The expedition in the sewers was going swimmingly, aside from the smell. Permeating all other scents, it was a perfect mask to any sort of monster the group would be encountering in these dark parts. Indeed, aside from the usual muckage of the area, there was very thin layer of something salty. It came from just the bare surface of the water running in the sewer ways. It certainly didn’t look that deep and there was nothing of suspicion about it.

Indeed, the entire area seemed quiet save for the constant flow of sewage and waste. What then, could have been possibly keeping construction from occurring down here? Whatever it may be, these thoughts and more would be interrupted by loud splashing coming from directly in front of Tholl’s group. The combined ocular prowess of the spider’s eyes, both her and Sonia’s would reveal the truth easily enough.

But the splashing, which came from the running river of sewage, was too violent and frantic to make out a shape of form. Even so, it was distinctly human by the words it was shrieking. “Help, somebody help! It’s dragging me down-” Another manic dunk under the dirty waves silenced the pleas, the voice ringing as female in vocal cords. It wouldn’t be long before the victim would become nothing more than choked bubbles beneath the waves.

The only response Jackie gave the boy was a slow blink of her eyes. Indeed, she stared at him quietly, not a word spoken and as if she was peering into his soul. It didn’t last forever of course, but no doubt it felt like it, Jackie finally stirring at his question. Caius; so that was his name. To his first question, she simply nodded to affirm her position her. It was the second question that was going to be difficult to answer…

“…..” Thankfully she was spared such an interaction when a death knell rang in the air. No doubt it would startle the thoughts and actions of those previously in conversation. Jackie turned her masked face to see a girl forcing her way through the crowds of students towards some preordained target. Given her reaction to the boy she wanted, throwing him to the table and pinning him down, it could almost be mistaken for…something else.

Jackie looked about, wondering if any student was going to stop the two of them from fighting. Or at the very least, a teacher would get involved? That was kind of their job….not that Jackie minded all too much. Seeing them go at it was entertaining enough, so much so that she opened her suitcase to fish for a paper and pen, placing them on the table.

For now she would ignore Caius, though he was free to glance over and see what she was doing. The word, “Angry Arms” and “Rough House” were written on opposite ends of the sheet before they were soon connected by a straight line. To what purpose and value any of this had, who could say. It probably only had meaning to Jackie herself. Whatever that was.

As expected of the first day, more and more people were beginning to show up. The younger ones could be deduced as students while the older ones were obviously teachers. Some went out of their ways to meet and greet people; no doubt having known them from similar magical families. Others did what Jackie did, choosing to observe from their perched spots of solitude.

Truth be told, Jackie saw no one of eye-catching interest for her. Her gaze scanned deeply over the gas-mask flickering from one individual or group to the next. As she did so, her eyes always lingered for roughly five seconds or more before departing to a new target. Eventually she settled her eyes on a boy with glasses, catching him staring at her.

When the boy turned away back to his food and paperwork, Jackie’s gaze continued to follow. He seemed approachable enough; and if she were to be honest, she was bored at the moment. Well, seeing as this was a new school, she might as well try to make some friends along the way. Gripping her suitcase by her side, Jackie left her spot beneath the tapestry before walking up to Caius. “……” Silent as ever, she moved to take a seat beside him.
