A breath escaped Andromeda before she realized that she had been holding one in, fogging up the lower portion of the piece of metal that she had been holding up. Annoyed, Andromeda wiped away the condensation with a hand before giving one last once-over of the object.

She was camped out in the small common area just outside the building where her last class had been held. The area was only partially paved over, and a few intermittently planted trees that looked twice as old as she was provided shade from the sun above. It was quaint, and had looked rather inviting. Emphasis on the had. Up until the point where Andromeda claimed half the place as her own and then decided that it needed a new look. Numerous dark purple pieces of armor were scattered across the grass in a radius around her, forming a proverbial metallic minefield to dissuade people from coming too close. There was a sort of method to the madness, as the parts got smaller and smaller as they approached her spot where she ruled the area from beneath the largest of the trees. There she sat, cross-legged on her throne of dirt and grass, with her back to the trunk, as she inspected the part in her hand; which appeared to be a magazine; like some sort of monarch.

Andromeda's classes were done for the day, her time technically free for use however she saw fit. She should've been reading up on her subjects, or maybe getting started on the work that had been assigned, like a good student would. Though at this moment, Andromeda felt no inclination to be a good student, or put herself to sleep intentionally, her classes had done that easy enough earlier. Still, it made her fidgety to just sit around and do nothing, so in an attempt to do something at least partially productive with her time, or at least something she could convince herself was productive, Andromeda had broken out her armor and found a place to field-strip it.

It was armor now, Andromeda had made a point to keep it as such. In part because she had no intention of making her life harder by lugging around the hunk of metal when it was a giant cannon, and because it made her look slightly less insane than if she had been brandishing around an overt weapon through the academy. Not that it mattered now, pulled apart into a multitude of parts laid out around her as it was. Not the most ideal place to take it apart, nor the cleanest, but there was more than enough room to do so.

No one had really stopped her anyway, or gone out of their way to navigate their way over to her, not that Andromeda totally would have noticed it anyway, what with the suitably distracting music playing from her scroll. If the barely rhythmic noise could be called music, it was just loud enough to be pretty much the only thing she could hear, but not so much that it was completely annoying a few paces away.

Satisfied, Andromeda placed the magazine back in the depression in the grass where she had picked it up from, before turning around in her spot to grab her scroll from where she had propped it up on one of the tree's gnarled roots, and then laying down herself in the grass. She maneuvered around a moment, having inadvertently stabbed herself in the back with a piece of the armor, before holding her scroll up to see if anyone had tried to contact her in the meantime.

Woo, being productive.


was it something I said?

Andromeda took a moment to consider what had just happened.

"Ah great," She let out a long breath, accompanied by her eyes traveling around the upward perimeter of her vision. It took her a second longer to realize that Ferris leaving in a huff meant that she was very much alone at the table now. Yeah, that was definitely not gonna happen, not right now. "H-hey-!"

Andromeda swung her legs around the seat, her feet barely touching the floor before she pushed herself up with one hand and started after her teammate, her empty plate in the other hand. Andromeda slid the first few steps, her boots squeaking on the tile, before she got a grip and made to catch up with Ferris' larger strides. "Wait up!"

Stepping up alongside Ferris, taking two steps for every one of his to keep up, Andromeda glanced up at him. Uhhhh.

"Hey, uh, sorry for asking?" She started cautiously, half expecting him to start sprinting away, which would be far more of a pain to catch up with. She wasn't exactly sure what had cause his sudden shift in mood, but Andromeda was willing to bet that the current day had something to do with it. Oh joy, family issues; she didn't want to touch that with a ten foot stick. With that in mind, she decided to go with something a fair bit more neutral. "Are you... okay?"

Mentally, Andromeda braced herself.

Andromeda watched Charon rush off, before glancing over at Ferris with a raised eyebrow, a nonverbal what was that about. She didn't press the issue, if he had something to get done, more power to him. Even so, he seemed... jumpy.

She mentally shrugged, and went back to her breakfast. Partly, the majority of her attention was held by her Scroll, which she had propped up against a glass on the table. She absently flicked through some page with one hand, absently taking a bite in between reading with her other. Parent's day, she had almost forgotten, almost. Making a big event out of it was kinda strange to her, she'd spent enough time wanting to get some breathing room away from her parents. A few months wasn't nearly enough time to make her start longing for home again. Home had been nice; idyllic, even; but more than a little cramped at times, and this was freedom at last. Sure she might've still had to share a room, but she got her own Scroll and enough space to actually store all of her stuff.

The food wasn't too bad either. A little sub-par, but some concessions had to be made. Speaking of, her fork struck the plate with the distinctive sound of metal on ceramic, and came up empty. Slightly startled by the sound, Andromeda looked up at her plate, and pushed it to the side. Giving one last glance at her Scroll, she collapsed the device and tucked it away in a pocket. It was still relatively early, they'd call when they could. Andromeda attempted to convince herself that she wasn't fretting over it. She wasn't all that successful.

"What about you?" Andromeda asked her teammate, electing to take her mind off of it, "Got anything planned for today?"

A mass of fiery bedhead, accented by an electric-yellow tee a size too large and a pair of (probably) pre-ripped jeans planted itself in the seat next to Charon, setting down a plate full of sugar and a cup full of caffeine. The monster raised its hands, and Andromeda finally appeared as she attempted to pull back her hair somewhat, though the amount of time her two teammates spent getting ready was about as long as she took protesting waking up by rolling around in bed. It was a futile effort, to say the least. She made an indignant huff, before rolling her eyes at Charon.

Oh come on, don’t be such a baby. It’s great.” she teased, her voice sounding more than a little rough. Andromeda paused for a moment, before looking up in apparent surprise at Ferris. “Wait you’re alive? I thought you’d be out for at least another like, day or something.

Truth be told, it was amazing that Andromeda herself had made it before the two of them had finished eating, though that honestly had something to do with the fact that waffles were in short supply and today was going to be a very busy day.

What’s with the sword, man?” She asked, before lowering her voice to a faux whisper, bleary eyes wide as she stared intently at Ferris, “is stuff going down today?

@SuperCustodiam @Crimson Raven


Good, he can play lifeguard.

Andromeda paused for a moment to get a reply back before looking up at the approaching Charon.

my hero

She glanced up just in time to see the effect of Charon, who had taken a seat across from her with a pretty bland looking excuse for breakfast, removing his hat. And subsequently revealing what was best described as really goddamn bad hairday. That, combined with the fact that he looked downright miserable, was a sight to behold. She smirked, somewhat satisfied that she wasn't the only one who had a time of it getting out of bed this morning.

"You look like you got electrocuted," Andromeda chirped, before adding helpfully, "and then someone stole your lunch money."

She stopped for a moment, mid-chew, to consider possibilities.

"...I mean, I'll go kick their ass for you, but it'll have to wait until number four here kicks in," She stirred said cup of coffee with her free hand.

"Say, any idea where the boss went too? Haven't seen him yet."

Andromeda's Scroll gave a beep, accompanied by a flash, which nearly caused her to drop the biscuit she had managed to obtain in surprise. "Mmmph!" she eloquently exclaimed, mouth currently full, as she used her pinky to select the new message. Her other hand was still occupied by a-slight warm at this point-cup of coffee. Number four, she was pretty sure. It was all kinda blending together into a unspecific time period before the caffeine kicked in.

From: bossman

You guys alive yet?

Andromeda snorted, rolling her eyes at the message. haha sure, funny

She pinky-typed a reply, pausing only to multitask (it is possible!) and take another bite out of the biscuit.

i found coffee

Andromeda glanced up, peering around the area for a moment. Ferris must've woken up far before she did, not all that surprising, seeing as he was nowhere to be found in what was most students' first stop in the morning. That, or she totally blew past him from her half-sleeping march to here. Either was equally likely.

Her Scroll flashed once again, drawing her attention back down.

Careful not to drown.

oh jeez

She made a face at the screen.

haven't yet, no promises tho

Looking up again, she actually recognized a familiar face in the growing sea of students, and she grinned, dropping her snack on the table to wave frantically in his direction.

"Mmmmmmph!" Andromeda vocalized, before swallowing. "Charon!" She called, waving her teammate over to her otherwise empty table, before typing out another message to Ferris.

i found charon

Golden streaks of sunlight traced the contours of the room, spilling through the half-curtained window and stretching out against the far wall. Situated in the space in between was one of the four beds within the room, which held a certain student who was currently regretting her choice to hastily claim the spot closest to the window as her own. Namely because of the fact that despite her best efforts to create her personal Fortress of Solitude out of the most abundant building material at the moment, blankets and pillows, the sun was still intruding on her domain. There was no escape, the whole section of the room was illuminated.

Andromeda let out a long breath of air which pushed out against her flimsy blanket shield which was making a valiant stand against the unending onslaught on her eyes. One more annoyed huff later, she pulled up the side of the blanket to peer out with bleary eyes towards neighboring bastions, she considered co-opting their blankets for her own use. She was certain that they wouldn't need them, and her situation was dire, so much so that it might call for the extreme eventuality of having to move from her current comfy spot. The end would justify the means.

Reluctantly, Andromeda rolled over in her bed, pulling the protective blankets with her as she went, to get her Scroll within arm's reach. She was immedaitely greeted by her own frowning, grumpy reflection to whom she flared her nose and glared at, before the screen flickered to life. 8:44.

Way too early normally, way too early for a weekend. Dismayed, she let her arm drop over to the side, swinging the Scroll back and forth between her fingers. Unfortunately, there was little chance of being able to fall back asleep, she was in awake and do stuff mode, which would last for at least sixteen more hours. The reluctant addition to the land of the living gave one final huff, before maneuvering her legs off of the bed without actually siting up, pulling herself to a passable approximation of "standing". Making her way to the bathroom, blanket cocoon and all, she made sure not to disturb those around.

A few minutes later, which was mostly comprised of applying cold water directly to her face, Andromeda had located a wearable t-shirt and jeans, and found herself staring at the pile of blankets she had deposited back on her bed, before simply deciding to throw her uniform's jacket over her shoulders as a workable substitute. Prepared for the worst the world could throw at her, she tiptoed towards the door and ventured out with a clear mission in mind: coooffeeeee noooow.

A few minutes of wandering hindered her progress somewhat, as she slowly pieced together where exactly the mess was located, though she eventually arrived at her destination. It took only a few short minutes, and a couple mumbled "g'mornin's" for her to secure the prize and find an empty table.

Andromeda braced her elbows against the cool surface of the table and rested her head in her hands, blankly staring at the stuff of life she had set down, trying to will its contents into her through sheer force of not wanting to move alone. Eventually she gave in, and began the task of getting the much needed caffeine into her system.

gonna need like, ten more of those

Becoming more and more conscious, Andromeda slid her Scroll onto the table, and began flicking through the list of contacts she had available, coming to her teammate's entries. There was a moment when she considered calling them... but that lasted about as long as it took for her to figure that they could call her if they needed to; she was busy getting more coffee.
