Where: Everywhere and anywhere around school
When: the event
Rating: PG13 to start probably
Summary: Catch all for the event!
The Story:


Ever the studious student, its easy to run into Billy in the library, nose buried in a book about history or mythology. Feel free to interrupt his reading, especially if you want to talk about the book he's reading. Unless you don't want your ear talked off.

Billy can also be found helping his class set up the Rest Area. Even if he thinks its the lamest idea they could have come up with. He'll be pitching wherever and however he can.

He's also around the school, if you want to run into him anywhere. Loitering outside the fortune telling area, on his way to karaoke, visiting his friends in other classes. He's open for anything.

(PossiblyMad)

[mischiefandlies]

This was one of those dangerous days when Loki was bored. He'd been about to go devise some way for him to liven up the situation when he spotted Billy in the library. The book in his hand was some form of Norse Mythology and that caught the dark haired teen's attention immediately. He slid over and sat next to Billy, poking the rim of the book with an insistent finger that, if it wasn't pushed away, threatened to push the back of the book down to the table so he could look Billy in the eyes.

"Interesting subject choice, Kaplan." Loki grinned, mischievous eyes gleaming with a playful light.

Knowing that ignoring Loki would only make him more annoying, Billy put his book down and looked up at his friend. "I'm doing research, maybe I can figure out how to make you less annoying."

[mischiefandlies]

"I don't think you'll find much useful information in that book on me. I'm named after a Norse God, not an actual Norse God. However, I am completely flattered you think of me as a God." He winked playfully. "Am I really that bad to be around? The fact that you still talk to me at all says otherwise."

[actualwizard]

"Yes, but you try to live up to the name," Billy pointed out with a smirk. "I must be drawn to people who drive me completely insane. Blame Tommy."

[mischiefandlies]

"I think I'll thank him, instead." Loki rested his elbow on the table, propping his chin on his fist, getting comfortable because he didn't plan on moving any time soon. "I come by it naturally, no 'trying' involved." He chuckled. "So, did you find anything useful in those old scribbles to combat my devilishly charming personality?"

[actualwizard]

Billy rolled his eyes. "Yes, you are a natural pain in the ass," he smirked. "Nothing in here unless I need to try and prevent you from causing Ragnarok."

[mischiefandlies]

"Why, thank you!" No, Loki. That wasn't a compliment, but he certainly didn't seem to mind. "I might keep that knowledge on hand, just in case. You never know when I might start feeling Ragnarok-y. --that should be an ice cream flavour. Ragnarok-y Road."

He raised both eyebrows and pointed at the book with his free hand after giving up on his ice cream thought process. "And, for the record, I also refuse to give birth to any eight-legged steeds, world-dooming snakes, or guardians of he afterlife." You know, in case that wasn't clear.

[actualwizard]

Billy snorted in amusement, resisting the urge to facepalm at his friend.. "You might have something there, mythology ice cream. And yes, thank you very much for that mental image." Billy shuddered closing his book. "Now I going to picture that every time I want to read this. You giving birth to a giant snake."

[mischiefandlies]

Loki just grinned. "Well, actually, I think the only one he actually had himself was the horse, right? Weren't the others from his weird wives or something? Norse myth is really twisted." He laughed lightly.

"But, hey, if that's the image that stuck..." He shrugged. "I guess the vikings aren't the only twisted guys around."

[actualwizard]

Billy shook his head. "Can we just not talk about the mythological beasts you could potentially give birth to to cause the end of the world? I much prefer the stories where he tricks Thor into dressing in drag."

Allison didn't spend a whole lot of her time in the library - she was decent enough at school, and needed to practice her archery as often as possible. With her last tournament of her career coming up, the archery club captain had a lot she needed to prove. But sometimes even she needs a break from practice, and while she herself wouldn't just go to the library, she knows someone who would.

She'd met Billy during their first year, and they hit it off really well. More than anything, Billy was one of the few people Allison could actually go to when it came to her (semi)secret hobby - researching mythology and lore. He knows so much more than she does, and it's so interesting the kind of things he finds out. It hit her the other day that she hadn't seen him in the last couple of weeks, which is why she's stopping by the library now, settling into the seat across from him.

"Hey- what're you reading?"

[actualwizard]

Billy looked up startled for a moment before grinning at his friend. He had been wondering when Allison was going to stop by. He knew she a tournament coming up so he was surprised to see her at all.

"Hey!" He said closing his book. "Just doing some reading for class. Boring stuff, but I did find something the other day you might like."

[driven]

Allison couldn't help the way she laughed a little seeing Billy jump, muttering out a sorry as she reached over to pull out her notebook and a couple of books of her own homework, just to make it look like she was here to study.

"I should be doing some of that boring reading, honestly." But her eyes lit up a little at the mention of something she might like. "Oh? What kind of something?"

[actualwizard]

"We can do boring reading later," Billy said waving his hand and looking through his backpack. Letting out a quiet noise of triumph he found what he was looking for and pulled it out.

"Remember that obscure Egyptian mythology book I was telling you about? I managed to track it down and convinced my mom I needed it for class."

[driven]

"I like later." Especially when it involves homework. She's usually pretty on top of her schoolwork, but that doesn't mean she's always got it done ahead of time. It's hard to care about that kind of stuff when Billy's pulling out something.

"Yeah?" And there it is, and Allison's eyes go a little wide. "Wait, really? Oh my god- let me see." Sorry, Billy, she's reaching across for this book the moment he has it out of a bag.

[actualwizard]

Billy couldn't help the laugh that escaped him, he didn't even have a chance to hand the book over, she took it right out of his hands. "Excited much? He teased her.

[driven]

The look she gives him is something between uh, duh and apologetic as she opens the book to start flipping through it.

"Did you read any of it?"

[actualwizard]

"Not yet, I just flipped through it quickly." He was waiting for her, knowing she'd appreciate the book more than anyone else.

[driven]

She appreciates it, seriously, if her smile is anything to go by. Even if she can't manage to tear her eyes away from the charts and pictures and short clips of things she's picking up on at a first glance.

"Does you need this back at any point?" A.k.a. Allison wants to know how long she gets to keep it.

[actualwizard]

"I would like it back in general," Billy grinned. "But take it for as long as you like. " he doesn't mind lending it to her, it's nice to have someone who shares his passion for this kind of stuff.

Rest Area Set UP

[rattus_rattus]

Peter wandered over to the rest area, secretly wishing his class had thought of something so easy. An art show had him beyond nervous. He didn't have any talent, unlike some of his class mates, and everything he sketched he crumpled before he could really continue.

He sat down on one of the benches, scribbling in his book before lifting his head up and sighing deeply. Why did they have to do this every year? Peter was done with all of the excitement.

[actualwizard]

"Well that doesn't sound like a happy sigh," Billy said taking a seat next to Peter. "What's up Pete?"

[rattus_rattus]

"Nothing. Everything."

Peter looked over at Billy and frowned. "Why did I get the lucky class that is in charge of the Art Show? I can't draw! Everyone has to submit something and I don't even know where to begin! Do you think you could draw something for me? It doesn't have to be very detailed but anything will be better than my horrible stick figures."

[actualwizard]

Billy clapped Peter on the shoulder. "Hey, don't worry, we'll figure something out. I suck at drawing too."

He thought about it for a minute. "Whose says you have to draw? Why not paint? Make a big old mess on a canvas and call it modern art."

[rattus_rattus]

"I hate what I paint," Peter said sourly. "I don't like anything I manage to sketch. I think I might just find some way out of it. If they can't find me on the day of the festival then no one can expect a submission from me. Not like anyone will even notice."
