Code Lyoko: Red Menace

One by one Saya's comrades in arms showed up at the table. First was Ronnie, who made quite an entrance for himself. Though she felt that she herself was beyond such childish behavior as that, it was still very amusing. The corners of her mouth twitched upward into a small smile as he approached, mentioning something about the smell of justice. "Justice is a criminal getting arrested, that was a childish prank." She scolded, though judging from the smile that was still on her lips, she was mostly just teasing. Seeing bullies get was they deserve was very satisfying. She felt a small pang of jealously at the homemade lunch that Ronnie was holding. Being in the dorms, she didn't really have access to cooking equipment.

Next was the computer expert Matthew, who didn't say anything, just sat down and starting working on some computer stuff. Saya didn't mind really, she enjoyed her solitude, despite the fact that she was raised on social events. Or maybe because of that. Finally it was Deija, who had her nose in a cookbook again. The moment she sat down there was a rude comment coming out of her mouth and a smirk on her face. The girl was lucky that Saya had gone through so many etiquette classes growing up. Or else she may have smacked that smirk off her face. Instead she spoke just a single word. "Classy." She said before eating her last forkful of the barely edible cafeteria meal.

With her meal eaten, she pulled out her smart phone, the newest model of course, her parents insisted. They were already talking about sending her a nice laptop, after hearing about the school provided ones. A laptop that she was planning on giving to Matthew if she couldn't convince her parents to not send one at all. She opened up her emails see if there was anything important, at least to her. There was just one that held her interest. It was Jacob, or Jake as he preferred. Jake was the son of another very wealthy company owner, and Saya's fiancé of sorts. It had already been decided that the two would be married once Saya was finished with high school, Jake was a year older, thus finished already. Saya liked Jake, he was sweet, caring, a champion archer, but she hadn't known him long enough to love him. Still, there were far worse people she could be forced to marry. As far as choices went, he wasn't bad.

His email spoke about visiting her over their next holiday break, since she wouldn't be leaving. After hearing her complain about the food, he was planning on bringing her a few things that she would be able to use to cook in her room. Saya was busy responding to him, when she heard Julius' voice and looked up. At the mention of XANA, Saya glanced around, listening and looking for anything out of place. A few pieces of conversations reached her ears, but nothing majorly concerning. "Nothing yet, but I'll keep an eye out." Saya was a very well trained fighter, if anything went down, she felt that it was her responsibility to keep people on the outside safe, while the others fought in Lyoko. She had no problem sacrificing herself for cause, especially since wounds healed when they went back in time.

Are we going with some sort of posting order to make sure nobody gets left behind?

Jim is an amazing character, definitely stole the spotlight whenever he was in an episode. My favorite episode has always been the one where he set up the training camp for the Lyoko Warriors.

I had a little bit too much fun writing about Saya's hatred of cafeteria food.

Code Lyoko: Red Menace

Saya wasn't a big fan of math. There were certain sciences that couldn't hold her interest. But what she hated most about her school day was lunch. The food in the cafeteria was appalling. Not just because Saya's upbringing gave her a refined taste, but because before coming to Kadic Academy, she cooked most of her meals herself. Unfortunately, she didn't have access to a kitchen here and had no choice but to eat the cafeteria food or starve, which some days was very tempting. As she went through the line receiving her food, she kept a neutral expression on her face, hiding her disgust with practiced ease. She politely declined the gray goop that was being passed off as gravy, as she would rather eat her turkey dry than with that crap on there.

Finally she had her poor excuse for a meal. Normally Saya would have eaten outside, alone, but after XANA's first attack and her introduction to her comrades at arms, she had a duty to sit with them. She had yet to call them friends, or even trust them to have her back in battle, but you didn't choose your allies sometimes. It would take time, but Saya believed she would come to trust her allies. She scanned the room for any of her comrades, but didn't find them. They must have still been in line, or had decided starving would be better than the so called food that was being served. Saya scoped out an empty table and made her way over to it. She took a seat and for a moment did nothing but stare at the food in front of her.

Reluctantly she picked up her utensils and got a scoop of her mashed potatoes. They were bad, she found, but very obviously instant and not home made. They had that powdered, from a box taste to them. The carrots were overcooked and mushy, but at least they weren't overly salty this time. The turkey was dry, but had decent flavor. The garlic bread was bland and not really worth mentioning. It wasn't the worst meal she had eaten since coming her, but it certainly wasn't the best either. At least everything was warm and semi-edible. As she began to mix everything on her plate together, in hopes to make it a little better, Saya glanced around the room again. She scanned for any of her comrades, or anything out of the ordinary, ever vigilant and keeping an eye out for anything that could have been a XANA attack.

@Cinderella Man I know people who have antisocial disorder, so I immediately think of that when people mention the word.

Saya isn't that version of antisocial anyway. Just because somebody prefers solitude doesn't mean they don't like talking to people.

Code Lyoko: Red Menace

Accidental double post. Curse you server errors!

Code Lyoko: Red Menace

Antisocial. You guys keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

Antisocial refers to a mental disorder in which people hate others and refuse to interact with them. It is a very serious thing and very different from somebody just not liking to talk to people.

I can't say with any character but my own, but Saya doesn't have antisocial disorder. She's introverted and has some trust issues. That doesn't actually mean that she refuses to talk to people. She just likes her solitude.

@Double Yup. There are a couple of one handed moves for the katana, but mainly it's a two handed weapon. You have much better control over the weapon, which gives you more power, accuracy, defense, everything really. Dual wielding is cool, but not always useful.

@ReaptheMusic Here's a few tips from someone who's trained in weaponry. First off, in keeping with the samurai theme, I would suggest changing the glaive to a naginata. A glaive is a Western weapon, the naginata is the Eastern version. Next, I understand having a shorter range weapon to go with your long range weapon, but considering that katanas are two handed weapons, having two is pretty much useless.
