[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

[ Supplies, yes, and food as well, but Tifa also wants to see if there's any clues for how they can get back. It sounds like Azure feels the same on that point, so.

Off they go! ]

Oh, so you're put into a house based on where you're from? I guess that's kinda like how they split us into groups now?

[ Except she and Yuffie are in different groups...

As for that next question, she glances away for a moment. ] I don't mind telling you, but it's kind of a long story... and might seem a little unbelievable.

[brokenlance]

Yes. Historically, our nations have been at odds many times - and the Houses do reflect a modicum of that same rivalry. Competitions are often held to test our skills against each other, often mock battles.

[hmm sure hope this doesn't foreshadow anything to come in the future.]

Considering all we've been through today... I struggle to think of anything that would strain belief anymore.

[suplexer]

[ Mock battles? Competitions? It all sounds harmless enough, though Tifa can't help but find it strange that it's based around actual conflicts that unfolded in the nation's past. Huh... ]

If that's the case, you'd think me and Rose would be in the same class...

[ This is more muttered to herself than said to Azure, though.

At his comment, she lets out a strained laugh. ] I wonder... but if you're really that curious, I can try.

[Hm... this seems like a rather difficult subject. Maybe he should let her decompress a bit first, before asking her to bare her heart to him. also so toni can consolidate her threads]

Perhaps the tale can wait until we've found some shelter, and you've had a moment to rest. I wouldn't want to tax you so soon after such a terrible experience.

[suplexer]

[ And yet, she feels strange being called out like this, even though she suspects he's only trying to be nice. ]

Oh, um! It's not that it's taxing, more just that I need to figure out how to explain everything to someone who isn't from Gaia, you know?

[ They've made it out of the gym, at least. Now there's hallways! With lots of doors to explore. ]

Maybe you're right, though... we might want to wait until we've found a good place to rest.
