Characters: Casey and Open
Setting: The commons
Rating: SFW
Summary: Casey is on his way back to his dorm and has a mess to clean up

What was one person's trash was another's treasure. It was for that reason that Casey paid regular trips to a local junkyard to see what he could salvage out of the crap other people threw away. From broken radios to busted televisions, Casey usually ended up walking away with a box full of new parts and a smile on his face.

This time he was rather unhappy with his choice of a box. The underside had not been well taped and it felt like it was about to give way any second, even as he tried to hold it closed with as much of his hand as he could. He managed to make it back on campus and was nearly to the Beauregard dormitory when the box had finally had enough. With a series of loud crashed, the bottom of the box dumped its contents onto the walkway.

Casey just looked down at the mess and swore.

Characters: Rowan and OPEN!
Setting: Friday afternoon, After classes
Content: Probably SFW, save for some cursing
Summary: Rowan goes out to try some new spells and accidentally might almost set someone on fire. Whoops?

Picking a place on the commons that was fairly out of the way, Rowan decided to go out and try some new spells, and some old ones that had given her trouble, before the dance was underway. There was so much going on with her that she figured that a little more practice wouldn't hurt, and she had her dress and such already picked out. So after hurrying to change out of her uniform, she grabbed her wand and her ever-present bag and set off to blow off some steam. Or possibly create some.

A short while later, she had managed to change her shoes back from their new purple color and though she wasn't sure why the levitation charm had done that, she wasn't going to let it get her down. Opening her textbook and her journal to a new page, she studied the incantation before her and frowned. This was one that for some reason always gave her trouble, but with a little tutoring recently and some new-found courage to try it, she bit her lip and crumpled up a piece of paper. Setting it on the ground, she backed off a few steps and turned to face it. Taking a deep breath, she pointed her wand at the unoffensive bit of white paper and tried to confidently cast her spell.

"INCENDIO!"

Characters: Rowan and Yev
Setting: Sonnier Dormitory, Thursday afternoon
Rating: SFW most likely
Summary: Yev isn't in the common room! GASP SHOCK! Rowan goes looking for him.

Humming to herself quietly, Rowan sat at the table in the common room and glanced at the clock on the wall. Well, that was odd. It had been almost a half an hour that she had been waiting there, and Yev was nowhere to be found. They had agreed to meet to work on this really awesome project of his, and he was a no show! Rowan sighed a little and looked at the books around her. Well, she could probably gather them all up again without too much of a problem, and then she did know where his dorm room was...

She decided that going up to check if he was there couldn't hurt. Maybe he had forgotten?

Collecting her things, and putting the books in her bag except for a few that were the most pertinent, she made her way to what she knew to be Yev's dorm room. Books all under one arm, she was able to knock on the door easily, calling out after she did, "Hey Yev? It's Rowan. I have the books for your project?"

Characters: Rowan and Quinn
Setting: Transitional Dormitory, Tuesday after classes
Rating: SFW most likely
Summary: Rowan left something at Quinn's house and is attempting to find out what happened to it.

Making her way to the Transitional Dorm, Rowan chewed on her lower lip absently. It had been a little strange staying away from home all summer long, first at Michi's and then at Quinn's house, and she still didn't really feel like she had a full break this year. Sure there were fun times, and relaxing times, and happy times, but not being in her own house for it, and with everything with her mother, she was in a very weird place, brain wise. She had been for a very long time now.

It was probably for that reason that she lost her journal. She remembered writing in it one night while staying at Quinn's, but when she got back to school and unpacked, it wasn't where it was supposed to be. Entering the dorm, she looked around the common room, feeling a little out of place and like she was invading someone else's territory. Scanning the crowd, she tried to see if Quinn was around down there. That would make this much easier.

Who: Vinnie & Avery
Setting: Commons, after classes on Wednesday
Content: SFW (I would assume?)
Summary: Vinnie heads out for some sun after class and ends up running into Avery of all people.

It was almost summer break. Almost done with finals and school for the year. But almost wasn't quite good enough. Vinnie was absolutely dying to get home, to go swimming and hang out with his friends, go shopping in the city, go to a party or two or ten, see some of his local family, and hopefully make the trip to Italy for a couple of weeks to see other family. Italy was always like a home away from home for him, and he looked forward to every moment that he got to spend over there.

So for now, these last few weeks were nothing but heat and time dragging on and studying. It was enough to make him just head outside and linger after classes on the lawn of the commons. There was nothing really pressing to get done, and he was more than happy to put off studying for a little while and people-watch. He decided to make his way over to one of the benches that was both in the shade and unoccupied. That way he wouldn't die of sunstroke. Which would totally kill his summer plans.

Who: Rowan & OPEN.
Setting: Commons, Wednesday after classes
Content: SFW (I would assume?)
Summary: Rowan is actually outside and in the commons for once, and trying to review for the upcoming finals when someone provides a welcome interruption.

The emotional roller coaster ride that the last month plus had been for her aside, Rowan was actually in a decent mood. Her mother's disappearance was always in her mind, but at this point it was not a driving thought. There had been too much else to think of, the good and the boring, the amazing and the less than amazing, and her mood had more or less evened out. Sure she was still worried, but now she was able to concentrate on other things for a while.

With that mindset present, she decided to try her hand at being social again. Sort of. Instead of hiding in her room or out in the woods/swamp that surrounded the campus, she was out in the middle of the commons, set up under a tree with her books and her discman. Reading up on some of the things that she would be tested on shortly, Rowan was also looking up every so often, watching the people that milled about the campus in the warmth and the sunlight.

Characters: Rowan and Leon
Setting: Sonnier dorm, Sunday around lunch time.
Content: NSFW for language most likely.
Summary: Rowan talks to Leon about some things.

Rowan had been out in the woods for most of the morning, trying to combine wizard and Muggle magic to make a tracking spell. It was hard work, and took a lot of research, and it had failed spectacularly. She was missing too many things, it was the wrong time of day, and she was starting to get too tired to think. Once she hit that point, Rowan decided that it was best for her to bring her things back to her room and maybe try to get some food and read something that didn't have to do with spells for the time being.

Glancing around before she opened the door to the Sonnier dorm, Rowan breathed a sigh of relief that no one had seen her coming from the woods. Re-adjusting her bag on her shoulder, she turned the knob to the dorm that she lived in and closed it behind her, lost in thought. Or un-thought. There wasn't really any one particular things that was on her mind, but more a jumble of things that she couldn't focus on. Everything felt like it was whirling out of control, and she felt like she needed time to sort it all out. Head looking at the ground, she started into the common room, thinking that she would make her way back up the stairs to her room.
