CENTIPEDE ARMY BARRACKS
Psyche wakes slowly, happy to see a still resting Tylo next to her. SO he'd made it through the night. Good. She doesn't wake up, knowing he probably has a lot of sleep to catch up on.
Tylo feels a slight rustle in the sheets and is enough to wake him. He slowly turns onto his back and gives a slight stretch.
Psyche sits up a little. "Did you sleep well?" She asks, worried now that maybe she just hadn't heard him wake up.
Tylo turns his head to face her and smiles. "Yeah ... but I've become quite accustomed to short naps through out the day. It feels ... strange."
Arnet wakes up slowly, and sits up. She glances over to Psyche's bunk, to see a interesting site... Tylo just waking up on Psyche's bunk, with Psyche sitting up and looking around.
Psyche smiles. "Good." She says. "It's still early if you want to sleep a little more. "I'm just usually up early." She rubs her eyes and then yesterday's events hit her again and she frowns a little.
Tylo looks up to what appeared to be a disgruntled look, but Tylo is still tired. "Hmmm, Kembal?"
The form of Morrigan hasn't moved since she arrived the previous nite, dripping and smelling of chlorine from the pool. She hadn't gone to the showers with the others. Insted, the girl was curled up near the top of her bunk, as small as she could. Her head and shoulders rested against the pillow, eyes closed. She could care less who else is choosing whomever else for bed-partners. She didn't want to get up and no one was going to make her.
Psyche nods. "Part of it..." She says. "Don't wanna talk about it." She stands up and moves her head to the side, cracking her neck. "I'll be back, going to the bathroom."
Arnet gets up off her bunk and begins to streach. "Oh man, hey does anyone have the slightest idea, what time it is?" She sits back down on her bunk and rubs her eyes, trying to rub the sleep from them.
Artimeul rolls onto his back in his sleep. A pillow in the face seems to be his future with the obnoxious snores coming from his mouth. His mouth hangs open with a bit of drool trailing out of his mouth. A naked leg sticks out of his blanket and dangles off the side of the bunk.
Arnet looks over at Artumeul, whose snoring has disturbed her. "Hey Arti... stop making so much noise, it is early." She laughs and falls back onto her bunk on top of the twisted bed sheets. "Meh, i dont really want to do anything today, how 'bout you guys?"
Psyche returns from the bathroom, feeling a little better. She sits on her bunk, noticing Tylo had gone back to his own and unbraids her hair, grabbing a brush to brush it out. God it was getting long now. It hung down to her waist almost...
Tylo yawns and sits up. Maybe they would say something about yesterdays battle. The system should be updated. Tylo opens his desk and logs on. As he types away he answers Arnet in a stale voice. "Not o' thing. Maybe inquire about the new commander a bit but yeah." He then notices Psyche's arrival. "Good morning Sir." And offers a side-ways salute.
Normally Morrigan would have given quite a reaction to Arnet's comment, but today she doesn't. It is stored in her mind somewhere, perhaps in that little place that will make sure if the girl is ever in her toon that she never gets second, or if she ever commands that the girl will never rise above soldier. But that's Morrigan's mindset. She simply pulls her blanket over her head, drowning out the sound of the obnoxious boy's snoring.
Psyche returns the salute. "Morning soldier. SLeep well?" She asks, then flips her head upside down to brush more. Whoa...dizzy....
Completely unlike Morrigan, Kailea rolls over on her bunk, peering over at Arnet with those baby blue eyes, offering a characteristic smirk. She's already quite ready for the day, her hair done, her uniform on.. showered, clean, working on homework. There's Kailea. Slacker through and through except when nobody's looking. "I never want to do anything any day, but that's not really an option. Which is why I get up early.. so I can do nothing for a little while every day. It's nice." That.. and she likes to get ahead of everyone else.
Arnet sits up again and stands, then makes her way up to the front of the barracks, then exits, heading for the bathroom. "Hey, i be back in a bit, see ya guys."
Tylo looks away from the desk at Psyche and says, "Good sir. And yourself?" He then waits for the answer while skimming through old mail and score board recordings.
Artimeul lets out a loud snort and opens his eyes slowly. .o0(What time is it...So tired...) He sits up slowly and stares blankly at the bunk across from him. His hair is a tangled mess covering his face and nose. He yawns loudly and leans over to go back to sleep but misses his bunk and falls to the floor instead. He gruts slighly and falls back asleep...on the floor.
There was a quiet sigh given from Morrigan. Kembal had worked so hard to make this army what it was, and the minute he left everyone was content to simply let it become nothing again. Maybe she'd put in a request for a transfer again... It wasn't Kembal's army anymore anyways. They didn't need her, and it would only become a conflict between her and the rest of this army who seemed content in their ways. Tossing her blanket asside, Morrigan hops down from her bunk, still nude, taking a uniform with... and then walks out of the barracks.
Psyche sits back up and parts her hair, deciding on two braids today. "Very well thank you." She smiles a little and looks over at Morrigan, pondering if she should broach the subject of geting Tylo into her toon before or after their new commander came. Then she sees her leave. Interesting.
That smirk grows as Morrigan leaves, brightening Kailea's face considerably. The child star turns to Psyche thing, offering a lackadaisical shrug with a nod in the TL of A's direction before sliding off her bunk and padding silently over to Artimeul, asleep at her feet. "Psyche, come help me get this kid back up on his bunk, neh?"
Psyche stands up, only half her hair braided. She walks over to the bunk and looks at the sleeping boy. "Why don't we just pull him out of it instead. I think it'd be more amusing..." She shrugs. They should all be getting up soon anyway.
Tylo doesn't turn from his desk as he types away. He has the look of someone searching for something that they don't know exists. "Does anyone know if you can access everyone elses in battle proficiency ... ah nevermind I see it. Okay ..."
Kailea grins wryly at Psyche, crossing her arms under her chest and putting all her weight on one hip as she considers her options. "If we had some kind of container, we could throw water on him.. or.." What was it that Fiona and Chavez did to Vessa when she first got into Phoenix? Oh, that's right. "We could drag him into the showers and turn on all the cold water..."
Psyche smiles mischeviously and pulls the loose side of her hair into a ponytail. "Let's do it." She says with a smile. She's actually somewhat impressed that Kailea's talking to her. Normally the older girl ignores her.
Aww, now, let's be fair. Kailea ignores pretty much everyone. It's just her way. Straddling the boy's head, she rolls up her sleeves and reaches down to wrap her arms around his wrists, hefting him up. "Get the South, would you?"
Tylo turns to look at the two TL's and the sad excuse of a drooling snoring boy on the floor. "Want some help?" He offers a salute one with each hand to both TL's in a joking fashion.
Psyche nods to Tylo. "Yeah, you take one of his legs." She says, taking hold of one of the legs. "Okay..."
Tylo snaps his desk shut and slides it under his pillow. He laeps from the bed and hoists up one of Artimeul's legs.
Arnet is enjoying the funny sence that is taking place. The other soldiers attempting to get Artimeul up off the floor. "You know, yhou could just leave him there, and let him sleep, but then, that wouldnt be as funny as you guys trying to get him up."
"Ready and.. GO!" With another heave, Kailea jerks Artimeul up the rest of the way, her lips pressing together from the weight. She's not exactly the biggest kid around. "That's it.. ten laps for this kid everyday.." And she starts toward the door.
Psyche pulls hard. "Okay...this isn't working..." She calls over two members of her toon to help and then lift once more, managing to lift the kid up somewhat.
LAUNCHIE BATHROOMS
Stumbling backwards the whole day into the bathroom, Kailea finally manages to make her way with the kid, Psyche, Tylo, and the two anonymous toonies into the showers, where she gladly lowers herself to drop Artimeul a few more inches to the ground - but it's gentle. Kinda. "Okay. Psyche, you take that half of the faucets," a point toward one half of the room, "and I'll take the rest. Tylo, you make sure he's in far enough to get good and wet. Make sure you start at the back so we don't get wet, too, though." And then she moves deeper into the showers, working the handles to get the water as cold as it can go.
Psyche looks to her other toonmates. "Leave so you don't get in trouble." She says. Then she goes and turns on the water on the other side of the showers. This...was way too fun...
Tylo eyes the victim. "A little more to the left and a cubit in and he'll get the whole effect. If we were on Earth we could run the faucets for an extra boost ... hmmm."
Arnet watches the other soldiers pull Artimeul under the faucets {oh man, this is gonna be great}. "Man he is gonna be mad
Artimeul feels the cold water hit and his body jumps up and a loud girly scream errupts from his mouth. He jumps up from the ground and sort of...dances...underneath the shower heads while hugging himself and shivering. Poor boy...too tired to relize the smart thing would be to run -out- of the showers rather than run around -in- them.
Arnet looks down at Artimeul "You know, i really should rescue my toon mate, but i dont think that i will, i mean i technically should, but this looks fun" she sees Artimeul jump up from the shower and start dancing around in a circle. "Arti... jump out of the shower" she yells at her toon mate
Artimeul gets drenched by the freezing water before the faucets are all turned on.. two more, one more.. and then it's all over. Kailea has, of course, carefully positioned herself so that she hasn't gotten more than a drop on her from each faucet. "Wakey, wakey, boyo!" And the mischievous grin on her face is almost evil.
Psyche has gotten a little more wet than Kailea but not too wet. She stands back, cracking up. This was funny....very funny. SHe feels a little bad but still...
Tylo steps back and grins. He turns to Psyche and says. "Ya' know if I start sleeping like everyone else it might be me next." He lets out a slight chuckles as poor Artimeul squirms.
Arnet steps back and begins to giggle at the tortured Artimeul, "Um Arti.... maybe this is a clue to stop sleeping so hard mmm." She takes a step forward, then stops, {um, maybe i should just leave him alone, he doesnt look very happy at the moment}.
Artimeul finally seems to wake up and stops running around helplessly. He stands there with his mess of red hair now drenched and laying flatly on his head. His usual goofy grin isn't there either and for once in his life he looks rather...upset.
Tylo slowly backs away. He makes it look like he's giving the boy more room but in reality he doesn't know if this kid is a live wire and likely to snap.
Kailea isn't upset at all. But then again, neither is she laughing hysterically. She's got her arms crossed and all her weight on one hip, as usual, and she's still wearing that characteristic smirk. "Mornin', sunshine." That causes her to grin broadly, offering the boy in the water a wink. Live wire? Likely to snap? Then let him come at Kailea. She'll take care of -that-.
Arnet looks at Artimeul's face, now looking not so happy and goofy as usual. She begins to feel rather guilty about what she had just particapated in. "I am sorry Arti, it seemed really rather funny at the time, and well um.... yeah, sorry."
Psyche begins to turn off the shower faucets, saying nothing. If Artimeul had a problem with what had happened she and the other TL would take care of it. BUt she didn't think it would be an issue.
Artimeul shrugs at Arnet and salutes Kailea and Psyche. .o0(Thanks a lot all of you...) He walks out of the showers, naked except for wearing a depressed look on his face and passes by the other soldiers and regards them with only a nod.
Tylo shrugs it off. This was his first time picking on someone in the battle school and it both bothered him and made him feel alive. Tylo lets off a faint a faint grin. Whatcha gonna do?
Kailea clears her throat as Artimeul walks past her, one black brow quirking expectantly. "Stop, soldier. Come back here and stop pouting."
Arnet turns to watch Artimeul leave, then turns back around "Hmmm i dont think he was very happy with all of us." She turns back around and makes for the door, exits the bathroom and then walks back to the barracks
Tylo heads for the door and looks back to Kailea. "If you need me sir I'll be at the mess." He offers a quick salute and heads out the door.
Arnet hearing Kailea telling Artimeul to stop, outside the bathroom door, turns around and stands just outside the door wanting to hear what is about to happen
Artimeul stops and pivots around to face Kailea. He forces a grin out of himself and salutes her, "You called, Sir?"
Kailea rolls her eyes impatiently and motions Artimeul closer as she steps backwards to lean against the wall next to the shower. "I didn't tell you to grin like an idiot, either. Just don't pout. Now c'mere. I want to talk to you."
Artimeul raises an eyebrow and walks closer to the toon leader. .o0(Grin like an idiot? But that's my specialty...haha...) He looks down at her as she is shorter than him, but he fears her none the less. Toon Leaders always scared him, but Commanders didn't oddly enough. He waits patiently, not particularly eager to hear what she has to say.
Kailea's demeanor is completely relaxed, she's cool and calm.. collected and almost waiting for Arti to make a mistake that she can fix with some severe punishment. At least, that's how she looks. Inside.. who knows? "What is it you do during the day that makes you sleep like that? You fell off your bunk and we dragged your butt all the way to the launchie bathrooms without you waking up at all. That kind of thing's not going to work up here. You have to be able to jump up and go battle at a moment's notice, you can't just expect people to wait on you while you roll out of bed and .. meander around.. and .. wake up."
Artimeul shrugs, "I dont know...I've always been a heavy sleeper. Maybe if I didn't eat so much...but then I'd go hungry..." He looks around and relizes that he is in the...Launchie Bathrooms? .o0(Oh Great...They -dragged- me all the way to the -launchie- bathrooms?) His cheeks flush red which is a very -bad- thing for a red head like Arti.
Kailea nods as Artimeul talks, one hand coming up to rub at her chin, an invisible pondering beard there to help her think. "Here's what we're going to do, Artimeul.. you and I are going to start getting up an hour before everyone else. And we're going to go to the pool and we're going to swim laps for forty-five minutes.. and then we're going to shower and get dressed. And if you aren't ready to go within five minutes of my waking you up, you're getting a cold shower again. Understand?"
Siwdys walks over to urinal and takes a leak.
Artimeul begins to moan, but stops himself. He nods slowly and tries to keep his face blank. "Yes, Sir, I understand." .o0(An -hour- earlier...no...this is hell...) He really hopes the launchies didn't see him like this how embarrassing.
Siwdys eyes the group of Centipedes strangely, and walks out.
Kailea smirks at Artimeul and raises a hand to pat him gently on the shoulder, should he allow her to touch him. "Look, boyo, it's not bad. It teaches you wake up and get up and be aware. It helps you stay fit. It's refreshing.. and you'll find you have a lot more energy to face the day with. We start tomorrow. Any questions?"
Artimeul allows her to touch his wet and bare shoulder . He then sighs, "No questions, Sir. I understand perfectly, Sir." He wonders if the girl -is- right. Will it give him more energy? He'd like more energy, but seems to get more and more lazy everyday.
That smirk turns into a triumphant grin and Kailea nods her head in approval. "Okay. Good. Now, go get dressed and get some food, neh?"
Artimeul nods and smiles back at her, but probably not for the reason she thought he was smiling back. .o0(Food...now there's a good thought...) He practicly skips out of the showers, slipping a bit eager to get to the food.
