In the period between Lorenzo's class and the present briefing, Serah had spent what little time remained hovering around Elora, Stella and especially Aurora. She hadn't gotten particularly close to anyone else yet, after all. After her encounter with Griff, she also very blatantly steered clear of all the guys, and wasn't caught on her own without one of the other girls around so she could hide behind them. It did mean that Serah wasn't too familiar with the trio of green-haired new arrivals, though given that they were all boys it didn't bother her too much.

The lieutenant went over the details of the VR mission they'd been assigned. The pilots would be split into two teams, pitted against each-other. It disappointed Serah just a little bit, as she didn't want to fight the people she'd be fighting together with. Especially when Elora and Aurora had both gotten assigned to the opposite teams... but then again, when she saw Shiva being listed among the other team, Serah felt something else too. A fiery, competitive and vindictive drive pushing her forward. She punched her fist into her other hand's open palm, thinking to herself: [color=00aeef][i]'I'm going to be getting payback on you, jerk.'[/i][/color]

Cooling herself off a little with a breath, she glanced around the room. Elora scooted closer to Arrish and Aurora, presumably to discuss strategy or something. Serah should do the same with her team, all things considered. And yet...

[color=00aeef]"Hey you three,"[/color] she'd cheerily say, approaching and inserting herself into the conversation. [color=00aeef]"Looks like we didn't make it on the same team. I'm a little disappointed, but... well, let's all try our best alright? Me and Atty won't lose easily!"[/color]

She shot Aurora an apologetic glance in particular, even though she knew it wasn't up to her how the teams were divided. With a little wave and a wink, Serah ran off again and looked for members of her own team to mingle with. Of all the people in the team, she was only comfortable approaching Stella and Sparks... well, on her own anyway. She hoped to get some more courage to talk to the others by tagging along with one of them. Sparks was the closer of the two, so Serah scooted over next to him.

[color=00aeef]"Hi hi,"[/color] she'd greet him all chipper. [color=00aeef]"Looks like we're team Mango! I hope you, Dancer and Guinevere can keep us safe out there, ehehe."[/color]
