( ... )

Who: Rae and Keagan
Where: Hallway near student lounge

What: Keagan and Rae run into each other following Thursday's events.

Who: Rae, Fox, Jang-Geum
Where: The Infirmary
When: 6am, just after sunrise
What: Fox healed Rae, but now he needs medical attention!

The trip to the Infirmary had been shorter than it felt. The sun had risen behind them as they made their way. Rae had fallen quiet; she didn't know what to say. Fox had healed her and taken her injury onto himself. It was the most selfless act anyone had ever done for her that she could remember. Her tongue was in shock, even if the rest of her had recuperated.

By the time they got to the door she was sure Fox completely despised her for being such a reckless idiot. She disengaged herself from him and tiptoed forward. Someone was inside. She could hear them rattling about. Thank GOD. She had no idea what she was going to do otherwise. "HEY!" she said, and banged twice, hard, on the door. "HEY, OPEN UP."

Who: Rae and Fox
Where: School grounds, after she stumbles a few yards
When:Sunrise-ish
What: SHOT!

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Rae had been feeling cramped all weekend. Saturday's lunch with Astrid was fun, and Saturday evening's Firefly-a-thon with Fox and Cassie had been great, but come Sunday she found herself with an empty schedule. After doing some homework that wasn't due for at least a week, the restless feeling in her brain extended toward narrow limbs, into her chest, wrapping itself around her ribcage until she felt the necessity of air. Despite trying to distract herself with music, artwork, and television, she knew what the problem was. She wanted to shift. It had become such a regular thing for her to shift every two nights or more in the last few years that she thought she was suffering withdrawal, in all seriousness.

* * *

The deer didn't know just how early or late it was; it just knew that it was before sunrise, and there were beautiful smells everywhere. Rae, on the other hand, was vaguely aware that she should start heading back to her room. What she wasn't aware of, however, were a few other minor details: a) she had completely wandered of school grounds in her doe adventures, b) there was a gun trained on her. It was the deer's complete fortune that the gun wielder was an unskilled idiot (who apparently was unaware of a few things himself, namely hunting laws in the state). When the shot rang out, the deer jumped, feeling something scrape it's shoulder, and then all was still.

Until the crunch. Shoveled ears leapt up, swirling like satellites. What the fuck was that. It wasn't a noise found in nature. No, something. Wet, thick dark nostrils flared, pulsating. No, human.

It wasn't until the deer took off in its usual zigzag pattern that it felt the pain. Hard, hot pain, in its shoulder. The one that had just tickled until now. It stopped, and Rae angled her beautiful doe mottled neck to look at her own frame. It was an unusual gesture for a deer. Blood. That was the smell. She thought it had been the human, but no -- this was a different sort of metallic scent. Blood. She was shot.

Who: Rae and Fox
Where: The library
When: 4.30pm
What: Rae is a thief!


Rae had already been to the library a number of times. She was no stranger to this library, or any library, really. She loved them. They were a) quiet b) Internet-ready c) full of old books not always found in book stores d) full of FREE books e) a place where you were encouraged to sit, read, and do nothing else all day. Bookstores, another favorite place of Rae's, occasionally got a little nasty when you sat in them for hours at a time. Even though she'd never damaged a book just by reading it, she had had more than one clerk tell her she needed to leave. Lame.

Who: Summer, Astrid, Rae (maybe later)
Where: Outside, school grounds-- then, Astrid's room
When: After 3pm
What: Summer and Astrid are hanging out with he dog when chaos strikes

"It's so funny," Summer said, taking the toy from Sebastian's mouth as he brought it back for the tenth time, "because it totally doesn't even really look like a fox, I mean..." she held it up, showing Astrid how it was more of ared  tennis ball with a fake foxy tail attached, "but I guess how it moves, it just makes him nuts."

The two girls had become fast friends. Astrid's rapid fire, extroverted nature complimented Summer's general inclination to be reserved and shy. They had similar interests....Astrid was just more open about talking about them. A lot. Summer didn't mind whatsoever; she welcomed Astrid's forwardness openly. Astrid wasn't upset that her boyfriend had been responsible for her being temporarily blind last week, and Summer was hoping that she could introduce them on better grounds. Maybe they could all become friends?

Summer pulled her arm back and threw the toy again, further. Sebastian took off like a tiny gray shot, tail high, stubby legs flying.

Who: Erin and EVERYONE INVITED!!
When: Saturday Evening
Where: Some club in Boston
What: PARTAAAY! With an old school burlesque theme!


Erin had actually totally outdone herself. The amount of detail put into the burlesque entertainment provoked question. The club was naturally divided into different rooms, and she had rented out a few of them. It was not a popular joint, nor was it an exceptionally large place. With the money she had spent, though, she had not only decorated the several rooms beautifully, but she had catered the entire thing. It had been a lot, but it was worth it. Things had come together nicely.

The main room, which housed the bar, the food, and a few full sized tables for six had dancers strewn about cavorting under the multicolored lights. There was no defined color scheme for the dancers: each had their own outfit, and each wore it very well. Although the music varied from classic burlesque striptease music to more modern dance, fun songs, the dancers were clearly ready for anything and had acts prepared. There was a large stage in the main room, and a smaller, currently empty stage to the right, where a DJ generally was stationed.

In the two smaller rooms were fewer dancers, but the intensity had varied. Though none of the dancers were ever anything close to disgusting (Erin had, again, chosen to represent "old school burlesque"), the smaller rooms had heavier movements, duo acts, and, while no more body parts were shared, more were touched, licked, and slathered in liquor.

Who: Jack and Astrid (Then later mebbe Keagan and Rae)
Where: Outside the supernatural history room
When: Tuesday Afternoon
What: Both Jack and Astrid are waiting for people to get out of class and run into each other instead


Okay, it was official. Fox was an enigma wrapped in a cookie and now dunked in rock candy. She just could never figure him out. Although, she had his number, she knew it was that he was too scared to get truly involved with people, but she couldn't figure out how in the hell they had gone from hating each other Sunday night to sort of being okay on Monday. What. The fuck.

So, naturally, she figured that she'd surprise Keagan today with popcorn - unpopped - as a not-so-subtle hint that Star Wars night was to be had tonight!

As a result, this meant that about ten minutes before his supernatural history class was ending, Astrid was hanging out outside the door, pacing the hallway without a care in the world, bag of unpopped Pop Secret popcorn in hand.

Who: Rae and Fox
Where: Student Lounge, then later out on the town.
When: 6ish and later
What: A date. Or an outing. Whatever.

Rae had outdone herself, just a little, with her outfit for their not-date. If he was so intent on knowing her, and pretending like he was actually interested in her, as a person, then why hold back? Looking like a cross between a Victorian doll and an extra from a haunted mansion spectacle in the woods of PA during October, Rae nonchalantly relaxed on one of the cushionary chairs of the student lounge. Despite the severe cut of her jacket, she looked comfortable, with one stockinged leg slung over the arm, the rest of her sprawled out, on her back, cell phone in hand as she tinkered. The pink crinoline skirt was fluffy enough to hide her panties, but she wore black tights with purposeful, Pollack like bleach splatters beneath regardless. Beneath the ruffly jacket was an off the shoulder black sweater over a neon green tank top. Beneath that, a purple bra strap. She liked color.

A few people stared, as they walked by, but she ignored them because her cell phone was more interesting. It had the internet, and text messages with people she actually cared to speak to. Beneath the ridiculousness of her outfit lay a girl who smelled like oranges and floral perfume, and who had shaved her legs.

Who: Adora's Art Students and Duncan's Theatre Students! (And... Adora and Duncan)
Where: Boston! Subway, Museum of Art, Avenue Q

((OOC: And that's it! Feel free to pop in with anything!))

Who: Rae, Fox, and maybe Jack, later
When: After art meeting in the late afternoon, probably close to dinner time
Where: Outside, in a secluded spot, but obviously not TOO secluded.
What: Fox almost sees Jack's little sister naked. Almost.

Cold. Fucking cold. Changing inside was impossible, though, so she didn't spend time dwelling as she dressed as quickly as she possibly could. Although a delicate beauty of a white tailed deer had squeezed itself past a narrow opening on the side of the education building, using shadows and the far, unpopulated side as a cover, in a few minutes a young woman would emerge.

First, though, she needed to stop being naked. Rae hated the fact she couldn't change with her clothes, but that, too, wasn't worth dwelling on as the fact was unchangeable. So instead, completely naked, she hissed out a curse and set to dressing as quickly as possible. All of her clothing had been stashed her during her jaunt. It was rare for anyone to be back here unless they were smoking or buying unmentionable things. She knew that there was a chance she'd be caught naked, but then, that was a chance all shifters took. Generally, as a shifter, you needed to be okay with the fact at some point a complete stranger would see your bare ass.

She pulled her tee shirt over a black and pink leopard print bra, then reached for her coat. It was fucking cold!

Who: Rae and Vinnie
Where: outside somewhere in the cold
When: afternoon
What: Rae doesn't have cool vampire/lycan agilty to save her from falling on her ass when she's clumsy

Rae had bundled up considerably. She had no fancy high temperature, no magical warming powers. She just had a huge fluffy pink scarf, a hoodie and a black snow jacket, and legwarmers. Two layers, as a matter of fact, over skintight gray jeans. Her boots looked like small animals were clawing their way up her ankles. Faux fur, and scary looking faux fur, at that, white and black combined. The only part of her very visible was her face, with its red nose, pink ears, and heavily made up eyes. She wore a skull cap over her wild hair, and two pale wires extended from beneath. Earphones.

She was into the music. It made her heart race, and she believed it kept her warm, just a little bit. She was mock-drumming in the air (eyes closed) as she took his turn, lips moving, rocking out. Which was, in retrospect, probably why she didn't see the patch of black ice no one had gotten to pour salt on yet. Her feet went out from under her, and she opened her eyes in time to see the world tilt backwards. 

The sudden shock to her tailbone caused her to cry out, in a very girly manner, which she immediately regretted. Fuck, had anyone seen? Motherlover...

Who: Charlie and Rae
When: Sunday, late night
Where: female dorms
What: bumping into each other (not in THAT way)

Charlie had worn his workout clothes for tonight's shift. He hadn't been running much this week, and he had every intention of getting some exercise while doing rounds tonight. Of course, he would still do all that was required of him, but there was no reason why he couldn't run a few laps around the school's exterior as well.

Once inside again, as he was making his way through the girls dorms, checking the emergency exits (which were supposed to ONLY be used in case of emergencies), he spotted a pile of clothing near one of the doors. Having a niece who was a shapeshifter, he was all too well aware of their need to strip before transforming. He also knew that they really shouldn't be running around outside, unsupervised, after hours, in their animal form, especially if they were still learning. He picked up the clothes and headed outside once again.

Charlie snooped around for a few minutes, looking for any large animal, and it didn't take him long to spot the furry rule breaker. It looked like some sort of deer, only with weird zebra-like stripes on its hindquarters. Was it a gazelle? "Hey!" he called out, holding the clothing up in the air. "You're not supposed to be out right now."

Who: Cassie and Rae
What: The chaos demon thinks her roomie needs a night out
Where: Their room and then out
When: Friday night

Cassie started in the student lounge, doing homework with books, laptop, notepad, all spread out around her on the floor like she normally worked. She'd got so behind with homework recently between choreography, getting ready for the musical and actually attending her classes that she had decided she probably needed to try and get some of it done before the weekend so she could relax. Besides she found it way too easy to get distracted from doing anything she should be doing... like assignments. This evening was going to prove no different.

Having been staring at an assignment for an hour so far without making any progress whatsoever she decided it really wasn't going to work and so she collected all her stuff, going back to her room. Opening the door she dumped all her stuff on her desk and looked at her roomie.

"We're going out. I've just decided."

Who: Rae, Jack, and OPEN (to more than one person)
When: evening
Where: Rec Hall
What: The siblings went to movie night for all the nonlycans! Well, Jack WENT, Rae was forced to come along.


Jack had shown up at Rae's room to force her to get dressed and go. So what if it was a little lame to attend a function put together by the school for the kids. At least it meant he could get out of his tiny room! Also, it meant Rae had to sign off the goddamn computer, so he considered it a plus. If the movies completely sucked, at least they could make fun of them together. Mocking things was one of the siblings' favorite activities.


"Shhhhhhhhhutup."

Who: Rae and Charlie
When: laaaaaaate, after curfew.
Where: somewhere between student lounge and cafeteria
What: Rae displays other talents (like lock picking), and makes a new friend?

She didn't know why she needed ice cream so badly. She could have waited until the morning, but Rae was a night owl at heart, and when a craving hit you, it hit you. Maybe it was the conversation she'd had with Arc -- slightly awkward, but entirely her fault, Arc seemed reasonably level headed for a teen mom -- or maybe it was just boredom.

Thus far, TJS sucked. Curfews? What was this, camp? What about the people over 18, like her? Why did she have to listen to a curfew? Ridiculous. So, with this in mind, the little shapeshifter came to pick the lock into the kitchens.

She was on her way back, booty in hand (also, in cardboard unlabeled sticky container), when she froze. Someone had opened a door somewhere. They weren't close, but they were coming. She had no idea if they could hear or smell her. She sniffed, but could pick up nothing. She quickened her pace. She just needed to get back to the female dorms before anyone saw her.
