INTRO LOG

[mediumatlarge]

[[Exactly what it says on the tin! This is just an initial log to sort of get things started and is largely freeform, open to (but not limited to):

-Meetings before classes start
-First day business
-Dorm shenanigans meetings
-First classes in progress
-or whatever the heck else you want to do for beginning-of-term things!

There's a CR meme up now for some initial planning if you like, or feel free to just hop in here.]]

Sort of, but then tougher people started coming after me, and not always in school, and...

[Yeah. Escalation is a bitch.]

[mediumatlarge]

(--oh)

[His face falls a bit as he bites at his lip, brow furrowing.]

...okay, yeah, that- that'd definitely get in the way. More reasons we need places like this, I guess.

[poweryetunknown]

Pretty much. My parents just saw it as another thing I was doing wrong. It's not my fault they were assholes.

[Whether 'they' is his parents or the other kids... up to listener interpretation.]

[mediumatlarge]

[He's sort of taking it as 'both', for the time being.]

They don't really get it unless they're one of us, too. I mean. Guess I can't entirely blame 'em, it's a little hard to relate to, but...

[He shrugs.]

Doesn't make it easier to deal with.

[poweryetunknown]

[Probably a fair assumption.]

Yeah.

... You want me to leave you alone so you can read?

[mediumatlarge]

I wasn't really reading, anyway. Little too tired for it to stick, I was just trying to put myself to sleep.

[...which also sounds like he wants to be left alone. Okay, rephrase.]

--I don't mind the company though, you don't- I'm not trying to kick you out or something.

[poweryetunknown]

I figured I might fall asleep out here. It's too noisy up there even for me.

[And his MP3 player will only last so long.]

[mediumatlarge]

Plenty of room for that. --maybe not on the couch, though, I'd probably take up the whole damn thing.

[He laughs, though it's mostly silent- just a shake of his shoulders and a breathy little sound.]

I'm just crossing my fingers that they don't feel like handing out detention for falling asleep down here.

[poweryetunknown]

Hopefully not. I don't see why they would, but I've never gone to a boarding school before.

[mediumatlarge]

Depends on who you run into. Some of the teachers are stricter than others, you know? It's the start of the year, maybe they want to set some boundaries, I don't know.

[poweryetunknown]

Well, if you don't know, then I don't really have a hope of knowing, do I?

[There's a little amusement behind it, though. He feels slightly more at ease with this guy, probably because of the telepathy thing. He's just glad there's someone else with something similar, at least with that part.]
