Who: Keagan and Astrid

Who: Summer, Astrid, Keagan
Where: The cafeteria!
When: Dinnerish-time, post 4.30pm
What: Summer meets Astrid, a fellow witch, and then later, Keagan

Summer had pretty much been miserable since Jacob left. At first, her misery was because the only person she'd truly befriended -- who ended up becoming her boyfriend -- was now off campus for who knew how long, but now her misery was because that same person was coming apart from her. She didn't know what Jacob was up to, aside from taking care of his sick mother, but it was something she labeled "not good." His speech had become erratic, and he seemed very distracted. He sounded occasionally hyper, and then would swing from jolted to apathetic.

It wasn't like she needed help wondering if things had moved too quickly between them. She knew they had. They were still learning things about each other, and the more she learned about Jacob, the more she wondered if they were right for each other. Then he left, and put her worries aside, due to her missing him so badly, only to have them return when their interaction was limited to the phone and computer.

The distraction of worrying about her disconcertingly small number of confidants and friends here at TJS was what made her drop her Snapple bottle right off her tray on the way to the table. She let out a gasp as it fell, then snapped her hand into the air, hastily mumbled something that didn't quite sound like English, and there was a hiss and a pop! sound before the Snapple bottle disappeared from where it had been, and reappeared in her palm.

Having not done this with a bottle of liquid for quite some time, she let out a disbelieving guffaw, brown cow eyes huge, and looked at the Snapple bottle like it had sung a song.

Who: Keagan and Astrid (And possibly Fox?)
When: Before and after Intermediate Science Class
Where: Science Classroom, then hallways and... who knows?
What: Keagan and Astrid meet in person


After her... strikingly eventful and nerve-wracking Sunday spent unpacking and meeting Fox, which, she still had no idea what to make of the guy, Astrid was ready for Monday to get there. Math, science, classes and everything that was associated with it so that she could have something to focus on again. You knew you were getting bored when you pulled out your graphing calculator and started to work on quadratic equations instead of watching a movie.

So, with notebook and plenty of pencils ready, as well as her calculator in hand, Astrid stepped into the intermediate science classroom and glanced around. Looked like an odd number of students so far, but she was able to find a nice seat only a row back at one of the tables. She grabbed her things, already taking out her notebook and dating the page, looking for the topic on the blackboard.

Okay. Class one. Intermediate science. For this geek? Total cake.

Who: Fox and Open (Eventually Astrid)
What: It's a Meet and Greet
Where: Student Lounge
When: Sunday, March 2nd, Midday

Fox finished throwing his few empty bags on the bed. It took him all of fifteen minutes to unpack, after all, you can't carry but so much on a motorcycle. He was still dressed in his travel wear: frayed jeans, a fitted black tee and his favorite black leather jacket. Too restless to sit in his room he headed out and around the corner to the student lounge. This school was larger than he had thought originally, but it wouldn't take him too long to figure out.

He swung his leather jacket over the back of one of the padded chairs while taking in the room. "Pfft. They got enough stuff in here?" Shaking his head, he sat down, crossing one booted foot over the other as he reclined. "At least the chairs are comfy." He wondered what corners everyone decided to hide in on a Sunday afternoon. If he had his choice, he'd be driving down Route 66 right about now. Stupid angel making him come here. Deciding to make the most of it for the time being, he watched around the room, waiting for - what was her name? Astrid! Astrid to show up.

Who: Keagan and Will
When: Monday, February 25, Evening, after Dinner
Where: Their Dorm Room
What: A meeting of New Roommates.

Keagan spent the whole of Monday afternoon in the Library after finding it.  Once he realized that the row of computers in the middle of the room were the card catalog, he'd been able to find books on Computers and how to use them.  He read from a book called "Email for Dummies" until the sun was gone and his stomach was reminding him that he'd missed dinner.  Keagan placed the book back on the shelf and checked his map.  The F wing was not far, which was good.  Keagan stuffed his map back into his pack and shouldered the bag, headding off for the dorm.

He sprinted as fast as he could through the snow from the Educational building to the Dorms.  Spring really couldnt come too soon.  He did not envy the people who had to shovel these sidewalks.  Then again, they might have some machine or computer who did it for them.  He'd have to watch some morning after a snow storm and see.  He was lost in thoughts of Art Nouveau and Art Deco sidewalk shoveling robots, and had decided on something like Rosie the Robot with a ram-scoop by the time he reached room F3.

He paused at the door and felt the key in his pocket, but decided to go with courtesy first.  Keagan knocked three times at the door and rocked on his heels a bit.

Who: Keagan and Adora
When: Monday 2/25/08
Where: Administrative Office
What: New Student Transfer!

Keagan had only been in Massachusetts for two days and had already decided it was far too cold. He didn't remember the north east being this cold in the past. All the rivers were frozen solid and it had been so long since he'd seen vast amounts of frozen water that it had actually surprised him.

He had woken early that morning to travel from the room he'd rented at a hotel in Boston to travel to Danvers, and even then it had taken him nearly 3 hours by public transit. It made him wish he'd hired a car, regardless of the price.

Alas, he had made it to the school, which was beautiful and made him glad he had decided to move. He adjusted the large canvas pack on his back a bit and made his way into the front entrance of the building labeled on his little orientation map as "Educational Facility". He followed the orientation packet's instructions to the Administration office and knocked before walking in. "Hello?"
