Dalton Academy for Boys - a Glee RPG

Who: Alph & Austin
Where: closest bar to the airport
What: Alph promised Austin a drink as soon as he returned from Nashville.
When: (Backdated) Sunday, April 8th, evening
Rating: should be SFW

"You always struck me as a sort of free spirit," Alphonse commented. "One that would never cease to run wild, much less settle down. Though, marriage doesn't mean there's no room for traversing the globe together, I suppose." He could envision it already, the newlywed couple hovering above the world in a hot air balloon or something of that sort. One might think that he'd have a sense of envy to balance his enthusiasm for his colleague, but Alphonse held nothing but joy. It truly was heartwarming to see Austin with someone he loved.

He held the door for Austin and insisted that he head on in first. The place they had agreed upon was a small establishment, nothing glitzy or overwhelming in its presentation. In a way, it was actually rather homey. The lights were dim and the chatter stood between quiet murmurs and raucous laughter. All they needed was a drink or two.

Who: Lincoln (Mr. H) & Alphonse
Where: it's always a cafe, but first, Mr. H's office!
What: Mr. H probably isn't thinking about himself before the kids. Time to de-stress with a cup of joe.
When: Monday, March 21st, after classes
Rating: SFW

Maintaining a correspondence with the Hayter family was taxing enough without seeking someone to fit Harry's post. Alphonse had been buried up to his eyes in numerous tasks. Had he a list to keep track of everything, it'd roll off his table and straight out the door. Granted, most of them were long-term goals, but each one required a vigilant eye to keep them on track.

He thought to take some time off from all the running around. He wasn't the only one feeling the stress, however, and he thought to invite one of his colleagues along. Ever the gentlemen, Alphonse knocked before letting himself in. "Good afternoon. Might I be able to steal you for a few hours?"

Good morning, Mr. Kirkland,

I'm afraid Mr. Johnson is very ill.  He was taken to Westerville General yesterday, and I do not anticipate that he will be able to return to work this week.  Coverage will be necessary for all of his classes.

Who: GI and Alphonse
What: They Discuss Deep Things
Where: In the Library
When: Tuesday, February 8th, evening/night
Rating: SFW

GI had been in the library for... Well, he'd gone straight there after Film Studies, and it was now going on 6:30 or 7:00-- which added up to four hours of non-stop studying for absolutely nothing at all. Gavin had no tests or papers coming up that required his attention, but the study session made it so that he could use the "I can't, I'm studying" excuse without feeling guilty for lying to whichever friend had taken the time to try to drag him out to do something.

Even so, Gavin would've been lying; he wasn't studying. Around 6:00 he'd fallen asleep on his book, drooling onto the words about Politics that he'd read so many times before.

Dear faculty,

I've already alerted Mr. Bennett, but it appears that someone's brought alcoholic beverages on campus. If possible, I'd like to request a moment of your time to investigate the students' lockers and rooms.

Thank you,
Vice Principal Alphonse Kirkland

Where: the park!
What: Taking Byron out for a walk.
When: Thursday, January 27, after classes
Rating: SFW

Alphonse sat upon a wooden bench, flipping through his new copy of The Crying of Lot 49, still able to catch notes of that new book smell in the wintry air. He continued to find himself rereading entire pages at a time. The appeal was lost on him yet he was determined to read it through to the end. Perhaps the novel should have come with an encyclopedia.

He paused for a moment and checked the time. 4:05pm. He wondered if he should have started walking; perhaps he'd catch Oliver while on the move. Or maybe it's best to remain in one spot and see if he appears. How embarrassing would it be if they kept passing each other? He chuckled at the thought and continued his book.

Subject: Query

I know you may not be the best person to ask, what with how you probably don't have much respect for my reliability after the whole FREDDIE thing. (On which note, I should probably apologise if I put you in an awkward spot there, because looking back... I probably did. Sorry. I was stressed out of my tiny little mind)

But the point is, I was Skyping with my mam yesterday, and it was really kind of worrying. So I need to ask someone who's likely to know, and since you're a few steps up the hiring scale from most teachers... you wouldn't happen to know if there's any jobs going in the school, would you? I mean, janitor work or washing up in the kitchen or just about anything. I will honestly scrub toilets if that's what's going. I have a CV lying around somewhere, and I swear to God, in a professional capacity I can and will be a thousand times more mature than I am day-to-day. I'm nearly eighteen, and I don't mind waiting a few months until I am, but I really, really need the money.

And I thought I'd ask you before I go looking in town, because that's a long way to commute if I'm fitting it around school. And I don't have a car.

Thanks for your time

Although he didn't officially begin until the 17th, Alphonse thought it best to give himself a quick refresher course on the layout of the school. A map could only tell you so much. Giving preference to hands-on experience over whatever was jotted down by a third party, he strolled through the halls of Dalton, turning to show his visitor's pass whenever someone stopped him.

"This school is simply beautiful..."
