[She's felt this guy's eyes on her for the longest time and it's.

Really, really bothering her.]


And just what, pray tell, are you staring at?

[personal profile] buzzkilldetective 2013-05-04 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
I see...

[Don't mind her falling silent, Tenma, she's just thinking.]

Well, it was worth a try.

... Though, how is your room looking anyway?

...? Did I say something wrong...?

Heh, thanks, kid. I haven't missed anything too interesting since I left, have I?

Nnn... Someone made that... Friends of Humanity website all funny looking.

[personal profile] buzzkilldetective 2013-05-04 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ah? No, no, not at all. Just... thinking.

[personal profile] notveryknightly 2013-05-04 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, I think I heard about that one on the news. Props to those who did it.

[He got a good laugh out of it at least.]

About... [what was the last thing he said...]

Soccer...? Or maybe clubs!

Hehe, no one knows who!

[So long as someone else takes the blame!]

Yeah...Waitaminute, do you know everyone on this campus or something? There's no way.

Well, that makes two of us, then! What grade are you in? I'm in 11th, myself.

Janice Damasio | Candle Cove

[A short, blonde girl with a mop of hair is padding through the halls of the Institute, brown eyes curious. She doesn't look or seem nervous, but she's taking in everything with wide eyes, having come from less luxurious beginnings. Everything is new and utterly fascinating.

She's lost, but mostly because she keeps getting lost repeatedly, tempted to look into rooms and go down hallways, round eyes sweeping the building and snub nose scrunched up as if taking mental notes. She only stops to retie what appears to be an extremely long shoelace wrapped six times around her wrist, holding it up to the light to squint at it and make sure it's done right.

Unless someone gives her directions, she's not likely to get to class even reasonably late at this rate.]

[Janice watches curiously, and after a moment of internal debate, she decides to go over to him and just ask.]

Can I play too?

Will you be teaching the middle school level classes? Archaeology sounds really cool, but back home at least all the classes with it in 'em were for high schoolers.

[Janice has a bit of a Southern accent, but she's trying not to let it be blatant while she's around so many new people. Still, in her seriousness - because new classes to investigate are serious business - she slips back into it.]

I wouldn't call that dumb luck at all, Monsieur Lowell. [And... sounding a little less harsh, now.] I think I understand the situation much better thanks to that, so... I suppose I should thank you.
notveryknightly: (09)

[personal profile] notveryknightly 2013-05-04 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Okay, he really didn't see that coming.] Oh, uh... no problem, I guess.

... Y'know, I think you'd like Flynn. Just call it a hunch, but... I think you two would get along pretty well.
notveryknightly: (03)

[personal profile] notveryknightly 2013-05-04 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe not everyone, but pretty darn close to it. I know enough people to know a new face when I see one.

Well, usually you would need a pretty strong history background to start studying archaeology....[But Jackie's not used to having a young person actually interested in the subject.]

But I wouldn't mind altering the subject to be a bit more accessible for middle school levels.

[Kanji's not sure what's more surprising-- that this kid's speaking in a language he understands, or that he got a response at all.]

I ain't staring!! You just--- looked familiar, or whatever! A guy's allowed t'look!
penaltykicktothehead: (it's a dangerous compromise)

[personal profile] penaltykicktothehead 2013-05-04 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh-- Don't look so surprised! [A huff.]

It does sound as though we've a couple things in common, but there's no real way of knowing unless by some off chance we meet.
notveryknightly: (03)

[personal profile] notveryknightly 2013-05-04 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not, but still, kudos to them. Then again, the Friends of Humanity were asking for it to happen...

[Though, he certainly wouldn't have stopped at defacing the website...]

[Skaar was walking through the halls, not really heading anyplace in particular and actually considering going outside for some fresh air when he saw the short blonde looking around with wide eyes. Her face wasn't familiar, but she could simply be a student he hadn't met yet.

Making his way over, his expression was passive, but still friendly.]


Are you...lost?

[personal profile] notveryknightly 2013-05-04 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Might not be as unlikely as you think. I've been dropping hints to the good Professor that Flynn would be a good guy to have on board.

[He stretches, before giving a casual observation.] He's certainly got a cooler temper than you do, though.
penaltykicktothehead: (gripping at a quick fix)

[personal profile] penaltykicktothehead 2013-05-04 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, drop a few more! Poor man's out a job, isn't he?

[She's-- she's not going to acknowledge that last bit. Or she'll try really hard not to acknowledge that last bbbbiiiiiOH NOPE eyerolling...]
