TEST DRIVE MEME



Welcome to Clarion Preparatory Academy for Young Ladies and Gentlemen, where you'll be given (or be giving) the finest education money can buy. Come from a poor family? Don't worry, that's what scholarships are for. Just don't be surprised if the old money kids look down their noses at you.

The Headmistress is preparing everything for the start of the semester, so now is the time to have a look around the school and grounds and to familiarize yourself with your surroundings. It might be best to get all your mischief-making out of the way now, before the teachers can give you demerits for bad behavior. Teachers and students alike are given the day to relax and get settled in.

Maybe you'd like to get settled into your dormitory room and meet your roommate and the other occupants of your floor? Or perhaps you've been there, done that and you'd rather poke around the drafty attic in search of those ghosts you've heard about.

Once that's done, you can take a look around the grounds, say hi to the horses in their stables, or play croquet with a new friend. The lunch ladies are in a good mood today, so you could pop into the cafeteria for a cold glass of lemonade. Or maybe you're lured in by the library, preferring to while away your free hours between dusty, sweet-smelling stacks of books. Just don't investigate the sounds coming from behind those stacks too closely...

The school is yours for the exploring. Your Clarion adventure begins today!

"Whatsa horse need shoes for?" The disdain returns, even if he damn well knows the answer because he's not an idiot. He glances down at his own shoes, just to make sure they haven't yet been ruined.

"Nice one, Stark. Classic. I'm real tickled." He drawls, stepping back as Tony opens the pen as if he expects the horse will follow him. "Maybe I'm martyring myself for a little peace and quiet. What's it to you?"

"Looking better than you." Tony offers and closes the pen door behind him, Friday's only response to the situation is to turn around and face the boys, Tony pays her no mind as he kicks the ground to work out the dirt that has compacted itself into the grooves of his boots.

"Peace and quiet? You're from New York. Do you even know what those words mean?" Because growing up in New York himself, of course Tony was going to know where Nick was from, the best thing about New York was that it didn't know the meaning of peace and quiet.
