He seemed a bit nervous by it all, her visiting his room after classes were over for the day and presenting him with honmei-choco as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Perhaps Kaiser assumed she'd forgotten, as most girls made somewhat of a production of presenting honmei-choco to their significant others or crushes, declaring to the world precisely how they felt about them. But Sonia had wanted more of a private display of affection, if only for the questionable chocolates alone.

"Why not enjoy both sets of chocolate?" She beamed, before standing up on her toes, a necessity in her flat school-approved loafers, in order to place a small peck on his lips. Behind the door in this world entirely of their own fabrication, they were simply two people in love: the titles of princess and thief all but forgotten. "That's the benefit of celebrating the holiday in two different ways: more gifts to be shared. And who would turn down an excess of chocolate? As far as I'm concerned, there can't be too much of it today." Even if they happened to eat so much candy they got sick, it would still all be worth it. Different classes and busy schedules meant that Sonia had barely even seen Kaiser that day, much less had a chance to even wish him a Happy Valentine's Day. Not that anyone else seemed to mind: after word had gotten out that they were seeing each other, the majority of their classmates couldn't even understand how they tolerated one another, much less cared for each other.

Setting her school bag down on a chair in his room, she hadn't had to wait long for his suggestion of how to spend the rest of the day. A smile spread across her face as eagerly clasped her hands together, already thinking of possibilities. "A movie? I'd like that very much! What did you have in mind, perhaps something appropriate for the day? We could perhaps have food delivered too, if the prospect of visiting the cafeteria on Valentine's Day doesn't suit us."

After all, they couldn't live on chocolate, fruit, and wine alone, despite Sonia herself attempting such a thing two years prior to the day. But as he continued, it seemed as if he had an appetite for something, or someone, else, beyond dinner. Eyes widening as a light pink blush grew hot on her cheeks, she wasn't sure if there was any truth to his suggestions regarding that particular food combination but its meaning hadn't been lost on her.

   A rare moment of peace for the breeder. Just a brief instant when he can sit back and not worry about his work. He almost never lets himself take a break from his animals and the research he needs to perform for his blog, but at this moment he has decided he could use one. A short walk from his animal shed and towards a secluded tree in the Academy gardens has become his silent sanctuary, Gundham sitting beneath it with his back to the trunk and a novel in his hands.

   He reads the pages of classic gothic literature, the breeder enjoying this moment to once again delve into the dark and atmospheric story. The Picture of Dorian Gray may not be his favourite gothic novel but he hasn’t read it in some time so he finds the story refreshing, unlike Frankenstein, which is a story he could quote page for page with ease.

   Alas, his peace and silence is broken. He should have known this moment was fleeting. The school has a tendency to throw unusual and unwanted events at its students. It must come with bringing all these eccentric people together in one place. At this moment one such individual casts a shadow over him, his steps ruining the silence.

    “I do hope you want nothing from me,” the breeder says, addressing the approaching student but not looking up from his book. “Because if you wish to disturb my peace know that I will refuse you.”

It had been a normal, uneventful day for Haru. There was no rush for her to get home quickly, close to no homework, perhaps she’d study for her upcoming tests... There’s a lot of things she doesn’t want to see, and one of them is her fiancé, just casually strolling inside her room, seeking to spend time with her... At the very least, school made for a very good excuse not to get home early.

“Hmm?” She could’ve sworn she heard something, ruffling between the bushes of Shujin’s front garden. Haru had been working on these plants for about half an hour by now, and aside from the walking students, nobody had stopped to look at her... But she could’ve sworn she felt... a presence.

“Don’t worry, little ones...” She whispered to the others. “I’m still here, I’m still here...”

    Although it had been hot most of the summer, this day was exceptionally warm. It was for this reason Makoto had decided to go study in a cool cafe. She could have gone to the library, but studies had shown that changing one’s environment could help stimulate the brain. She figured it was worth a shot.

    She waited in line, albeit it was a lot longer than usual. She couldn’t blame anyone though. The brunette didn’t consider herself an impatient person. “Let’s see.. It seems like a good day for some tea.” She merely mumbled to herself-- It was much too hot for coffee.

@vainvandal said :"Lightweight!"

"I...am NOT a lightweight! Part of my skillset requires me to maintain decorum while imbibing in liquor! I'll show you, just watch."

It had begun under the assumption that Sonia, as kind and sweet as she was, wouldn't be able to handle her alcohol. Hope's Peak was strict on its contraband items, alcohol included, leaving most students to either exhibit creativity sneaking in drinks or leaving the premises to indulge. Sonia identified with the former: not an everyday occurrence of course, but when she wanted a taste of home, she had a small reserve of Novoselic's finest wines, best paired with chocolate.

But wine hadn't been their poison tonight. Instead, it was whiskey, something Sonia hadn't minded the taste of, the complex flavors of fruit and spice lingering on her tongue. But it had gotten her drunk faster than she would've liked: four glasses in and everything was right in the world. Drinking in their individual dorm rooms would've been highly inappropriate, so she'd decided on the one place no student wanted to be the night before a day off: the library. The various locks intended to keep students out of the school after hours hadn't been a problem, so now she sat, empty glass and a bottle still half-full of liquor, in the company of one of her newest friends.

"Kaiser-san..." Sonia began in Japanese. She often chose to use German with him, being perhaps the only other student at Hope's Peak who understood the language, but her ability to focus on switching tongues was heavily impaired. As were several other things, including common sense. "Isn't life wonderful? Despite the rigorous schedules and expectations here, Japan is truly an excellent place to be! Even...drinking in a school library..."

She'd attempted to end her sentence quietly, still slightly worried they'd get caught. But as she'd continued to drink glass after glass, the fear of getting caught was replaced with a need to do something spontaneous, maybe even reckless. Under normal circumstances, she was a princess with obligations. But tonight? Sonia Nevermind was invincible.

"I think I might be a little drunk. Just a little."

   Gundham bounces another rock on his palm, eyes taking in his handiwork so far. He’s managed to break quite a few of the windows on this side of the building. He wonders how many classes he disturbed with his rock hucking. He hopes it caused some screams. That would definitely make this more interesting. At the moment he is just taking some solace in the sound of glass shattering.

    Eyes focus on one of the third floor windows. He hasn’t managed to hit one of those yet. It’ll be a personal achievement if he does. So Gundham takes a few steps back, hoping to get a good arc going. He winds up the shot, rearing his arm back. Then he takes a breath and lets it fly. It hangs in the air for a moment and he feels certain his toss will miss. Then the rock hits glass and the sound of it shattering echoes around him.

     “Ahahaha, yes!” He laughs, grinning at his success, but now he’s run out of rocks.

    His gaze lowers, searching the ground for some other stones he can throw. He finds none, instead his eyes fall on someone who has apparently been observing his anarchic past time. He frowns at them, pulling himself to his full height and shoving his hands into the pockets of his jacket.

   “Yeah? Got something to say, fucker?” he challenges.
