The Deck, Wednesday After Classes

[life_inshadow]

Tara was in a good mood as the reserves gathered this afternoon, if one tinged with the slightest edge of nervous mania. Kennedy had told her just that morning that Constance was coming for the weekend. Constance the Watcher, who was going to want to meet Tara, and probably judge absolutely everything about her, and was there time for Tara to dye

Arrive + Mingle [9/29]

[life_inshadow]

There's a decent array of noshes this week -- a fruit and veggie tray, little sandwiches, and an assortment of brownies and cookies.

And, as always, there is mingling to do.

Jono was here this week, and perhaps slightly more interested in the mingling thing today than usual. People were getting used to him, he was getting used to people, it all worked out nicely that way.

But he was still steering away from the food.

Alexander had that feeling in his stomach that he really should have skipped today's meeting, but, even with that churning pit there, he still nibbled on some veggies and wondered if he could pass it off that he wasn't feeling apprehensive.

Elphaba had grabbed an apple, as she always did, and took little bites from it. The subject at hand today wasn't quite a happy one, for her. She'd be quiet, off to the side.

Discussion [9/29]

[life_inshadow]

Parents weekend is coming: Should you lie, or should you be out and proud? Discuss.

//What people say to their own families is their own concern,// Jono noted, eyebrows furrowed. //It depends on what people think they can drop onto their parents' shoulders without causing too many problems. What I would be more concerned about would be respecting those who have made the decision not to. Just because my guests might be alright with powers and th'people who use them, doesn't mean that somebody else needs that bomb dropped on their own parents' heads from some 'let yer freak flag fly' plonker who decides to run about showing it all off without warning.//

... Jono was very firmly rooted in the 'I will stay wrapped up and it will take ten people and a tow-truck to drag me out of my room' camp.

"And those of us who can't hide what we are, are we supposed to simply hide ourselves?" Elphaba said with a huff, crossing her arms.

She'd actually been planning to read in her room all weekend, just to avoid the whole ordeal. But it was the principle of the matter she had to stand up for.

Re: Discussion [9/29]

Jonothon folded his arms and narrowed his eyes a little at the huff.

//Don't start that, luv,// Jono replied. //I have to play bloody mute all weekend. And people stare enough as it is.//

Not to mention the smell.

//I'm planning on simply hiding myself. Like I do every time a new pack of students gets brought in. At least you could look completely normal with a bit of make-up.//

Talk to the Leaders [9/29]

[life_inshadow]

Who seem to have a lot to say on the matter.

Dolf certainly did, considering the amount of time he'd spent lecturing people (and nearly getting burned at the stake for it) less than a month previous. Which didn't mean he didn't see the point of keeping quiet on some scores, but really-- it didn't seem necessary here. Pointless, even.

Mulling that, he stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking defiant in the face of his own memories of people long gone.

Yes, he had Opinions. God help them all.

See, Alexander did have a reason not to skip out on the reserves. He had an impressive box of books to deliver to Dolf.

Impressive, that was, until you actually looked at them.

"Quite a selection of them today," he explained. "I had a bit of trouble choosing."

Re: Talk to the Leaders [9/29]

[swordsandsoccer]

"...That is a lot of books," Dolf agreed. His brow scrunched up in a frown. A lot of books, a lot of words-- but that was what he needed, right? To keep learning? He stepped closer to the box. "Your favourite?"
