The Tiberius J. Swann Education Facility

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: Summer and Lloyd
Where: Lloyd's office
When: noon
What: Summer needs someone to talk to!

Nervous? Oh, she was nervous. More so because this was a new school, with a new shrink. She had already spoken to the shrink at her old school, and other grief counselors. She was familiar with the setting - the comfy furniture, the leafy plants, the manicured hands - and that was not what was making her palms sweaty. No, the idea of rehashing the entire story to someone new, someone who might just tell her "get the fuck over it, then!" was what had her knees quivering.

Summer slid herself in through the crack in the door as if she were made of jelly, eyes down. When all of her was free of the doorway, including the ends of her scarf and her bag, she looked up. "Hey. Uhm, Lloyd?"

Who: William and his party guests!!
Where: The tunnels beneath the school
When: Friday night, 9pm
What: A PARTY. WILL IS 111 29! (ssh)

Cassie had outdone herself. The tunnels had taken a lot of tape, fairy lights, decoration and elecricity. There were tables in various stages with booze and just a small amount of food in case people hadn't lined their stomachs. There was good music thumping through the stereo speakers - old rock classics, dance tunes, a variety and a mix.

When Will arrived down in the tunnels a grin crossed his face. This was fantastic. Opening his arms wide he called to Cassie. "Babe you've outdone yourself!" All that was needed was to get this party started. He was dressed in his most comfortable outfit and he was going to look this good even when trashed.

[NOTE: Feel free to crash in and speak to other people than Will. God knows I can't keep rping with everyone!]

What: Summer and Jacob try to fight the spell
Rating: PG-13

Now that Summer knew Jacob was suffering from the same ailment, her approach at this evening's wardrobe changed dramatically. Knowing that her hormones were not a dysfunction of herself but rather the unkind influence of a mysterious force, she attempted to wage war. The young witch marched to Jacob's room wearing a simple tee shirt with a crew neck, long jeans, sneakers, a hoodie on top of the tee shirt, and a ponytail. She had showered (she had at first given thought to skipping this step, but ultimately decided smelling bad was simply not an option) but not styled, primped, or primed anything. Her face was free of makeup with the exception of orange-flavored chap stick. Her nails were chipped from their last date, and she had left them alone. It was her goal to appear as low key and undesirable as possible without actually rubbing dirt on her face and purposely knotting up her hair.

She was holding the chips, crackers, and fruits she had said she was going to bring in a big plastic bag filled with other zip locks within. Under her arm was a long rectangular flat box. When Jacob opened the door, she sucked in a breath, smiled, and exhaled while speaking. "Hey."

This... is going to suck.

At her feet, Sebastian (unleashed, because really, she had no hand to hold a leash) wuffled gently at Jacob and watched him with bright eyes and a wagging tail.

Who: Peyton, Katie, Summer
When: Thursday afternoon
Where: Peyton and Summer's room
What: discussing what's happened to everyone

Peyton tucked in Lyle, looking down at the pathetic big kid. It was almost harder to love him now than it had been right after their fight and break up. He didn't know her anymore. He looked at her as nothing more than a mother figure, which was kinda sick and twisted. What if he was stuck like this forever? Would she be his mom for years to come? She loved him too much to abandon him. And while she knew he loved her, in his strange new way, it wasn't enough. She missed who he was before. She missed having him take care of her. She even missed arguing with him.

Earlier in the day, Peyton had chatted briefly with Katie. If Nox wasn't going to man up and do his damn job, it was good to know that his daughter was taking some sort of initiative. Katie had her memories in tact, which was needed right now. Plus, her devotion to family meant she cared a great deal about fixing this problem. Peyton didn't care about a ton of people in the school, but she cared about enough of them that she had to figure out a solution to restore sanity. Crazy was only fun if it was intentional.

Hearing a light knock on the door, Peyton's eyes went to Lyle, glad when he didn't stir. She got up and answered the door, immediately putting her finger to her lips and whispering. "We have to talk quiet... Lyle's napping." It was a full time job looking after Lyle. Peyton got brief breaks from time to time, thanks to her roommate. Summer had earned serious brownie points the last two days, and the girls were getting along much better as a result.

Peyton ushered Katie inside and motioned to Summer, "Hope you don't mind if she helps us. She doesn't have any memory loss either, and I figure we can use all the complete memories we can get."

Who: Summer and Jacob
When: Wednesday late morning/early afternoon
Where: Somewhere near the Greenhouse
What: First meeting, being caught using magic.

Summer was feeling a little down that morning. She hated to admit it was because her roommate dislike her, but it was. She'd never done anything to Peyton, and now, the first person she ever had to really interact with at this large, intimidating school was someone who had chosen to dislike her. Not only dislike her, but also Crayola her dog. Awful.

It probably looked a little strange, the pretty cow-eyed brunette walking a purple-spotted terrier. When she'd found a comfortable spot she let him off leash --- after doing a sweep for that strange lynx-lycan fellow -- and tossed Sebastian's favorite pink ball. In the sun, his purple spots looked even more noticeable. She had since come to terms with the way he looked. Her primary concern had been whether or not he had been stressed. However, Sebastian did not appear stressed, and, as he wasn't aware of his own image, she no longer felt sorry for him. She wished she could be like him, in fact.

Who: Peyton and Summer
When: Tuesday afternoon
Where: their room
What: Peyton got bored and decided to play dog groomer :)

Tuesday afternoon. Peyton was SUPPOSED to be meeting with her new sponsor, but fuck that noise! Peyton didn't want to meet him. She was bored though. What to do? Peyton looked across the room and spotted Sebastian sitting on Summer's bed. He was perched so perfectly on the end, his little tail started wagging when she looked at him. He was waiting for his master to return, but that wouldn't happen for another hour. Peyton smiled with glee. "I have treats," she cooed. The tail started wagging faster, and as soon as Peyton got up from her own bed, Sebastian followed suit, rushing over to the mini fridge as Peyton walked in that direction.

Peyton knew she'd have to bribe the dog, and she did, excessively. But that didn't make her mischief any easier to carry out. By the time Peyton was done transforming the little terrier, she had some scratches on her arms, purple hair dye all over her clothes, and she was pretty much soaking wet. But it was SO WORTH IT! "Don't look at me like that," she told the dog, who seemed slightly traumatized to have purple spots all over his coat as well as a purple mini mohawk atop his head. "You think you hate it now, but trust me, you'll grow to love it." She plopped down on the ground with him and held out a mirror. "See? That hair was just BEGGING for some punked out style."

Who: Summer and Johannes
When: Friday 1/4/2008
Where: Outside grounds
What:  Sebastian meets Johannes, Johannes wishes he hadn't

"Okay boy, you ready? No, are you READY?" the latter emphasized 'ready' brought a play-bow out of the terrier, which is what Summer wanted. She launched the pink tennis ball as hard as she could in a far direction. Which wasn't actually very far, since she was not athletic whatsoever. She'd always been last pick in gym class. Sebastian took off after the ball like a shot, and she grinned.

Then someone rounded the side of the building, directly in the path of the incoming ball. The smile vanished from her face, and she mentally cringe. The pink ball flew past the man's head a second before Sebastian barked, coming inward at top speed, not quite a foot off the ground.

Who: Summer and Peyton
When: Thursday: 1/3/08
Where: A2 ; their room.
What:  First meeting!


Not only were there girly things on the spare bed (the sheets of which had been changed to a soft pastel green with purple accents), but there was a small new bookshelf, and wall shelves with wire baskets taking up any available wall space on her side of the room. She had touched absolutely nothing of Peyton’s, which explained why her side of the room looked like a Tupperware factory. It was neat, to be sure, but there was just a lot of stuff. Books, art supplies, clothing, potpourri, and other knick knacks that served minimal purpose decorated her shelves and bed stand. The colors suggested she could be anywhere between fifteen and twenty-five, what with the liberal amount of grays and blacks mixed in.
