Streets of Milieux

Paige got off the bus and slung her backpack over her shoulder while the driver opened the compartment under the bus and pulled out her battered suitcase. It was hard to believe that her life was reduced to these two bags, though the social worker assured her that more of her belongings would be shipped and the rest of the things in the house would

"It's not. They actually enslave you and make you wash floors with toothbrushes," Nate greeted.

...possibly not the best way to be greeted in town my a great tall man with a shiny metal arm and a glowy eye.

[angelandwitch]

Paige gaped and stared for a moment.

"Uh... okay."

She was kind of speechless. And a little terrified.

"You transferring in to the school?" Nate asked, rubbing the edge of his right brow with his thumb.

[angelandwitch]

"Yes," Paige replied, unconsciously taking a step away from him. "Do you... work there?"

Mack was out for a jog -- not that he needed the exercise, he just kind of missed jogging with Ronny.

He slowed to a stop, though, when he caught sight of the girl. "Hey," he said, frowning slightly. "You okay?"

[angelandwitch]

"Yeah, just trying to find my way to the Servant's Quarters," Paige said. "I'm supposed to be living there."

[6mil_dvdplayer]

"Oh, I can show you," Mack offered, suddenly quite eager to be helpful. "That's where I live. You need help with your bags?"

[angelandwitch]

Paige smiled. At least he looked normal, unlike the guy with the glowy eye and metal arm.

"Thanks, but this is all I have," she said, indicating the backpack and the suitcase on wheels she was dragging behind her. "So you're a student here?"

Jake was meandering his way back to the dorms now his class for the day was out the way.

He had his t-shirt tucked into the back pocket of his jeans. This place was damn sticky even without his extra werewolf heat, and he does tend to take any excuse not to have to wear it.

Although he had no idea who the girl was, he still grinned like he did, and raised a hand in greeting.

[angelandwitch]

Paige returned the smile and wave.

At least this place had cute boys. Cute, shirtless boys.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.

Jake paused, assessing her, before falling into step a few feet away. "You're new," he said. "Aren't you."

[angelandwitch]

"What gave it away?" Paige asked, nodding at her bags. "I just got off the bus and am making my way to my dorm."

A worried looking Connor was wandering around, looking in bushes, and under benches.

"Paige! Hi, long time no see."

[angelandwitch]

Paige turned and looked at the boy, blinking a few times.

"I'm sorry, have we met?"

[prodigalpawn]

"You, saved my life." Connor said uncertainly.
