The Tiberius J. Swann Education Facility

Who: Karaoke peoples!
When: Friday, later in the evening AFTER DRESS REHEARSAL.
Where: The bar Astrid and Keagan's karaoke party is at.
What: THE MUSHIEST MOST AWESOME THREAD EVER IN THE CREATION OF THREADS. WHAT.

"Hey, everybody," Astrid giggled as she sidled up to the mic, tapping it for everyone's attention. She was a little tipsy. Okay, no, way more than tipsy, but she'd been doing a really good job of being social over the last hour since karaoke had started. The thing had started while Duncan still had his kids in dress rehearsal, so imagine her surprise when he showed and Adora hadn't seen him yet. "So, okay, next up..." She giggled a little more, as if to a secret only she knew. "We have my favorite Il Profesore to siiiing. Mister Boyaaard..." She said with flare as she moved off the stage and went to go plop down in the first seat she could find, which was next to Summer.

Who: Jason, Astrid and OPEN
When: Around 10am
Where: Student Lounge
What: Two old friends meet up!


Jason strolled into the lounge, dropping his books onto one of the tables and plopping down into a chair. This was crazy. Why the hell did he leave when he was a month away from graduating, only to drop into a brand new school, a month before summer break? Shaking his head, he pulled out the first textbook he found. Supernatural history. Sighing, he flipped it open to the beginning chapter and started to read. He was at least grateful that he didn't have to take finals. He was being given the opportunity to sit in classes and learn, without all the added pressures that came from tests, projects, and quizzes. In a way, he was auditing the courses. At the very least, it gave him an idea of what to expect for the fall semester.

"Maybe I can finish my classes for my degree over the summer. That wouldn't be so bad." Chewing on the cap of his pen, a bad habit he had yet to change, he scanned the paragraph again, taking in the information printed on the page.

Who: Astrid, Summer, Jack
When: 9.40pm+
Where: Halls/Dorms/Astrid's Room
What: Summer needs to vent, and Jack needs to PREVENT.

Summer was glad Astrid had agreed to let her come over. She needed to vent. As soon as it was out of her system, she could push it aside, continue with her day, and not think about it anymore. The redhead couldn't think of the last time she'd been so angry. Not just at the totally inappropriate things Jacob had said, but at the fact that he'd purposely said them just to upset her, and also because he had managed to ruin what had otherwise been a really great night.

The memory of horseback riding with Nick was basically gone, now. In his place stood ugly words and just cold anger.

Who: Nick and Astrid
What: Meeting up for the first time since her party.
When: Afternoon
Where: Common Lounge



Nick really hated flight lessons... yeah, he used to love them, but that was then and this was now. He was quiet as he walked up to the dorms, rubbing at his shoulder and grumbling internally. His T-shirt, once a pristine white with the words "Out of my mind. Back in five minutes." scrawled on the image of a post-it note on his chest... was now covered in dirt and grass smears along his left shoulder, and he was rotating that arm a bit as he walked. His wings where snapping irritably as well, but he folded them against his back as he stepped into the common lounge.

Mirrored sunglasses were tugged off and he gave a glance around before he exhaled and went to slouch on the couch, head tipped back to rest on the cushioned back. He didn't care, at this moment, that he was dirty and should go change. He was just glad that he didn't have to head to Supernatural History after this... although the reason for that was somber enough that he wasn't outright rejoicing. Besides. He didn't want to go to his room. There wasn't anything to do there.

Who: Erik and Astrid Magnusson
When: Around 6 PM
Where: The campus grounds
What: Astrid's dad finally asks about the book, and DOESN'T go well

( There was her dad, leaning against the rental car, looking tall and brooding and Norse like usual. )

Who: Astrid, Fox (for a few minutes) & OPEN
Where: The campus grounds
When: Monday night, around sunset
What: Astrid finally has some time to herself to try out the family book of shadows


( Herein lies the magic of Alfather. For those who would steal from their brethren, the brother of giants shall follow. )

Who: Jack and Astrid
Where: Jack's room
When: Sunday evening
What: Astrid finds out he's back in town and needs hugs and friendness!

The news about Simon's death had hit the school pretty quickly, and it had honestly freaked Astrid out. Having grown up going to city schools, teen suicides and drunk driving accidents were an unfortunate part of her life, but normally, the person who died was one kid out of forty in a classroom that she never talked to because of his or her lifestyle.

This was different. She knew Simon somewhat. They certainly weren't friends, but they'd had two classes together and both of them were pretty small classes. And the notion of just going to class and him not being there... honestly freaked her out.

( ... )

Who: Fox and Astrid
When: Friday night
Where: Fox's room
What: Brrraaaaaaaaaaaiiiiinssssss! (Translation: Zombie movie!)


Another week had passed. Fox had made it through another week, though he'd just been going through the motions. For some odd reason, he had actually been doing his homework for the past couple weeks, since it was something for him to focus on. Other than all the questions and what-ifs going through his head at least. Sighing, he leaned back on his bed, the TV in his room on to some random channel for just the white noise. Filling the glass in his hand with the clear alcohol from the mason jar, he tucked the jar between his legs and drank, resting the cool glass against his bare chest. Rae had brought up concern that he had been drinking himself to sleep at nights. In his mind, it worked out well. He didn't have any other activities to occupy his night, and he certainly wasn't in the mood to search one out. So drinking alone it was.

He had just picked up the remote to flip through the channels when a knock came on his door. Rolling his eyes, he debated answering it. Did he really want to deal with people? Not really, and so he ignored the original knock, hoping whoever it was had walked away. Apparently not, since another, more insistent pounding on the door sounded. "Alright alright. C'mon in," he called to whoever was on the other side. "Can't a guy drink in peace," he muttered softly before the door opened.

WHO Astrid and Mikaela.
WHAT The impossible happens! A Jedi master and a trekkie join forces.
WHEN Wednesday, after classes.
WHERE Their room - A1.

( Even if Astrid was a trekkie. )

Who: Garret and Astrid
What: Picking up... Trekkie strays?
Where: The tunnels
When: Late Tuesday/Early Wednesday
Rating: PG probably


Garret was walking his rounds, mostly just swinging his flashlight around and whistling. Yes, he was security, but as fasr as places went, it seemed this school was either completely placid or up in chaos, no manner of inbetween. Tonight was a placid night. He'd shooed a couple of snogging preteens off to bed, but so far nothing all that interesting. Yes, there was a party going on in the tunnels tonight. And yes, underage kids might be drinking. But they were on campus, and he knew that at least some responsible people would be there, and besides, Garret had never been one to be a killjoy.

Still. Better be at least a little responsible. So Garret made his way down through the tunnels, approaching the thumping music and obvious ruckus of what could only be a killer party. He was almost jealous. After checking in with the "door guard" (some poor kid who nearly jumped out of his skin when Garret arrived, since he was supposed to be playing lookout), Garret simply did a scan of the crowd- somewhat small, but then again it was pretty darn late- and headed back up the the surface. The dorms were his next stop, because not doubt there would be drunken stragglers he'd need to usher home.

Down one of the corridors, a funny sight struck him. Someone from the Enterprise was walking his way. Head cocked to the side, he watched as... yes, that was Nurse Chapel... walked toward him in a drunken, wobbly line. The closer she got, the further his head tilted to the side, until it was almost touching his shoulder. Was that a Tribble? Huh.

"Are you... lost?" he offered, puzzled and intrigued. This was like an erotic dream he'd had once.

Who: Everyone!
What: Astrid's Birthday Party
Where: Tunnels under the Rec Center
When: Starting 9pm
Rating: Z for Zaniness!


Lyle was not new to this. He had thrown many a bash, and hopefully he would throw many more in the future. It was his firm belief that nothing drew together a community like a party, and it seemed he was right. They had a dj (and some "borrowed" equipment from the music room, hopefully Professor Witt would not notice or mind), decorations, cake, and enough liquor to sedate a herd of zebras. This was going to be a great party simply because Lyle demanded it to be so. He needed this distraction, a lot of people did. Lately things had been sucking like whoa.

He'd told Astrid to come somewhat early so she could scope out her party room, and also to kind of play hostess since, regardless of Lyle organizing everything, it was her event. He was glad when he saw her, smiling at her outfit. His own was a ridiculous geeky nightmare. "Hey, Astrid," he said pleasantly. "Happy birthday. Liquor's over there, food's there, aaaaaaannnnddddd..." He pulled her present from under the drink table. "I didn't wrap it," he shrugged apologetically. "It would look pretty awful if I did. Anyway. There's a couple rolls of Smarties in there too." Slipping behind the bar (which was just a table with coolers of liquor behind it), Lyle looked at her expectantly. "What's your poison?"

Who: Astrid and Jack
Where: Fox's room, then Jack's room

What: Astrid can't find Fox!

( Waking up to realize you acted like a slice of scum-cake was pretty humbling. Like, humble pie level of humbling. )

Who: Fox and Astrid
Where: Fox's room
When: Friday evening
What: Astrid's upset and comes to Fox


Fox had finally finished his math homework that was given to him earlier that day and leaned back in his chair to take a deep breath. A homework free weekend was ahead, and boy was he happy about it. Considering Saturday was booked with getting a haircut from Rae in the morning, then toking up and being ridiculous with Vinnie and Frankie in the evening, he was happy not to have this lurking in the back of his mind as a buzz kill.

Setting his homework in his notebook, he reached up to set it on the book shelf above his desk. For a moment, his attention was diverted to the letter he'd received in the morning's mail. Not many people knew he was here, so it was interesting that he'd gotten anything. Picking up the envelope, he noticed the return address was from his hometown in Virginia. Doubly interesting.

He'd been wanting to read it most of the day, but had been busy trying to get work done, and having gone into town for shopping. Fox was now completely prepped for Saturday night activities and getting high. Flipping over the letter, he started to rip it open, curious as to what was inside.

At that moment, an insistent knock resounded on the door. Sighing, Fox tossed the letter back on the desk and stood. As was his custom in his room, he was shirtless and barefoot, left only in the jean he'd worn all day. Opening the door, he leaned against the frame. "Yeah?" His bored expression fell when he saw who was there, turning into one of concern. "Astrid? What's wrong?"
