🦁 Mornings at Cherryton

Jinx's eyes opened, staring up at the dorm ceiling. She got up, putting together her outfit for the day's classes. She chose to wear the male uniform like before, going to get stuff. She checked her bag for the mane products Free sent with her. Heading down to the girls' showers. She had a towel, her uniform, and shower bag ready. She felt so tired, dragging her feet. She didn't even hear Vi follow her, slowly making her way down the stairs. She saw the door, heading in and getting ready to take her shower.

Vi saw how tired Powder was, taking a shower with her and helping massage the mane shampoo into her scalp. She watched as Powder slowly began to fall asleep before jolting awake. She stood up, rinsing out the soap before gently the conditioner through. Vi handed her the comb, letting Powder remove any knots. Meanwhile, Vi took care of herself as more came in. Juno and Sheila were quietly talking, tired as well. She saw how long Powder's hair had gotten, just past her shoulder blades and still just as vibrant as ever.

Jinx turned off the water after washing her body, grabbing the towel and drying off. She headed towards the door to the lockers to change into her uniform after fully drying off. Vi was getting into her suit, then began to brush her hair. Jinx rested her forehead against a locker, falling asleep as Vi pulled her hair into two braids.

Vi heard Powder softly snoring, making her smile. Once done, she pulled Powder from the locker. "I'm done." Powder's eyes slowly opened, grabbing her school bag and heading to the school store. Vi followed, seeing her order a coffee. "Aren't you a little young for coffee?" The koala school owner questioned with a bit of concern. Powder stared at her, asking for the coffee one more time with egg sandwiches and onigiri with pickled plums. She handed over her money, putting the egg sandwiches in her bag and taking the onigiri and coffee.

Jinx sat at a bench, sipping her coffee and nibbling on one of the onigiri. "Can I have one?" Vi questioned, her stomach rumbling. Jinx handed one to her, letting her eat. Jinx got to the pickled plums, smiling and savoring the sour cherry flavor. She saw Agata approach with a coffee, sitting to her right. "You sure look tired." Agata commented, Jinx giving a small smile. "Very. I shouldn't have eaten all those rice cakes... But they're so delicious." Jinx mumbled, leaning her head against Agata's shoulder.

Ekko opened his eyes, finding himself alone in Powder's dorm room. He pulled open the curtains, finding them by the school store at a bench. His stomach rumbled, finding that Agata left him a bowl of rice that were almost like an oatmeal in texture with a couple of eggs for eyes and a carrot-bacon for the smile. He found a note, telling him to eat up. He ate the hot food slowly, smiling. He was going to enjoy his stay at Cherryton with Powder and Vi.
