Here comes trouble

[dangerousthings]

[A girl with an appearance that's a bit unusual even by the standards of the new imports comes sliding to a halt at the entrance of the cafeteria. Her eyes are mismatched, for one. The right is golden-yellow, the left is dark blue. She's wearing a black outfit with a high fluffy pink collar, absurdly long sleeves, and pink and black striped

[From a nearby table, Vaan looks up from his remedial math homework. Actually he was eating a Balamb Garden Hot Dog and just pretending to work. Some of the condiments have dropped onto the papers.]

Pfft. There's nobody there. What are you racing somebody?

[dangerousthings]

Yes! Luki races Noki all the time and usually wins.

[Her gaze falls on his math homework for a moment]

Are you s'pposed to put ketchup on your math homework here? That looks like fun!

[spiralclasm]

Huh?

[Vaan looks down, noticing the ketchup, and quickly wipes it off. It leaves a huge stain anyway.]

Oh. Totally. The instructor loves it.

[dangerousthings]

That's great! You should draw a smiley face with mustard!

hi, this is not here.

Re: hi, this is not here.

[dangerousthings]

[She'll find you~~~]

[spiralclasm]

[Wonders where that lady is running to.]

[He's left here totally clueless.]
[ Maybe she had to pee really bad?]

[Axel's got a raised eyebrow for you. He's probably right behind you, too, here to check out what's in the cafeteria.]

Got into the sugar today, kid?

[dangerousthings]

No, not yet! That's why I was racing Noki to the cafeteria. [She looks up at him and decides to make a small announcement]

Your hair is cool.

[carmineblight]

[Why, thanks, kid, takes random destruction to get this much cool.]

Noki? Friend of yours?

[dangerousthings]

[If that's what it takes, Luki and her sister are likely well on their way to achieving that level of cool. They just need to grind for experience and acquire badass trenchcoats]

Noki is Luki's sister!

[fleeorflight]

[Like a few of the other bystanders, Hope looks behind her for whoever she's talking to, but no one shows up. Maybe her opponent was just...really slow. Like Armadillon slow.]

You should get on line first too, before it starts piling up.

[dangerousplay]

Waaaaaah- Luki! So unfair!

[ SHE'S HERE SHE'S HERE

AND GUESS WHO'S GETTING BARRELED INTO IN HER HASTE TO CATCH UP TO HER SISTER (hint: it's hope) ]

[dangerousthings]

It's not my fault you're slow, Noki! But if you eat up that should help, right? C'mon, let's get in line like he said!

[And she's already on her way to the line, because now she knows where her sister is? Food FTW]

[fleeorflight]

[This had to be karma.

Hope goes down like the goddamn Titanic, albeit smaller, and lighter. He barely has time to get out a-]

What?!

[-before he goes down, face first, and without managing to butter any Commanders today.]

[macgyvered]

[ this is einiona's first time in the cafeteria, give her a minute to catch on ... oh, hey, she knows that hair. (it's hard to forget, even if she only saw it the once - tiny manic lolis with turquoise hair aren't exactly a dime a dozen around here.) to what she assumes is her roommate who she has, let's all remember, only met IN PASSING and thus doesn't realize yet what a catastrophic plan it is getting luki's attention for any reason ever, she throws a quick, welcoming wave, despite coming in decidedly behind luki time wise. ]

Hey! You fitting in okay, Tiny?

[ ridiculous nicknames are apparently going to be a thing. the management apologizes for any inconvenience. ]

[dangerousthings]

Tiny? My name is Luki!

[Luki's still a bit pouty about not getting her sister as a roommate, but Einiona seems all right from their brief meeting]

[macgyvered]

It's just a nickname, unless you want me calling you Lulu or something.

[ note: einiona's dialect tends to make "something" come out more like "somming", but the typist can't type dialect 'cause it makes her twitch like crazy, so we're just going to take this as a given from here on. ]

Personally, I like "Tiny" better, but I'm open to suggestion.

[dangerousthings]

But Noki is the same height as me, so what would you call her if you called me Tiny, Miss Ein?

[Don't mind her, Einiona. She can't pronounce your name so she's going with a shortened version.]
