The Tiberius J. Swann Education Facility

Who: Frankie and Kindle
When: Monday afternoon
Where: out and about in Maui
What: sister time!

Frankie and Kindle were both wearing bikinis, but because of their wings, they were also wearing clothing over the top of the itty bitty stringy things. Ignorant humans made life so damn hard sometimes! Frankie wished she could bask in the sun on a public beach without causing a riot. Instead, she and Kindle had been forced to catch rays at some of Starbuck's secret spots. But that was for later. Right now, they needed to do some exploring.

"Kai said there's a burger place just a little up the road. Her friends like it, but, you know, she's never actually eaten there." Frankie was craving meat, but she was polite enough to go out to get it, rather than bringing it back to a home of vegetarians. Thankfully, Kindle had been in the mood for hamburgers too, so they set off on foot.

It was hot and sunny and just all together fabulous. But, being Hawaii, there was always a risk of rain, so she'd packed supplies in her beach bag just in case. It included her towel as well, so that she and Kindle could hit up a spot to sleep in the sun for a few hours later. "We should see if Pearl could make something to glamour our wings. It would be great if there was a way to make them invisible. I should have thought of that a few weeks ago. Nox has those bracelet things that make his claws look like regular fingernails. I bet Pearl or another witch could make something like that for our wings."

Who: Wesley and Kindle
Where: A bar and then...
When: late weds night
What: Kindle needs a riiiide

A drunken text from a student and former conquest was what this Wednesday amounted to. Or was it Thursday now? It was probably nearing midnight as he headed into town, searching for the bar sign he'd recognised passing about 100 times. He'd never gone in, always wondered what it was like. Now his main concern was wondering what a drunken Kindle would look like sitting haphazardly on a bar stool...

Walking through to the bar, Wesley looked around for his tipsy friend and instantly spotted her at the bar. "Hey, you," he smiled warmly at her, needing to get her out of here and back into her bed safe and sound as quickly as possible. "You causing some trouble?"

Who: Kindle and Wes
What: Bugging the old man.
Where: BGH?
When: Sunday evening.

The fire sprite had been working every shift she could possibly get since Frankie left, trying to keep her mind occupied so she didn't spend too much time feeling confused by missing her. Today was no exception on the work front. Kindle had just finished a twelve hour shift but she didn't feel like heading back to the school, so what was she to do? Annoy someone she rarely talked to anymore of course.

It was about seven when she stood outside the front door, chinese takeaway bag in hand, and called Wes. "It's Kindle. I'm outside with food. Let me in." Message delivered she hung up before he could reply and waited, still wearing the diner uniform, with a faux leather jacket thrown over it.

Who: Frankie, Fox and (later) Kindle
When: Evening
Where: The Boston Apartment
What: Fox tells Frankie about his talk with Vinnie and things get interesting.

( So no injuries? )

Who: Kindle and Leo
What: Kindle is left alone after the blinding and Leo is going to help hopefully
Where: Student lounge
When: Wednesday afternoon

Kindle had already panicked at discovering she was blind, but then someone had come and gone from what she could hear, followed by a phone call from someone else in the room and then someone else came and went until she was left alone in the student lounge. At least she thought she was alone. She couldn't hear anyone else.

There was about ten minutes of her sitting there with nothing happening before she decided that she had to move, so up she got and headed slowly and very falteringly towards the direction she thought the dorms were in. Luckily it was a route she took quite a lot so she should pretty much know where she was going but this was a student area, things got moved all the time, especially the tables and chairs, depending on the people around. Walking into an armchair Kindle cursed under her breath and moved around it carefully, only to walk into a table which caused her to let out a string of obscenities. 

This was where she stopped momentarily, trying hard to remember how the room looked when she walked in earlier. Her neck already hurt from being thrown back in the shockwave and now she was going to have a load of bruises too. Fantastic,

Who: Jacob and OPEN
Where: the student lounge
When: afternoon
What: Among other things, Jacob's spell backfires.

The hangover from hell increased Jacob's determination to take action. First he needed to decide what to do and chose magic as his medium. Pearl was unlikely to see reason through normal means of him telling her, so maybe a spell would help matters. His brow knit together as he gathered his magical materials, leaving the room to head to the student lounge. It was unusual for him to be casting magic in such a public space, but there was a first time for everything. Maybe Meike would be there to see it, maybe not.

What he did not notice were his shaking hands, the paleness of his skin, and the rings under his eyes; they seemed inconsequential compared to the goal he had in mind. Motivation spell. If nothing else came from it, it'd teach her a lesson which she sorely needed. Jacob slid the drawstring bag off his shoulder when he reached the student lounge and opened it towards the side of the room. He withdrew a book, because he just needed to remind himself of the spell he was doing, and a snack helped him to keep awake. A muffin seemed like the best bet right now and he finished it within a couple of minutes as he read, sitting on the edge of an armchair.

Jacob retrieved the tiny plastic bag containing a few strands of Pearl's hair and stared at it in his palm. A fresh wave of discontent hit him, his brow furrowing, and he clenched his fist in resolution. Yes, this had to happen. He knew this without a shadow of a doubt.

Who: Kindle and Jonah                                                         
What: Chinese and talk.
Where: Jonah's apartment.
When: Friday evening around 7pm.

He wanted to talk? And he actually opted for take away to 'give him a break'? What was going on with her sponsor? Kindle was definitely curious but then she had got totally distracted by Christmas shopping and forgot about it. Well, until she was on her way across to his apartment. Having picked up the chinese in town and with shopping bags also weighing her down she had taken a taxi back to the school and that gave her time to ponder it again. She hoped this wasn't more sulking about her and Wes, but then he could have just talked to her about that via texts or something. No, he didn't seem moody enough for anything to do with Wes. He was making jokes and everything. Hmm...

She still had the shopping bags and the food bags as she stood outside his room and knocked. As soon as the door opened Kindle swept past him with a smile. "Hey. I come bearing foods and secretive presents but yours are hidden so it's ok." She went straight to grabbing plates and glasses. "Chopsticks or forks? I think I bought too much food so you better be somewhat hungry or willing to eat leftovers tomorrow."

Who: Everyone!
What: Winter Social
Where: Recreation Center
When: Saturday, starting at 7pm

As expected, the school had turned the recreation center on its ear with awesomeness. What was once a place of pool tables and board games had become a frosty winter wonderland. The walls were decorated in classic Victorian Christmas fashion, a garland of evergreen and velvet ribbons strung along the ceiling, burning gas lamps filling the room with a soft glow. The refreshmant tables were draped in dark green tablecloths, shining silver platters and a sparkling crystal punch bowl serving finger foods and warm cider. Hot cocoa was available in perfectly polished silver pitchers. Classical Christmas music played through the stereo system, giving the room an old world feel. The most striking piece in the room, however, was the fifteen foot evergreen tree that took up the far back corner. Covered in ribbons, glass balls and tiny colored lights, it seemed to give off an ethereal glow. A brilliant white star topeed the display, a shining beacon that attracted the eye like moths to a flame. This was the room where students and staff could sit in overstuffed chairs, sip mulled cider and talk quietly, and simply bask in the glow of a warm winter evening.

For those who desired more kick in their Feliz Navidad, the basketball court upstairs looked like a disco Christmas- mirrored balls hung from the ceiling while strings of blinking colored lights hung corner to corner across the ceiling. Long strands of tinsel were draped over the table where the turntables were set up, the hired DJ playing typical dance club music. Whilst wearing a Santa hat, of course.

Outside, the grounds were still covered in the new snow that had fallen on Sunday, with a crisp fresh layer added courtesy of the ice mage faculty members. The outdoor pool was also frozen solid, and ice skates were available to borrow from the rec center gym. Paths were shoveled in the snow so students could walk from place to place, each path illuminated by white pillar candled placed inside frosted glass bulbs set along the footpaths.

Who: Kindle, Ophie, Simon, Fisher, James and anyone else who gets pulled to this thing.
What: Thansgiving for the ones staying.
Where: Taking over the cafeteria!
When: Thursday at the school's Thanksgiving meal!

Kindle was sort of looking forward to this, not that she would admit it. It wasn't as good as it could have been if there was a way for both Jonah and Wes to be there too, but the people who were going to be there seemed alright, and she had never done something like this. Today might actually be fun, and she had to admit she should start talking to more people than staff, family and her roommate. This could be a good start.

Having discussed with Ophie the fact that neither of them could cook they were taking advantage of the cafeteria and it's food. Kindle had also got pie and cake and stuff last night from the diner she worked in on their days off. Once the stuff had been hauled in between the two of them she sat down with her roommate and waited for the others to arrive.

"Are we doing this right?"

Who: Kindle and Wes
What: Kissing it better.
Where: His apartment
When: Wednesday evening
Rating: R? (I am useless with ratings)

It was safe to say Kindle hadn't had the best day herself after a revelation with Vinnie about the Halloween party. Then there was Jonah and all the things he was struggling with, and no matter what he said she was sure he was not fine about it, which, unusually for Kindle who didn't do worrying for others, meant she was worried about him. So the answer to all this was to drink, with someone not really involved. Ok, Wes was involved, seeing as who his brother was, but still, she thought he was a good candidate. Besides, it would be worth it to tease him about getting punched. 

As she walked over to his apartment she was smoking, the rest of the packet in her bag along with some alcohol. A smile sat on her lips as she thought about the texts, despite there only having been a few exchanged, and her body temperature was running just a little high of a normal person. That was probably a good thing to be fair seeing as she was only wearing a military style shirt dress and boots, and yes she had been wearing it all day, but admittedly there had been jeans involved during the day. Her excuse was that her room was too hot for jeans, and that was what she was sticking with. So there.

Soon enough she was knocking on his door, softly so as not to announce her presence to any other staff that might be around.

Who: Kindle and Frankie
Where: Frankie's room
What: Kindle has a secret that needs out.
When: Sunday afternoon


This was going to be..... interesting. Kindle had set in her mind that today was the day she spoke to her sister... as her sister. Then she had spoken to her and the other girl seemed to be already moping about something. Suddenly she was arguing with herself in her head, one part saod "yes use this as an excuse and don't do it today, back out!" Then another part was telling her to just do it! And yet another part was saying "Kindle! Be a goddamn human being and go and look after her. Make sure she's ok!" The last one won out it seemed. Who knew? Maybe the moment would still present itself.

Chocolate and cigarettes in pockets and coffee in hands, along with ten million of those little milk and sugar packets swiped from the diner she now worked in, Kindle juggled everything and knocked on Frankie's door softly. "Frankie... it's me, Kindle."

Who: Kindle and Jonah
What: Kindle is freaked out.
Where: Jonah's apartment
When: Wednesday Afternoon

Kindle was freaking out to put it simply. How was she meant to deal with finding out that she had ended up at school with her sister? It was........freaky. She was even more pissed with herself because her first thought after sending the message to Jonah had been that Sean would make it better, and the fact she even thought of him frustrated her. She wasn't letting herself dwell on the fact that Jonah had been her very first thought, that would have made today even harder if she started pondering that entire mess. No. He was her staff sponsor, and her friend, of course she would go to him to talk. Simple. 

Kindle was less than the ten minutes she said she would be. She really had just shut the computer and headed to his apartment, already dressed from the morning in denim mini skirt, leggings, converses and an over sized, chopped, Bowie t-shirt. She had enough sense to not make it look too apparent where she was going. She was counting on most of the teachers and students being in lessons or something and not hanging around where they could get the wrong idea. She especially did not want to run into Vinnie or Frankie right now. So she hurried, probably only taking five minutes before she was knocking on his door.

Who: Kindle and Jonah
What: Kindle demands sponsor time! And possibly food!
Where: Jonah's apartment.
When: Wednesday Evening (24/10/07)

Kindle was bored, and so far the food they served in that dining area was not impressing her. Solution? She had decided to bother her sponsor, Jonah, and try and get him to feed her. Genius plan really! Some might say it had it's flaws, such as her not meant to be in staff rooms, but she couldn't care less. It was perfect plottage to her. 

She did knock, but when there was no answer she tried the door, and snickering at finding it unlocked she let herself in, wondering where the hell Jonah was. It took great effort to not poke around the place too much, incredible effort. Ok, so she did look a little, checked out any music lying around, moved a few clothes around in order to see other things, looked through his fridge...... Then she realised she desperately needed to pee, so she dumped her bag on the nearest surface and went on a search for the bathroom.

Which was where she was when he came in. The bathroom door was open, and she was pulling faces at her reflection as she raked her fingers through her hair and put it back up in a messy bun. Her figure was encased in ripped jeans and a black shirtdress. She offered no greeting, just waited for him to work it out or not notice at all, she would walk back into the main room in her own time anyway.

Who: Kindle and Jonah
When: Saturday Afternoon
Where: His office
What: Meeting her sponsor!
Warnings: Some mild language.

Kindle wanted this over and done with. Time to meet the guy, try not to play too antagonistically, let him pretend to care about her issues which he could not understand in the least according to her, and get out of there. She thought it sounded doable., just about....

She was about 5 minutes later than they had agreed, deliberately mind you. She wanted to test how uptight he was, so she had purposely not even left her room untl she should have been there. If the door was open or not she just breezed into the office and stood there, dressed in ripped jeans and a t-shirt she had ripped the neck out of so that it could fall off her shoulders and she had tied the back up to fit slightly more and sit around the level of her bellybutton. Across the front of the black top was written 'Deep Pink Strip club' along with a stripper graphic. and the back proclaimed 'Stripper', all in hot pink. 

"Hey, I'm Kindle" She said simply, stretching up as she threw her hair into a very messy bun with a hairband that was previously around her wrist.
