ooc: Oops, guess I wrote that wrong.. I meant making fun of the fact that there were 2 jasons. My group of friends IRL has 2 guys named Matt, and there's lotsa old jokes about it.. You know, that kinda thing.
 

[OOC: Sorry for not keeping up. Hell week at work.]

Ray is obviously shaken but backs down. Guys were wasting time. Lets all go to the dorms and get the books then we come back here and get Jas and take him to the hospital. Ray starts walking toward the dorms.
 

The Mandrake Campus

As Ray sets to go and walk around campus with the rest closely behind him they spend about 15 minutes searching but fail to find the dorms. The group halts for a second as they hand back against the University main building and take a good look at the halls and the corridors of the buildings that surround them. Too occupied with other stuff they hadn't noticed some things before untill now.

It's already late and just few students are still walking about on campus during a midsummer night. The halls are strangely quiet--a hush has fallen over the school. The few people left on the University terrain are scurrying from building to building, huddled together as if for protection.

No-one walks alone.

While Ray hangs back for a moment, Ross besides him, they notice it. And why the hell they didn't notice it before goes completely passed them. Messages have been spray-painted on the walls of all the buildings around the inner courtyard of the Universities main building where you all have crashed down for a moment.

"Get out of Eastfield!" one blares. "Rapists go home!" declares another. A few windows seem to have been broken out; some have been patched up, others haven't.

But appearantly not everyone is taking this persecution lying down, for you also notice fliers and posters, printed in neon colors, tacked to every available surface.

"Mandrake Unite!" they cry in large letters. "Rally to defend your school, your community and yourselves! Don't let rural prefudice destroy your chances at education! join the protest Tuesday, 2:00 pm, at City Hall."

[OOC: It's Thursday now /OOC]

You point the things you two see out to the others and don't immediatly know what to think about them until Ross pokes Ray in his side.

Yo Ray, check this out. Several of them are being blown about across the courtyard and something just caught my eye in them. You might want to check this out, seems to explain some of it. First thought it were pieces of todays paper or something that I could read for a bit to see what's going down in this town and just to kill a bit of time untill we find that dorm or something hehe. But they seem to be paper articles torn from two issues of the local paper and copied hundreds of time and spread across the terrain. Seems they've got quite some friction here between the local poppulace and the Mandrake Students after that...

*Points at the spray-paint messages and the fliers and posters.*

Handing out some of the papers he found while the others look around and pick some of them up from the corners or the grass where the wind blew them. Everyone takes a good look at them and then around them at the scared and huddled students around them and the quiet in town.

[OOC: I'll attach the two articles in posts behind this one and another update right after that. I'll resolve this situation right now till the point where you get to the frat house. /OOC]

All of you get back on your feet and wander back in the direction of the cars. But then James suddenly stops and pulls Jason at his shirt.

Euhm we came looking for the dorm remember... Well ya know, we found some stuff here but that's not what we came for and not really what we are looking into now is it... It could be me :rolleyes:

While he says it a small group of about 6 girls walks down the corridor adjescent to yours and seem to be in quite a hurry to get somewhere, or just someplace inside.

Well lets ask them?

James hustles down around the corner and into the other corridor where the girls turn around with a scared look on their faces when they see a man of James' build and vigor some hustling at them. But one of them seems to keep her head cool and not easily scared and steps in front of the rest and gives you a tough look, but her trembling hands and the way she clutches her books give her away.

Well at least she's trying.

Comming to a full stop about 15 ft. away from the girls, James puts his hands up while he looks at the girls and pities them for a bit. Having to walk around in this fear.

Wow girls! Calm down! I mean you no harm, I just read the articles blowing about here and I'm just lost on campus and I need to get somewhere.

One of the other girls seems to loossen up a bit after James' words, and his cute smile...

Heh got lost? Happens to everyone once in a while, I'm here in my last year now I hope and sometimes all the halls and corridors seem to look alike, even to me. But well I guess you were going somewhere? Which building are you looking for?

Meanwhile the rest of the group comes walking around the corner and stumble into view of the girls.

Ow first well, I'm with them so don't worry about them, they're cool. But we were looking for the boys dormitory, or rather well the Omega Pi Frat house. We supposed it's somewhere on campus or just outside but we've been searching for almost 45 mins now and we don't seem to be getting anywhere exept from chemistry to physics to astrology and maths buildings.

The girls smile and seem to have lost the sense of fear and for a moment the threatening and heavy atmosphere of the campus seems to fade away.

Well actually, the Omega Pi frat house is in town. This university doesn't have it's own dormitories so students have to find their own rooms and places in or around town. I try and point out where the frat house is, I suppose you are by car right?

James nods and the girl goes on to explain how to find it. After pointing it out the girls huddle back together again and wander off chattering through the hallways of the University while the rest of you head back for the vehicles and prepare to head for the Frat house.

[OOC: Frat house post after this one./OOC]
 

The Omega Pi house

The home of the Omega Pi fraternity for the last 50 years, this frat house has seen better days. The three-story structure needs a coat of paint, and one of the Greek letters has fallen off, leaving only a three-foot wooden "omega" hanging over the door. The front porch is littered with empty beer cans, cigarette butts, and used tabs of what would most likely be pixie dust. Loud rock music booms from inside the house, its bass echoing down the street and shaking your innards. The front of the door is unlocked and slightly ajar, but it is too dark inside to see anything on the ground floor--though there are lights on upstairs.

[OOC: Done :p /OOC]

"Hehe, I like bass," James says as they gather on the sidewalk, feeling the concrete pulse beneath them, "It'd be really kewl if we ran in there holding up our driver's licenses and yelling that we were cops, but I guess that can wait for a better time."
 

Doc gets out of the car and looks at the place. The bass resonating his glasses and his old bones. He opens the door for Jason so he can get out on the other side of the car. Then he walks up to James and hangs next to him as they both look at the house and cracking a smile a James' remark.

Hmmm I think I'll wait outside in the car... this music isn't my style and it's allready giving me a headache so... I'll be out here in my car waiting for you guys. The music rings my old bones to boot, elderly aren't made for this so I'm skipping this one.
