Welcome to Gaia! ::

Junko was determined to be on time for this class. Her first battle...card...giving class and she wanted to make a good first impression. She hummed happily as she walked through the cafeteria into the kitchen, peeking inside to make sure she had the right place. She gasped softly when she was greeted by a deep voice, staring at the lunch...lady? Man? Per..son? She'd just call Ginger the Lunchperson for now. But it seemed she wasn't the first person here! That was good, it made her feel a little better, less awkward about being by herself and getting stuck alone if maybe no one else came. But why would someone not come aside from..forgetting? "Hello! Thank you!" Junko chirped to the wom--lunchperson, feeling more and more comfortable now that she was actually here.

She looked toward the aprons, smiling brightly and grabbing one to put on. At the mention of kerchiefs for their hair she paused a moment and looked toward her hair. "Um...Miss Ginger? I'm not sure my hair will allow me to keep one on." She gave a little huff, helping Junko tie her apron behind her neck.

"Indeed. I refuse to be bound." How absurd! Cover Her with a common scarf?! As if! Hmph! Junko grabbed a scarf anyway just in case Ginger insisted, finding a place to stand near Thackery and watching as he messed with his kerchif. She giggled and pressed her fingers to her lips.

Tahki made her way into the class and quickly grabbed a scarf and an apron. The gryphon successfully wrapped her scarf around her head and tied her apron on her first try. Though, the gryphon kept her headphones on. Didn't know when she'd need to ignore some one. It was a safe bet to keep them. Yeah.

Now to get on with class and not call to much attention to her self. She needed that battle pass to complete her goal or make a step toward it. Tahki needed to learn how to be brave. She needed to know.

The gryphon silently blended in with the rest of the gathering group quickly becoming a faceless figure amongst her peers.

Malodore didn't mind aprons or scrubs - they were par for the course, excellent for keeping squirts of blood or other, more unsavory fluids from polluting one's person. However, these aprons were rather...

Um...

Well, not the most dignified thing in the entire world. Malodore thanked its unlucky stars that it had no hair to cover, thus sparing itself the kerchief, and slipped the apron on over its clothing. Pink did not exactly go well with black and red, but... well.

That done, the plague doctor surreptitiously surveyed its fellow classmates. It recognized a few from its other lessons, at least.

Malodore bowed courteously, then shrugged at her question. "I've investigated the meals here, and I'm quite certain some of the dishes are prepared from... ah... very large beasts. Still, presumably we will be armed with something suitable..." Perhaps a large cleaver or other prodigious butchery blade. "Presumably we will need to learn how to prepare the meat for cooking. Given the battle passes, I assume the meat may well be alive when we begin..."

Malodore thought momentarily of the very large tentacles it'd seen in the stew last week. This might be difficult.

Oh my! More people were coming in! Junko looked around to see if she spotted anyone she knew. She hadn't recognized either of the names on the signup sheet before her, and she hadn't come back before class to see who had joined in after her. But Thackery was here, a person she didn't know but a name she recognized from the elections? So far she really didn't know any of these other people. Junko frowned with worry, the insecurities she'd been trying to dispose of through socializing flaring up. This was something that made school fun, right? Meeting new people! Her eyes turned warily toward the back of her head and she bit her lip, worried that She would do something that would ruin this attempt she was doing to make. Make friends. Make friends. She wanted to make lots of friends.

"I think it's strange we'll be getting battle passes from this. The name might just be very deceiving to get our hopes up into thinking it's an easy A?" Junko piped up with a giggle in reply to the girl with the...were her ears fins? That was neat! And her hair was so pretty. She blinked and stared at the one with the beak, her face paling a little at the suggestion they were making. The meat was going to be alive? I-in animal form, right? Not...like...ground up and living and...gross! She tried to distract herself from the thought of being attacked by a pile of meat by seeing who else was here now, giving the other two students a curious look. Wow! They had such pretty wings!

Tilting her head as he spoke, Alcie was interested to see these beasts but she had never had to kill something and then eat it... That seemed a little primitive for her tastes but she would do whatever the Lunchlady had planned. Alcie wasn't the type to get squeamish either so this activity seemed promising in the 'entertainment' department.

"That would be interesting and potentially troublesome. Hopefully we're at least armed with something unless we're expected to utilize our fear somehow. Having to prepare a meal in that manner sounds appropriate for this class. We'll see I guess." Smiling widely at Maladore, Alcyone was also curious to know what these battle passes were for and if they would be needing them for something in the future. Her fear was still relatively weak and she knew that she wouldn't be able to hold off anything for very long. Though, at this point she really wasn't too concerned about getting hurt.
