Sept 25th - I Only Have To Do It

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

Sept 25th - I Only Have To Do It

Postby Jennifer Newgate » Thu Apr 16, 2015 12:51 pm

Jennifer is sulking around the grounds with a rake in her hand. She's ever so slowly raking leaves into a pile but she's not exactly exerting herself much. Going by the look on her face she has been sentenced to slave away in the salt mines and she sends angry glares at anybody who looks her way.

"It's not that bad is it?" Graham asked, raking much more efficiently.

"I could be reading or listening to music but no, thanks to the Thought Police I'm stuck here. This is worse than detention. Public humiliation, that's what it is."

"How is detention better? Cramped in a small, stuffy room, bored out my skull sure doesn't appeal to me."

Brigid is strolling by, and spots them.

"...okay, I can guess why you got stuck on grounds duty, but what'd the Boy Scout do?"

Maybe she's corrupting him? I don't know. How fun could he be? Well, he's a boy. It can't be that hard to convince him to do something stupid.

"Got busted hanging around my bad influence." Jennifer growls, her mood only getting worse.

"So you think she's a bad influence?" Brigid smirks toothily.

Ooooooh.

That little exchange has Jennifer raking the ground much more angrily, which doesn't really work, which only serves to piss her off more.

"He got busted for smoking my pot." she says, trying not to stare daggers at Brigid while trying to block her thoughts out.

"Oh, geez. What, did someone rat you guys out?"

He's kinda adorable when he's flustered.
