The mess hall. The home of dining, chivalry, and ettiquete. Descending the staircase leading to the hall, Janine Kirrity Lolligo von Minstrel gave her white wrist length gloves a tug on her soldier's uniform. No longer a Neophyte, she had a new outfit to match. Though she can't say she liked some parts of it. Certainly a skirt should be either form fitting, or done shorter to help in ease of movement. But a form fitting miniskirt was both of them and that wasn't a good thing. The dress was part of her low cut top, which she could see for some of the other girls in the guild as being neccesary to display their guild mark, but it just made her even more self concious about any looks she got, especially with the bare legs. But it wasn't all doom an gloom about the uniform. Not only did it feel elegant and formal like she was used to back home, but it was also fresh from the laundry and still had that faint whiff of blueberries. A little touch she had when she did her own uniforms. She loved the symetrical asymmetry of the coat. The right side as white and longer on the side. The left was red, shorter, and had gold leaf vines strewn across it. The collar was taller to her right, which was a pain for perrfirial vision, but it was out far enough to where it didn't offer any immediate challenge. The golden pauldrons were a classic touch of elegant military. The jacket also had a train that, like a cape, went down to her ankles, which were elevated by the heels she wore. The red belt slash sash and golden broach closing the jacket had great visual appeal as well.
As she looked around, she found the mess hall line was already forming. Apparently the Mess cook had a new Waffle iron and could churn out four golden delicous pastries in four seconds. There was Bacon, eggs, ham, sausage, and fruit to go along with it. Then there was a few coffee pots, and milk jugs in ice to the side. A while ago, she would have been in heaven. Waffles were her most favorite of childhood foods. However a Metal Goddess had a unfortunatly strict diet. So even for this breakfast, she had to brown bag it, so to speak. Walking over to a table, she sat down and set her food bag on the table, pulling out a ceramic plate, bowl, fork and spoon, and then setting a few disk of copper on the tray. each one a centimeter thick and beaten into pliancy. In the bowl she poured from a box about a cup of copper bolts. With that out of the way, she carried the bowl to the milk station and poured some over the bolts. What savage ate cereal dry anyway?
