It looked like Craig would still have to end up waiting for her most days of the week, but at least their schedules didn't seem to clash any which was a relief. "Okay cool! I have cheer practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday until around six and then on Mondays I have French club. For weekends I'm free in the afternoon since I have dance practice in the mornings." She played out her whole schedule knowing it was a lot but she loved all the extracurriculars she was in so it didn't feel like a heavy burden.

"What competition?" She raised an eyebrow at him curious not knowing what type of club Craig might be interested in. With him it could be anything except for sports. She would know if he was on any of the sports teams and he wasn't.

"Sounds good to me." She smiled up at Craig and then looked over at the time. "I should probably start heading over before coach gets mad at me." She sighed and casually started to take out her nose rings and flip up her septum putting the rings in her pocket. No piercings allowed during practice. "Do you want to walk over to the gym with me?"

[stxic]

Listing her compact schedule made Craig's eyes widen just a bit. To him, all that communal time would be intolerable. He supposed that was the nature of an extrovert, not getting exhausted through endless socializing. Conversely, he was the type to need time to decompress before jumping into the next thing.

"Oh, right," he blinked as her question pulled him away from his thoughts, "It's robotics club-- we'll build robots and then have them compete against other schools."

In lieu of an answer, Craig had already begun to walk beside her toward the gym. He shrugged, "It's mostly for college."

Jordan checked the reply and laughed. Okay so he wasn't the best at Mario party. He tried. He was just more of a real gamer he liked to think.

Text: Oh shut up or I won't order pizza

Text: Just kidding I'm starving and it's already on the way

He set up Mario party in his apartment living room. He had the next two nights off from Raisins and the girls had been encouraging him to hang out with someone other than them so here he was.

Text: If you wanna crash here, you can. Guest room is clean

[stxic]

Craig smirked at his phone, already grabbing his jacket. In his bag, he tossed in a change of comfortable clothes and a few other odds and ends. It was a good thing that Jordan reached out. Without a reason to go anywhere, Craig would have likely stayed at home for the entire break.

Text: wow, threatening pizza. that's low.

He stared at the 'guest room' message a second longer than he should have, then sent another text.

Text: I might depends how long we're up

Not long after the exchange, he was sitting in his car and on his way.

That was another thing that eluded him. Why did he find so much humor in the way Craig carried himself in? It was confusing. The corners of his lips etched up as he rolled his eyes.

"When you waited an hour to tell me? Yeah. I can tell you planned that."

[parkacored]

Is that a smile?? Craigory? Ken is going to take it, even if it isn't much of one. He's really pleased with this bout of pestering Craig, really successful.

"Hm? Oh yeah, definitely. It was my nefarious plan to leave you unawares so that EVERYONE here will think you're some kinda perverted freak tryin' to get everyone to peek at your panties." He shakes his head. "You good? You gonna recover?"

[stxic]

“That’s actually exactly what you’d do,” Craig retorted. It was a little frustrating that Kenny was so committed to his innocence in the scenario, but he wasn’t concerned about it anymore. Craig’s face made the shift to a subtle head tilt and slightly narrowed eyes. “I think I’ll make it,” he answered.

He straightened, “So, was there anything else you wanted?”

[parkacored]

That had Kenny burst out laughing. A real deep guffaw. Craig rarely fucks with the things Kenny says and it is funny every time. Any time he gets mister stoic to warm up to him it makes Ken feel accomplished. "Yeesh," He puts his hands behind his head, "This is what I get for tryin' to help a guy out."

"When you waited an hour to tell me? Yeah. I can tell you planned that."

[parkacored]

"I didn't know how to tell you!" Kenny shrugs at him, smile in his eyes. "And then I, y'know, got distracted until now." He can see he's getting on Craig's nerves quickly. Though that never seemed hard to do. "Should I not've said anything? We can pretend I didn't, quick, unzip it again."

[stxic]

It was true, the blond's entire friend group had a natural propensity for trouble. Their complete lack of regard bothered him. What made Kenny unique, though, was his ability cause Craig to fluster. His words were often sly in a way that Craig couldn't quite keep up with. Still, though, he didn't have any actual distaste for Kenny himself. He didn't find him aggravating in quite the same way that he found Stan or Eric.

"Dude, Shut up."

He gently pushed Kenny's arm in rebuttal. Not out of any annoyance, but lighthearted and almost playful.

"I am not unzipping my pants."

" hey you wanna game with me tonight?" (From Jordan Lowell my new south park raisins boy lmao @fxntasmagoria )

This was one of those lucky weeks when Craig got to be back in South Park. A gentle reprieve from all the chaos and all that was expected of him at his university, to enjoy the quiet monotony of the small town. In his bedroom, he sat peacefully on a beanbag chair, reading, when the soft buzz of his phone stirred him out of his concentration. The screen on his phone lit up, and it read:

Jordan: hey you wanna game with me tonight?

It was funny, Jordan seemed to always have a sense of when he was back in town. Craig's thumbs typed across the keyboard quickly before sending a reply.

Craig: yeah, if you're prepared to lose at mario party again

"We finish at around six, so you'll have like two hours before you have to meet me." Three to four times every week after school, she had cheer practice along with her other extracurriculars. Nichole didn't know if Craig also had any after-school clubs or anything, but it would be better to work out their schedules now to see what times would work out best for them continuing the semester. "Do you have any clubs or anything you do after school so we can see when our schedules match up best?"

Nichole was happy Craig was down for doing the personality subject. That was the one she was most interested in but would have settled if he wanted to do one of the other options. "Yeah we have to pick out at least three test subjects and interview them over the course to see why they do the certain thing they do and then classify it. So maybe a test but also maybe not."

[stxic]

Craig was aware of Nichole's involvement in cheer. Considering the pep rallies where the students were crammed into the gymnasium to watch the sports teams introduce themself and perform stunts. It would be impossible not to know who played football or cheered at least. Though he didn't know what else she did outside of school.

Since junior high, Craig hadn't been involved in any extracurricular activities since he quit playing soccer. However, this year, a conversation with the school's career counselor convinced him to diversify his application. Robotics club had been his choice, and for now, he had evaded the coach attempting to recruit him back on the team. "Just Tuesdays and Thursdays until 5, but it might be a little closer to competing."

He hummed in agreement; he wasn't the type to be very opinionated on what they landed on, as long as it wasn't ridiculous or earned them a bad grade, it wouldn't bother him. "I'll try to think of some options before you get out of practice, okay?"

I thought I told you to stay back

Surprisingly, the work of a thief was not limited to the pilfering of simple goods. Sometimes, he was contracted to escort individuals with less combat expertise at the request of someone of high importance. It required much of the same skills as larceny: stealth, dexterity, and apt swordsmanship. This time, it was a merchant that the Grand Wizard King contracted Feldspar to guide to Kuppa Keep. Fortunately, this assignment came with a handsome reward.

Then, on the other hand, Clyde had been nothing but a hindrance to the rogue's quest. Between not knowing how to move with stealth and a proclivity for impulsivity, the payment hardly seemed worth it anymore.

Without any warning, Feldpar pulled Clyde behind a line of brush. "Be quiet," he whispered, "Just because you know how to craft a sword does not mean you can weild one."
