Maigo
D-rank
Maigo left his room in the resort after going through his morning routine, wearing his normal clothing and keeping his ninja gear on hand he now had the existential struggle before him on what he should do; he could spend the day relaxing before the exams, but then comes the risk of getting soft just before it begins. On the other hand, he could spend the day training but that would tire him out before the exam, and possibly lower the quality of his performance. He continued his mental banter as he walked down the stairs, carpeted with wood railings, fairly nice as random people walked past him and he continued on. His feet landed hard against the steps with each step down but they were soft enough that nothing more than a patting sound against the floor. His head drooped as he watched his feet move across the ground. Exiting the stairwell and entering the lobby, he entered a well-lit area, at first he looked around to see if any of his fellow Kiri comrades had gotten up or gotten ready for today. As he looked around the area he found no one that he immediately recognized, deciding to go and enjoy breakfast instead. Once he sat down with his plate he noticed the time, 10:30 am, it was no wonder he saw no one, they were probably all long gone, and it also explains why there was only cold food at the breakfast bar.
He sat there for a moment sipping on his orange juice and eating his toast that he spread some butter and jelly on. People coming in and out, reading the newspaper and just hanging out around the area. Soon they would clear things out and clean up for the lunch crowd, and that would be all the motivation he needed to get up and leave. Headed for the door out of the lobby, crowds of people coming in and out, he tried to file in as best he could into the line of people exiting. He left the resort, a cool wind blew into his hair, after such a lackadaisical morning it was nice to be outside, for however long that may last. Now staring up at the mountain-side he sighed as he stood there to the side of the resort, his existential struggle of figuring out what to do today was now back in full swing. Today is the kinda day where I wish that something would happen, keep me busy. I wonder if I go back to bed if I'll be able to sleep for 20 hours straight? he said to himself chuckling at the last sentence as his eyes wandered over the edge of the mountain and he thought about what he was going to do.
