The Causeway, early morning

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip stood by a large pile of luggage and weapons cases, lit up a cigarette, looked around, and sighed.

Goodbye, Fandom.

[[OOC: If you want to say goodbye to Pip? This would be the time and the place.]]

Gwynn was out and about early, wandering. When she saw Pip with all of his luggage, she hurried over to him. "Pip?"

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip nodded to Gwynn. "Hey Gwynn."

[notafairmaiden]

She bit her lip. "You're going?"

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip nodded. "My grandfather doesn't think I'm getting a tough enough education."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia headed out to meet up with him, trying not to make too big of a deal about it. Like he'd said, he sucked at the big conversations. He sucked at emo, too, so she wasn't going to try to force that on him.

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip waved at her as she approached, trailing smoke from the lit cigarette.

[nadiathesaint]

"So you're really doing it. I don't know, I guess I just kept hoping something would happen and you'd stick around."

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip nodded. "I did too. But... I'm not being given much of a choice in the matter."

[lovechildblair]

Blair hadn't had enough time to order a complete set of 'Peace through Poetry' books for Pip. That was probably a good thing. But he did show up, holding a package under one arm.

[cyclopeanmerc]

"A going away present?"

[lovechildblair]

"Yup!" Blair nodded and held out the package which was a totally moddable meditation mat. "Because presents are good."

[cyclopeanmerc]

"...Sorry for being an idiot, but what's this?"

[strongestgirl]

"Will they laugh at you if I baked you cookies?"

[cyclopeanmerc]

"Depends on what kind of cookies."

[strongestgirl]

"Gingersnaps."

[cyclopeanmerc]

"Those are acceptbly manly," Pip said.

[a_phale]

Aziraphale hadn't heard about Pip's plans for leaving (as he was not very good at the whole email thing), but a handwavy errand for party supplies took him near enough the causeway to notice the young man and his luggage.

There was a sort of finality to the scene that made him want to investigate.

"Mr Bernadette," Aziraphale called out, approaching. "You're not leaving us, are you?"

[cyclopeanmerc]

Pip nodded. "I'm afraid I am. Grandfather pulling me out of this school and enrolling me in another."

[a_phale]

With a frown, Aziraphale said, "Then I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope it's not entirely without your agreement, at least?"

[cyclopeanmerc]

"I can kind of see where he's coming from, at least. At the last test, my performance was not quite up to snuff."
