Jideh walked in step with his friends, retreating back into himself for a spell. It had not been too bad of a day, making friends and learning about the abilities they all had- he had forgotten his luggage again. They reached a central square of sorts. A truly massive fountain dominated the space, and there was something... Funny, about the arcs and streams that the water made. Before Jideh could reflect any further on this, Zeke broke from the group and ran up to the fountain, nearly tackling some poor girl. Jideh guessed that Zeke was, as he had already demonstrated, merely looking for a good angle from which to draw with light. Jideh felt he should inform this girl that their Zeke was not in fact harassing her intentionally. Crossing the breadth of the square, Jideh was even more impressed by the fountain, seeing the long fingers of shade that curled deep underneath the fountain. This girl was older, and dressed like it. Jideh managed to maintain a respectable manner, only looking at her eyes, but even to him it felt a tad forced. Was she trying to get him to look? Not important, he needed to tell her, "Apologies, our breasts are just playin-"

Jideh turned carnation red on the spot.

Jordan was taking the mother of all dumps. He was pinching a loaf, dropping a brick, "fertilizing," as the boys in Texas used to say. Those poor kids, they're lucky they aren't in he-YAAAARGHHH!

...

Twenty minutes later, Jordan had arrived at the central square. He waited by the east side, glowering at the massive monument to Kano's idiocy. It was a well-known fact that Kano was one of a precious few elementalists with Dual Mastery. This fountain, with its perfectly placed streams and shades, was essentially a powerful reminder of Kano's power, and if you looked at it from the right angle, even resembled the sickeningly unnatural form of the Headmaster's current body. There had even been times when Kano sprung out of the fountain and nobody had been the wiser. He'd scared the hell out of Jordan to no end when he did that. This "statue" of sorts was Jordan's least favourite feature on the Academy grounds. And yet, Jordan thought he could see some students playing near the fountain. Unbelievable. He'd wait for Kanako here, where he could keep an eye on the most innocuous yet simultaneously dangerous location in the entire school, even counting Jordan's shed. Unfortunately. "It's a friggin' nuke sitting in the middle of our school," Jordan muttered, shaking his head.
