His eyes fluttered open, complete darkness still surrounded him, nature was calling. Luca stretched slightly, careful to not get a leg cramp, when doing so he bumped a wall to his left, which confused him before he remembered he wasn’t on his bed anymore. Sighing sadly he slid to the other side of his bed and stood up stretching some more, remembering where the bathroom was he went towards it.
Thinking back on it, during yesterday’s ‘personal time’ he remembered seeing a tube next to the door, feeling for it, he found it and removed the lid from the opening of the tube, after a few seconds the ntern hanging from the ceiling lit up, slowly casting a warm glow over the washroom. Technology never really interested Luca, but between that and the raining closet, his curiosity was sparked, he thought about this while he took off his underwear and sat on the toilet, letting nature proceed, his mind wandered.
He didn’t know what hour it was, maybe it was still deep into the night, he didn’t remember seeing Cory on his bed, perhaps he only had slept a couple of hours, and yet he felt rested, well, rested enough at least, a deep bad feeling still anchored him to his sorrow. Luca grimaced, trying to draw out some more crying, but after a few tries nothing came out, he was probably dry, thirsty, hungry too.
He didn’t know how to deal with the uneasiness, but breakfast wouldn’t make it worse, that much he knew. He finished his duties and stood up, finding paper next to the toilet, he wondered if they had to buy it or if the university restocked it for them, luxuries he could now afford easily. It wasn’t all bad in Zenith apparently, it sure beat the rationing of old paper and the usage of water when the first option ran out.
Stepping out of the washroom, Luca thought about his tasks for the day as he walked over to the bed to pull out his clothes from underneath. It was the first day, and the director said that the week would be busy, filled with training and instructing to become a proper guild member, however he also had to go to the doctor before all that, and after he’d have to go to the director’s office for whatever reason, his next task he was told, what could she want from him? Remembering how their meeting ended yesterday sent a knot to his throat and a dumb smile to his face.
Having dressed up in the darkness he began putting on his boots, all while trying to shake the image of the director’s bust off his mind. He had never felt this… intensely about this matter, or did he and he just didn’t remember? Was the succubus dust still affecting him? Or was it just a bad timed coincidence? Luca didn’t have an answer to any of these questions, however, the supposed doctor was apparently one of the best in the world, so he hoped she did.
Having been dressed he walked over to the wardrobe, grabbed his bag and took out the coin pouch. 20 gold pieces, all from the savings. He’d use them right, he’d give his family double the amount, triple! Stuffing the coin pouch in his pocket, he grabbed the information booklet and closed the door, and before getting to the main door of the room, this one shot open on its own.
Stumbling in, Cory leaned against the doorframe, clearly inebriated and letting some light in, it was morning.
”I-Is THis uGh… twO SiSteeEn?” Luca saw his new roommate, make-up running through his face, a mess made out of his hair and his face pressed against the doorframe, he still looked kind of cute.
“Yeah, this i-” Cory slumped over to him, burying his face in his chest, Luca had to hold him so he didn’t fall, the unexpected closeness sent a shiver down his spine.
“FinALLeeeee…” The drunk stood up, still leaning against Luca, who blushed when he heard him inhale deeply. “Mmmm… yOu smELL niCEeeee…” He giggled and got a hiccup, Luca started moving him towards his bed. “W-WhY doN’t we cONtinue iN my RoOm handSoME?” Gulping, Luca tried to calm down as he slid him to his bed, he was as light as one would think.
“M-Maybe ter, now just y down yeah? On your bed.” He slowly set him down, while doing so his arm brushed against his lower back, which made him give up halfway to drop the guy while reeling his hands back.
“Uoof!…” Cory fell on his bed and immediately id on his side, in the wrong direction, his head at the feet of his bed. “ThanK yoU cuTE stuff… sucH a GenTLemaN heheheh…” Luca gnced out the door, seeing light come in from the windows in the hallway, and noticing a paper stuck to their wall. “Now… whY dOn’T YoU tWo reDHeadS hOP iN and We caN CudDle a bit eh? heheheh… *hic*... cuse me…” How drunk was he? Didn’t he say it was the first day?
“...Sure… close your eyes first though.” He said as he walked over to the door and grabbed the paper that said ‘Guild Itinerary’. Suddenly he gnced back as he heard the rhythmic snoring of his roommate, chuckling to himself, Luca grabbed the doorknob and started closing the door as he exited. “Sleep well Cory.” He shut the door and walked over to one of the windows, gncing through it he was immediately blinded by the sun that shined directly through it and illuminated the whole empty hallway in a warm orange light.
Leaning against the window, and because of the angle of the blinding sun, Luca deduced that it was somewhere between 6 and 6:30 Am while he rubbed his eyes, then he looked at the paper.
Luca scanned it, there seemed to be little time for oneself if they intended free time to be shared with other activities. Furthermore, another thing caught Luca’s eye. While he could deduce what ‘training of role’ meant (probably depends if you are a healer or a mapper you do different training that time), he didn’t know what to make of the ‘tournament’ talk the flier mentioned. Surely it didn’t mean an actual Tournament did it? If it did, it seemed like quite the thing to avoid writing on the information booklet.
Luca leaned his head back, bumping the wall, each minute everything felt more and more real, he hoped that one day he’d get accustomed to Zenith but, as of right now? He didn’t feel like that time was close, he sighed and stood straight, stuffed the itinerary in his pocket and took out the booklet, now was no time to sulk, it was time to find the doctor’s office, perhaps he would be able to complete this task earlier than anticipated.
