"Well what can I say, its in my nature i guess,"

He said and then stood up as well.

"Best get going as well, it was nice to meet you Nia," he said to her.

Kryst quietly made her way down to the main lobby. She stopped in mid step noticing several pieces of paper scattered about on the floor and on a table. Her head tilted to the left a bit as she tried to read the print. Her eyes squinted at the paper, and to no avail, she wasn't able to read it from where she was standing. Kryst knelt down and picked up the flier with her right hand. She remained in a squat as she read.

"A ball? I just got here a few days ago..." Her lips puckered into a slight pout when she glanced up at the academy entrace doors. "My things should be arriving by now.."

Kryst folded the paper and tried to bury it into a shallow pocket in her uniform jacket.

"Pfft..dates. Ridiculous."

Her eyes shifted over to the doors again waiting for a familiar black car to roll up. She sighed and leaned against the frame of the hallway leading to the academy entrance.

Entering the crowded room, Faina was a little confused. Shinu was breaking Nioelle in half, and people were matching up all over the place. Was it Valentine's Day already? No, impossible. It was nowhere near February...

She picked up one of the fliers and sighed unhappily. A ball? Really? It was like someone running this place hated her. She loved big gatherings, but there was no way she could go. She hadn't even helped out on the mission. Dejected as could be, she started toward the exit.

While Kira was sitting down reading the flier for the tenth time he noticed the girl that he had met in the monster range. She seemed down after she read the flier so he decided to go see what was wrong with her. He followed he out the exit and caught up to her in the corridors.

Hey there again. What's up? Seems like somethings got you down.

Faina jumped at the voice behind her, and when she turned and saw Kira, she smiled warmly at him.

Hi, Kira. I'm just pouting. She laughed a little. I saw the flier for the ball, and I thought about going but... Well, I didn't participate in the mission, I didn't even go, and it's a celebration about that, so I figured going would be like crashing. Besides, I don't think anyone would ask a loner like me.

Cyrus snuck in, sliding along the wall as if he thought no one saw him, then slipped on one of the flyers and fell

"Owowowowow.... Hey whats this?"

He picked up the flyer and read it, and, although his face was hidden, he seemed excited

"A dance, cool! I wonder who im supposed to dance with? o.o A date? Im supposed ot dance with some fruit? .....Awesome, i love dates!!! I hope i can eat them when im done dancing!"

He put the flyer into one of his pockets and walked, although the flyer flew out of a large hole in his pocket and caused him to trip again

"Owowowowow!"
