Wednesday 1/17/08
Who: Tad and Theo
Where: student lounge
When: afternoon
What: talking?
The day started so well. Breakfast, classes, the whole thing, and then Tad had to mess it up accidentally by getting on the wrong end of some scary tall guy who smelled of meat. He had dropped his books on the guy's foot, not to mention spilling his delicious piece of cake on the guy's trousers. Favorite pair, or something like that. It must have been a bad day for Meat Man because he glared a lot at Tad and Tad did the sensible thing, running and finding a good hiding space.
The only nearby place with potential hiding spots was the student lounge and he rushed inside, crouching behind one of the sofas. Meat Man had cracked his knuckles and growled, not quite the scary growl as a T-Rex, but maybe like a velociraptor. "Where the fuck are you?" came the teenager's voice from the hallway. Tad didn't know him, so it was very possible he could rip the elemental into shreds and he hadn't even seen Meat Man's magic yet! With a panicked glance around the room, he happened to see another brown haired man and made a shh noise, fingers to lips... and before he realized what was happening, his desire to hide overcame him and he sank.
Tad felt coldness, smelled and saw nothing - he was part of the stone floor! Thumps of footsteps sounded closer, reverberated through the far end of the floor and he felt that vaguely, but the guy must have seen and smelt no one there. Just as the footsteps disappeared down the hall, Tad popped out of the floor and appeared on his hands and knees, breathing heavily. "Holy shit!" he swore, because this seemed like an appropriate time to do so when no adults were nowhere to be found. He returned to his feet unsteadily and met the eyes of the man he'd seen before. "Did you see? That was so groovy!" He slammed his foot down against the stone in the hope to merge with it once more, but he was calmer and nothing happened.
