The Tiberius J. Swann Education Facility

Who: Rorie and Addie
What: Awkward Meetings
Where: Student Lounge
When: Midmorning
Rating: TBA

Rorie hadn't been terribly busy. In fact he was down right bored. He'd gotten a tour the day before from his neighbor Fox, had a few chats and plans for the night, talked to his parents and let them know he was fine and at school. Now. . . He had nothing really left to do besides sit around and twiddle his thumbs. That lasted about five seconds before he was up and off looking around. He'd made his way to the men's common room found the snack machines and raided them for a few snacks and a drink, even though he'd already eaten breakfast not that long ago. Still. . . What was sitting around and watching TV without the horrible snacks that were going to make him fat one day?

So he marched to the Student lounge because it had the biggest TV and plopped down flipping through the channels. He was the only one there, everyone else he assumed was working or off on vacation or doing something that he had no invitation to. Settling on, gasp!, Cartoon Network he dropped the remote to the side and opened up a Honey Bun and took a bite as he watched Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Yep, this was going to be an exciting summer, he decided. Honey Bun's and cartoons, every guy's dream.

Who: Addie and Jacob
Where: Jacob's room
When: late afternoon
What: another magical project

Time for another project. Jacob always liked to have another magical focus and this was for a good cause as any, to make people happy. Children happy, apparently. He didn't know when he was the sweet type, but it couldn't be helped. Addie had asked him to help her and he couldn't say no. They had agreed to meet in his room to work on it and before then, he sifted through the books he had in order to find the right spells to create what was necessary.

He waited for Addie to turn up and unlocked the door, having a sip or two of soda. If only it were some alcohol, but otherwise he wouldn't be able to cast any spells as it was. A strand of red licorise dangled from his lips as he tore off a piece with his teeth. Finally she entered the room and he moved to the bed so they could have a more comfortable place to study. "You owe me for this," he said. "If only we'd be paid for this." He was somewhat grumbly about this because money was always an issue.

Who: Ada and Addie
What: Roomie time
Where: Their room!
When: 9ish?

Blah blah and blah again. Something wasn't right. Ada could feel it, and it was so frustrating to not be able to do anything to fix it or even to validate her concern. Addie, she figured, had the right idea about a distraction being the best way to proceed at the moment. After studying, she went into town for a six pack of longnecks, stashed them in her backpack and broke school rules by sneaking it in. There was already harder stuff around the room but it was finals week and she didn't want to head down hangover road.

The beer was still cold when she got back to the room, thank goodness. There was no way the entire six pack could fit in their already mostly-full shared minifridge. She shoved as many of the bottles as she could into the limited space and just set the others out, cracking one open for herself while she waited. Her cell phone buzzed, signaling that Jace had returned yet another phone call with a text message. "busy. catch ya ltr babe."

She sighed and tossed the phone down on her bed. If he wasn't worried about talking, maybe she shouldn't be fretting constantly over the relationship. Convincing oneself to stop worrying, however, was easier said than done.

Who:  Addie, Fox, and Darien
What: Corruption
Where: Fox's room, then Darien's
When: After this

Addie had no words for her recent conversation.  The guy was at a total loss.  Had no idea what he'd gotten into.  Oh, it would be so fun to screw with his head.

As for Fox, well, she had yet to really meet him, but any guy who would volunteer for a threesome with another guy was a-ok in her book.  With these thoughts in mind, she skipped down the hall, chains jingling merrily.  "Room service," she called, complete with Latina accent, as she knocked on the door.  If he was as devious as he seemed to be in the conversation, this was going to be a very entertaining evening.

Who: Addie, Jacob and Pearl
Where: the underground room on campus
When: afternoonish
What: potentially making an art gallery.

It had taken some hard work and it'd still require more, but at last Jacob was able to show Addie what he had done so far. He couldn't wait to see the reaction on her face and headed towards his sister's room first, knocking on the door. "Hey," he said. "Ready to go?" He hoped that she wouldn't take too long so he could get to Addie's place. It was almost sad that he was so excited, but he was going to make this epic. Why couldn't he show off a little?

Then again, it could be said that part of his reason for being was to show off, because everyone had to know how powerful he was. He waited for Pearl and then led the way to knock on Addie's door. "Come on, Ice Grenade!" he called. "I am not going to wait for very long!" He hoped that was enough reason for her to hurry so he could get a move on - the more work they could get done on the gallery, the better.

Who: Addie and Will
What: Time to try that partying thing again
Where: In Boston
When: Evening

Addie was looking forward to a second night out with Will.  He'd promised to entertain her this time.  But first, a good tussle.  Now that was entertaining.  She was surprised the Angel had agreed to it since he'd seemed pretty upset about hurting her last time.  Of course, he'd been <i>trying</i> to hurt her and that's what upset him most likely.  She'd egged him on to it, though.  And she fully expected to lose this fight, but then, she was hoping to give him a run for his money.  At the least, she planned on surprising him.  What?  He didn't actually expect her to play fair, did he?

Waiting by her car in the garage, she texted her brother to let him know she'd be leaving for the gym soon.  They could have sparred here at the scool, but she didn't want an audience of students.  They wouldn't even really have an audience at the gym.  Just Danny.  And he wasn't really an audience, just there to keep the gym open.

Who: Addie and Nate
What: Some distractions
Where: In Boston
When: After sunset

Addie was still trying to place this older vampire dude, and couldn't. Wouldn't be the first time she'd ever met up with someone she didn't know. But this was probably one of the most innocent cases of that. Of course, it would kill her reputation if anyone knew what she was doing. Looking out for some guy with a big hurt. She was too tough and cold for that. At least that's what she liked to think.

Leaning against her car, she waited. She hoped he wouldn't be too uncomfortable with her getup. She was wearing her usual Tripp pants and angry t-shirt combination, but that's not why he might be uncomfortable. What might be uncomfortable would be that she'd stick out like a sore thumb compared to everyone else.

Who: Malakai and Addie
When: Afternoon, after lunch
Where: Professor Hardy's office
What: Addie wants to create havoc with her new sponsor.  Where's Cassie when you need her?


Damned upcoming finals. Malakai was seriously considering giving everyone either a take home to be turned in the last day of class, before the week of tests, or just a huge ass essay that was due the last day. But both of those required him sitting down in front of a computer and coming up with questions and ideas to test their knowledge of the lore. Bloody hard to do when he'd only come in during the middle of the year and their professor before him was covering all sorts of wild topics with no plan. Idiot.

Dragging a hand through his hair for what had to be the hundreth time that afternoon, Malakai shoved back from the desk. He was getting bored grading their work, seeing the same wrong answer again and again. Did they all just get together after class and select an answer from a hat? It was ridiculous. Leaning back in his chair, he held his hand in front of his face, easily conjuring a ball of fire to play with. To amuse himself, he tossed the flaming sphere into the air and caught it single handedly. It was something to do, something to occupy his mind as he sat and weighed the various options for the student's exams. What would be the best method to both test their comprehension and analysis powers without expecting pure material regurgitation? The ball continued to soar into the air, flames tickling his palm as he caught it.

Turning his head, he picked the pen back up, continuing to play with the ball as he continued to grade the papers. He could hear students walking up and down the halls, and his ears twitched as he picked out a set of footsteps leading to his door and stopping just outside. Forewarned, he continued to casually toss the ball of fire and grade, his sensitive nose picking up a scent on the other side of the door. One he recognized easily though he'd only met her once. Keeping his eyes on the ink covered pages, he smirked. "Hello there, Addie," he greeted as the door opened.

Who: Addie and Jacob
What: Escapism
Where: Garage, then traveling
When: Evening

Addie knew her Magic Man was having a rough time.  She'd seen the posts about Dizzy's death, and she'd seen the quote he'd posted.  Sometimes she wished she was a painter, and that words could be painted.  Not the words, but the thoughts.  Yeah, yeah, art was bringing the words to life and blah blah blah.  The cryokinetic knew all the theoretical bullshit, and hey, she was an artist.  She brought thoughts to life.  But it was different.  The words he'd found were beautiful, and she wished she could have made them real.  Ah well.  Guess the mundane world, reality as it were, and all it's dumbass restrictions would continue to apply.

Of course, that didn't prevent Addie from giving her friend a nice dose of escapism, or a chance at it.  There were plenty of alternate realities to be created in this world, and she had every intention of creating one for him if he wanted it.  Knowing that Jacob might not be so cool with illicit substances right now, she'd made sure to keep it limited to pot.  See, she did have a sensitive side.  Besides, he was in no headspace to be going on a trip right now.  You brought your baggage with you, and he didn't need that kind of trip right now, decidedly not.  Nor did she need him to get stupid and start permanently living in any chemically created alternate realities.  He was better than that.

The blond was leaning against her car, awaiting her metaphorically battered and bruised friend.  "Hey Magic Man.  Any destination requests?" she asked when appeared.

Placeholder for Addie/Ada, tentatively set for Wednesday

Who: Addie and Will
Where: Roof then Addie's room
When: Evening
What: Addie has a surprise

God <i>damn</i> him!  Addie had been all over the fucking school looking for the sonofabitch, and he was nowhere.  Not in his room, the cafeteria, student lounges...  <i>Nowhere</i>.  So, now she had to look in the less likely places.  And here she was trying to do something nice.  He was such an ass.

Addie liked going up to the roof to get away from things, and it gave her a good vantage point.  So up she went.  Whaddaya know?  She had always been a good guesser.  "So, feeling <i>City of Angels</i> tonight?  Cuz, you know, dark angels brooding at the top of buildings kinda got started there."  Smirking, she moved up next to him.  She looked like a cheshire cat - quite pleased with herself.

Who: Addie and Jacob
When: After dinner
Where: Jacob's room
What: Addie has a project!

Addie needed something to do.  Not that she didn't have a full load of classes, work, and partying to occupy her time.  But she needed to keep herself busy when she wasn't doing any of those three, which happened to be tonight.  Time to see if her blond Magic Man was free.

"Open up or I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow you..."  Yes, big booming voice.  Yes, lots of pounding on the door.  Embarrassment ensuing?  Check!  Addie was grinning ridiculously and laughing a bit even.  And she came bearing gifts.  Gifts of munchies.  She knew what kinds of snacks Jacob seemed to dig and had loaded up on them.  Hey, if she was gonna ask him for help, she had better pay up somehow.

Who: Malakai and Addie
When: Late Friday night, after curfew
Where: Outside on the grounds
What: Mal's out for a late night walk and catches Addie outside.


Malakai had really come to like his late night walks around the campus. He was old enough to protect himself, hell, he'd been doing just that for longer than most people could count generations. Walking the grounds by moonlight gave him time to think. Part of it he used to plan his next lesson for his class, and figuring out what was going to be expected on their final. The other part of his time outside he used it to just relax. He hadn't had much time for that over the centuries. Time to sit and breathe, occasionally shift and hunt some of the wildlife in the forest. He knew well enough which were shifters and which were beast, so he was never concerned about accidentally attacking a student. Though his stomach rumbled, he figured he could solve that with a simple gyro back in his apartment, rather than a whole deer.

Turning to head back to his room, he sniffed the air as was his habit, catching scent of a human, and not any of the security. Curious, he followed the scent. Most obvious was the scent of alcohol, smoke and a few illegal substances, but under all that was the smell of winter. As he walked closer to the source, Malakai racked his brain for who it could be that would smell like that. The first answer he came to was Addie, one of the students he sponsored, and that was only because of the human wintery scent. He hadn't met her enough to really get to know her.

Rounding the corner, he wasn't surprised to find his guess right on the mark. "Good evening, Addie. Any reason you're out so late?"

Who: Addie and Will
Where: Garage, then city
When: Evening
What: Sinning, er, clubbing

Addie was looking forward to her adventure with Will.  She didn't know much about the guy, and that made this adventure all the more appealing.  He was an angel, she gathered, or rather, assumed.  And she remembered him disappearing or being hurt, or something.  Eh.  Most of the people around here seemed so preoccupied with their own lives that the blond figured they didn't need her attention.

She had a vague idea of who Will was and wondered if he'd like a Goth night.  Better yet, maybe a blood bar.  She'd ask him before she picked a destination.  For the evening, she had picked her standard Tripp pants, strappy bitch boots, a black tee with green lettering ("Fear me/I have the power to destroy you"), and matching green and black plastic bracelets.  She even added some green hair extensions to her already wildly streaked hair.  Leaning against her car, she glowered at the entrance.  That was as inviting as she got upon a first meeting.  At least until he proved himself interesting.  She didn't doubt he would.  But Hell would freeze over before she'd let him know that.

Who: Addie and Jacob
Where: Garage, then Jacob's room
When: Evening
What: Enchanting art

Why the fuck she had agreed to bring this monstrosity to him was beyond her.  He could have damn well dragged his ass out to the junkyard.  This thing was easily several hundred pounds.  It was made of scrap metal and it stood about 5'.  She had help loading it, but once she got to the school, she was SOL.  Danny had lent her his truck, but that didn't help her get it from the garage to Jacob's room.  She certainly wasn't going to mess with visitor's passes and that kind of crap.

Flipping out her phone, she called Jacob's number.  "Get your ass to the garage and bring a spell to move this piece of crap to your room."  She didn't wait for him to answer as she hung up and muttered, "Fucking making me drag this thing around."  While the actual labor of dragging this thing around was annoying, she was looking forward to working with Jacob on art.  He did have it in him, no matter what he said, and she'd make sure he realized it.

Who: Ada and Addie
When: Sunday afternoon
Where: The dormitories
What: Roomies meet, a case of mistaken identities ensues, fake life stories are fabricated in an epic bullshitting contest
Rating: R for language stuffs
Status: Complete

What: Surprise visit and TBA.

( Another day had passed. )

Who: Addie and Jacob
Where: Jacob's room
When: afternoon
What: She checks up on him.

After the events of Wednesday, Jacob was a shell of the man he used to be. He had no desire to go out and eat breakfast or lunch, though he had a granola bar in his nightstand. Sitting on his bed, listening to music on his portable music player and reading a magical textbook was all right. It became boring after a short while, so he changed to his laptop and watched some flash cartoons on the Internet.

It was as though he was still numb and had no idea how to make everything better. He screwed up, badly, and admitting his feelings with the possibility of being rejection was so difficult. Self-hatred was now strong and no doubt no one would talk to him. They probably thought he was crazy and who knew, they were right. In the back of his mind, but Jacob didn't want to admit it.

He wanted to have something to drink although that was a bad idea. Everything would be better if he was still drunk, tied to a chair so he wouldn't be able to escape or whatever. Jacob ran a hand through his hair, sighing, and leaned back against the wall. Fuck everything was still his motto, but not a very effective one. Jacob needed to try harder to keep people in his life and not push them away by saying the wrong thing. This depended on if people were worth the trouble.

Who:  Addie and Xander
What:  Checking out Addie's lingerie
When: Thursday evening
Where:  Addie's room

Addie was looking forward to this evening.  An incubus seemed like interesting entertainment.  She had gotten together an outfit as promised, but it was no kitty outfit.  She didn't do costumes, per say.  She had on a zip-up shirt that she had zipped only to about her bellybutton and a short pleated skirt, schoolgirl style, in black and white with plenty of zippers.  And her favorite pair of bitch boots.  Underneath all of which was some nice leather and lace lingerie.  Normally she didn't wear this kind of outfit.  She was more comfortable in a pair of Tripp pants and an obnoxious t-shirt.  But it was fun to dress out of character now and then.

At the knock on the door, she shouted, "It's open."  She was standing at the makeshift bar she'd erected on the vacant side of the room.  "What's your poison?" she asked as soon as he entered.

Who: Addie and Kim
What: Clash of the Titans
Where: Random hallway in the girls' dorm
When: Wednesday evening

It had taken her exactly less than one hour to make her top of the Most Hated list here at TJS. That had to be a record. Well, Most Hated on some people's list. Addie felt bad for Starbuck. Well, as best as she could. Clearly, with friends like the ones who ratted on him, he had very little need of enemies. All they had succeeded in was spreading rumors and making him miserable. The blond didn't like seeing good guys suffer. Danny was a good guy and it wrenched her heart every time she saw it happening to someone else because it made her think of her brother. And if anyone ever realized that, she would shove hot pokers in their eyes. Just to make sure they also realized that there was no way her heart could wrench - since she didn't actually have one.

Of course, none of these thoughts were really on her mind. She was rocking out to her MP3 player, having made a successful foray into the kitchen for some much needed frozen dairy type treats. She didn't really much notice the other woman sharing the corridor with her. She had no reason to. Yet.
