All was dark, the acrid smell of burning metal, flesh and hair conjoined to create a burning, thick musk that perforated every bit of Jason;'s conciousness, the only other thing he could feel was the soft hairy fur of his companion, against his front as his back was pressed against the cold, hard, metal of the dish, the wind howling outside, racing past the two survivors, Jason could hardly understand what was going on, why was it all dark when clearly he could hear the distinct crackle of burning leaves.....

Jason suddenly snapped back to reality, the flashback gone, he sighed, remembering, as he lay on his bed, tossing a ball up and down, using the change in air pressure, the small wind currents, the sound of the ball hitting the ceiling as well the sound as the feel of his arm hair against the sheets to ascertain the exact position of the ball. He was waiting, and DEAR LORD ALMIGHTY did he hate waiting, the feeling of doing nothing, especially when something was going to happen, was pure torture for him, especially because he had already spent years here, the past few months of it doing nothing, just wandering the grounds, figuring things out, and making friends with the few who had stayed behind. So he entertained himself with thoughts of what this upcoming year would be like, what with the new students replacing the ones from last year, new friends, old friends "blahbity, blahbity blah, right Lucky?" Jason said as he teleported away, leaving the ball to drop onto his bed. Picking up and apple from his mini-fridge, and walking out the door, Lucky right at his ankles the whole time.

Hearing the sound of the bus arriving Jason and Lucky gave each other a quick nudge and began to race toward the parking lot, knowing that most, if not all, the teachers would be present for the arrival of the new students, which meant that Jason could steal down to the kitchen, grab a snack unseen, and quickly teleport to under a tree nearby or something to 'see' the new students as they arrived off the bus. 

Which is precisely what Jason and Lucky did, arriving just in time to see the bus pull up the long driveway to the academy, and the teachers in a long line waiting to greet them, Jason and Lucky split the bacon and waited underneath a tree that was just downwind of the arrival zone, to 'see' what would unfold.
