Be Prepared //

Ryan was getting ready for the semester to start up again. He had spent the last few days working on his syllabus and checking out the campus to make sure he knew where everything was. It didn’t look good if a Professor had no idea where things were, especially if a student asked him. Ryan always preferred to be prepared then not to be. 

He hadn’t expected any visitors. It seemed that everyone was getting themselves prepared as well, new students trying to figure out where to go and old ones settling in. So when Ryan heard a strange noise coming from the hallway, his attention was caught up in what it could possibly be. The deafening silence seemed to ring in his ears and he sat staring into the doorway, waiting for someone to appear. “Hello? Is someone there?”

“I trust I’m the only one that isn’t particularly motivated by this whole Fresher’s Week bullshit.” Ruby sat outside of Flynn’s Irish Pub, where she blew an huff of smoke into the open air from what looked like a cigarette but really wasn’t.

So. Glitter party. Anyone down? 

Might need to borrow some said glitter, though.

Fine Arts Center

She had been fetched on her way to the gym to teach a class; the events marching right into her carefully planned day. Upon entering Room 115, Anni dropped her bag to the floor with a loud thud and plunked down next to it, right on the floor, exclaiming “I swear, this is the worst day of my life!” 

She let her head sink into her hands, unable to look at anybody else in the room for a few moments. She could feel it coming like a tsunami wave and only her breathing to keep her swimming, to tell herself that it would be okay. But that took all of her concentration, all the mental energy she had at this moment.

Pre-Semester || OPEN

The minute Lena returned to Cabot her mind fell into her studies, she was sure this year would be her hardest yet, and she was determined that she would be perfect in her every endeavour. She felt the familiar bubbling of stress in her stomach every time she thought about the upcoming year. After she had unpacked her things, she took her books and some pens to the Catamount Cafe. 

Lena strongly preferred studying and spending her down time at the Catamount Cafe over The Hideout, even though she worked for the latter, mostly to avoid her managers, but also because it was directly on campus. 

After ordering her usual green tea lemonade she set her textbooks, her laptop, and her pen case down on a familiar table situated near the front window; she especially enjoyed the sunshine and the scenery of the campus in the late summer. 

As she was just about to pull up one of her syllabuses on her laptop, Lena noticed someone coming towards her in the small cafe. She looked up properly to greet them, “oh, hey! How was your summer?” 

She gestured to the seat in front of her, “you can sit if you want.”

Open ||

The coffee shop was full. Every table was occupied and the small room was filled with steam, chatter and the smell of baking muffins.  Natalia glanced around but there wasn’t anyone she recognised. She had a textbook and her laptop in her bag but she knew as soon as she saw the crowd that study was going to be out of the question. There was no way she’d be able to concentrate with all the chatter around her. She was far too inclined to eavesdrop and gossip for that to ever be an option. 

She ordered her drink and eyed the half-empty tables, trying to decide which person would offer the most interesting interaction. Settling on her prey, she wove across the room. 

“Mind if I sit here?” she said, already sliding into the other chair and dumping her heavy bag on the floor.

Lockdown

Specifically for -- @stellaemerson @lily-nordin @rubyredgilstein

Ryan was making his way from classrooms when he heard the alarm that meant the school was going into lockdown. His heart began to race but he didn’t have a moment to react before being escorted to the Collette Center. Once inside, he ran over to the windows to peer outside but all he could see was more students being escorted. After that, the college was a ghost town. His knuckles went white from how hard he was gripping onto the window sill and a flash of a thought entered his mind. He had seen movies and TV shows were buildings went into lockdown and the thing they always said was stay away from the windows.

At this thought, Ryan was in an immediate panic. He was grabbing--pulling--yanking at the window, doing everything in his power to get the blinds to come down. But he was too frantic; his hands too sweaty and his mind reeling with possibilities to come up with a real-world solution. In the heat of the moment, he breathed out “Somebody help me!” in hopes that whoever was in here with him would lend a hand.
