The Tiberius J. Swann Education Facility

Who: Starbuck and Kim
When: Thursday
Where: hall closet near Belle’s classroom
What: a “bathroom break”

Starbuck shut his laptop and immediately ran out to fetch someone to look after Kamea for an hour, claiming is was important, but he didn’t explain the situation. Getting laid was important, right? Right.

With the streaking idea out the window, he did wear clothes as he ran over to the education building. As soon as he was outside Belle’s classroom, Starbuck sent a quick text message to Kim saying ‘maintenance closet down the hall.’ With that, Starbuck stepped inside and waited for his girlfriend.

Who: Nox and June
When: Friday afternoon
Where: out on the grounds near the stables
What: a chat

After Nox wrapped up his office hours on Friday, he quickly changed into some workout clothes and went for a run. It was his normal Friday routine. Nox was a big fan of routines, which most people knew. He had three different routes that he alternated. Today's was a loop around the entire school, with a trip through the woods (he liked the crunch of the leaves, or snow as was the case today).

Belle wanted him all to herself for the weekend, but this was his time to clear his head of the week's stresses so he could focus entirely on her. Nox didn't want any distractions to occupy his mind while his wife helped him celebrate his birthday. He visualized all his problems being burned like calories in his body as he ran, pushing his body harder each time his muscles started to protest.

But it wasn't his tired muscles that caused him to slow down as he rounded the stables. Nox spotted someone walking oddly, her posture indicating she was sniffing the air. He jogged over to investigate, and that's when he recognized the young woman from a photo he'd seen of her. "Hello, June," Nox said in a slightly winded voice. He came to a stop, knowing that was a bad idea, because cramps might set in, but it seemed rude to jog lightly in place while holding a conversation. "I'm Nox. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."
