Balamb Garden

As Al was finnished, he dried himself wit ha towel.
As he was dry enough, he combed his hair (he has long hair ya know ^^)
He put on some deoderant, before he put on the clothes.
fastened his hair in a ponytail, fastened at the lower neck region-
After all, he was in uniform, and there where rules.

"*sigh* I guell I'll have to wait for Cid to call us" he mumbled to himself.
As he sat down on a nearby desk, nad fell asleep
 
Cole got out of the car the moment it stopped. He walked back towards the entrance on his own. A Garden Master was waiting for him by the main gate.
"Headmaster Cid wishes to speak to you emediately."
'So much for working on that report.'
Cole gave the Garden Master a quick salute and walked on. He headed straight back toward the elevator. Someone he had to wait for it to come back down, because someone had already taken it up. He turned around to see the rest of the people from the mission coming in. Xu was avoiding his gaze.
'Damn I really screwed this up didn't I?'
A bell rang and he turned around. The elevator door opened and he stepped in.
 
Enigma could hear Jimmy yelling at him from outside the bathroom,"Oh come on! I've only been in here for 5 minutes! You'll take an hour!" Enigma shouted back.
The water seemed to wash away his stress and pains. At least he could relax for a bit, it didn't matter how long it was for. Enigma wasn't a fan of staying in the shower and pruning up, so he decided to let Jimmy use it.
"Here you go, I guess I'll see you tomorrow!" Enigma joked and winked at Jimmy. His showers really did go on forever.

He threw his dirty SeeD uniform onto the bed, but unfortunately; next to his watch. The dirty pile propelled the watch into the air and out of the open dormitory door. "Shit! I need my watch..No one's gonna be in the hall, I'll have to run and get it in my towel..."
Sneakily, Enigma peeked around the corner of the door and initially could see no one. The coast was clear; time to run for it. Somehow the watch had made it a fair distance down the hall. "Go man! Run!" He scampered across the highly polished floor towards his precious watch. Enigma began to think this was his brother playing a trick on him somehow. Somewhere.
No more than a foot away from the watch, Enigma slipped and grabbed onto a rail to hold his balance; but not his towel. And obviously, people were now approaching. That stupid polished floor acted like a bowling alley and moved the towel away from him.
"Shit. Please tell me that's not Luana..." There he stood, clothless. Toweless and frozen on the spot. His ability to think under presure occasionally let him down.

Cole knew what Cid did not want to discuss the report just yet. If he had Xu would have also been in that elevator. This was going to be about taking the instructor position. Cole spent his time in the elevator thinking of how he could turn down the offer.
The elevator door slid open. Cid's office was right there. Cole took a deep breath and walked toward the door. a couple of the Garden Masters stepped out and headed back to the elevator.
'I wonder what they were talking about.'
When they were gone he stepped into the office.
"Ah Cole let's get down to business shall we." Cid's face carried a large smile.
"My answer is no."
"But you haven't heard what I have to say."
"You were about to ask me if I have changed my mind about becoming an instructor. My answer is no, I haven't. I still wish to stay a normal SeeD member."
"Well my boy, if you are so adamant about it, there is a mission where our client has asked specifically for you. You would be the only one going. It is a bogyguard position. You'll be taking care of a VIP for three weeks in Galbadian territory. You would leave first thing tomorrow. But of course if you were an instructor, I could tell them that you hav classes to teach, and then will take a couple of different SeeD members, ones less known the the Galbadian army."
'Damn bastard got me. He had this all set up for when I got back. I wouldn't doubt the VIP is his wife.'
"Fine," Cole spoke aloud. "I'll take the position."
"Excelent. You start tomorrow afternoon."
"And what is it exactly that I'm teaching."
"Ah you are to work on combat training and battle tactics. That's your field of specialty is it not."
A female voice spoke up from behind Cole.
"Excuse me sir. I have the report."
There stood Xu with a small stack of papers in her hand.
"Ah thank you Xu," Cid replied. "You may set them on my desk. I'll go over them with you in just a moment."
He turned to Cole and said, "You have been a great aspect to this Garden. I thank you. You are dismissed."
Cole saluted the headmaster and left the room.
'I can't believe he got me like that.'
By now Cole was not so much angry, but supprised of the cunning of the headmaster. When he reached Ground level he headed back toward his dorm. The was a letter there waiting for him.
It read:
Dear Cole,
Now that you are no longer just a member of SeeD, but and instructor, I am giving you the options of switching dorm rooms. If you wish to do so you will be placed into an instructor room, which is much larger than the one you currently reside. Please inform a Garden Master of your decision tomorrow morning. If you choose to change all of your things will be moved into you new room for you.
Sincerely,
Headmaster Cid
Cole walked into the room and shut the door. He took off his now red shirt and threw it onto his chair. He went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up. When he was done he laid down in his bed. This room was enough. he felt he didn't anymore than what he already had.
'I'll keep this room,' he thought to himself. And with that he closed his eyes an slept.
 
evan had seen cole go into headmaster Cid's office, and wondered if Cole was his replacement, "not my problem" evan took the elavator down to the ground floor and met his fan club
Evan: "well ladies im no longer an instructor so now i dont have to ignore you."
Fan girl leader: "thats good to hear, what should we do witcha instructor jacket."
Evan: "burn it, keep it, do whatever you want with it i dont kneed it. here is my cell fone number"
evan handed the fan girl leader a piece of paper then walked back to his dorm to put some clothes on.
when he arrived there was a Regular Seed member jacket on his door, he took it off the door and threw it on his bed. he then sent his mother a text message informing her of his dis-instructorship. when he got a message from the fan girl leader
Message: "your realy hot, can you meet me in the training area entrance"
evan grabbed his jeans stuck them on, spayed himself with antipersperant and grabbed a black sleeze less top he put the top on, on route to the training area
 
After what seemed like hours Damon headed back down the lift

Damon: when the hell is Cid calling us? Damn! he sure knows how to make us wait!

Damon kept ranting to himself until he was back in his room, he mainly settled down to clean up his weapons and keep them sharp, after he was finished he decided to walk to the library to get some knowledge for his future, SeeD or not, the information would help.

Damon looked for a book on battle tactics, what he did in the exam was disgraceful and he needed to revise his tactics in battle, he finally found one entitled "Tactics for extreme warfare" it seemed corny but it was worth a read, Damon sat down in one of the back chairs and began to read the book hoping to get some knowledge.
 
The sound of approaching people subsided, much to Enigma's delight. He grabbed his towel and watch, ran into the dorm, and slammed the door. "Phew, that was a close one."
He picked up the pile of clothes on the bed before hearing a noise from the Balamb Garden intercom:

"Could the following people report to Headmaster Cid's office: Jimmy, Damon, Arthvader, Cole, Enigma, Becca, Al, Luana and Evan. Thankyou."

They had clearly compiled the mission reports already. "Finally, now maybe I can stop stressing out over this!"
Enigma dumped his clean casual clothes and hopped into his SeeD uniform; once again. Headmaster Cid would blow a gasket if they turned up in casual wear. The pattering of water could still be heard from the bathroom, Jimmy was predictably showing still. There was no way he didn't hear the intercom though, it bellowed throughout the halls so that no one could avoid it.

"Jimmy, I'll see you up there man. Hurry up."
Perhaps he should have waited for Jimmy, but this gave Jimmy more than enough time to worry about his results. It would do him good.
Enigma set off for the elevator, still worrying about the mission, knowing full well there was nothing that could be changed now.
The hallway seemed endless, typical. Eventually, he made it to the elevator and entered the small luxurious pod. It flew up to Cid's office so fast, Enigma didn't have time to think about where he was!
"Holy crap! Have I just gone forward in time or something?!"

Xu and Zell were waiting for the SeeD's, the hopefuls and the few instructors. It eased Enigma's worries to see their kind faces, they had done it all before.
Without hesitation he entered the office and saw Cid, seated on his throne-like chair.

"Evening, Enigma. It seems you have a small wait for the others."
"Seems like I do...."
 
"Could the following people report to Headmaster Cid's office: Jimmy, Damon, Arthvader, Cole, Enigma, Becca, Al, Luana and Evan. Thankyou."

Damon: And that's my cue.

Damon replaced the book in it's respective shelf and set into a jog for the headmaster's office, he reached the elevator and hit 'FLOOR 3' and proceeded to Cid's office, Enigma was already there so he entered the room and saw Cid and stood on the right of the room and waited.

Cid: now that makes two, just be patient and soon you will get your results.
 
"Could the following people report to Headmaster Cid's office: Jimmy, Damon, Arthvader, Cole, Enigma, Becca, Al, Luana and Evan. Thankyou."

*zzzZZZzzz.... ZNORK!* Al was deeply asleep, had his name not been in the message he would most likely have slept trough it.

"aww. even the higher-ups call me Al. now cute" he said to himself in a sarcastic matter.
The higher-ups usually used his full first name. Al'umar. though this time they used Al. nothing big, just not used to it.

He got up from the chair, straightened out his uniform, and a quick hair check

"good. I don't look like a Yeti" he said, as he went towards the door.

As he grabbed the handle of the door, he hear a familiar sound from his window.
howl was back.
he opened the window, and let her in.

"Hey, girl. I cant stay, Cid have summoned us." he said to his companion.

As he turned, and again walked to the door, Howl flew onto his shoulder, and insisted on coming along.
Al was the only one that actually had been authorized to bring his 'pet' to more or less every part of Balamb. though the cafeteria ladies where not too happy about it.


As Al exited, he closed the door behind himself.
He walked to the elevator, entered, and took it up.
*dingg*
he exited, and stood before Cid's door.

"*sigh* might as well get it over with" he thought to himself.
he opened the door. Cid had his king's chair, Enigma and Damon was in there as well.

"Well. I'm not late at least" Al smiled as he entered
 
"Could the following people report to Headmaster Cid's office: Jimmy, Damon, Arthvader, Cole, Enigma, Becca, Al, Luana and Evan. Thankyou."

Arthvader "About time. I might as well head towards the headmaster's office."

Arthvader, relaxed after all the training he had, he left the training grounds and started heading towards Cid's office. As he was heading towards the office, he started having some thoughts.

'I wonder what Cid wants with me? It's probably something important that he wanted to say to all of us.'

When he arrived at Headmaster Cid's office, he noticed some of his other comrades in there as well.

Arthvader "Hey there, guys. What's this all about, headmaster Cid?"
 
"Could the following people report to Headmaster Cid's office: Jimmy, Damon, Arthvader, Cole, Enigma, Becca, Al, Luana and Evan. Thankyou."

Jimmy was singing in the shower when he heard the announcement...
Jimmy:"Crap i have to hurry!!!!!!!" He walked out of the shower but slipped and landed on his head knocking himself out for a few seconds, he finally regained his senses...
Jimmy:"Ahhh...what???? OHHH NOOOOOOO THE CALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He dressed as fast as he could and walked out of the dorm with no pants, noticing that he had no pants on he runed back into the dorm and slid them in and sprinted to the elevators.
As soon as he reached the top he put his cool look on, but he tripped and fell head first against the floor.
Jimmy:"Ouch....darn this small steps i missed them." As Jimmy looked up he saw everyone including Headmaster Cid and the others looking at him with a weird look.
Jimmy:"I'm sorry...i tripped and i fell and i took a shower and fell again....ahhhh...ok i´ll just join the line then."
Jimmy joined the line of cadets thinking on how he had just ruined his life in a few seconds...

 
The announcement woke him up. Cole sat for a moment.
'I thought we already took care of things.'
He got up and dressed himelf in his new instrucors uniform. Someone had placed it in his closet while he was out. He took his time getting ready, and headed up towards Cid's office. When he got up there it seemed that most of the others were already there waiting. He didn't say a word. Cole just walked in and stood in his place. He noticed that Xu would not even make eye contact with him.
'I'll have to make it up to her later.'
 
Damon saw everyone starting to gather, it seemed odd that everyone was not yet present,after a moment he saw Jimmy, usually the cocky one who played it 'cool' he seemed to have made a complete fool of himself in his entrance.

Damon Ahem, Cid, can we get started on this?
 
The two leading ladies arrived at the Headmaster's office no later than ten minutes after the announcement. They could have made it in five or even less, but as protocol required, they were not to present themselves to the leading staff members without the proper attire--and make up.

Beccalyn and Luana took short strides, clicking their heels in unison as they approached the crowd who had made it earlier. They kept to themselves mostly, disregarding all forms of courtesy until the meeting officially began.

They donned new sets of student uniforms, having tossed out the old from the mission. They, however, maintained their signature styles. Luana still had the figure-complementing pants to her outfit, and Beccalyn's skirt border-lined the rules. Despite their minor injuries, their faces showed no signs of pain or discomfort, even as they shifted their postures. They had each other to thank for that, having applied the necessary treatment to their wounds while in the shower room together. Dressing, bandaging and even suturing was much easier when nude.

Suddenly, the one in the miniskirt giggled. Luana's response was a long stare and then an knowing smile.

"That was nice. . ." Beccalyn swooned, still affected by the full body massage that Luana masterfully performed.
 
Cid analysed the group standing before him. A small grin spread across his face as he stood up from his luxurious chair.

"Thank you all for coming. I know you must all be exhausted from your mission, but now you have a brief chance to rest. To begin, I would like to thank you all for you professionalism and your completion of the mission. This was no small order by any means and you all carried yourselves fantastically."

Enigma felt a massive weight lift from his shoulders. receiving these kind words from the headmaster could only be a good thing, surely. Still, the atmosphere was suffocating. Everyone was still tense with nerves.
In Enigma's mind in particular, he felt this moment could plan his life in the short term future. Not too much pressure then.

Cid stepped closer to them, "I expect you are all itching to hear your results? I shan't keep you waiting then:

A very solid display Al'umar. You were involved every step of the mission, providing cover and support when needed. Perhaps if anything needed to be changed, it would be the tendency to be drawn into unnecessary battles, no? Still, good job.

Arthvader
Decisions: 7/10
Participation: 6/10
Recklessness: 4/10
Leadership: 5/10
Mission Rank: SeeD rank 4
Overall Rank: SeeD rank 5

Arthvader, your decision to battle Odin was questionable. However, you were not alone in this. I was not happy in general with the decision by anybody to battle Odin. Granted, he is dangerous; but not our priority.
On the other hand, you assisted your colleagues with what could have been a disastrous situation. Well done.

Beccalyn
Decisions: 8/10
Participation: 7/10
Recklessness: 2/10
Leadership: 3/10
Mission Rank: SeeD rank 5
Overall: SeeD rank 5

Beccalyn, considering you were not a fully fledged SeeD; this was very impressive. You did not make any rash decisions and your skills in battle were brilliant. Perhaps the lack of experience prevented you from assisting in the apprehension of Raidrin; but you are not to blame for this. I am pleased to promote you to a SeeD. Good job.

Cole
Decisions: 4/10
Participation: 6/10
Recklessness: 5/10
Leadership: 7/10
Overall: Instructor bonus~ 2000 gil

Cole, a mixed bag. Diving off of the boat and swimming to shore was stupid. I apologize for being so blunt, but I expected more from an instructor; you have students learning from you! However, your leadership skills aside from this event and your ability in battle, redeemed you. I am a great admirer of your enthusiasm for battle and appreciate your skill; just work on your decision making. Otherwise, exactly what I would expect from an instructor.

Damon
Decisions: 6/10
Participation: 8/10
Recklessness: 4/10
Leadership: 3/10
Mission Rank: SeeD rank 4
Overall: SeeD rank 4

Damon. Over the years I have watched you develop into what I hoped would be a quality member of SeeD. Unfortunately the pressure of the mission seems to have gotten to you. That, and the guidance of your instructor. Your passion and enthusiasm is unquestionable. I personally believe you are an exciting young talent which can only benefit Balamb Garden. It is your tendency to jump into needless battles that concerns me. SeeD is not all about bloodshed and violence. Quite the opposite; and you know this. This being said, you are still being promoted to a member of SeeD. We know you can do it, and so do you; well done.

Enigma
Decisions: 8/10
Participation: 7/10
Recklessness: 4/10
Leadership: 4/10
Mission Rank: Seed rank 4
Overall Rank: SeeD rank 7

Ah, Enigma. Generally I was pleased with your performance. You got straight to the task at hand and used strategy rather than brute force, when needed. Personally, I was hoping to see more leadership qualities from yourself. You seem to have taken Jimmy under your wing lately, and that is great, but you must remember there are other students needing guidance from people such as you.

Evan
Decisions: 6/10
Participation: 8/10
Recklessness: 6/10
Leadership: 6/10
Overall: Stripped of instructor status

I want everyone to listen. As you all can see, Evan is not present. You may have also heard through the grapevine about an altercation between myself and Evan on return to the Garden, today. This has resulted in Evan being stripped of his instructor status. The decision pending at the moment is whether he should remain at Balamb Garden at all, or whether he should become a SeeD. I for one know of his talent. He has the power of the GF's on his side and has a mean streak in battle; this is why he was an instructor to begin with. However, this is the road I want none of you to go down. Evan has pushed his luck incredibly. Other people will not be so lucky.

Jimmy
Decisions: 8/10
Participation: 8/10
Recklessness: 4/10
Leadership: 3/10
Mission Rank: SeeD rank 5
Overall Rank: SeeD rank 5


I have been looking forward to this report. Jimmy, it is clear to see how nervous you are, and how much becoming a SeeD means to you. In this mission, you performed like a SeeD. If anything, you were too willing to involve yourself in the thick of it! To take on Raidrin was going to be a big task for anybody and for a student to assist; that was risky to say the least. For such a young age, you don't half pack a punch it seems. Xu commented on your strength and skill in battle; she says you are definately one for the future. Your performance has merited you the rank of SeeD my boy; you earned it.

Luana
Decisions: 7/10
Participation: 6/10
Recklessness: 2/10
Leadership: 4/10
Mission Rank: SeeD rank 5
Overall Rank: SeeD rank 5

Paired with Beccalyn, you two are a force to be reckoned with! More importantly, individually you are an asset to Balamb Garden. Your agility and quality in battle is incredible; something we cannot get enough of. Inexperience seems to be your main hindrance, but is something that will disappear over time. Well done, you are now a SeeD.


The hard part was finally over. Funnily enough, the hard part was not even the mission; it was the waiting. Pleased with his report, Enigma released a huge sigh of relief. He was pleased for everyone; they all deserved it. There was somewhat of a question mark over Evan's future however...

"I'd like to congratulate you all on a job well done. Well done in particular to Beccalyn, Damon, Jimmy and Luana; on becoming SeeD's. You've earned the privilege, now show us you deserve it. That is all for now. Dismissed."

Cid's final rallying speech was a good one. A morale boosting one at that.
"I wonder how everyone else is feeling?"

OOC: WOO. severely good job on the SeeD scores Damo. I didnt think it would be this detailed. ^^
--------------------------------
Al was rather happy with his scores. he had acctually expected lower scores for overusing his powers.

Al felt pleased. Like a ton had been lifted of his shoulders, but this was just the expectations. now that he also knew his scores, and high scores it was as well. Though, he was not one to boast about it, it took it like he did his job, and left it at that.

He took Cid's advise to heart, and would try to avoid unnessesairy battles in the future.

thoguh, the wondering feeling on how the others took it, would still be for time to show
 
Evan arrived late and saw the end of the report and what scores he got "i have to do it." evan walked over to headmaster Cid and apologised then he went to the main gate of balamb and summoned Diablo,
Diablo: "where is the fight evan?"
Evan: "there isn't one"
Diablo: "so you wish to travel to him?"
Evan: "yes, we cant continue fighting alone"
Diablo: "you are aware of the consequences,"
Evan: "yes i must realese all but one of my GF's"
Evan then summoned the rest of his GF's and started talking to them all
Evan (to all GF's): "you guys know what this is about dont you"
carbuncle nodded, the three heads of cereberus looked to the floor and leviathan nodded
Doomtrain: "i am no longer in your service" he then dissmissed himself
Evan: "doomtrain was right"
evan looked at all his GF's, with a tear in his eye and diablo stood behind him"
Evan: "it isn't fair on all of you to be with me if i never summon you, so you are all realesed from my services"
all the summons asides Diablo vanished
Diablo: "get some rest, we shall go in the morning"
 
Before leaving the palace-like office, Enigma took a seat in the waiting room just outside. It had been a long day and he was exhausted. His piercing blue eyes were red with tiredness and his posture reflected that feeling as well.
Evan had appeared briefly, and left. God knows what was going on in his head. It wasn't Enigma's problem, he had his own things to worry about.
The tannoid started to crackle faintly:

"Don't forget, all SeeD members, Instructors, faculty and guests of the previously mentioned; are invited to tomorrow tonight's customary SeeD Celebration Ball. It takes place at 8pm, don't be late!"

"Shite, I forgot about that. I've not got anyone to go with!"
Not one to feel sorry for himself, Enigma jumped up and brushed down his clothes, knowing full well there was nothing on them. It was a kind of habit. The SeeD Celebration Ball was a glitzy, sparkly event for everyone to mingle and 'celebrate' their success in the mission and ultimately celebrate their induction into SeeD. Already being a SeeD, there seemed to be no point in going; that is, if it wasn't mandatory for SeeD's.
"At least I've got time to sleep and rest up a bit. I can have hot dogs in the morning! Yeah!"
He jumped in the air with his fist held high. Nothing raised his spirits like an artery clogging cafeteria hot dog.

Damon left the room with his report in his side pocket and left the office and took the elevator, a bit upset about not getting a higher grade, still he had been made a SeeD.

"Don't forget, all SeeD members, Instructors, faculty and guests of the previously mentioned; are invited to tomorrow tonights customary SeeD Celebration Ball. It takes place at 8pm, don't be late!"

Damon: Damn, guess I shouldn't worry too much, may as well go and rest up.

Damon stepped out of the elevator once he was on FLOOR 1 and walked to his dormitory, once he was there he quickly undressed and layed in his bed and slept.
 
As the crowd where to leave, Evan popped in, and left as fast as he arrived. not thinking of buttin in, Al didnt give it too mutch though.

AS he exited the doors, and whent towards the elevator,

"Don't forget, all SeeD members, Instructors, faculty and guests of the previously mentioned; are invited to tomorrow tonights customary SeeD Celebration Ball. It takes place at 8pm, don't be late!"

"yeah. dont be late, thus, this has to be some mandatory thing" Al though to himself.

Though, He didnt have anyone to go with, he didnt like these things, AND, he couldnt dance, still, he sorta had to go there.

"*sigh* I guess its you and me" he sarcastically said to Howl, witch infact seemed happy with this.

he whent to his dorm, and awaited the ball thingie.

"hmm," he looks at the time "I guess Ill take a shower"
He hadn't done any physicall thing, though the waiting alone made him sweat.

As he was done, he brushed his hair, put on a pair of pants, and laid down on the bed
.

"howl, can you wake me 30 min before this thing starts?" he sorta asks his companion.
She was acctually able to tell the time, since Al had a clock on the wall.
this would not be the first time she would work as his alarm clock.

At that, he slumbered away
