Day 1: Introduction

Cobalt's smile could not be contained after Jordan's comment.

"Of course! And Miranda, you are more than welcome to come with us. There are just so many people, it is a bit hard to keep track in the bustle."

"Jacob, I think a stuffy place like a library isn't going to be good for Judas's headache."

He grinned a bit at Claire. "I agree with her, we should head down to the garden. You guys know anything about flowers? I tried dabbling a bit in gardening but I think I'm really only good at making arrangements."

Martin grimaced as Jaden patted his back, feeling a little patronized.

"The Salon?"
He hesitated. They were suddenly going to group up after the dick incident!? Martin did not want to follow along, especially not at Avery's suggestion, but...what better did he have to do? Everyone else seemed to have grouped off.
Martin regrouped and tried to re-establish dominance.
"Yes," He said, following Ariel's last comment, unsure how to even process her comeback, "If we explore, we might actually find some answers. After all, why is there a Salon here to begin with?"

He frowned at the dick, just visible out of the corner of his eye.

Judas blinked dully at Miranda's comeback, raising an eyebrow and stroking an imaginary beard as his face took on an almost-inquisitive look.

"You have fun being a loner, then, dear. I'm sure that'll really help get you in the spotlight you seem to need to survive!"

He turned to Patrick with a shrug. "Actually, I think that headache is just about gone, now. Thanks for watchin' out for me, though. Either sounds nice."

Aver cackled. "Sure thing, sure thing. Let's blow this popsicle stand."

Tossing the chalk in his hand, he beckoned Ariel to follow him as he strolled out, his shoes clicking on the floor. Any feet in his path were at risk of being crushed.He sniffed at the wallpaper choice, though, "What is this, the 80s?"

Dark gave an exasperated sigh at Antoine's well-meaning correction. "I not will remember, but thank you." He followed Antoine to the Banquet Hall, outpacing his shorter companion pretty quickly.

He reached the door to the Banquet Hall first, and held it open for Antoine. "What people say..." He pressed his fist against his temple. "Ah! I gotchu."

Rachel caught up to Lux and takes a deep breath, or two, or three as she catches her breath. Running was never her style.

"Hoo ... ha ... thanks! I liked yours, too! Had some real passion in it, you know? You don't see that enough these days ... glad one of my classmates has that virtue nailed down already!"

She skipped to keep up with Lux's pace.

Martin saw his chance. As soon as Avery turned his back, Martin initiated his plan. He stayed back, erased the most recognizable parts of the penis drawing and then ran along into the hallway after the group, trying to retain any semblance of cool he may have had.

"I was thinking the same thing, honestly," Ariel stated, trying to size up Martin's motivations for joining this group. "If we have Super High School Levels like UX Designer and Airbrush Artist, wouldn't having a computer lab or at least an art room make sense in a class retreat inside of a school?"

"Anyway, you're free to tag along as long as you promise to stop being... well... so anal about everything."

Ariel tried to sneak a dick onto the chalkboard when Martin wasn't looking, but she figured it wasn't worthwhile.

Miranda grit her teeth, clenching a fist and giving a look of solemn contemplation back to Judas. "Nah, ain't worth it," She muttered, a bit of sheer lost in her voice.

It took her a few steps to put a spring in her step as she stalked off into the hall, almost having an aura of don't-touch-me.

"Then it's settled then." Claire readjusted her feather boa and turned towards the door. "Try to keep up boys, the garden awaits! Especially you Judas, those little legs are gonna have to put in some extra work."

"Shoot, they left without us!" Ariel gasped. She tried her best to run to catch up, but considering how exhausted she was, it was more of a fast trudge. "Wait for us!"

The garden! Jason was really careful opening the door, just in case something happened. Thankfully, all that did was a blast of warm, humid air. Jason gasped, nonetheless, turning that into a happy laugh as he saw the flowerbeds.

Well, he could spend a lot of time here, starting with looking at all the flowers along the wall. Were they labelled...

"'s fine. English sucks."

He stepped into the room, getting a shiver. "This place has some bad vibes. Might just be me, though." After looking around for a second he stepped farther in to make space for Dark.

Isaac was having an inner battle. See what the hell the Butler's Quarters were about...or check out the Billiard's room?
His mind made up, Isaac got up and went into the hallway, on his way to the Billiard's Room.

"Shall we prepare to head out, too? I am fine to lead, but where shall we head?"

Avery was waiting at the door, tossing the chalk from hand to hand. "I'm not moving. Like hell I'd move without people. The hell do I look like? Some cuck?"

Seeing Martin following, though, was definitely not on Avery's list of Top Ten Things he wanted to see.

"Ya gotta have passion when it comes to music! Especially rock music!" Lux replied excitedly. "Holy SHIT, this is just like my studio back home!" They ran over to the storage and began fumbling around for a Stratocaster electric guitar. When they found one, they nearly tripped out of the storage out of sheer excitement and held it up victoriously.

"Got any requests?" Lux asked with a huge grin.

He smirked at Claire's comment. Raising a foot up to show off his SICK HEELYS as he rolled slowly toward the door and out of it, trailing a bit ahead of them. "Don't worry about me, miss. My board might be missin', but I always got a backup right here." He threw up a peace sign. "You make sure you can keep up, now."

"Don't worry, Avery, he promised he's not going to be as much of a dickweed. Right? Right?"

Ariel opened the door, ready to see what was inside of the salon.

Mirana's original goal was the Breakfast room, anyways. She passed Avery, Ariel, and Martin, giving them a wide berth, and silently made her way to her destination.
