Some Top-Level Ideas:

• Faculty Preparations & Mingle (Before September 8th)
  The faculty of Lofty Heights has a lot to do before the school year actually starts — prepping their classrooms, working out a curriculum, getting to know each other, getting the office to order the right supplies.



• The Wormhole Projectors on the Bus Go Pew Pew Pew
  The bus stops for Lofty Heights students are peppered throughout each of the cities. Parents and students alike are waiting there to be picked up.
  
  Once you're on the road, things seem normal... until a womrhole opens up. The bus goes right through it, and suddenly all you can see out the window is clouds below... and the massive floating school complex on the horizon.



• In-School Interaction
  Are you lost on your way to your next class? Having trouble getting your locker open? See a friend and want to chat? Or maybe there's a pack of Seniors on the pros wl for new students, looking to do a little bullying hazing.
  
  Or maybe you're already in the classroom, trying to wrangle your rowdy students — or, perhaps, you're a student trying to make sense of the current lesson.
  
  When lunch time rolls around, do you sit alone? Or do you spot a friend or acquaintance and sit with them?
  
  Anything that would make sense in the context of the school :D

[ Dylan's eyebrows go up, but he doesn't question it — he knows what it's like not to want to go home, too, for a multitude of reasons. ]

Well, I can't fly or anything, so outside of faking sick I'm not sure I can help with escape.

But once school lets out... do you need somewhere else to crash for a while?

[demigoth]

[ He hops down to the floor. It’s a weird angle to have a conversation, and, if he stays in the window too long, he might be seen. ]

I guess escape would only be good for today anyway. I need something permanent.

[ Nico just doesn’t know what that IS. After the debacle at the boarding school, no one’s bothered trying to send him. He doesn’t like the attention the guilds and government give him, despite it being the bare minimum by ordinary standards. ]

Ah… no. I’m fine. I’ve got places to stay.

[codicies]

Okay, cool.

Sorry I can't help with busting out. But if you need anything, you can still text me.

[demigoth]

I can?

[ Forgive him. He’s still used to this whole “friends” things on a grander scale, especially when it doesn’t involve some element of force. You have to work with Nico because only he can balance a banana on his head. ]

I mean - yeah. You’re great with automatons in a fight.

[codicies]

And I'm pretty good at curating memes, too!

[ He pulls out his phone and shows Nico this gem. ]

But seriously, you seem cool, and I know your powers are cool. It'd be fun to hang out sometime.

[demigoth]

[ Nico looks and, okay Dylan wins, he laughs at the meme. It's dumb funny, and sometimes, he really goes for dumb funny.

Still strange to be considered cool, but it's not so odd coming from the kid who kinda sorta has tentacles. If anyone was going to want to hang out with Nico, it's probably him. ]

Yeah. That'd be cool. You should give me your telephone number, and we could...

[ Um. What do teenagers do outside of camp in the 2020s? ]

Go... rock climbing or something?

[ Ugh, what? Why is this so painful?

Nico makes no move to take out his own cellphone number to save it in the contacts, intending to memorize it because nobody explained to him there was an app for that. ]
