When Roseanne heard the ringing of her alarm the next morning, there was a different feeling, something almost nostalgic arising in her chest. Raven was still asleep by her side and she gently shook him awake. He was a heavy sleeper and would sometimes even slept through his alarms back during their training days as well. He tightened his eyes shut, refusing to wake up that early on the morning of their mission taking off into space. He groaned and turned over to face away from her. "Five more minutes please." He begged her in a sleepy voice and she rolled her eyes playfully, thinking to herself that giving him a couple more minutes wouldn't hurt. That would give her time to hop in the shower and leave it available by the time he got up.

When she emerged from the shared bathroom in their dorm for what was the last time, wrapped in a pastel pink towel that matched with her short hair, she noticed that he was already sitting up in their bed sleepily rubbing his eyes. She smiled at him warmly and he got up, running a hand through his raven black hair. He had a bit better use of his mechanical arm now, but he'd only had it for a week or two at most. Roseanne worried that it would bother him during the mission because there would be no concise medical help for them while on board the space ship. Of course, each person had an assigned job. Scarlet and Indy were going to be in charge of food, to make sure that all the food machines on the ship were well stocked. That was so that the crew members could merely press a button and have a whole meal presented to them in a matter of seconds. Ivory and Raven were in charge of laundry—putting the clothes in the wash, taking them out, folding, and sorting them into separate baskets for each crew member to take. Honey and Ciel were in charge of first aid and minor medical issues. Mauve and Sage was in charge of machinery and making sure all the machines on board wre working properly.

Each crew member was in charge of keeping their own bedrooms clean and neat, but Roseanne and Seville were assigned with keeping the whole ship clean. Olive and Cedar were in charge of cleaning the bathrooms and getting rid of any waste on the ship. They had been tasks randomly assigned by administration for them, and everyone had gotten paired up with people they either didn't like or were not comfortable with because they didn't talk to them much.

Raven mumbled a sleepy good morning to Roseanne as he passed her to go into the bathroom. It was only minutes after he entered that there was a knock on the door. Roseanne held her towel seucrely around herself and opened the door slowly to see there were two cardboard boxes outside waiting for them. One was solid black and the other cyan, with their respective color names on there as well. She grabbed the black box and dragged it into the room, leaving the cyan one outside because it was clearly for Ciel and not her. They would have to do a switch of items in a few minutes, since administration thought the room arrangments were the same as they were before. Roseanne's box was probably at the other end of the hall, at the room she used to share with Honey.

She left it alone for the moment and dried herself off before searching for something comfortable to wear. As she did that, there was another knock on her door minutes later and when she went to open it, she realized the cyan box was no longer there and in its place was a pink one. Ciel had probably come by to pick up his box, and either Honey or Seville had come by to drop off Roseanne's box.

She brought the box inside the room and opened it up. Her pink astronaut suit was inside, complete with its helmet and an oxygen pack in the form of a backpack she could wear. They were to wear those at all times while on the ship in case of emergencies and could only take them off to shower or sleep. Roseanne already thought it was burdensome since the material was a bit heavy, and she thought they could just run drills every once in a while so that they could learn to put the suits on quickly in case of an emergency situation. Underneath were three sets of pajamas for her to sleep in, a set of underwear, although they had been told there were more clothes on the ship but it would one set of clothes would be available to them every six months and it would be Ivory and Raven's jobs to distribute them. There were some shoes, three training uniforms, two formal uniforms for special occasions, and three bathing suits.
