Dorm description: This dorm room appears rather simplistic, yet it is still appealing to the eye. The walls are painted a pale shade of blue with a lighter shade splattered onto it. The wooden floorboards have a single rug draped over them, placed between the two beds. There were the necessities of course; a bed, a bedside table and lamp, a dresser, a desk, and shelves for each side. The furnishings were dressed and painted to match the room. If it wasn't for the main door, the door to the bathroom, and the windows, the room would appear as though there was a mirror for a wall: identical save for the belongings of its resident(s).

The Story So Far

On a cool breezy summer Sunday, the Garden remains still, without movement. The sun begins to rise as dawn breaks and the birds sing their glorious song. Inside the Garden rest it's residents: Instructors, SeeD's, Garden Masters, Candidates; all of them. The only noise to be heard within is the trickling of the brilliant fountain.
Soon enough, the time reached 7 a.m. as the cleaners began to sweep and the chefs began to cook. Another day at Balamb Garden had just begun...

the peaceful silence in dorm 107 was desturbed by the annoying beeping of Instructor Evan's alarm clock,
"seven o'clock already *sigh* feels like i only got to sleep an hour ago"
the instructor slowly rose to his Feet, turned on his Sterio, and walked throught to the bathroom for a shower and to brush his Teeth.
*20 mins pass*
walkin out of the bathroom, he slowly walked over and stood out on the balcony looking down on the peaceful balamb garden courtyard he pondered what the day would hold in store for him
"i must go to the training area sometime today" he thinks to himself
 
waking up late as usual Damon rose and had a rushed shower and dressed in a rather rough fashion and thought "I wonder if I will ever be able to get an alarm..."

Damon: ah well, may as well get some 'excercise'

Damon then headed for the training area to battle some grats
 
Fifteen minutes after a janitor passed the door to dorm 186, rock music blared from within the walls of that dorm. It took about five minutes, but it was soon turned down and its inhabitant was rushing around the room, quickly performing her usual routine and bustling about.

"Oh gawd, where is that uniform? It's still in the laundry, isn't it? Shit, I'm going to be late again!"

The young woman inside had ducked back into the bathroom to see if the laundry had already been taken out. Which, much to her dismay, had already occurred yesterday morning. The song ended and the radio announcer came back on, rather cheerful for this time of day.

"Good morning to you all! It's seven thirty-six and I hope you're enjoying this easy breezy Sunday morning. Today's weather is going to be seventy-two degrees and fair with light winds and low humidity-"
"It's a Sunday? Thank gawd," the woman sighed in relief, breathing much easier now. "...well, I'm up. I might as well go see what's for breakfast," she said to herself as she turned off the radio alarm.

Luana Nightingale walked out of her dorm room with a simple cloth pack slung over one shoulder and her halberd resting on the other. It looked like several other students were already up and hoping to be the first ones in line for breakfast. Luana wasn't in much of a hurry. She walked at a casual pace with a hand in her pocket and whistling the rock song that was stuck in her head.

Once she reached the cafeteria, she found the line fairly long already. Luana may have been hungry, but she certainly wasn't hungry enough to stand in line for as long as the other students were. She just gave a shrug and headed over to one of the tables near the middle of the cafeteria. Her halberd leaned into one of the chairs and her pack as slung onto the back of another chair. Luana reached into one of the pouches and pulled out a slender pack of cards, sitting down in the chair and sorting them out. They looked like Triple Triad cards. As she waited for the line to thin, Luana just sat there and sorted through her cards, picking out her favorite five to use in a game.
 
*puts on a pair of jeans and a plain white T-shirt*
Walking to the elevator he is intercepted by one of his new students.

Student:"instructor can i talk to you please"

Evan:"make it quick, i'm kinda in a hurry"

Student:"oh okay then. i have my Seed Exam cumming up and i dont think i am strong enougt to pass it could u possibly take me to the training area and help me train against some grats or maybe even a t-rexaur. please."
looking at the Student Instructor Evan laffed

Evan"im sorry but i dont have time to babysit im to busy today with my own agenda's"

Student:"okay then sir thanks anyway"

getting off the elavator he walks towards the cafateria but is interupted when he is challenged to a game of Triple triad by one of the Seed members, using a combination of his Cerberus, carbuncle, Diablo, Doomtrain and instructor Evan cards he makes easy work of the student and is happy to take possetion of the mog card the student used

student who lost:"damn your an amazing player sir"

Evan:"thank you, so will you be if you train enought"
 
JIMMY

Jimmy heard the voice in the headphones and quickly got up...

Jimmy:"Ahhh a brand new day with brand new possibilities!!!!! Yo Enigma get the hell up!!!!!"

Jimmy did some push ups and then went to the bathroom and started posing in front of the mirror as usual.
 
Starting with the front line he started walking through hacking all the grats along the way when a T-rexaur came along

Damon: oh shit.....ah well, this could be fun!

*T-rexaur charges at Damon*

Damon: ha! think your good eh?

Damon charges with his blades and cuts the legs off the T-rexaur

Damon: now die!

Damon cuts off the T-rexaur's head

Damon: oh I am violent haha!

Damon then gets stopped by an instructor

Instructor: you are late for your SEED instructions!

Damon: what? they have a mission now? bout damn time!

Instructor: silence! if you have complaints tell your corresponding instructor!

Damon: whatever.....

Damon then proceeds to the second floor and proceeds to class

Damon: sorry I am late!

Everyone glares as Damon enters and takes his seat

Instructor: as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, your mission is simple, you have the job of clearing up after the winhill defenses, and for our late arrival, the winhill inhabitants have been badly damaged by monster attacks and we have been asked to take out any and all monsters in the surrounding area, is that clear?

Class: sir!

Instructor: well, you have an hour to get changed into your school uniform and be assembled at the front gate
 
Rudely awoken from his deep sleep, Enigma glared at Jimmy. Being awake for the duration of 10 seconds meant that he couldn't focus on Jimmy enough to throw something at him.

"God dammit, dude. It's...."
*Checks watch*
"7.30! 7.30 in the morning! 7.30, in the morning; on a Sunday!"

With an almighty sigh, Enigma rolled out of bed and onto the surprisingly warm dormitory floor. A quick spray of deoderant left the air misty, but kept him fresh.

"Hurry up in there Jimmy, I need a wash."
"Hmph, fat chance." Enigma thought to himself.

Jimmy was constantly in the bathroom, checking himself out. Making sure he looked as good as he felt. For some reason, today, Enigma's tolerance was running low.

"Dude, forget it! I'll see you in the cafeteria for breakfast"

Slamming the door unintentionally on his way out, Enigma set course for the cafeteria which was no doubt buzzing by now; even at 7.40 in the morning those famous hotdogs could attract a crowd.
His footsteps echoed around the glorious halls of Balamb Garden, bouncing off the walls and dissapearing into the air. This place was luxury.
The faint aroma of warm bread filled Enigma's lungs as he neared the cafeteria; his stomach grumbled.

"Easy boy! We're almost there!"

Enigma's pace slowed up significantly to reach his supply of food, but just as predicted; the crowds had already formed. Even Luana and Evan were there. Neither of them were renound for their ability to walk before the hours of 9, yet today was an exception; strange.
Enigma cooly waved in Luana's direction. No luck. Those Triple Triad cards had her mesmerized. Bless.

Luana caught the wave from the corner of her eye and gave a small smile. Barely moving her head, she scanned the line to see who had given her the greeting gesture and spotted a brown-haired young man in fitted, black clothes. And what a cute butt he had! It must've been that Enigma person who frequents the cafeteria.

She turned her head towards him, flipping her brown locks out of her face and resting her creamy-blue eyes upon him. Her rosy, gloss-covered lips touched the tips of her fingers, blowing a kiss towards him. With a coy smile and an elbow up on her Caterchipillar card, she rested her chin on the back of her fingers, raising her brow suggestively for a few moments before going back to sorting her cards.

Flirtatious? Of course! There was a gaggle of girls further ahead of Enigma who spotted Luana, giggling and whispering just how much of a tease Luana is. Not that she minded, of course. She knew it was true.
 
Matching the flirtatiousness, Enigma sent a quick wink back to Luana and gave a cheeky smirk. It was all harmless fun.
Without noticing, the crowd had depleated, leaving Enigma at the front of the line.

"Phew! I'm starving!"

Even though Enigma was a bit of fitness entusiast, even he had his weak moments; and hotdogs at 8 a.m is a pretty big weak point.
Practically vaulting over the counter, he grabbed the hotdog from the lunchlady's hand and dug in. Heaven in a bun.

Instead of leaving the cafeteria, he decided to take a seat next to Luana. On his way towards her, he gave Evan a friendly little slap across the back of his head. They had been good friends for years now and were always ripping it out of each other.

"Evan, what are doing here with us commoners?"

With another cheeky wink, Enigma walked away and pulled out the seat next to Luana. Leaning his elbows on the table and cupping his head in his hands, Enigma looked at Luana in her beautiful eyes.

"Oh Luana, when are we going to get it over with? Why are you so afraid of loving me?"

They burst out with laughter. Keeping a straight face was no easy task through a speech like that! Running his hand through his hair, trying to maintain it's style, Enigma picked up a triple triad card and started throwing it in the air; being boysterous as usual.
The sun had started to seep into the cafeteria, directly into Enigma's icy blue eyes.

"Wherever I go the sun always shines in my eyes, dammit!"

By this point, Luana had stolen the card back from Enigma and added it to her deck. She was very possesive over her cards.
Two minute's passed, and a strange melancholy overcame Enigma; his hotdog was gone.

JIMMY:

After about half an hour of posing in front of the mirror Jimmy noticed Enigma was not in the room anymore...

Jimmy:"Alright..."

Jimmy locked the door of the room and started watching a vintage porn film (Jimmy loved classic movies).

Jimmy then got up and took a quick shower, he then posed in front of the mirror for another 5 minutes, dressed his SeeD uniform and placed his triple triad cards in a pocket. Jimmy was a good player of Triple Triad and he was a member of the Card Club his position was Spade at the moment but he knew he would eventually become King.
He took a look at his Zell and Cerberus card and then left the room.

It was a bright sunny day...Jimmy went to the cafeteria but since he took such a long time there was almost no food left.

Jimmy:"Ahhh man...is there something i can eat?"

Cafeteria Lady:"You remind me of my son...he always was the last in line, i always told him to be faster but he never was and look at him now working as a writter in the Timber newspaper boy things sure do take a turn..."

The Cafeteria lady kept talking for a long time until Jimmy decided to interrupt her...

Jimmy:"So...can i eat now?"

Cafeteria Lady:"Ohhh i got lost in time again...you are lucky indeed it seems nobody wanted to try my new new pumpkin cream porage so you can be the first to taste it!!!!"

Jimmy:"Ahhh...yeah thank you mam (sarcastic)"




 
evan walks over gets a hotdog and walks out, on his long boring walk to the traning area he walks past a group of girls

Girl 1: "hey look thats the new instructor"
Girl 2: "no way he only looks like 16 or something"
Girl 3: "yea i know but there is a rumour going around that he is a master swordsman and an amazing summoner"
Girl 4: "Yea and he is really cute."
Girl 2: "i also heard that he had already tamed the demon king Diablo, and the Triple headed dog Cerberus"
Girl 4: "i dont believe you, im goin to ask him"

the fourth girl ran over to Evan
Girl 4: "excuse me instructor is it true that you have already tamed the demon king Diablo, and the Triple headed dog Cerberus"

Evan: "well i have just arrived at this garden and i am going to show a demonstration of my abilities at midday so come to the training area at 12:00 and you will See what power i have "
Girl 4: "okay instructor i'll be there"
Evan: "and tell your friends there welcome at the demonstration aswell"
Girl 4: "okay i will"

the girl ran back to her friends while evan decided to visit Head master Cid to tell him of the show

{Leila is walking around the garden, bringing in the sights, trying to remember each and every detail, when she walks right into someone}

Person~Watch where your going!
Leila~I'm sorry
Person~(pushes Leila out of the way, pushing her down in the process, ignoring what she had just said)
Leila~ (gets up and looks at the person and says to herself) Well, i tried to be nice to him, and what do i get for it? Being pushed down thats what i get for it!
 
Entering his room, Damon quickly got dressed and cleaned the blood from his swords and gave them a quick polish over and readied himself for his SEED exam with a quick dash through the training area when he almost knocked over another instructor

Instructor: watch where you are going!

Damon: damn, is this instructor bashing day? how many more are going to cross my path?
 
Sillence is in the dorm.

Suddently. Al awoke to a high pitch bird screech.

"WHOA!!" He screamed out to himself, looked around
"don't do that" He said somewhat annoyed at Howl.
She only replied with a look towards the window. a signal on that she wanted out.

*YAWN* "now.. lets see here." he said as he took away the blinders infront of the window. only to be met but a blinding ray of sun.
"GAH!!... I take it it is a sunny day then" He said as he let Howl outside.
*looks at the time* "fuuuuck.. there is no way that there is anything good left in the cafeteria" He put on black pants, and a black T-shirt. and whent towards the cafeteria.

As he got there. he saw another person there. he overheard him and the cafeteria lady speak:
----
This is Jimmy he is seeing.
--
Cafeteria Lady:"Ohhh i got lost in time again...you are lucky indeed it seems nobody wanted to try my new new pumpkin cream porage so you can be the first to taste it!!!!"

Person:"Ahhh...yeah thank you mam (sarcastic)"
----

"aww.. im too late... again.. I should really set my clock to wake me." he thought to himself, as he turned away, fearing the reason to WHY no one has tried her porage.

"I cant help thinking Howl knew this. perhaps this is why she whent out for food" He thought, as he started walking
----------------
Currrently. exiting the cafeteria.
Howl, out and getting brekfast

Cole laid in bed staring up at the ceiling. His alarm went off an hour ago, but that did not matter he was awake before it did. He had been so used to getting up early.
'It's good to be back at home,' he thought to himself.
He had just gotten back from a mission the night before. He had played bodyguard for some VIP in Timber.
'Well I better not waist the whole day away in here.'
Cole got up out of bed and jumped in the shower. The water was much nicer in the garden compared to other places that he traveled to. When got out he quickly dressed himself and headed down to the cafeteria, his saber strapped to his die.

When he got there the lady at the counter called out to him, "Ah Cole, I see that you are back!"

"Yeah, I got back last night," he responded with a big smile. "Is there any of my favorite left?"

As she handed him a bowl of porage she said, "It's actually a new flavor.Pumkin Cream, but not that many people are eating it."

"Well just to tell you, I like that flavor, and if you need to get rid of it, just tell me and I'll have a few more bowls."

"Alright," she said with a laugh. "Have a good day Cole."

"I always do."

He took his bowl and sat down at an empty table. The cafeteria was empty for the most part with a few people here and there. He did notice at one table two students talking. the female student was shuffling through a stack of cards. He laughed to himself. Those things were everywhere.
Cole then turned back to his bowl and began to eat. It was good to be back at the Garden.
 
JIMMY:

Jimmy slowly finished his pumpkin porage and had to work hard to fully digest it.

Jimmy:"I think...it had to much pumpkin in it...ahhhhhh"

Jimmy slowly got up and went to the table where Enigma and Luna were seatting...

Jimmy:"So how are the love birds doing this fine morning?"

Unfortunately Jimmy spoke just a bit too loud and as usual some girls started whispering.

Enigma looked angry so Jimmy decided it was better to walk off thinking that he just might have talked a bit too much.

Jimmy:"Well...ahh...i guess i will have another bowl of that pumpkin porage then."

Jimmy slowly walked away with both Luna and Enigma remaining quiet...
 
"Lovebirds? And what would you know of love, Jimmy?" Luana asked, holding up a couple cards of the famous Squall and Rinoa between her index and middle fingers. "With someone of your dull wit, love scatters away from your mere presence."

Realizing that by then, he had walked away, Luana chuckled to herself and set her cards back onto her deck. She rested her chin in the heel of her palm as she gazed across the table into the eyes of Enigma. At least he was brave and smart enough to play along with her antics.

"...besides...even if we were an item, there's no private place to neck around here," she said bluntly with a smirk on her face. "Too many instructors around."

Jimmy heard Luna say something but he thought she was probably talking about his good looks...

Jimmy:"I sure am a sexy beast!"

Cafeteria Lady:"Hey sexy how about another bowl of my pumpkin porage?"

Jimmy:"Ahhh...n..no thanks mam i...have to ahh go run around the Garden but...thanks anyway mam bye!!!!!"

Jimmy started running out of the cafeteria.




 
Enigma gave a nod of agreement and a playful smile, "Damn this Garden's lack of concealed corners!" He said, tapping the table with his fist. Luana was great. Virtually every day, herself and Enigma would talk and hang out; she was his sanity.

Around the room sat a couple of SeeD's, being forced to eat this new breed of gruel, cleverly named 'pumpkin porridge'. It was strange. Not often would you come across more than two SeeD's in a room, today must have just been an exception.
The time had now passed 9a.m, an ideal time for a run. "Sorry Luana, I'm going to have to take off. If I don't go for my morning run no one else is going to do it for me!"

Immediately he began to jog on the spot, slowly weaving his way around the cluttered tables and chairs; covered in hotdog debris. Accidently of course, Enigma clattered into Jimmy's arm, "Come on dude, keep up!"

Doing laps around the Garden was a routine for Enigma. It set the day up nicely and made him feel in prime condition for whatever may arise. However, his mind did tend to wander...

*I swear I saw Cole in the cafeteria...Where the hell has he been?*
*Man Luana's cute, she'd kill me if i so much as leant on her cards though*

"Jimmy man, It's been a while since us SeeD's have had anything to do...What do you think the Garden Masters are doing up there? Do they do anything?!"
