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

[She blinks at the question of her own question, bewildered by the boy, but also suddenly very acutely aware how very out of place she is in this world.]

A… plumber?

[ His English is really good, and he knows it. No one catches him with a strong accent, and he only uses Italian when he's upset. Plumber is the right word, but maybe it's the wrong universe's right word? Nico hasn't needed to call a plumber, ever. ]

Do they call them something else here? The people that fix the pipes and the toilets?

[anewtruth]

I’m… not sure. This sphere is much different from the one I come from. More advanced…?

[Shes feeling more awkward in this conversation by the second.]

I suppose we just didn’t have them. But I think I understand now.

[Sort of. ]

My world’s different from here, too.

[ He doesn’t feel comfortable explaining how, because he’s not really sure how different. In his world, magic and demigods can make technology malfunction, and he spent half his life pre-Internet, pre-television, and pre-modern appliances in the home. No one’s even explained to him why he shouldn’t stick a fork in the toaster.

So he’s glossing over the part about whose world is more advanced. There are reasons for today to suck for both teens, but feeling stupid isn’t one of them. ]

You’re new, too. Don’t worry. Your world - Sphere - probably calls them something else. Just change the subject if someone says something that you aren’t sure about.
