Who: Maxim Varnavich Fyodor Maksimov & Anyone 

When: September 4th, around 12:30 pm 

Where: The Dining Hall

It was the first day of classes and the boy had already thought about skipping. Though he knew it was much to early in the semester to do so, and it wasn’t as if he actually wanted to fail his courses. Just because he didn’t particularly like them, didn’t mean he was just going to fail. He wanted to piss off his parents, but he also wasn’t interested in retaking anything. The only way to get through it was to stop and get some lunch in between. Not surprisingly, the dining hall was fairly crowded. There was a significantly larger number of students this year, which meant he would have to take a seat where he could find one. “Do you mind if I sit here? Thanks.” He said, not bothering to wait for a response as he plopped down next to someone.

Who: Vivienne Renaldi-Devereaux and anyone When: September 1, 2028; late afternoon Where: A corner of the student hub

Vivienne had learned the value of a quiet place to one’s self at a young age. With a castle that was always bustling with activity, having time to herself with a book or her journals became essential to her day to day life - even if only afforded a few minutes, the time spent in solace gave her mind a moment to unwind and process. And so, in starting at University, it was of the utmost importance to find her spot soon. The weather in Genovia had been more than agreeable, and after her last class had let out, the young princess had immediately gone to one of the outdoor areas, finding a low wall that she had claimed as her own, back pressed against the corner as her feet dangled down. Her copy of As You Like It was well worn, it was her favorite after all. When the lighting changed and shadow cast over her text though, she looked up, seeing the other who had joined her. “Oh! I’m sorry - I hope you weren’t waiting too long. Did you need me?”

Who: Vitoria Abato-Nascimento & Anyone. When: Friday, September 1st, 2028. 5:30pm.  Where: Student Government Chamber. 

Though the senate would not be in session for some time yet, Vitoria was content to walk the floor of the empty chamber and relish being back for another year. She ran her hand along the freshly polished wood as she moved through the rows of seats, stopping to straighten those that weren’t quite in place. It was best to make a good impression on the Freshmen and other students who would no doubt make their way through on orientation day, or perhaps even sooner. She turned at the sound of the old door creaking open behind her. “Can I help you?” She asked, her voice ringing through the empty room.

Who: Charlie Desmarais & Anyone.  When: Friday, September 1st, 2028. 5:00pm.  Where: Outside of the Dining Hall. 

Charlie took a moment to stop and admire the design of the immaculate building before him. The soaring arches and stained glass windows were stunning to behold, but did nothing to tell him if he’d actually managed to find the dining hall. Campus was orderly enough and he had followed the directions a passerby had been kind enough to give him to a tee, but the lack of signage outside made him second guess himself. “I’m sorry, this might be a dumb question but this is the dining hall, right?” He asked sheepishly, lifting a hand to catch the attention of yet another passerby.
