtesy, as always, Rogue responds to him instead of just walking by as her lower instincts would dictate. She hoists the back up a little higher to make passing through easier.]

Yep.
