[b][color=f26522]Uriko Ryuta/Strife Time: Days before current lockdown.[/color][/b] An alarm goes off, 5:00 A.M.; sunlight is only just starting to peek through the curtains of the room. [color=f26522]"You've gotta be kidding me, that time already?"[/color] A young woman smashes the alarm clock across the room into a wall from her bed and slowly gets up, she appears to be wearing pajamas that are covered in black on one side and white on the other and a hoodie that has a sinister look of glaring red eyes. ((no alarm clocks were harmed in the making of this paragraph...much)) She makes her way to the closet in her bedroom and picks up her uniform and casual clothes then makes her way to the shower. [color=f26522]"Can't believe I have to take another year at that place I was so close last year... Well I guess I'll just take it out on any newbies that's always fun." [/color] Entering the bathroom she plops the clothes down and undressed for a shower. Turning the nobs of the water to only cold. [color=f26522]"I won't let her overtake me this year, I'll defeat her this time for sure... Only I should be number one."[/color] Finished she exits and drys off with a towel, some of her hair goes off into a cowlick [color=f26522]"Can't ever keep you down. Just like me."[/color] She then brushes her teeth and smiles looking at her reflection admiring it. The woman is of well kept stature her body obviously trained and hair of Auburn Orange, it's hard to say if she dyed it or it's her natural hair color. She puts two simple earrings on followed by her casual clothes and sandals.

Much better for combat. They should have me designing new student uniform."[/color] Uriko lives off campus alone on the breaks they are allowed to have off it. This is an apartment nearby she's been renting. She's brokered a deal with the owner, a close friend, to make this exclusively her apartment though she only really stays on breaks be they long like now or a short hour or so. Of course she pays rent, but it's fairly cheap. It's moderate, not high class, but it's enough. The apartment isn't perfectly well kept, but it's clearly organized to her liking even if things are slightly messy. There is a computer in the corner of the main room. She makes her way to the kitchen. There are supplements of varying nature to help balance her vitamin intake and balanced pre-made meals in the fridge. She picks up a balanced array of blue berries mixed into a salad of sweet potatoes, carrots, and pecan nuts along with a mix of vitamins which she dumps into a glass of skim milk she poured. She begins eating slowly [color=f26522]"I guess I'll have to head there early, should be a new batch of recruits to teach like every year. Maybe put some fear into them."[/color] Finished she washes her face, rinses out her mouth, then washes the dishes putting them into a dish washer [color=f26522]"Lets see what's online today..."[/color] Making her way to the computer in the main room for entertainment she checks the time on the computer once there. [color=f26522]"5:30 A.M., plenty of time. Some new advancements in quantum technology? Interesting... Ghost stories... Celebrity news... Demonic possessions... None of this other stuff is important enough for me to use in the future."[/color] She logs off the computer and grabs a backpack from her bedroom then neatly stuffs the school uniform into it along with anything else she'd usually need, like supplements and food. She stretches for a moment before putting the pack on her back. Grabing some keys from the wall, her wallet and exiting the apartment, she locks it behind her then making her way to a bike chained up near the street, she unlocks it hooking the chain around a loop on her pack then starts riding off towards the school at blazing speeds, stopping at the docks that have boats leading there. She meets the captain of a boat that takes students to the island before lockdown. [color=f26522]"Captain, nice day isn't it?"[/color] The captain nods back and warms the boat up and makes his way to the island once several other students are on board. She wears the school uniform over her current clothes before taking a step onto campus and makes her way to the list that shows tenants on the apartment listings. [color=f26522]"Silas Maddox,Arden August,Darien,Rowan Mullen... More male recruits this year. Looks like I'll be across them along with... Oh, looks like I got grouped with some decent people this year for a change, not sure about the newbies across though."[/color] She makes her way to the main campus office to obtain her keys to get settled in on campus again in her new assigned apartment early, then makes her way to it.
