Just the thought of going through with this was making Eli feel sick. So sick, in fact, that he had already thrown up twice today and was compulsively sucking on Tic-Tacs just in case. So many things could go wrong. What if Nandi was disappointed when it was him that showed up? What if she wasn't? What if he got nervous again and puked on her? She was already standing at the door, and he didn't have time for this kind of wembling. She deserved to see him face to face. He had already kinda bailed on her once, and even though she wouldn't know it was him this time, he would know. And he would feel like a jerk forever.

Smoothing down his shirt and adjusting his fedora, Eli swallowed down the rest of the mint in his mouth and strode over to Nandi, giving her his best smile. "Hi," he said shyly, holding out a wrist corsage he had made out of dandelions. "I got this for you."

Who: Nandi and Eli
What: Climbing the water tower
Where: On campus
When: Afternoon
Rating: PG 13

Moving in wasn't a very big deal when you'd been living in the dorms all summer. Because Eli didn't have anywhere else to go, except sometimes his brother's room, he had been on campus all summer and it had been boring as hell. On the plus side he had perfected his ollie kick, but on the downside he was so sick of looking at this place he almost wanted to burn it down. But with parents and students milling about, it was easier to wander around and not have security watch you too closely, and that's exactly what he was going to do. He had walked along the walls, skatedboarded through the parking lot, rolled down the lawn, and his next target was the water tower. He didn't really like water, but since it was contained inside, he figured it would be fine.

Holding his skateboard at his side, Eli made his way to the ladder at the bottom, but he paused when he saw someone else standing there. A girl. A pretty girl. Swallowing, Eli took a breath, gained some composure and strutted over, looking up like she was. "Rumor has it there's a dead guy up there," he said casually. "Some guy offed himself and they never bothered to get him down."

Who: Adora and Eli
When: Saturday Night
Where: A bar in downtown Danvers
What: The new acting Director needs a break from being on campus and bumps into a familiar face.

Acting Director. That wasn't something that he was expecting to happen. Of course he had said yes when he was asked and he could understand the logic behind it because he would consider himself to be one of the most stable, most logical people at the entire school but... It was still unexpected, and not knowing how long it would last was certainly a bit disconcerting. Eli Eden was a complete and total control freak, a fact that most people knew nothing about, and being unsettled, in any sense of the word, completely and totally threw him off.

Perhaps it was this, combined with the fact that he had yet to find anyone that would remotely come close to what he was looking for in this place, save a child that was far too young for the responsibilities, had him here, in this dirty, dingy, some might even say seedy, bar, in a part of town that he was certain he would run absolutely no risk of running into any of his students. He was already onto his third glass of scotch on the rocks and there were at least a dozen or so crushed out cigarettes in the ashtray that sat in front of him at the bar where he sat.

There was a woman at the bar that had taken an immediate interest in him. She had offered her company and, at first, he had accepted. But then the headache came, and every time he looked at her, all that he could see was the sin clinging to her. It was like this thick, vile black sludge that she couldn't possibly hide or wash away.

It made his stomach churn as she proceeded to dance for him, and he had attempted to blind himself from it for a time. But by the end of his third glass, he could take no more, and as she moved in to attempt to grind herself upon him, he grabbed her by the wrist and shoved her hard away. "Leave me." The words were practically growled out and with a simpering pout upon her lips, the woman did as she was told, taking only a few moments to find someone else who interested her just as much as he had.

A finger tapped upon the rim of his glass was indication that he wanted a forth, and his eyes closed as he felt a familiar energy pressing in. Adora. Either she was passing by or she was coming in. "Leave it." The bottle. It would make the woman's job easier if she did.

WHO: Ava and Eli
WHAT: Ava meets her sponsor.
WHERE: Eli's office
WHEN: Monday afternoon.

Ava was wondering how long this was going to take. Not that it mattered.... she had no other specific plans for the day, she was just idly thinking. She really knew nothing about her sponsor, Professor Eden, so this was completely unknown territory for her. Not good when she had to try and get him to agree to a couple of requests. She just hoped he was as nice as Blake, it would sure make having him as her sponsor better if she could get along with him easily.

She was already in a good mood after joking around with Xander in his journal and so she stood outside Eli's office wearing a blue blouse, jeans, boots and most importantly a genuine smile. Raising one pale hand she knocked softly at the door and ran her fingers through the loose curls of her hair as she waited for a response.

Who: Adora, Olivia and Eli
When: Wednesday Afternoon
Where: Adora's office
What: Olivia happens to pop by Adora's Office, then Eli shows up and Adora sets her sights

The only sounds in Adora's office were the quiet tapping of her fingers on her computer's keyboard as she casually typed in the name of James McCafferty's stepfather, Billy Idol's Rebel Yell playing from a CD player across the room, and the ticking of her clock on her desk. Adora's hair was down, strands of her - at the moment more blonde than brown from the summer sun - hair was in her eyes as she kept scrolling through various Wikipedia articles online. There wasn't much that she could find out that would help her right now, and she was slowly coming to the very delicious realization that she would, in fact, need to meet with James himself, find the information she needed her own way.

Private lessons always seemed to work out better for her than the students anyway, she had found. Closing her eyes and running her tongue along her luscious red lips, Adora leaned back in her chair, crossing one leg over the other as she tried to think. She would need to take action soon, as there was only a week or so til classes began, and if she wanted to get out and meet McCafferty's stepfather, that needed to be done soon.

But, hello? What was this? Adora's eyebrow rose just a little as she heard the sounds of high heels outside her door, and she perhaps wondered if it was darling Director Swann here to pick another fight with her. With a knock at the door this time, Adora chuckled softly. "Come in," She purred, going back to working at her computer.
