i. food break
[ Hien goes to the cafeteria after the lessons are done and he's patted Phantom's head enough. He cooked himself some pasta with bacon and tomato so he's quietly eating that in the corner of the cafeteria. Do not perceive... mostly because he probably earned the ire of several people during the lesson. It's fine. ]

[ Before the lessons, Fai only had a chance to chug some coffee, so he's pretty hungry by the time they're able to go. As everyone starts to disperse and as he slowly makes his way toward the cafeteria, Fai will smile at anyone he comes across and ask: ]
I'm hungry... want to get something to eat with me? I'll make it, free of charge!
[ ...Or come disturb his moment of peace while he sits on a bench in the courtyard, sipping on a coffee. ]

( after winding down, shizuku's first stop is a public bathroom to deal with the confetti, because she doesn't want that in her room or worse. on her bed. and then it's another stop!
specifically, it looks like madara wants a talk in their room.
after that, though, anyone can find shizuku at the cafeteria with a large pot of tea that she's happy to share.
Team Three gets greeted with a wave, a cup of tea and... )
You did really good!
( even ace gets that and ace kinda... uh. did absolutely nothing. but its fine she forgives him because narcolepsy is something that just happens like that apparently. nevermind the fact that he was going to cut the wires willy-nilly.
everyone else simply gets a wave unless they approach to talk. )

[There's Sholmes with the fake bomb. He has it in front of him, and it seems he managed to open it up. His eyes are sparkling like a kid with a new toy. Despite lacking the right tools, he still got to open the casing and is now examining the components, far more carefully than you would expect from him]
Fascinating, simply fascinating. It's nothing more than a large toy, but its electrical mechanisms are...I must say, I may reuse some of these in my own work upon my return home! Perhaps I should seek to disassemble more technology available around here!
[Sholmes taps the containers in which the glitter was stored]
Careful, this is very much functional even now. One wrong move can end with you being blasted with paper and glitter before you can inch away from this!
[...........
Is it a bluff? Is it true? Is he lying and already disarmed that? Who knows. Who knowssssss]

[Yeah, Madara wants to talk, so he gently stops her when they end up in the room at the same time. He's smiling, though it's not his usual grin, and if Shizuku gets magically perceptive, she might notice a little tension in his jaw and shoulders.]
Hey... You did a heck of a job today. Got a minute?
[He pats the bed beside him.]

[He pats the bed beside him.]
[ Here he is, ruining Fai's moment of peace by sitting next to him in the courtyard. He's also sipping on some coffee. ]
Hey.
[ Then he rubs the spot where Owen pinched Fai earlier. ]
Hey.
[ Then he rubs the spot where Owen pinched Fai earlier. ]
If it blasts me, it might as well be karma.
[ Hello, Sholmes. Hien is also curious of the bomb and tries to take a peek. ]

( even if she doesn't notice the physical tension, it's clear as day that he's upset. shizuku sits down beside him, soft and elegant as always, and offers a reassuring smile. )
Of course. What is it?
Of course. What is it?
Ah ha ha ha hah! True enough! You committed a most grievous trangression today, didn't you, Mr. Callias!
[Which, hey, Sholmes took in good spirits, but...]
I bear you no ill will but I won't speak for my fellow team members. You should watch your back.
[...but he sure won't lift a finger to stop anyone from pettily striking back, and that is because he can be a little petty too, hah]
I pray you didn't experience any shocking experiences today, did you? This did have such a function, I can see.

[ It's a little bit weird that Hien is rubbing his arm, but he understands why. It feels a little bit like an apology. ]
Care to explain what that was earlier?
Care to explain what that was earlier?
Yeah, well, that's fine. I'm expecting them to come at me any day now.
[ He's so quickly resigned to it that it makes him look used to things like these. But that's not the point for Hien. ]
We almost got shocked, but a groupmate pointed out my mistake after we double-checked, so we actually succeeded pretty smoothly.
[ Barring him and Owen getting into an almost-fight. ]
What about you?

[ He's gone back to being no thoughts, head empty mode as he sips some more coffee. ]

[ Riku can be seen in two places after the event. The first is Room 15, or rather, him emerging from it with...his blanket and pillow and what appears to be a spare change of clothes. Also, his fish slippers. Can't forget those!
After retreating from Room 15, he can be found camping out in the common area. Quite literally. He's taken to a quiet corner of the area and he's curled up in a corner, lying down on his pillow with his blanket covering him. He's also conveniently by some seating, so if someone happens to come by, he'll look up and clutch his belongings to his chest. ]
Sorry... Am I in your way? I can move.

[ Fai stares at him for a moment. ]
You rub the spot where Owen pinched me and yet you still don't know what I'm talking about?
[ Hien. Please. ]

[ Hien. Please. ]
Oh.
[ Let him think over it over a nice long sip of coffee.
... ]
He asked if he can trust me, so I said that'll depend on him, because I won't force him to trust me. Then he got annoyed because I think he didn't understand what I meant.

Riku...? Did something happen?
( she was just moving to have tea at her desk but oh noooo what's happening... )

[ Hmmm. Fai has a sip of his own coffee, crossing his legs as he thinks it over. ]
He probably got annoyed because the two of you already don't get along, so it wasn't an answer he was looking for.
[ Not that he knows Owen well, but that's what Fai thinks from his own point of view. ]
Did something happen during the week?

[ Well, that was awful!
Gentaro is decidedly displeased with the aftermath; he hardly blames his group, but glitter is notoriously difficult to get out of clothes and hair. It takes him some time to join the others in the cafeteria. Instead of his usual clothes, he's donned a green sweater and--to his annoyance--a pair of sweatpants from the gift shop.
Regrettably, there are still traces of glitter on his face and in his hair. He does not look happy about this.
He grabs himself a coffee, though. Even if the tea sucks, at least they have coffee and creamer. For a little while, he's here in the cafeteria, simply watching the others. He'll, of course, be happy to talk to anyone.
After that, though, he makes his way to the common room, where he has a notebook and pen. He'd like to do a bit of writing (and he's filled in a page or two), but... well. He just can't focus, past that. ]

[ Since Hien is in room 8 with the door open for now, he catches a glimpse of Riku going over to the common area. He doesn't think anything of it at first, but then after some time, he gets out of bed to go look for him in the common area. ]
... You're not in the way, but why are you here, Riku?
... You're not in the way, but why are you here, Riku?
[She looks unbothered, which is a relief, but he's an idol too. He knows they're exceedingly good, even trained to hide their discomfort or unease. But his smile loosens up slightly.]
Sorry to bring up something bad, but how're you holding up? The shocks got you pretty bad, didn't they?
[She cried, and he felt the alarm. It was enough at the time that he tried to comfort her while maintaining his composure, but it's really his worst fear about this place being realized. The fact that they feel each other's pain means she felt the effect of four shocks, just as he did. They were mild enough, but who's to say it'll stay mild? No, the Instructor implied that it wouldn't be so easy going forward.
He's worried.]

[ ...Ah.
Fai can't help but frown just a little when he sees Riku curled up in the corner of the common area like that. ]
Hey, Riku. Everything alright? [ A pause. ] Don't worry, you're not in my way.

Oh... Maybe something light, for right now? But I'd like to clean up a little first. Can I meet you there?
...Shizuku, sorry... I don't want you to see me like this.
[ He'll at least sit up, though when he shifts his leg a certain way, he winces. And it's not because of the fish slippers... ]
I'll be okay.

[ Hien is eating his own food in the cafeteria and he spots Gentaro with coffee. So he makes his way there and sits across from him. ]
You look like a completely different person with those clothes. You still look nice though.
[ He is all for casual wear. It's his favorite. ]

[ Hien might have an idea of what's bothering Riku, given everything that happened with Group 2 earlier... ]
I...I can't stay there. I just need a break from that guy. He doesn't even sleep there to begin with, but...
