4am was much too early an hour for Katsumi to be awake. She'd been sound asleep when the fox had entered her room, not even noticing its presence until it began to poke her. She groaned, pulling the covers over her head and and grumbling something about five more minutes. However, the fox was horribly stubborn and admirably persistent. "Bark, you must get up now, bark." it said, continuing to prod at her and pull the covers away. She, only for a moment, toyed with the idea of breaking the blasted thing before becoming offended by the fact that she'd even thought of doing such a thing.
"I'm up, I'm up," she said, weakly, as she pulled herself from her bed. After rubbing at her eyes and letting out a yawn, she glanced over at the alarm clock beside her bed. What on earth were the foxes thinking, waking them up at such an unholy hour? She let out a loud sigh, shooing the fox from her room so that she could get ready. She noticed its shadow still under the door after she'd closed it, probably attempting to make sure that she didn't crawl back in bed. "This must be really important," she whispered to herself, "if they're getting us up so early. I wonder what's going on...?" Tossing her pajamas onto her bed, she pulled on her usual black top and pink skirt. In her tiredness, she put the top on inside out and had to go back and fix it.
Once she was finally finished getting ready, she tossed open the door, forgetting all about the fox standing there and knocking the poor thing over. "Oh crap, so sorry!" she cried as she helped the little guy up. Despite being tired, she skipped off to the meeting room once she was sure that it was alright.
"Pettunie-chan!" she called as she walked in, waving rapidly at the doctor who had already taken a seat. As she'd forgotten her assigned seat, she decided it'd be okay if she plopped down next to Petunia. "I'm not too late, am I?" she asked, aware of just how untimely she could be. But it seemed she'd made it on schedule, as not many people seemed to be there yet. "Hmm," she said. "I wonder where Asimov and Captain Xue are? And what this big meeting's about. Do you know?"
