challengesfate: (what...who...?)

[It is with renewed calm and determination that Lucina wakes on Wednesday, and she has one goal in mind - to write down the numerous goals for herself that she has. Keeping them all in her head would only serve to make her panicked, and that was the last thing she needed if she was going to escape by alternative, non-murder means.

In the morning, Lucina takes some time to linger in the Art Room, procuring a basic notebook and pencil and making two side-by-side lists. The one on the left: Things I Understand, and underneath, anyone passing by can see that she's written down things like "How the door to my quarters opens", "The small personal latrine" (oh thank Gods), and "How the womens' showering room works". The other list, Things I Don't Understand, is much more lengthy, and every once in a while she adds more to it, the pauses in between spent with a hand on her chin as she thinks. Maybe see if you can help her shorten that list, or at least distract her for a bit?

At lunchtime, Lucina is actually around in the cafeteria. She's taken the notebook and pencil with her, and seems to be...making an attempt to eat the food they've been provided with, but...when you're accustomed to hunting for whatever you can find and cooking it with minimal means, and when soup is a luxury, you don't really encounter a lot of what serves as hot cafeteria food. It looks like she's at least taken a little bit of everything just to try what's here, but judging by her attempt to mask the face she makes after taking a bite of macaroni and cheese, it's...definitely far too rich for her tastes. Still, it's important to eat, but...hopefully she doesn't get sick...

For the rest of the day, Lucina takes up a chair in the library to read. What, you might ask? Well...a lot of introductory books on technology and space. Very introductory. As simple as she could find, because she wants to get her footing with some of this stuff, but the simplest things here...might as well be for preteens, given the ridiculous cover image of the one in her hands. It looks pretty silly, a young woman openly reading a kids' book. Please feel free to call her out on it.]
