I'll wait for you to post as the motel attendant and for Flamelord to post again so I can make a full fledged response instead of a fragment of one ^^;

Raccoon had warned Kwes that someone was not too far away from approaching him and Kwes took the extra time before Benjamin caught up to him to finish and then dispose of the cigarette he had been smoking. It was a nasty habit that he knew he should probably quit one day but today was not that day. Kwes was pleasantly surprised that it was Benjamin that had caught him however. He was one of the friendlier faces around KingsRidge and a fellow House Luna member. While he certainly wasn't exciting nor spontaneous like the other bubbly characters that attended this institution, Kwes appreciated his company.

"Ah, Benjamin. It's good to see you again as well," Kwes smiled and shook his hand as he Raccoon climbed back inside of his backpack. While Familiars were a common sight among the Academy, Raccoon had no extraordinary defining features that made him stand out from regular raccoons so Kwes preferred him to stay out of sight so he wouldn't be mistaken for a common rodent. "My summer was eventful but I'm more interested in hearing how yours went." Which was true, Kwes didn't like talking about his personal life out of habit and preferred listening to other people's stories. As the duo entered the cafeteria, a flash of blond curly hair bouncing struck the corner of his eye. "Looks like Rylan beat us here."

She was already surrounded by a posse of her followers however so Kwes grabbed a cup of breakfast coffee and an inordinately large muffin before sitting down a few tables down from Rylan. "So, tell me about India. Did you get to meet Aladdin?"

So.... What happened to Sebastian's CS? I tried finding it in the thread earllier and it looks like Bobo deleted it.

So many people....

Dozens of students had gathered into the courtyard and a sense of unease had began to set roots into Kwes. He always enjoyed Reuben's speech, even if he didn't pay attention half of the time to what he was actually saying. It was just refreshing to hear him talk about returning to school as if it were the start of a grand adventure. After all, isn't school just a grand adventure designed to teach students lessons along the way before they are thrown into the real world? Still, Kwes couldn't shake his discomfort and even Raccoon, Kwes' trusty familiar and ironically named friend, began scratching along the edges of his backpack. Which was strange since Raccoon was usually quite well behaved.

First day of school and I'm already uncomfortable.

Sigh

Kwes walked out of the meeting without much ado and began trekking towards the cafeteria, taking a less than conventional route that seemed to wind like a spiderweb through the academy grounds. He noticed that many of the students began clumping together in social clusters but Kwes had never been very popular and found himself walking alone towards the cafeteria. He didn't know whether that upset him or not. He would of preferred some companionship to talk to but talking leads to questions and Kwes wasn't sure if he was ready for questions about his summer.

So instead Kwes walked towards the cafeteria, alone with his thoughts. Perhaps someone would join him, perhaps no one would. He wouldn't know until it happened so there was no use worrying about it. Unknowingly, he was approaching the cafeteria at the same pace as another KingsRidge student, Rylan Amalia Keenan. It would be up to chance now if the two parties would converge at the cafeteria at the same time or if another student would meet Kwes before then. Since the path that he was talking was awfully desolate, Kwes felt comfortable enough to let Raccoon out of his backpack and light up a cigarette. The nicotine calmed his nerves and gave him a false sense of a relaxed state, something that he desired deeply. Inhaling the toxic fumes deeply into his lungs, he sighed again and felt the smoke depart the same way it entered his lungs. Many wizards had a distaste for any product designed by Muggles, and cigarettes and other substances were especially frowned upon by the magic society and banned on school grounds. Not that it bothered Kwes very much, he just had to be careful when he indulged in his vices. Raccoon trotted along Kwes like a well trained beagle, sure to alert his master if another person was detected following them.

Perhaps this year won't be too bad buddy, perhaps not.

Alright, I changed the faction on Cole's CS

That's if it ever starts.

'What do you think death is like Cole?'

'Quiet, peaceful.'

'Doesn't sound too bad when you put it that way.'

'No it doesn't Doc, no it doesn't.'

'Do you want to die Cole? Do you believe that you'll be reunited with Silvia through death?'

'...'

With a few drinks of confidence, Cole walked outside of the bar and back into the crowds. As he slowly approached the capital he wondered if they already had forces dispatched to look for him. They probably did. He couldn't very well just disappear, he wasn't sneaky enough and there were too many cameras anyways. That would also require keeping a low profile, something that Cole should of considered before blowing up vegetable carts.

Instead he decided that he'd give the Unity's dogs a bone to play with in the mean time. Walking into an abandoned construction site under progress, it looked as if they were building another residential district by the capital, Cole decided that this was where he'd draw attention.

One short tour of the construction complex later, and Cole was on his way to the nearest motel.

And just like that, the entire lot was set ablaze.

Cole gave the motel attendant extra money for a room by a window facing the construction district, which was now flooded by emergency services trying to assess the situation. He chose the construction site due to the lack of cameras so it would hopefully take the the local police force a while to connect the market bombing earlier in the day with the construction lot fire while drawing attention to whichever agent that was after him, if there was one, and give him an idea of who he was up against. He bribed the attendant with another generous tip to phone him if anyone came looking for one 'Cole Carton'. He checked into his room with a false alias but he knew that the city cameras would eventually triangulate his position to the motel.

Now it was a waiting game.
