Announcement

[Amaya Kudo]

Amaya Kudo was there, bright and early, standing in the center of the Quad. She wasn't surprised, as she stood there alone, to find that no students were up and about. The only ones she would see awake at this time were probably the ones she was forcing down here. If they were lucky, they would have gotten about three hours sleep. Kudo clocked the fact that she'd broken the party up at around two thirty in the morning.

For this she'd brought a watch. Kudo wasn't one to ever wear one, but in her hand was a kind of pocket watch she appeared to be staring intently at. Amaya was watching the seconds tick down to those little numbers. She would flick a glance up momentarily to see if anyone was coming before turning her attention right back to the time.

5:55am.

They'd better get moving.

[Ken Namiashi]

Amaya had a power over Ken. Well, to be honest, she probably had it over everyone. She was a pretty scary lady, and Ken was smart enough never to get on her bad side. However, last night was a different story. He'd been watching the party from the secret video feed he got in the teacher's lounge, and when he saw Amaya on her way their, he had to do something to protect the kids! So he lied, sent her a quick message saying he needed to show her something.

When she got to the teacher's lounge, Ken had accidentally left the video feed on the television, but he had expertly hid down behind the couch so she wouldn't see him.

Well, apparently she had.

Since he'd tried to distract her for the students, she came and found him after breaking up the party to tell him of her punishment for those students, as well as Mai and, apparently, himself. Not one to leave himself for another one of Amaya's punishments, Ken made his way to the quad, looking as stunning as ever in his dark slacks and silk shirt. All black was the look for him, today.

He raised a hand to the woman in a form of a wave, before moving it to cover his mouth as he yawned. "Morning Amaya-chan..." Ken said drowsily, trying to pull himself together; a pill slipped into his mouth, "Can I ask how this is fair? I didn't really do anything wrong..."

[Amaya Kudo]

Imagine Amaya's surprise when she saw the borderline narcoleptic Mathmatics teacher approaching. His footsteps were slow and his feet were dragging, but at least he was here. Still, she hardly expected him to be first, let alone actually show up. Amaya had expected one of his adoring fans with a note attached to her hand reading something like; Sleeping, come back later!

"Morning Amaya-chan..."

But here he was, standing before her, obviously tired and clearly ready to hand her reason after reason as to why he didn't have to be there. Amaya just stared at him coldly.

"Can I ask how this is fair? I didn't really do anything wrong..."

Her eyes narrowed into a piercing glare. There was one. She thought to do her best to ignore it, but that wouldn't get her anywhere. At least it was too early in the morning for him to try and be witty or clever in his remarks. "You know what you did." She said quickly, before choosing to elaborate, "Pulling me from that door was your first mistake. The second was not having something set up to keep me distracted."

[Yoshika]

Karisuta groaned loudly as she made her way into the quad, none of the other students were here yet. She pulled out her Aeon and looked at the time. They didn't have much time left. Her head was throbbing and the sun was a bit bright.... but aside from some muscle stiffness and that she was relatively okay. Her tail was hanging limply behind her as she approached the two teachers, a pair of worn out jeans and a plain, red t-shirt stretched across her torso. Her bare feet thudded softly on the paved areas as she approached the two humans.

"Good morning Ms Kudo, Mr Namiashi." the wolf said in a sullen tone, her ears low against the sides of her head. Normally a run wouldn't intimidate the wolf, but she wasn't really looking forward to it. She thought she might have aggravated the old wound in her left leg. "Am I the only one here?" That didn't seem fair to the wolf, she wasn't the most drunk, nor was she the only one who had apparently broken rules. Her green eyes closed and she rubbed them with the back of her hand, rubbing the last bits of sleep from them.

[Ken Namiashi]

"You know what you did."

Ken only grumbled at the woman. She could be so cold. He was only trying to have fun, maybe protect the students a little. Did she always have to be so cruel? God damn, she could use a beer or two and a night at the Jade Fox. Oh wait...

"Pulling me from that door was your first mistake. The second was not having something set up to keep me distracted."

Was she trying to joke with him? He didn't really understand, but what he could get was Kudo was still raging from the night before. Then he wondered something; how was she acting so calm when she'd had just about as much sleep as the rest of them, if not less? Amaya had to be a machine. It had to be something like that. Ken yawned, breaking himself from his own thoughts. A witty line! "I apologise, 'Maya-chan. Perhaps next time it's the two of us in the teacher's lounge alone I can think of something more appropriate to keep your attention." He winked, giving the woman a wide smile.

"Good morning Ms Kudo, Mr Namiashi."

A student! But Ken had used all his energy on that line. He slumped over slightly, finding it difficult to stand.

"Am I the only one here?"

"So far you are." He said, falling to sit on the ground. Just for a few minutes.

[Amaya Kudo]

"I apologise, 'Maya-chan. Perhaps next time it's the two of us in the teacher's lounge alone I can think of something more appropriate to keep your attention."

And here Amaya thought she was going to get away from this conversation without having to hear anything like that. False hope. At any rate, she did her best to ignore it. He was only doing it to annoy her, and damn him, he was. But as a student arrived, Amaya quickly glanced at the time. Not long until their minutes would be up. They'd better all be there by the time it became 6am. God help them if they didn't. Amaya looked to the student in question.

"Good morning Ms Kudo, Mr Namiashi."

Kudo gave no reply as Ken had. She simply turned her glare to the girl, watching as her ears drooped low. The tone in her voice made everything clear; she felt intimidated? It wasn't new if that were true; most people felt that way about Amaya.

"Am I the only one here?"

Once more, Ken answered. Amaya glanced to her watch again. They had three minutes left, and no one was in sight. Would they really want to waste what little energy they had by having to run to the Quad? That would be the least of their concerns, just wait until they'd learn what Amaya had in store for them. "Feeling better, Takahashi-chan?" She asked, almost curiously. Amaya had walked in just as she threw up on Amber and Darrien, after all.

[Mazohyst]

Ugh, a morning run? That was the most horribad and terribad thing ever. Kazuo literally had to force himself out of bed. The guy is definitely not a morning person, having struggled to push himself out of his room. Even worse, he had to wake up with the assistance of an alarm clocks and if you've been keeping up with Kazuo you'd know that he totally hates those cursed contraptions. In his irritated and half-awake state he believed alarms served no purpose other than to annoy and irritate. Had he not been tired he would be fuming and raging.

Still, he had no other choice but to accept his punishment. He did what he did and the party was totally worth it, or so he still believed. It was a truly epic night, although a blurry-fuckin' haze nevertheless. Kazuo had totally enjoyed himself, of course minus that brief raging bout of jealousy but all in all, totally worth it. That wouldn't mean he'd enjoy the morning run though...

No, no, no. You see, Kazuo's not exactly the most active guy. He's not a pasty-faced lardo by any means, but the guy's smokes a gratuitous amount and spends most of his time relaxing, living at his own pace.

At any rate, he grudgingly threw on some basketball shorts and a shirt despite the morning weather, figuring that he'd be dying from heat after the run. Kazuo bitterly made his way to the quad. He stood near Ken, trying to avoid Manga High School's battle-axe of a English teacher. He stretched his arms out, feeling a bit sore from diving out of Dev's window.

"Dear loooooord," He muttered, yawning. He rubbed his slightly baggy eyes then spoke aloud. "Yo, morning." He greeted everyone.
-----
"MORNING!" A voice booms throughout the quad, as if he didn't realize most people were asleep at this hour and truly enough, the man was wide awake. Ousen jogged over towards his fellow teachers and the students who were already there with a wide grin. Rare was the occasion that people were out and about at this hour, especially in a group. He scratched his head at slight confusion over this - what exactly was going on. The silver-haired man was determined to find out!

"Joining me for a morning jog?!" He says enthusiastically. "Hardly ever get work-out buddies! This is the start of a good day!" Ousen didn't even stay still while speaking, rather he was already active, jogging in place and punching the air. It was obvious the man had a lot of energy, how he did so in the morning was beyond most, especially the brown-haired Kazuo who merely observed him with a look a disbelief. "I'm glad more people are deciding to work-out more often, that's quite EXTREME!"

[Sora12]

"Not cool, crazy lady. Not cool." Darrien moaned as he approached Kudo-sensei and Ken. He hadn't slept, he didn't even lay down when he got back to his room. First thing he did was strip all of his vomit soaked clothes off and toss them into box. Then he tossed the box from the window of his room. Then he lit a playing card on fire with his lighter, and tossed it at the box, incinerating it in the air.

When he was closer, he saw the wolf girl. Why did she stand out in his mind from the party? It was Amber that had swiped Dev's plant, Rena had kissed Sapphire, but what was it about Kari that kindled a strange feeling in his stomach? Almost a nauseous feeling... Like he could throw up...

"You....." he said, covering his mouth as he coughed to loosen the flem from his throat, then spitting it out to the side. "That was one of my best jackets." His hung over voice was thick and froggy, so he sounded much more serious than he actually was.

Fanning a hand through his rainbow locks, he returned his gaze to Amaya. "You missed a helluva party love." Even feeling as awful as he did, he was still snarky as ever, wielding a confidence not of this world, even though Amaya would undoubtedly tear him a new one, and she wasn't the type to allow anesthesia.

While he spoke to Amaya, he heard a now, regretfully, familiar bellow.

"MORNING!"

"Sweet christ...."

"Joining me for a morning jog?!"

"God I hope not..."

"Hardly ever get work-out buddies! This is the start of a good day!"

"Personally, I disagree."

"I'm glad more people are deciding to work-out more often, that's quite EXTREME!"

"This needs to be over soon...."

Hung over was not a hat Darrien wore well. He was rarely grumpy, but Ousen was, albeit unintentionally, dragging it out of him.

[Ken Namiashi]

"MORNING!"

"Oooouuuseennn!!!" Ken whined as his co worker and super strength best friend arrived. He knew the man was an early riser, and he also knew that Ousen enjoyed a bucket load of running in the morning. How he knew was not important, considering Ken would never in his life be awake at this hour, he'd never thought to join the man on his morning run. Could he just do this in two seconds and leave?

"Joining me for a morning jog?! Hardly ever get work-out buddies! This is the start of a good day!"

Ken was lying on the ground now, with no real sign of getting up. His arms were resting under his head, working as a kind of pillow to make himself a little more comfortable, but it wasn't working all that well; the Quad didn't make for an appropriate bed. "I'm not really the jogging type..." He whined once again, trying to wave off his friend's comments.

"I'm glad more people are deciding to work-out more often, that's quite EXTREME!"

"Shut up, Ousen..." His voice was quiet now, barely a whisper. He was already drifting back to sleep.

[edwards on bebop]

Kazuo was so lucky to have Rena with him. She distinctly remembered setting up an alarm clock or two before passing out next to him. After about three hours of sleep (They had spent a bit of last night hiding in bushes then trying to stealthily wander back to his room), three different alarms went off at about 5:45am; two small alarm clocks on either side of the room, and his phone. Rena threw an arm over him quickly, reaching towards his phone. She flipped the phone open, rubbing her eyes in mild disbelief and severe tiredness as she saw the background.

"Oh, hey... That actually happened?" Then suddenly there was this feeling, like someone punched her in the freaking head like six freaking times. She dropped the phone, her hands reaching up to rub her temples furiously. "Kazzy, does it feel like your brain it's on fire too..." At least that way they could suffer together. Epic love and all that shit. Anyway, she left his room to change into clothes that she hadn't been wearing the night before.

She finally made it to the Quad with about a minute or two to spare. She managed to pull her appearance together nicely considering inside her was some kind of raging battle for which will hurt more, head head or her body. Kazuo wasn't the best catch, especially when drunk and high. Rena yawned as she made her way over to Kazuo so she could lean on him. Bitch was tired.

---

Eddie had a much different story. She was one of the students who didn't make it back to the Living Quarters, but in her drunken rage it had been her plan. It seemed that after jumping out Devlin's window and catching up with Kanami, their paranoia had taken over and they hatched an amazing plan to wait in the gardens.

One or both of them had been sure Kudo would be at the door of the living quarters waiting to catch them. It seemed like a great idea at the time, as the two of them climbed into some random shrubbery, making themselves as unseen as possible and no doubt ruining the plant in the process.

Then they passed out. Apparently.

Eddie had fallen back, her head kind of resting in her arms and apparently, on her phone. When the thing started going off in her ear, she woke with a jolt. The message wasn't important, but the fucking TIME was! She started violently pushing Kanami. "Bitch, get up! WE HAVE TO FUCKING MOVE!" She fell back into some shrubs they'd yet to destroyed, her head suddenly deciding to remind her why it was a bad thing to get super drunk.

But she pushed past that, and the two of them made some epic record dash towards the Quad, making it with less than a minute to spare. Unfortunately, that short burst of energy was all Eddie could muster. It was all she could do to keep herself from toppling backwards onto the ground.

[Dev]

There was a good reason Devlin didn't move from his chair. As soon as Kudo mentioned something about six AM, Devlin set his phone alarm to somewhere around 5:30, even though it would probably be more like 5:47 in his state at the time. He would rage about how the time on the alarm was completely stupid and probably rant internally about how anyone could set an alarm to anything not ending in a 5 or 0, but at the time he didn't really care. He was out like a trout in that chair and didn't even hear the last thing Kudo said.

And so his alarm went off at 5:47, drawing Devlin quite unwillingly out of the daze of sleep and back into his room. Looking down at his phone, he noticed he also left himself a note that said, "Quad, 6 AM>bich techair dmads et." It took him a second to decipher the text speak that he apparently wrote in before he realized what he had to do. He shot up out of the chair, regretting it immediately, and rubbed his eyes, slipping his phone back into his pocket. And then he saw his room.

Holy. Fucking. Shitballs. "Oh Jesus FUCKING Christ!" Obviously he was not happy about all the empty bottles. He was even less happy about the stains on the floor and the table that someone flipped over, probably in a drunken stupor. It seemed like his entire room was destroyed, and it hurt just turning his neck to look around. But among the disaster zone that was Devlin's room, he spotted a glimmer of hope. Sitting on the ground was a bowl, and it was filled with cookies. Cookies looked good. Looking around the cookies, he had to find something else. And then he spotted his window. "Oh sunofabitch..." It was destroyed, probably beyond repair. What happened to it? Did someone like, fall into it really hard or something? No... there was no blood around. But he would deal with that later.

Suddenly realizing what the message he left himself meant, he pulled his phone back out and looked at it again. Oh shit, he had only ten minutes to get down there! He slipped on a pair of tennis shoes that probably weren't made for running and left his room, his body and head aching all over. As soon as he stepped out into the hallway it seemed like headlights were shining in his eyes. "Ahh, God..." He fought through the pain and eventually managed to make his way to the quad, making sure to send Eddie a text message. Why he was sending at text message before six in the morning was beyond anyone, but he didn't really care.

There Kudo was, along with... Ken, who was lying on the ground, probably asleep. Man Devlin really envied him at that moment. He would give anything to go back to sleep. But then there was another teacher, one that seemed to enjoy yelling. Slipping his hands into his pockets, Devlin approached Darrien from behind and to the right. "Ahh man, loud noises," he whined, eyes nearly shut because of the little brightness there was. At least his room was completely dark.

[sugoisake]

"Bitch, get up! WE HAVE TO FUCKING MOVE!"

This is what Kanami had to wake up to, the dazed girl woke up in the state of head-pouncing confusion. But she moves, Eddie makes certain he got her ass up and both climbing out of the shrubbery. Why were they in garden anyways? Where the hell were they running to?

Ohh...that’s right.

Her head was pounding, the lack of decent sleep was evident in the way she walks, her feet felt as if they were encased in cement blocks but epic run was necessary. As they neared the Quad, the memories eventually returned between the headaches and the dryness. Kanami and Eddie hid out, paranoid that Kudo was certain to wait for them if they tried to return to the dorms, so she had to finish the joint and eventually passed out sometime.

So hard to forget that 6 am threat, wasn't it?

Still, Kanami didn’t regret the party, it had been the most fun up until Kudo burst in and killed the mood. She had a shitload of great pictures from it, but now it was to deal with this bullshit. Kanami stood next to Eddie, pulling up on her shoulder in case she falls from the intense epic run. Goddamn this headache, Kanami pressed a free hand to her own forehead.

“Kudo, can you just kill me now and get it overwith?” Kanami asks, prefering death than to do whatever she was going to make them do.

[belovedstranger]

Six in the morning was an hour that was meant for sleep. The party, and it's subsequent breakup (and god damn, she should have left earlier) had left her with just under 3 hours of sleep once the ringing in her ears (fucking Dev and his fucking surround sound) had stopped. Eddie hadn't come back, and Sapphire had seriously considered going out to look for her, but then realised, as drunk as she was, it was more likely to end in tradgedy.

This....

As her alarm went off (she had set one? Clever her), Sapphire managed to roll out of bed, yanking off her clothes from the night before and pulling on black leggings and a white shirt.

is so....

Stuffing her feet into trainers, Sapphire had sent a simple get up text to Eddie, then after pulling her hair back into a pony tail, she checked the time. 5:55. Oh fuuuuccckkk. Without the needed stimuli, Sapphire couldn't run at her top speed, but she managed to jog quickly to the quad. It felt like her brain was bouncing off the inside of her skull as she moved. Oh dear god, I wasn't even at the stupid party when Ice Queen rocked up.,

going...

At six on the dot, Sapphire burst into the Quad and then braced her hands on her knees, gasping. She arived just in time to hear Kanami's plea.

“Kudo, can you just kill me now and get it overwith?”

She would have added a ditto if she could get air into her lungs. The whole fox thing really did make her unused to having to rely on just her... normalness when she ran.

[Yoshika]

"Feeling better, Takahashi-chan?"

Coupled with the earlier glare caused the wolf to fidget and sit on the ground, rubbing her bare feet and keeping her eyes from meeting Kudo's. She didn't want to challenge a teacher, they were more advanced then she was.

"Somewhat..." she mumbled, rolling her thumbs over the balls of her feet to rub out the stiffness from jumping out that window. Prolly hadn't been the smartest idea. Her eye lifted to watch as the other students started to arrive, almost growling silently. They were all being punished, there was no use griping about it.

"How far are we going Ms. Kudo?" She hoped it wouldn't be obnoxiously far, she was sore still. She'd do it, but she wouldn't like it. Partying with humans was starting to prove more trouble then it's worth.

[Amaya Kudo]

Amaya ignored Ousen and did her best to do the same for Darrien. He had a way of getting on her nerves. Then again, most students who openly showed a lack of respect for their teachers, especially Kudo, could annoy her quite easily. She'd have to do something about that in the near future; she spent those moments musing to herself. What kind of detention could she throw together... Perhaps something borderline suicidal? No, they'd never let her cause any physical harm to him.

Ken was now passed out beside her. Kudo decided it would be best if she woke him up now before letting him sleep for very long. She took a few steps, spinning on a heel and kicking him swiftly. That ought to do it.

On another note, Amaya was slightly, well, glad that all the students were arriving. Most were cases of 'in the nick of time', but at least they were here. However, she quickly noticed that as the crowd drew together, two people in particular were missing. "All your questions will be answered once everyone is here." She looked to Ken quickly. "Namiashi, did you see Mai this morning?" Kudo asked, dropping the appropriate suffixes in her mild anger. She didn't feel like chasing her up, she also didn't feel like doing the same for Amber.

Both were easy to locate however; Amaya retrieved her Aeon.
