...down in a chair next to Jackson's. She curls her knees to her chest, the stuffed animal, Puffball popple clung to her, as always. Heavily bitten down nails start to get another round of nibbling. Jafari hadn't been paying much attention to news that anyone was hurt or nothing. He'd, in fact, been away for a while, in Montreal. Little sisters had to be taken care of sometimes, after all.

...Jake. Apparently, guide dogs and crowded dance floors don't mix too well. She came here by cab and makes her way in with the classic white stick, which, of course, gets her stared at. A little. Jafari appeared by another, unconventional way...at least unconventional for most people. He appeared through a lamp post nearby. As he exited out, he did a minor somersault and landed squarely on his...

I think I spooked Kevin a little. He is so shy, but he's a nice kid because of it. I think that he is one of the kids at the school I wouldn't mind hanging around with more. I'm glad that we got to spend...schoolkids probably need more friends outside of the place. I'd be happy to be The Outsider if it means I get to know them too. I wonder if they would like to go sledding. I've never gone sledding. :

... Cerene gives Warren a blank look that dissolves only once he explains. "Oh." She wiggles her fingers to Jackson as he leaves. "Bye," she says, feeling utterly no remorse for taunting the poor boy. Jafari seems to be entering into the Kitchen just as Jackson is leaving. Jackson clutches his clipboard to his chest, head bowed as he heads for the door. He looks up again, blinking in brief startlement...

...mug of hot chocolate sitting beside him. His hair, in the holiday vein, is striped bright red and green; the pattern of colour in it shift in time with the twinkling of the Christmas tree's lights. Jafari can't claim any such feat as having hair that is shifting in colour in time with the Christmas tree lights, but it might be with some interest that he is walking into the kitchen instead of making...

... he's out taking a nice stroll, wanting to see this city he will soon conquer. With a small grin he looks over to the ice skating rink already with some dotted skaters, but no massive tree. Yet. Jafari appears to be out for a walk as well. Well...a stroll. A pleasant stroll while not having to worry about school at all. He takes a deep breath in and looks all around, taking in all the activities...

...and proximity to Broadway. Ninth Avenue in particular is lined by a vast variety of ethnic restaurants, and is where the International Food Festival is held every May. It's the mid-afternoon and Jafari as walking down the street with his hands in jeans pockets and a watchful eye for everywhere he goes. Not too suspicious, but suspicious enough. He hums slightly a nameless tune as he strolls the...
