"May Lenus watch over ye," Voirry waved back to the nurse as she rushed after Simone.
As they arrived at the cafeteria, Voirry grabbed Collins from behind and enclosed her in a hug,
"Little Miky, what are you doing, trying to look so aloof? Sitting on you own and looking all foreboding won't attract as many cute boys as you think, you know."
She chided her gently and smirked as her head moved over her shoulder.
She turned around to Simone, "Come on, let's chat over here!"

Marlene sat down at Erin's table, rubbing her temples. "Mein Gott und all seinen verrückten Verwandten. Erin, did you hear what happened?"
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.It took Horatia a good while to adjust her appearance in the bathroom- a girl did have to look her best, after all. Of course, her standards of appearances were somewhat outdated, and to most Horatia ended up looking like a thickly made up clown by the time she was done. The impression it made on others wasn't exactly the best, but the admiral in training was generally left alone despite her easily mocked appearance. Not having any idea of the incident that had just transpired, she calmly made her way to the cafeteria, though she did note that the halls were a bit quieter than normal.
When she entered the cafeteria, she did a quick appraisal of possible seating. Seeing Michelle alone, Horatia figured she would be open to idle conversation. She approached the table Michelle was sitting at and took a seat across from her. "Hey there! What are you doing all by yourself?"
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaHoratia just laughed. "No need to be so dramatic about it, if you don't want to hang out with me than just say so..." Saying this to nobody in particular, she began to appraise the lunch room once more for people to speak with.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaJenny didn't pay attention to the ruckus that had happened in the mess hall before she arrived. All the other students were chatting with each other. Jenny, however, had other priorities. She pulled out her cell phone and put in a speed-dial number.
"Hey, Mom, it's me." She said. "Yes, I'm fine. No, I'm not involved in the secession...no, not on either side, Mom. That's why I was calling. I wanted to let you know I'm going to try and get out of the country ASAP. Yes, I'm going to stop by the Embassy as soon as possible. Love ya, Mom. Tell Dad I said I'll see you soon." She hung up and went back to eating.
"Your mission is not to nuke the squid god." —FaramirHoratia nodded and made her way over. She respected upperclassmen like Voirry who didn't lord their seniority over lower grade levels. Oh, and there was Georgina as well. She sat down wherever there was space and smiled.
"Thank you for the invitation."
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"I must have missed it. What happened, exactly?"
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaSimone sat by Voirry's side, feeling just a little surprised at her liveliness after what both of them saw in the nurse office. Still, after the dread she had felt upon watching the news Simone had to admit that the change in ambient was very much welcome.
She smiled slightly and drank from a class of water, looking at how Voirry attracted more girl to their table.
Upon hearing the question from the underclass girl with too much make up Simone spoke her first words "Secession. Apparently a there are some people that believe their interest would be better served if they make up their own country. Of course, the government doesn't like their idea one bit"

"A revolution? Here, of all places?" Horatia rolled her eyes. "Figures... how grim does it look as of now?"
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"But still. If fighting's breaking out in school, we can only assume the worst is going to happen. I'd rather not have to duel with the others..."
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"I kinda fancy a good scuffle now and then," Voirry smiled before pausing and shifting to something more sombre, "But yeah. There's too many good friends here if the academy gets stuck up in all a this. I'd rather not hafta hurt anyone from here."
She paused again.
"Well, I'd hate to hafta hurt most people from here."
It's as Miss Singetorriques says." Horatia absolutely butchered that last name, but she didn't notice. "While I could hold my own, I would rather not hurt my peers." Horatia mulled over it for a second. "I would stay with the academy, if only because rebellion against the government is against the wishes of my parents."

Simone looked at the news with a grim sense of foreboding... each caption showing a new aspect of the volatile situation.
So that's what this is all about... A land tired of not having its voice heard decide to band on their own and cast their back to a government that does not represent them. And it doesn't look like this is going to calm down anytime soon. How could they keep all of this a secret from us? Simone thought to herself before hearing the words of the nurse. The young lady nodded her head once and started to walk outside in the direction of the cafeteria. She only waited long enough for Voirry to catch up with her.
