Room 119 - Nika's Quarters

Nika places her duffel bag on the ground with a thud and looks around the room. It's not all that different than her room back at the military academy, really. Nicer for sure, but two beds, desks, small closet, the basic idea's the same. She starts unpacking and sorting her things in the appropriate places. Clothes properly folded and sorted in the closet, not so much because she likes things to be neat but more so she doesn't have to dig through a pile of stuff every morning just to find something to wear. She likes to know where to find things. A couple of books and a laptop go on the desk, nothing too out of the ordinary. School books and a couple of books on martial arts. Work stuff.

Wedged between the books is a folded up piece of thin cardboard that she pulls out and unfolds. She holds it up against the wall between bed and desk and produces four small nails. Holding the piece of paper in place with one hand she moves her other hand to each corner of it, leaving behind a nail hovering in place each time. Once all four are in place she closes her hand into a fist and the four nails drive themselves into the wall and fix the piece of paper in place. She takes a step back and looks it over. A schedule, some of it erased to be filled in once she knows the exact times for her and Katarina's classes, but a basic framework is still in place. She might have to adjust some of this and the evening would depend on Katarina's plans that she'd have to plan her workout routine around, but as a starting point it should suffice.

05:30 Basic warm-up body-weight routine
05:45 Morning Run
06:15 Shower
06:30 Get dressed/Breakfast
07:00 Free time until Katarina is ready




20:00 Work-out
21:00 Power training/experimentation
22:00 Review schoolwork/Read
23:00 Sleep



All that set up she pulls a smaller bag from the olive-green duffel bag. This one is black cloth and makes metallic clinking noises as she places it on the bed. Undoing two straps on it she unrolls it, revealing an arrangement of metal rods held in place by cloth loops on the inside of the roll-up bag. Most of them are about 5 inches long, about 1/8th of an inch thick and made of stainless steel. A number of them seem to come in pairs, connected by a loose strip of flexible material and two rods are a little bigger, attached to a rope that's currently wrapped around them for storage. Bolts for straight up attacking people she hopefully won't need but isn't stupid enough to not have, just in case. A couple restraining bolts meant to be used in tandem to staple people limbs to surfaces without injuring them. Grappling bolts, just in case. And finally there are four larger metal rods. Two of them have a grip on one end, two loops of fabric attached towards each end and a flexible, coushioned end piece. She picks one of them up and inspects it to make sure it didn't get bend, then places her elbow int he end-piece, holds the grip and straps the rod to her arm so it sits parallel to her forearm. She turns and twists her arm a little to make sure everything still fits properly, then takes it off and puts everything away again, placing the whole package between the bed and the nightstand, so it'll be within easy reach.

The last thing out of the big duffel bag are a bunch of paperback books, some of them worn, others newer. She seems to think for a moment, then shoves them underneath the bed.
