Sara pulled Alistar into line. Grabbing her tray, she nodded at Order. She scanned the food, but nothing looked better than before.

"So where we sitting?"

Order looked back, "Were sitting over there, in between a couple of Hydra soldiers and looks like badger soldiers, don't worry about them though." he said as he pointed in that direction, as the cafe piled on his food.

"Just as long as I don't see Squirrel or Rat, I'm fine" she stuck her finger in something that was just put on her plate. Eating it, she realized it was the same stuff they'd had earlier. She sighed.

Order laughed, "Just like that old game I heard about in the battleroom, 'capture the rat' sounds funny doesn't it?"

He left the line and sat down at the table. He started to eat and looked around to see if any one else was comming in a hurry.

Todd grabbed a plate, but with very little food on it, and then sat with Order and Sara. He looked up at Order and smiled ever so slightly.

"He wasn't today at practice, that's for sure."

"He speaks!"

He laughed a little.

"Just kidding."

Greg grabbed his food and sat with the rest of Flame.

"Well if we do every battle like that practice we are sure to win them all!" Greg laughed and and sat down, beginning his second helping of pig slop that day. He laughed. They recycled EVERYTHING up here didn't they?

"Well thats a good thing, because we will be practicing like that almost all the time. Except next time, im going to make it alot harder, and im going to make you guys work as a team." He took a drink and set down the cup, and started eating a little faster.

Todd finished with his... food... if it could be called that, and got up to throw it away. He moved to the trash can and tossed it, tray and all, not bothering to fetch the tray out of the trash can. He sat back down at the table and then looked at the clock.

"I've got quantum mechanics 3 in five minutes," he muttered and left. He'd meet back up with them in the barracks later.

Order was somewhat gad to see Todd go, since his decision was at hand he hated to see soldiers walk away.

As soon as Todd left the room, Order finished eating and then said,

"Well, I will now announce the toon leaders of Flame army.

Toon A, Gregory
Toon B, Mere
Toon C, Nuke
and Toon D, Sara

I apologize for any one wanting to be a leader an did not become one, but thus is the ways of skill."

He started a little applaud but doubted if any ne would join.

Greg almost choked when he heard the announcement. Toon Leader! And of A Toon no less. He was only a launchy tranfer too! Well, now was the time for him to see if he had the mettle to command. To do what was neccesary.

Greg joined in Order's round of applause. He had no doubt that Saint and Mere would become Toon Leaders as well. Saint was a great soldier and Mere had all but led her team in the Battle Room. "Thanks Order. I'll make sure to make it the best Toon in the army!" And he meant it.

Order was a little concerned about everyone else.

"Greg, at the moment Todd is in your toon. Alistair, your in Mere's toon. Also i'd like everyone to know that the toons are not set up as rank, but by skill."

He picked up his glass which was already half-empty, or half-full depends on how you look at it.

"Cheers to all the soldiers in Flame!"

"We'll see about that Greg!" Greg was thrilled with a little healthy competiton. It would make his Toon and himself work that much harder. He raised his glass with Order and cheered "Here here! To the bright future of Flame!" For he knew it would be one.

Order laughed,

"Well unfortuneately the main dish has to come with the side dish." He said refering to classes and relaxation.

He got up and walked to the trash can and dumped his food in. He returned the tray as delighted as can be.

Order, remember to maintain order you have to calm the up roarers. His concious spoke to him, he felt a little guilty that not all could be toon leaders, yet he would have to go on the side and cheer people up.

Mere smiled as she sat down to eat with the others and right as Order said she wasa toon leader she let out a little chuckle. "SWEET!"

"Hey Order you said the toons are aranged by skill, right? So who works on what?"she said."Just FMI."

Order turned around,

"Well it depemds on who does best in which situation. You seem to be good at formations, and also remember, each practice is more like a battle then a practice, so we focus on all sides."

Order smiled, glad she understood.

"I plan on working on all my points, mainly formations. So next time, don't be surprised if we have groups."

He walked to the door and opened it.

"I would like Flame to head to the barracks now, to prepare for classes."

Sara took her time, classes weren't hard at all. Back home, school was a breeze. Most of the teachers didn't care anyway, the kids certainly didn't. Up hear, they were more difficult, and she had to listen closely, but she could do the work easy enough. By now she was at the door. Nodding at Order, she continued to the barracks.

Lex walked by down to the mess after a brief run. He had almost considered moving to the Commander's Mess but decided against it. He needed a battle or two under his belt first. He weaved his way through a Flame soldier or two and got in line.

He sat down with his food and ate, not even tasting the food as he continued to think about the day. He was still royaly p***** that the Centipede battle had been a fraud, and that Tide had been given a loss because of it. He remembered when Serpent had been a thorn in Tide's side. Lex intended to keep it that way. They had been climbing the board for weeks and were now holding steady in third place. Maybe with Lex's help and his new kids he could bump them up a place or two. Lex took a bite and realized that he had already finished. So with nothing to do he threw out his tray and ran to the Battle Room. Maybe he could get in a light work out before soldiers started turning up. And maybe he could figure out just what the heck he could do with them.

Mere walked in after a awsome win in the battle room. She got in line with her toon and picked up a tray. She saw Lena get in line behind her.

"Hey Lena!" she smiled,"You did an awsome job today."

Lena blushed a little. "Thanks."
....................................................................................................

Todd walked in with his toon and got in line with Mere.

Order practically jogged in and went straight to the lunch line, the sooner he got his food, the sooner he could talk.

He waited behind everyone in Flame and then announced the table he was going to sit at.

"Flame is sitting near the back, understood?"

Greg walked in with his toon just in time to hear where they would be siting. "Alright A Toon, get some grub and report back to Order. Dismissed!"

Greg got up in line behind some of his soldiers and got his food, then went back to the assigned tables and sat down with the other Toon Leaders.

Order got his food and walked over to his table, when he sat he awaited the other toon leaders before he would spark up what he was planning to teach in the next practice.

He picked up his fork and shuvled the food into his mouth and took drinks quickly.

The second Sara sat down, she wolfed down her roll. Finally, actual food.

Saint remembered back home, there was a bakery down the street, with the sweetest bread in the world. Or at least Chicago. The owners gave her and her brother free samples all the time. This roll was no where near as good, but it was food.

Seeing several people staring at her, Sara shrugged.

"Were we being serious or something?" she asked, getting a few laughs.

Order looked up as the rest of the army sat down he finished his food in a flash and washed it all down, avoiding the taste with water.

"All right, after breakfast tommorow morning we go to practice again. This time, we will work on chances and survival, rather then all out battle. Untill lights out, your free to roam. For people who don't know lights out is about a hour or two away."

OOC- Wrong person Calc.

Sara quickly finished her food, and heard Mere ask for a race as she was throwing her tray out.

"Mere sooner or later I'll either collapse from all these races or we'll get caught." she grinned "I'll take the risk" and dashed out of the mess.

It was like the second he said 'your free' everybody got up and ran away. Order laughed to him self. He got up and threw away his food after he was done eating it. He took a deep breath and walked solemly around the battle school.

Gihorn moved slowly, taking his time as he selected a spot in the Mess that wasn't to crowded. He settled on a seat near enough to Flame Army that he wouldn't be pegged as a loner, but not so close that he would be engaged in whatever conversation thay were having. Several soliders from his old launch group waved to him casually, and he nodded at them, finishing up his bland portion of food at the same time

Vic jogged into the mess and headed straight for the queue. She was given a trayful of...well, it looked like rat meat, but that was impossible. Even the IF wouldn't dare feeding them what even pigs would turn away. Vic shrugged to herself as she walked towards the table where several Serpents were already sitting. She sat down across from Lex, and started eating, trying to keep her mind away from her plate.
