Who: Skye, OPEN (to the teenagers)
Where: The Chapel
When: Dawn

Who: Medea and Skye
Where: The Mall
When: Early Afternoon

Who: Skye and Amy
Where: Redbird house
When: Late morning

Amy was sipping tea with Ms. Redbird at her kitchen table with her blue rain boots crossed under the table, she was excited, she was on the right track, she knew it. She just had to get her hands on the old iron works records, do a little nosing around. "Mom's doing real great in Arizona," she said. "Communing with the good vibrations of the universe and stuff she wants me to come down and visit her for Thanksgiving, you know? It'll give Daddy a break."

Who: Billy and Skye
Where: The Diner
When: Around lunch time

Skye was sitting at a table at the diner, nibbling on a grilled cheese sandwich. So far her salad was untouched, but she liked to save that for last, anyway. And her green tea was cooling in it's cup - she'd already burnt her tongue once on it, and was rather disinclined to do it again today.

Who: Skye and Thom
Where: The Diner
When: Shortly after school

Who: Jesse and Skye
When: morning, between classes
Where: around the MSHS hallways

Jesse had an interest in Chemistry that could fill a teaspoon, and instead of his usual dozing-state, he'd found a much more creative way to fill his time. He'd pulled page after page of notebook paper out and made signs with the set of colored sharpies he always carried with him. He'd been inspired by something he'd watched on the news that morning as he munched on cereal, and decided that today was as good a day as any to start a movement.

When the bell rang he had a good handful, and set out on his mission. Tape in his other hand, he started slapping the homemade posters up all down the hallway. SUPPORT GHOST RIGHTS!!! Call your congressman! Equality for all!! Ghosts for President! WE MAY TAKE THEIR LIVES, BUT WE'LL NEVER TAKE THEIR FREEDOM!!! Ghosts bless the USA!! they declared in big colorful lettering, among other things that had just come to him. He slapped them up haphazardly, over drinking fountains and on people's lockers, already dreaming about forming a picket line outside.

Who: Skye and Kyle
When: After school
Where: Skating rink

Who: Gabe and Skye
Where: MSHS hallways
When: Before school starts

Sometimes Skye's aunt was a little oblivious to things like schedules and nonsense like that, especially when she was off doing damage control because of ghosts. Skye wasn't processing that last bit very well, it was just maybe the last straw on her capability too wrap her head around things in general, but it did mean that she was dropped off at school way to early for even her own personal tastes. Somehow school always felt empty and echoing when there was no one in the hallways.

So Skye was kind of wandering around, feeling kind of lost and lonely and unsure of what to do in an empty school, which did have people and some of them you could see through.

Who: Kavin and Skye
Where: Streets of Marquette and Skye's house
When: Night

Skye wasn't handling the fact that there was a large thing in her basement very well. Mostly because she was upstairs when she saw it and by some damned miracle it didn't see her, breaking through the front door and chasing her Aunt's cat down the stairs. Her brain wasn't really processing it in any kind of way, but it did mostly reject the idea of a bear, because Skye had seen bears and this was almost-entirely-but-not-completely unlike a bear. In a truce with her sanity, Skye chose not to question the situation and instead went out through the back, to the garage. In the garage, she got the hunting rifle that belonged to her cousin, the ammunition, and her Aunt's car (her Aunt having, yet again, the lucky chance of being out of town - Skye had been invited, but she'd already said she was going to Kavin's party). And Skye left the property.

Who: Kavin and Skye
When: Between second and third
Where: Hallways

Kavin was between classes when he saw Skye. He might not have known the girl all that well, but hey, parties were meant to be big and every person counted. If he invited her, she'd invite someone else, and so on and so forth. Word of mouth was a blessed thing, so he shifted his backpack on his shoulder and made his way towards the girl. "Hey you." he said as he approached her. "How're you?"

Who: Dylan and Skye
When: Afternoon
Where: Outside a random take-away store

Who: Kyle and Skye
Where: MSHS
When: Just before 1st period

Skye was walking through the hallways, lazily, not in any particular rush because she had plenty of time to get to class. At least, she was pretty sure she did. She forgot her watch this morning. Anyway, she was being lazily about it and greeting people here or there if they wanted to say hi or whatever, and eventually she came upon Kyle. The Kyle she met at Kavin's party. Really, she was surprised she hadn't run into him earlier, but that's what you got when you weren't paying attention. "Hey, good morning."

Who: Aaron and Skye
Where: cafeteria at MSHS
When: lunch

Who: Kavin and Skye
Where: Hallways of MSHS
When: Between second and third period

Who: Isaac and Skye
Where: MSHS
When: Between 1st and 2nd Period

Who: Chrissy and Skye
Where: Parade!
When: During the Parade. Yay Parade!

Skye'd been suitably impressed with the parade in general, since she'd never seen one before, and she caught a couple pieces of candy, too. But she threw those in her shoulder bag to save for later; maybe her aunt would like one as well. She knew it was probably a rather small one, considering how fast it was thrown together, but they were professionals, after all, so maybe not? Skye didn't know. Whatever. She was enjoying herself and people seemed to be having a wonderful time with it.

Who: Chelo and Skye
Where: Chelo's shop
When: Ten in the morning

Skye decided that if she was going to go look for accessories today, she was going to go deliver resumes around, too. Being a 'girl', as Chrissy put it, was expensive. Not that she was going to look for anything that took up a lot of time, of course. She had things to do. But Skye was thinking maybe two or three days a week was a good a start as any and later on she could decide whether or not it was worth keeping.

Who: Chrissy and Skye
Where: Kavin's Party
When: during the party

Who: Chrissy and Skye
Where: over the phone
When: 6-ish

Skye made herself some soup and a sandwich for her supper - her aunt was working late again; the woman usually got stuck with the evening shifts - and cleaned up. Then she did a little homework and rapidly got bored of that. So she went to find her phone, and then dialed up Chrissy, which was really the only phone number she knew. She was mostly quite pleased with herself, since she found something she and Chrissy could do together and would hopefully make Chrissy feel a little better.

So Skye let it ring.

Sammy had long since been gone and now Chrissy was sprawled out across her bed, staring up at the ceiling and trying to figure out just how she could have been so damn stupid. The phone ringing got her attention and she snagged her cell off the beside table. Flipping it open after seeing Skye's name light up. "Hey, Skye." she said. "What's up?"

Who: Kaysen and Skye
Where: MSHS
When: Afternoon

Who: Kavin and Skye
When: Between second and third period
Where: MSHS

Skye was... really angry at herself. That was the best way to put it. She'd completely missed out on what happened to Chrissy, didn't even think to call her on Sunday because she had a bunch of things she had to do because she skipped them on Saturday, and on Monday, today, she found out what happened? Oh yeah. Angry. At herself and other people. She should've been there! Chrissy was her friend in a school full of acquaintances.

Who: Chrissy, Skye, and Lily
When: Before the dance!
Where: Chrissy's place

Lily loved a day of pampering every now and again - she sure wouldn't want to do it regularly and she could barely get through two days without chipping her nail polish, but it had been fun to sit in the salon, get her hair and nails done, and make new friends. Her dress was on the ostentatious side, all light teal and gold, so she'd left everything else simple. Her naturally wavy dark hair was tamed into a big mass of soft curls, small tendrils framing her face and the rest drawn back into a soft ponytail with a gold clip at her nape just under her right ear, and she'd chosen a nice, neutral shell-pink for her nails. Once she was sufficiently primped, she temporarily parted ways with Chrissy to go home and grab her dress and accessories.

It didn't take long to go home and shove her makeup and other girly accouterments into her backpack, and soon enough she was at Chrissy's doorstep - or what she hoped was her doorstep, assuming she'd remembered the directions correctly. Dress in its garment bag slung over her shoulder with the backpack, Lily knocked and waited.

Who: Chrissy & Skye
When: Early evening, before the game
Where: Chrissy's house

Chrissy was sifting through her closet trying to find something that would look decent on the other girls body. Finally she emerged from the walk-in with a light green sweater and a pair of black jeans. "Here." she said. "Try these on and see if they fit okay." she said. She hoped it'd look okay on her. She was planning on introducing Skye to Travis today. She'd coaxed the football player into taking Skye to the dance the following night, but had yet to let Skye in on that little detail.

They'd been too busy shopping that day for her to really get a chance to mention it. She was just glad that the dress was bought and she didn't have to worry about it any longer. She wouldn't wear the dress they'd finally settled on for Skye, but at least the girl would look like she was going to a dance and not to a cow milking.

Who: Chrissy & Skye
When: 6pm
Where: Clothing store

After cheer leading practice, Chrissy showered at school and changed into some not so retro clothes she'd brought with her. She was meeting the new girl for some shopping and then a trip back to her house, the latter being mostly so the other girl could give her another opinion on how amazing she knew she already looked as she tried on the outfits she knew she'd buy that evening. Upon arriving at the store, it didn't take her long to find the girl amidst the racks of clothes near the back of the store. "Hey, you showed up. Already on my good side." she said with a smile. She wasn't sure how long that statement would hold true, after all it didn't take much to cross over onto the bad side of Chrissy Chapman. "Find anything?"

Who: Drea and Skye
Where: MSHS - study hall
When: afternoon

Skye was, for lack of a better phrase, bored out of her bloody skull. She was completely uninterested in doing her English or whatever class homework here at school, and she'd already done her math and science homework - neither of which were particularly hard. She entertained herself by doodling a little in her binder - mostly using the margins, but they spilled out across the bottom, creating a not-particularly-well drawn (as in, stick-figure styled) alien space battle.

Who: Skye & Chrissy
Where: The Diner
When: Around 4:30

Skye had decided, on her way home with her aunt's car, that she really wanted a cup of tea. She didn't drink coffee, but who needed that when you could get chi and lemon and 'African spice' or whatever it was called, which was a heck of a lot better (in Skye's opinion)? Anyway, she parked, wandered into the diner (internally flinching at the number of people there), and found herself a quiet little table in the back to order her tea from.

Who: Sammy and Skye
Where: English class
When: After lunch

If there was one class that Sammy always looked forward to out of the school day, it was English. There were never any numbers in English, or formulas, unless they were a word count or they turned up in a short-story respectively. Those were good places for them, since he never had anything to solve and get wrong in those cases, and that helped his dignity - and his patience - a little. There were never any times when he felt like crumpling up his English homework, or the book they used, and burning it on top of his desk, though countless times he felt like doing such to his science-related homework. Sammy smiled at the thought of burning the thick mathbook in his locker as he sat down in one of the free seats and began sorting his stuff out.

Who: Lucius, Skye
Where: Burke's Garage
When: after school

Skye had made a promise to her aunt the night before - which was, possibly, not the smartest idea - and that was to pick her aunt's car down to a garage, who had it in preparation for winter. Skye would walk from the school to aforementioned garage, and drive home. Unfortunately, neither of them had counted on rain potentially falling, but an appointment was an appointment, and her aunt kind of needed the car.

Who: Skye and Alexis
Where: Marquette Senior High School
When: Morning

Skye decided, early on, that they must have cranked the heat in preparation for winter in the highschool, and accidently forgot about the fact that it was fall and therefore the weather was sketchy at best. Way, way too hot. Luckily, it was easily resolved by removing her grey zip-up hoodie and folding it to put in her backpack. She had time. Skye was, after all, sitting in the office waiting for them to sort out her schedule, find her a map or a guide or something, and a locker. A locker would be helpful. Oh, and textbooks. That'd be a bonus. It was kind of funny though. Skye knew she looked young for her age, but she never really expected a secretary to look at her sympathetically and go "Sweetie, are you lost? This is the high school."

Who: Skye and Herbert
Where: The Streets
When: Afternoon

Skye had hid herself for a few hours, yesterday, after meeting the machete man, completely ignoring his advice that she get stitches until a bit later, but not completely ignoring the idea of barricading her house. And breaking the mirrors. She did that, too. Once you managed to wrap your head around the idea that shadows could kill you, the idea that they came from mirrors seemed in the natural course of things.
