Charon opened the door do his team's empty dorm room, wearing a robe while drying his hair off by massaging his head with a towel. He walked over to his bed and plopped down on it, throwing the damp towel into his laundry hamper. He let out a sigh of relief; he felt a lot better after a nice hot shower, [color=bc8dbf]"At least I had enough luck to have some hot water for a shower..."[/color] He mumbled to himself.

He glanced over to his nightstand to spy his scroll all lit up. He reached over and grabbed it, opening it up to see that Ferris had texted him twice.

[pre]From: Ferris

Come join me by the air docks, some guy set up a grill, and now there is a little grill out going on. 
I figure we can use this opportunity to meet some new faces and introduce ourselves.[/pre]

[color=bc8dbf][i]Someone set up a grill on the air-docks? Huh, free food does sound nice, especially if there is something there that beats my rather disappointing breakfast[/i].[/color]


He scrolled down to read the next message, which made him frown:

[pre]From Ferris: 

"Too slow, grills canceled. :( Sorry guys. 
Meet up with me anyways. I'll make it up to you."[/pre]

[color=bc8dbf][i]Well shoot, an opportunity for good food came and went, and just like breakfast I didn't know about it until it was too late[/i][/color]. He closed his eyes and sighed again, sick of his abysmal luck this morning in satisfying his hunger with good food.

He opened his eyes again and decided to message Ferris back,

[pre] Just my luck, I miss a cookout while I was in the shower. Oh well, where are you exactly?[/pre]

He waited a moment and his scroll buzzed in his hand, with a new message from Ferris:

[pre] At the Courtyard beyond the Air-docks, waiting for you slowpokes [/pre]

Charon smiled, and replied : [pre] OK, see you in a few captain [/pre]

Charon placed his scroll back on his nightstand and got up to walk to his dresser to grab a fresh pair of his favorite casual clothes: A purple plaid shirt over a gray T-shirt, and some blue jeans with some wool socks. After getting fully clothed, he hung his robe up on the door to the bathroom and grabbed his pair of brown leather combat boots along with his pair of gaunlets and quickly tied them on. Lastly, he put on his harness for his Greatsword-Rifle, but due to the rather casual occasion, collapsed the shoulder pad down a comfortable size, readjusted his bandoiler onto his back underneath the scabbard for his sword to be out of the way and out of sight, and hoisted his weapon, whilst in sword form, into the scabbard.

He grabbed his scroll and stuffed it into his pocket and went through a mental checklist to make sure he had everything before he left, and of course, forgot his favorite hat, which he left in his dresser. Throwing that on over his head, he left the room and locked the door behind him.

Charon guided himself to Ferris's aura, spotting his team leader lounging under a tree while reading a book in the middle of the courtyard. A songbird sang in the tree above him and Charon smiled while he approached his team leader, [color=bc8dbf]"What a lovely songbird, sounds like a finch has taken interest in what you're reading Ferris."[/color] 

Charon took a knee next to him trying to read the text in the book, [color=bc8dbf]"Er, what are you reading anyways?"[/color]
