Mimi was starting to feel a bit of cabin fever as exams came to a close. The nerves while waiting for grades seemed to gnaw on her insides. Deciding her best course of action to abate the feelings was to get up and move around, she hopped up to the bedroom and put on some jogging clothes. She wrote a quick note to Roger and left it on the fridge in case he got home before she did, and so everyone coming or going from the house would know where she had gone.

Stepping out into the cool Spring air lifted her spirits almost immediately. She set off down the steps and took a left towards town thinking she may enjoy a good look at campus now it was so quiet.

Sookie decided she needed to get out for a while. It wasn't often she got to really enjoy a day off. Sookie usually just sat around the house reading a book or cleaning. She refused to let herself fall into that today. The air was warm and carried the scent of Spring and sunshine.

So Sookie set out and parked down the road from Merlotte's figuring she would end her adventures of the day by getting a drink in the bar as a patron instead of a waitress.

A long look up and down the road, a picnic basket on her arm, Sookie set off towards campus to find a nice shade tree to lay out her blanket.

[[Who:]] Elena Gilbert
[[What:]] Nothing inparticular

Elena started walking. She couldn't stand to stay in the house any more. She could hardly believe this was happening again. She had found Stefan by a true chance of fate after he had left her "for her safety" back in Mystic Falls. Her decision to try this tiny, insignificant Pennsylvania town for college had been a last minute decision and it had led her straight back into her lover's arms. Seeing him, feeling him - it was perfect.

And, now? Elena could scarce believe he could do this to her again. A note simply stating "I can't" was enough to let her know that their proximity had once again set his instincts into overdrive and for her protection she was alone again. Alone in a strange town.

She had abandoned her friends that she had been making at school for him. She was alone and lonely not even paying the least bit of attention to where she was.

[[Who:]] Molly Weasley
[[What:]] Making dinner

Molly had a great day at the Burrow. The kids always made her smile, no matter how sad she really was feeling. When she was home at night, like now, she forced herself to smile. She had learned many years ago that frowning or showing her sadness simply didn't do any good at all and only made the sadness heavier and harder to carry. At least with a smile on her face, no matter how difficult or forced, the weight of everything felt lighter.

Taking her single person dinner, Molly sat at the table she had magicked from her home at the original Burrow. The fact that this table came to her so easily saddened her further and also frightened her. If the family was there, no one would have let this table go without following along to investigate. The table had been sitting in this dining room area for a solid week and still no one.

Molly ate her food feeling a bit morose. She flicked her wand absently and Celestina Warblur began singing one of her favorite songs. A tear rolled slowly down her cheek.

Jesus was still wondering what on earth he had done by making the choice to take the position offered for him in Malvern, Pennsylvania. This rainy, cold place was nothing to the weather he had grown used to growing up in Louisiana. And being away from friends and family made it difficult.

He roamed about town and was pleasantly surprised to see a looming, green Merlotte's sign up ahead. He had thought he'd heard a few of the doctor's at the hospital mention the place, but he thought it may be too good to be true or his hopes making his mind play tricks on him. He turned that direction and went straight for the building hoping against all hope that someone from back home would be inside.

[[Who:]] Jaelin DiNozzo

Jaelin sat at the table now laden with books on all of her least favorite subjects. The math and science mid-terms where not ones she was concerned with. Her psychology, philosophy, and criminology classes were a bit more daunting. Reading into the intricacies of the human mind were a bit more deep than Jaelin had planned to be delving. With a Criminal Psychology major, she should have realized she would have to dig a little deeper into how the human mind works.

She picked up the psychology book and her notebook and set herself to task. She began back on chapter 1 and put herself to work writing diligently. She didn't even have time to notice the people milling about around her.

Derek was excited about his new community center. He wasn't exactly sure what had brought him to this area. Pennsylvania was a far cry from Quantico. Derek figured part of the lure to come to this area was just that fact.

After locking the doors, Derek took a look around the very quiet town. He hoped this was not a sign to what he could expect things to be like once he opened his doors to the community kids.

With a sigh, Derek set off to the police department. It was time to talk with the local law enforcement about what kind of protections they could set up for the community center to make it the safe haven he envisioned it to be.

What the hell was I thinking? Alice yelled at herself mentally for taking on the challenge of philosophy as her major during this tour of college. Having not been human for about a century had made her ability to understand humans' minds much harder than it once was. Although able to see some human futures (only those closest to her, of course), this was a time Alice wished she had Edward's ability to see into their thoughts. It would make taking this mid-term much easier.

She pulled the book closer to her nose as she leaned back against the pillows of the couch.

David set about getting the small tables arranged outside his shop. He was looking at it all trying to get it perfect. He wanted his patrons to be able to enjoy the Spring weather that was creeping into the quiet Pennsylvania town and yet had to make sure there was enough room for passersby to still use the sidewalk to travel through.

He set one table just to the right of the door and began placing the vase of flowers, napkins, and all the cafe necessities on the table paying no attention to the empty street behind him.

House was, once again, bored with the mundane life he was now leading. Whatever possessed me to take this boring job? he thought a bit impetuously. For a man used to being a diagnostician of the most difficult illnesses, working in an emergency room where little more happened than panicked mothers brining in small children with bumps, bruises and similar issues made House miss his Vicoden laden days.

He sat on the bench where he had last spoken with Victorie before she and Wilson moved away to their dream house to start their happy family, or some similar bullshit. He heaved a heavy sigh and watched the few people coming and going across the campus.

Satine was just finishing up some bits of cleaning. The students had a tendency to never clean up their messes. She smiled to herself thinking how much she truly enjoyed taking care of her students. Each was more important to her than what was probably healthy, almost like a pseudo-mother than a true teacher-student relationship.

As she cleaned Satine caught herself humming a montage of songs from a what seemed like a lifetime ago. "Come what may, I will love you" the song that seemed to be haunting her more and more as of late. Her longing to find Christian so deep it cut her straight to the bone.

Collins was happy to have another set of mid-terms finished. The upcoming Spring Break was already getting a bit of that Spring fever under his skin. Being a teacher was a great joy
Collins, and was he was learning, it was also a bigger burden than he could have imagined.

There was a spring in his step to fit the weather and lighter load as he walked through town toward home. He was eternally grateful to Mimi for having picked such an amazing house for the entire group to call home.

As Maureen climbed out of the shower she yawned widely. Having a real job was starting to be a bit of a drag. For a woman that was better fit to do as she pleased, when she pleased keeping to a schedule was proving more than she cared to normally deal with. However, when she had moved here without Joanne, Maureen knew she would have to go against her normal behaviors and actually take a job. Even with Joanne back, given that Roger had been good enough to give her a job, Maureen had continued to work at the music shop.

Setting out the front door, Maureen turned towards town and set out to One Song Glory. It raised her spirits a bit to feel the warmth in the air and smell the freshness of Spring around her.

As John rolled into town, he looked around complete unimpressed with the simplicity of it all. To be honest, John wasn't even entirely sure why he was visiting this town. There was nothing to notice, nothing special to see.

John spotted a place and thought he'd stop in for a bite of lunch. Something about this place called Harvelle's Roadhouse felt welcoming, almost familiar although there was no reason why it should feel that way to him.

He parked the car and as he got out he paused in the parking lot taking in his surroundings as well as enjoying the sunlight for a brief moment before stepping inside to the dimly lit roadhouse.
