Alright gang, I'll write up the first post tonight. I'll assume they all go to the same university, and the story will nearing the end of one of the classes, around the middle of the first semester. 

I've also set a very loose setting:

The story takes place in a forested town called Neworth. The town is best known for the large forest which surrounds it and Neworth University, also recently known as Allen James University, after a very generous donor. The ancient campus (standing for over two hundred years now, having begun as a town hall) is situated centrally, with the town having been almost entirely built around it. The school is known for its lush campus and excellent science, law and art programs. 

The town of Neworth itself originated as a logging community, surrounded by rich forest of ancient hardwoods. From its humble beginnings as a Christian community of foresters, great suspicions around certain, 'eccentric' families arose. About half a century after the town was founded, a crippling drought hit the region. Desperate, for the second half of the century the superstitious townspeople leapt for someone to blame. This drought ended in several burnings of accused witches, and even after the drought ended, exile and execution of other individuals, sometimes entire families whom locals found suspicious still continued. 

In times since then, people have grown far less fanatic and superstitious, though old doubts and rumours still thrive. The year is 1904, and magical beings have improved their tactics to blend in and hide.

It's quick, but I think it works. For anyone who'd like to add to town lore, I welcome it.
