It was already mid-morning.
It wasn't too late, or too early. That was good for the students, really. By now they would be used to the slightly different days and nights of Kantaku. It wasn't a giant change. Ten hours of night, fourteen hours of daylight. They weren't much longer then the times on Earth, at least for those who lived on the planet. Still, it was a change and it took some getting used to. As opposed to most days, the students were not being bustled about to their classes. Today was reserved for practicing a different skillset, and preparations were already in order.
Today was pilot training for the students of the Tsukino-Danvers Academy.
Chie sipped her juice. She'd purchased the box from the mechanical vendor near to her room. It was a grape blend, and it was frankly quite tasty in the tiny girl's opinion. Sure, she had to be on her way, but there was nothing stopping her from getting a nice drink before she got there. It's not like she would delay getting to her favorite "class" in the academy. The halls ahead were clean, white, and utilitarian. The people who constructed the Academy hadn't exactly been planning for much decoration. No, the decoration came from the teachers. Some posted cheerful signs on their doors, others left them as they were. It depended on the attitude involved in the classroom, really. Chie shrugged as she walked. As long as the teacher didn't annoy her she didn't mind so much. Unfortunately, plenty of teachers annoyed her. Badly.As the small girl strolled through the hall, her uniform swished. The Tsukino-Danvers girls uniform was black-and-white, resembling the sailor suits still frequent back home in Japan. Or in colonies heavily influenced by Japan. It didn't bother Chie.
It made things even more like an anime then they already were.
This was, in Chie's opinion, completely awesome. Her room was plastered in the evidence of her consumption of such media. Manga(paperback and holographic, she enjoyed both), light novels(the same), anime, figures, visual novels(all ages), her room was a haven for her adoration of such things. Chie brought at least one manga almost everywhere she went... except for today. Today was awesome enough that she didn't need to bring something along to occupy her. MF pilot training... of, it got better and better every time. Just being in the cockpit was amazing, and it got better and better the more that the students were allowed to do. Chie suspected today would be full-blown combat training... Boom-chan was ready. So was Chie.
Ignoring everything around her, the little girl strolled onward, the excitement inside her barely showing on her face.
"Waaah today's training day!"
Ichigo sprinted down the hall, waving her arms. She wasn't late, far from it. No, her hurry was an expression of how excited she was for the impending mecha pilot training. It as great and awesome and she got to talk to people and wear a tight-fitting costume! ... Well that part wasn't really the best part but it was part of being a pilot and all! And it wasn't so much a costume as a pilot suit since it was so important to piloting but whatever Ichigo was really excited right now! As she ran down the hall(completely forgetting that school rules prohibited such behavior), the pink-haired girl waved happily to those she passed, grinning widely.
"Aren't you all excited?!" she cried, "It's time to pilot our MF's! Oh this is so awesome I feel all tingly and great!"
... And narrowly avoiding falling flat on her face. Ichigo suddenly stumbled, waving her arms frantically to stay upright as she pitched forward. Oh no that wasn't good the floor was hard and hitting that would be pretty painful...
The girl caught herself. Barely. For a moment she paused, wiping her forehead.
"Whew... that as close!"
... And then she attempted to keep running down the hall.
