[principalmouse]

When: OPENING DAY!
Where: Just inside the Academic Building
Warnings: None yet. Yet.
[In a wide open hall with banners and a various sundry of celebratory items, the headmaster's rousing speech begins to come to a close.]

In short, you all are here to save our world! There is a threat out there that we must face, but we cannot face it alone. [His demeanor is pleasant, but thinly veiled. His stress is evident in his words, but he is attempting to stay cheerful.] We must do our best to watch over our friends and family and neighbors, no matter who they may be.

We are all responsible for one another. [He lets the silence hang for a moment before letting off and overly cheerful--] HaHa! [Was that a bit forced? Or was it just me?]

Well, guys, it’s time for me t’go, got lotsa stuff to take care of bein’ headmaster and all. But please, get to know one another, go check out classes, and find out where you live on campus! [He gestures to various sections of the room, all labeled with bright colored papers and text.]

I’ll see y’around!

[And with that, the headmaster is off! No, seriously. Watch him go, he’s movin’ fast for such a short guy.]

So don't stand near me, sweetcheeks.

[barelyknow]

[Sweetcheeks?]

Or, here's an idea: you could go outside where there are a) less people and b) more air.

[allucinator]

Or I could-- and will!-- stay here, not botherin' nobody, and you can go and fuss at someone else over their personal habits. Nice meetin' you.

[barelyknow]

Except you're already bothering me, and probably others who just aren't saying so.

[allucinator]

You're the one who came to me! You can't just tell them to stop somethin' that's botherin' you if you're the one who came up to them!

[barelyknow]

I was over there...

[She points to where she had been standing.] And could smell the smoke.

[allucinator]

Guess you should, you know, move farther away.

[barelyknow]

I'm pretty sure I've already my point on who I think should be the one moving anywhere.

[allucinator]

Yeah, you have. And I'm still not movin', so, you know. Let's move on. What's your name?

[barelyknow]

[Gosh is she still frowning.]

M.K.

And yours is?

[allucinator]

Jack Kelly. You a student too?

[barelyknow]

[Good. Now she has a name she can complain about.

She nods.]

A high school senior.

[allucinator]

Oh, good. I can bother you in class, too.

[barelyknow]

[She facepalms.]

You have got to be joking.

[allucinator]

'Fraid not. But look on the bright side: at least you won't be bored.

[barelyknow]

I didn't think I was going to be bored in the first place.

[allucinator]

You were. Believe me, it's school. You were.

[barelyknow]

It's school, with the imminent threat of the mist. Boring doesn't really fit in there.
