The Tiberius J. Swann Education Facility

Who: Addie and Jacob
Where: Jacob's room
When: late afternoon
What: another magical project

Time for another project. Jacob always liked to have another magical focus and this was for a good cause as any, to make people happy. Children happy, apparently. He didn't know when he was the sweet type, but it couldn't be helped. Addie had asked him to help her and he couldn't say no. They had agreed to meet in his room to work on it and before then, he sifted through the books he had in order to find the right spells to create what was necessary.

He waited for Addie to turn up and unlocked the door, having a sip or two of soda. If only it were some alcohol, but otherwise he wouldn't be able to cast any spells as it was. A strand of red licorise dangled from his lips as he tore off a piece with his teeth. Finally she entered the room and he moved to the bed so they could have a more comfortable place to study. "You owe me for this," he said. "If only we'd be paid for this." He was somewhat grumbly about this because money was always an issue.

Who: Addie, Jacob and Pearl
Where: the underground room on campus
When: afternoonish
What: potentially making an art gallery.

It had taken some hard work and it'd still require more, but at last Jacob was able to show Addie what he had done so far. He couldn't wait to see the reaction on her face and headed towards his sister's room first, knocking on the door. "Hey," he said. "Ready to go?" He hoped that she wouldn't take too long so he could get to Addie's place. It was almost sad that he was so excited, but he was going to make this epic. Why couldn't he show off a little?

Then again, it could be said that part of his reason for being was to show off, because everyone had to know how powerful he was. He waited for Pearl and then led the way to knock on Addie's door. "Come on, Ice Grenade!" he called. "I am not going to wait for very long!" He hoped that was enough reason for her to hurry so he could get a move on - the more work they could get done on the gallery, the better.

Who: Peyton, Lyle, and Jacob
When: Friday night
Where: Jacob's room
What: THREESOME! uh... maybe ;)

Peyton had been feeling pretty shitty for a while now. But everything was made SO much worse by her brother's arrival. Strike that, since BOTH her brothers' arrivals! Reese was on campus being a dumb ass, and now she had a baby brother. Probably a mutant. Actually, it upset her more to think that the stinky, whiney thing was probably totally normal. She hated her newest sibling already, and they'd not been properly introduced.

It was time to cause some trouble. What better way to shake things up than to get it on with the object of Lyle's bromance? Even if it didn't happen, and she had her doubts Lyle would go through with it, it would be damn funny to see the boys squirm in awkward sauce. But if they did go through with it, then Peyton would get to fuck two dudes at once without Lyle crying about it. Threesomes didn't fall under the 'cheating' category.

When Lyle returned to the room, Peyton hopped up off the bed. She looked good enough to eat. Showered, hair brushed, and dressed like a slutty school girl. "Don't get comfortable, we're headed out... plans." Without another word, Peyton grabbed his hand and dragged him down the hall. She knocked on Jacob's door, and while waiting for the sexy blond to answer, Peyton quickly checked to see that Lyle looked yummy. Eh.. he passed inspection.

Who: Addie and Jacob
What: Escapism
Where: Garage, then traveling
When: Evening

Addie knew her Magic Man was having a rough time.  She'd seen the posts about Dizzy's death, and she'd seen the quote he'd posted.  Sometimes she wished she was a painter, and that words could be painted.  Not the words, but the thoughts.  Yeah, yeah, art was bringing the words to life and blah blah blah.  The cryokinetic knew all the theoretical bullshit, and hey, she was an artist.  She brought thoughts to life.  But it was different.  The words he'd found were beautiful, and she wished she could have made them real.  Ah well.  Guess the mundane world, reality as it were, and all it's dumbass restrictions would continue to apply.

Of course, that didn't prevent Addie from giving her friend a nice dose of escapism, or a chance at it.  There were plenty of alternate realities to be created in this world, and she had every intention of creating one for him if he wanted it.  Knowing that Jacob might not be so cool with illicit substances right now, she'd made sure to keep it limited to pot.  See, she did have a sensitive side.  Besides, he was in no headspace to be going on a trip right now.  You brought your baggage with you, and he didn't need that kind of trip right now, decidedly not.  Nor did she need him to get stupid and start permanently living in any chemically created alternate realities.  He was better than that.

The blond was leaning against her car, awaiting her metaphorically battered and bruised friend.  "Hey Magic Man.  Any destination requests?" she asked when appeared.

Who: Jacob and Lyle
Where: Jacob's room
When: afternoonish
What: Lyle visits Jacob and Jacob chooses a temporary cowardly solution.

( He didn't know what he was doing, but he knew he just had to do something. )

Who: Addie and Jacob
When: After dinner
Where: Jacob's room
What: Addie has a project!

Addie needed something to do.  Not that she didn't have a full load of classes, work, and partying to occupy her time.  But she needed to keep herself busy when she wasn't doing any of those three, which happened to be tonight.  Time to see if her blond Magic Man was free.

"Open up or I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow you..."  Yes, big booming voice.  Yes, lots of pounding on the door.  Embarrassment ensuing?  Check!  Addie was grinning ridiculously and laughing a bit even.  And she came bearing gifts.  Gifts of munchies.  She knew what kinds of snacks Jacob seemed to dig and had loaded up on them.  Hey, if she was gonna ask him for help, she had better pay up somehow.

Who: Dizzy and Jacob
Where: Dizzy's room
When: late afternoon
What: Jacob visits.

After their conversation on IM had gone badly, and the conversation he had with Lyle that pointed towards the possibility Dizzy might be jealous, Jacob wasn't sure what to do. He waited a few days and contemplated his options, deciding on bringing a DVD or two over to her room with his laptop so they could watch one. A bag of M&Ms along with him wouldn't hurt, and he gathered everything in his computer bag before he locked the door and cast a spell on it. He walked down the hallway to the girls' dormitory and Dizzy's room, knocking on the door.

There was the possibility she had no intention of speaking to him for whatever reason - he didn't claim to understand women. "Hello, Dizzy?" he said. "I have M&Ms." The temptation of chocolate was a powerful one, or at least he hoped it was. "Please open up." His voice dropped in volume and he slid a hand into his pocket.

He had brought Airplane! with him, which was a decent movie to just watch and hang out, and he hoped she would watch it with him. Taking out a pack of red licorise out of his pocket, he had a strand and ate it. With all of the licorise he hate, it was a miracle that he remained this skinny. Bless magical experimentation, it really must be a calorie burner.

Who: Ophelia and Jacob
Where: Jacob's room
When: early Monday morning
What: Ophelia has an urgent request to make of him.

( Jacob, that was his name! Magical Jacob! )

Who: Addie and Jacob
Where: Garage, then Jacob's room
When: Evening
What: Enchanting art

Why the fuck she had agreed to bring this monstrosity to him was beyond her.  He could have damn well dragged his ass out to the junkyard.  This thing was easily several hundred pounds.  It was made of scrap metal and it stood about 5'.  She had help loading it, but once she got to the school, she was SOL.  Danny had lent her his truck, but that didn't help her get it from the garage to Jacob's room.  She certainly wasn't going to mess with visitor's passes and that kind of crap.

Flipping out her phone, she called Jacob's number.  "Get your ass to the garage and bring a spell to move this piece of crap to your room."  She didn't wait for him to answer as she hung up and muttered, "Fucking making me drag this thing around."  While the actual labor of dragging this thing around was annoying, she was looking forward to working with Jacob on art.  He did have it in him, no matter what he said, and she'd make sure he realized it.

Who: Jacob and Raquel
Where: in the city
When: evening
What: a date

( Read on. )

Who: Pearl and Jacob
What: Pearl wants comfort
Where: Jacob's room
When: Wednesday evening.

It was stupid really. It had been four a half days since Will went missing and she knew that people were trying to find him, that she'd done almost everything she could possibly think of doing herself to help but still tonight she lay there in bed, unable to get to sleep. She hadn't been sleeping well really since Ophie mentioned seeing Will with his parents. Eventually somewhere in the middle of the night she'd drift off for a couple of hours but the worry and the lack of sleep was showing. She looked tired, her spells were going wrong, even some of the simpler ones that she normally barely had to think about, she wasn't paying attention in classes. She didn't realise quite how deeply she cared for her friend until this happened, and now she was terrified he wouldn't be coming back.

There really was no point in staring at the ceiling of her room for hours again tonight so, around midnight, she slipped out of her room and crept through the corridors until she found herself at her twin's door, not having really been sure where she was headed until she got there. A simple lock opening spell (which thankfully didn't blow up in her face) and she padded into Jacob's room in her pyjamas and socks, climbing into his bed without a single word.

Who: Addie and Jacob
Where: Jacob's room
When: late evening
What: Surprise visit and TBA.

( Another day had passed. )

Who: dizzyp & prismane
Where: Jacob's Room
When: Sunday 4|20|08 Afternoon/Evening
What: The Usual
Status: In Progress

Day two and Dizzy was still soaring high. The China White she'd purchased hadn't been entirely pure, she'd received a score with a cocaine mixture better known as a Speedball, per her request. The mixture of an upper and downer made her highs and lows weave in and out something like teenage mood-swings. The prospect of going all the way to his room when he'd asked seemed like a big journey to take. It was difficult to even think of getting up from her chair let alone walking and moving and talking. Luckily the chemicals swimming through her veins had begun to pick up as she forced herself up to her feet. Pulling on her black boots, she wouldn't bother lacing them up and she was sure to pull on a zip-up hoodie over her beater, if only to ensure that no one in the halls would notice the little bruise forming on her arm after two spikes in the vein.

The walk down the hall soon turned into a job, her heart pounding inside of her chest. She could run a 5K marathon and almost felt the urge to just keep going. But the promise of time with her best friend slowed her to a stop at his door. Fingers curled and rapidly knocked against the wood. Without waiting, the pushed the door to his dorm room open and slipped in. Atleast she'd announced her presence. It wasn't like she had to worry about Lyle and intruding on his space or Jacob being possible naked - because she'd already seen that. "Hey." Notorious Cheshire cat grin spread across her lips as the door was swung to a lose and she made her way to his bed, plopping down.

"What's on the agenda today? We should do something. Anything. What'd you do with Red again?" By Red, she meant Raquel. Her questions were coming without the usual pause in hopes of an answer, mouth blurting out thoughts as her brain conjured them up. "We can still marshmallows later, since it's not like your having sex anytime soon." Smile lingered as she teased him, leaning back on her hands. Though less than a minute later she was leaning forward, her hands on the edge of the bed and her boots pressing against the floor as she bounced herself a bit on the mattress, impatiently waiting for his word.

Who: Ana and Jacob
When: Wednesday night
Where: Jacob's room
What: Seeing just how buzzed they can get.

Ana was a bit skeptical when Jacob mentioned that he had been working on a batch of alcohol that was potent enough to get a vampire drunk. Then again, it had to be true. The guy was a whiz when it came to his magical innovations. Every once in a while, she wore that shirt with the warming spell on it. And the flying carpet? She couldn't get that one off her mind. She had definitely never had sex like that before, and that was saying something.

Wednesday night rolled around and once Ana was done with a few business calls she had to make to Lancome, she headed off to Jacob's room. She was dressed casually in a pair of black yoga pants and a long sleeved red blouse. Her bangs fell casually over her eyes while the rest of her hair was pulled up in a clip. Arriving at Jacob's door, she gave a soft knock, waiting for an answer.

Who: Jacob and Raquel
When: midday/early afternoon
Where: the grounds
What: hanging out
N.B. Raquel's turn.

( Outdoors. )

Who: Jacob and Lloyd
Where: Lloyd's office
When: 9 am
What: appointment!

Jacob awoke, threw on clothes without paying much attention to what he was wearing, and trudged over to the cafeteria to get something to eat. He shoved some cereal into his mouth, and ate it without enjoyment. Soon he was supposed to see one of the school psychiatrists and he had no idea what to say. While he had some problems, he didn't like to think that he was completely insane.

Where was this guy's office, anyway? He went to the part of the building where the offices were and glanced at the names to see what was the right door. Finally, he saw it and knocked on the door - he was only a couple of minutes late. "Hello?" Jacob wondered. He assumed since he had an appointment, he could walk right in and sit on the chair. That was what he did.

Who: Addie and Jacob
Where: Jacob's room
When: afternoon
What: She checks up on him.

After the events of Wednesday, Jacob was a shell of the man he used to be. He had no desire to go out and eat breakfast or lunch, though he had a granola bar in his nightstand. Sitting on his bed, listening to music on his portable music player and reading a magical textbook was all right. It became boring after a short while, so he changed to his laptop and watched some flash cartoons on the Internet.

It was as though he was still numb and had no idea how to make everything better. He screwed up, badly, and admitting his feelings with the possibility of being rejection was so difficult. Self-hatred was now strong and no doubt no one would talk to him. They probably thought he was crazy and who knew, they were right. In the back of his mind, but Jacob didn't want to admit it.

He wanted to have something to drink although that was a bad idea. Everything would be better if he was still drunk, tied to a chair so he wouldn't be able to escape or whatever. Jacob ran a hand through his hair, sighing, and leaned back against the wall. Fuck everything was still his motto, but not a very effective one. Jacob needed to try harder to keep people in his life and not push them away by saying the wrong thing. This depended on if people were worth the trouble.

Who: Dizzy and Jacob
Where: Dizzy's room
When: evening
What: A distraught Jacob needs to talk to someone.

( Distraught. )

Who: Jacob - and Lyn and Mattieus Grey
Where: TJS corridors
When: Friday afternoon
What: The wheel is set into motion...

( They were like aliens, coming down to earth and making observations. )

Who: Addie and Jacob
Where: in the city
When: Evening
What: Drinking in a bar.

When talking to the new girl over the journals, Jacob did not expect to be invited out to have drinks. Her treat, even better. It was the perfect thing to do instead of attending the party his roommate hosted. He was irritated and that led to him being tempted to do things. Dangerous or stupid, who knew. So he headed towards the garage in the evening to meet this girl, who he hoped would just assume who he was. Had he said his name? It was hard to remember at the moment. Sure enough, when he appeared, he saw a blonde woman in front of him.

"Addie?" Jacob called out, just in case. "It's Jacob, magical guy from the journals." Meeting someone new always made him nervous and he had to clench his first momentarily to help release some of the anxiety. He looked decent with his leather jacket on and furrowed brow that screamed attitude. Talking to Addie over the journals almost reminded him of Dizzy and that meant he might have a chance of getting along with her. If she was as easy going as his best friend, of course.

He wondered what vehicle they were going to use - probably hers, which was fine with him. "Let's go," Jacob said. "We can get to know each other later when we're getting trashed." With any luck, she was okay with that plan.
