[Here's the thing. Remus does not mean to look. He certainly does not mean to look several times. It's just that his dorm room desk, which is built into the floor, and whose bright idea was that anyway, was right in front of a window. And that was all well and good and the view down onto the courtyard was lovely, but it meant that when he was very innocently trying to get his classwork done during early morning or late evening hours, and his gaze absently wandered out the window on a thought, it would naturally fall straight to a window in the dorm hall across from his own. And the occupant of the room containing this particular window seemed to be rather averse to shuttering her blinds.
And Remus is always very quick to look away, to pretend he didn't see another student in only her underthings-- or less-- but honestly, how difficult is it to close your blinds? Or at least move out of direct eyeshot of your uncovered windows while in a state of undress? It's maddening. What is he meant to do, never look out his own window?
Fortunately, he's never run into her in person, and she's never caught him accidentally looking. Or, he thinks she hasn't, anyway. Now that would be a nightmare. He can only imagine the conclusions that would be drawn.
Only now, this one bit of fortune the universe had granted Remus has been revoked. There is, apparently, a tornado happening, which he had only learned about when his phone had started vibrating violently with a loud warning tone, despite having been put on silent. Then there'd been a message over the PA system directing everyone to head to the nearest tornado shelter until further notice.
And by some stroke of-- fate, luck, unluckiness? something like that-- who should be the only other person in this building's shelter area than Window Girl.
Remus gave her a nod in greeting, the awkward smile of 'maybe we recognize each other from attending the same college but we've never actually spoken and now we're gonna be stuck here together for a while'. It's a very specific smile. He sets his bag on the floor, leaning against the concrete wall.] This should teach me to check the weather report.
[Especially delighted by jamjar/dragged-into-your-character's-universe setups, so Beth can have all her canon development along with the mundanity of college life. Interested in both canon and cross-canon CR!]
[Rolled off and got 4-3, 3-2, and 1-1. Anything catch your fancy from those? Or, y'know, anything else because I will do all the things with these two.
[The chick that has to warn everyone she knows to drag her out of bed every morning to avoid being late to classes. Also the one who always gets stuck doing degrading part-time jobs like waving signs in front of coffee shops and stuff like that. F/f for shipping, but open otherwise.]
Air drums just came naturally to Jace. His energy was near infinite and when he was forced to sit anywhere for longer than a trip to the bathroom, he began to get antsy. The library hadn't worked. Jace had been asked to leave before they'd collected the books needed. He was pretty sure there was now a picture of him behind the counter.
Instead, they were at Magnus' place and there were just so many more things to get in to (and that could potentially kill him!) that being forced to sit in one place was near impossible. Magnus should be happy that Jace had lasted as long as he had. "So we're done?" He asked, for about the third time. Magnus was going to have to carry the weight of this project, but Jace could cheer him on.
"I think you picked a great topic, a real interesting area of concentration." Now, if only he could remember what it was.
[Finals may be over, but summer classes start in a week, which means Temperance has several stacks of books neatly set up on her desk, and is carrying one more tome into the house -- this one she plans to read in the living room, where she left a cup of steaming to steep to perfection on the coffee table. All in all, a perfect evening awaits, no matter what anyone else says about what she should be doing to celebrate. Forensic anthropology isn't going to study itself, nor will her degrees earn themselves.
She's not surprised per se to find Stella in the living room -- they are quite similar, in fact, and so make excellent housemates -- but she does feel the need to ask.]
[ joker knows damn well that he knows about the fuckin hermit crabs. why someone would even feel motivated to keep something like those or what that person would do with them is beyond him, but what mac does know is that the student handbook clearly says that pets aren't allowed, and furthermore, that his position as RA necessitates that he take care of it.
unfortunately, though, that same handbook falls short of giving him the power to actually do that, seeing as he's not allowed to enter the guy's room without prior approval that takes something like three weeks to get. this friday marked the end of week one, and that was three days ago.
so, for now, all he can do is remind joker who's in charge and that this farce will be coming to an end.
he's sitting on the common room couch, ankles crossed on the coffee table as he grades some freshman's paper from the proofs and fundamentals class he TAs when the key reader on the front door clicks with recognition and that clown strolls in a second later. he meets joker's eyes directly, almost unblinkingly. ]
Brought a copy of the student handbook you should review.
