Explosion: In the Kitchen

[She's rolling out dough for the nights dinner when the news comes on talking about the explosion. A frown comes across her face as she begins to wonder about what is happening. Wondering if she would be recalled. As soon as the news stops she looks away from the tv and gets back to her baking.]

Concert: In the cafeteria

[She's dropping off all the loaves she had made with a smile on her face, she's got a tray in each hand as she sort of bobs along to the music playing in the background.]

Virus: In the courtyard

[She's reading a book leaned against a tree in the grass when that news comes on. More and more mutants were getting sick every day and to hear of them dying she couldn't bear it. a frown comes over her face and she leans her head back against the tree and looks away from her copy of On the Gallian Front]

Repairs: In the Common room

[She's still got her book on her as she sits on the couch, still reading when the news comes on. The memory of the event still vivid in her memory. The entire reason she came here was to learn to control herself.]

Jackass.

Courtyard

[personal profile] reallyfeelingit 2015-07-13 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[More like after the news plays, Shulk runs out into the courtyard, mostly heading over to his lab. He was already doing his daily exercises elsewhere but when he heard the news, he felt as if he needed to do some kind of research on the topic. Biology wasn't his area but if it could be killed in other ways, Shulk wanted to know.

Unfortunately, he was already incredibly tired and had to take a breather in the courtyard.]


Phew.....

....I can't be like this in emergency. Get yourself together Shulk....

[Leaning away from her book she sees Shulk in the grass, hands on his knees taking a breath. She raises her hand and waves to him with a big smile on her face.]

Hi Shulk!

[Huffing and waving a hand, albeit weakly in response.]

Are you doing okay?

I'm ok. Trying to take a break after baking a bunch today. Trying to learn about my heritage a little.

Heritage? Ah, you mean your home country? Is that it?

Well, I was born here but my grandparents Emigrated from Gallia after WW2. Unfortunately it doesn't exist anymore so I've been trying to research it. I bought this while I was stationed in Poland near what used to be Gallia.

[She picks up the big blue book made up of newspaper clippings about her grandfather's volunteer tank unit during WW2]

It's fascinating to learn more about my grandparents.

What happened to the country?

['Used to be' is a big statement. And Shulk wasn't exactly all boned up on his history, considering his focus.]

There was a Civil War after World War 2. The combination of the two wars ruined the country and it ended up being annexed into Poland. That's when my Grandparents emmigrated to the US

That's...sad to hear. I'm sure the people who lived there were good people nonetheless.

There was a lot of good. This book has me fascinated. The way they fought off the Germans in WWII and pushed them out of a tiny country.
