Sure enough, Beau's first day back at the university was proceeding as normal for now. His metalworking degree was meant to be more of a practical class but, as per usual of a university, there was still a good chunk of lecture in there. And since Beau was more of a kinesthetic learner than anything, almost [i]none[/i] of that lecture part was sticking. Still, he learned something out of it, so it wasn't a complete waste of time. Still, by the end of the day, he was glad that it was over and he could return home.

Beau had planned to make a quick grocery run before returning to his dormitory, and went out the back entrance since it'd be closer to get to where he needed to go. But right at the second he left that way, a thick, mysterious fog had completely surrounded the fog around him.

He was about to say the word "sunny", but as he observed the top of his screen in detail, he could only bite his lip and blow out of it to make a big long resounding F.

With a sigh of defeat, Beau pocketed his phone again and continued on his way for now. He remained vigilant of his surroundings; that much made sense to him. But there was no use being paranoid about what one couldn't control...
