Lise sighed. "You are no fun at all." She said. Lise decided to
read and picked out an ebook from her library she had been wanting
to start. Troye meanwhile leaned the guitar case against the wall
and stretched. He sat back down on his bed and pulled out his
phone, playing a level in a game he had been stuck on before
gradually dozing off.
Nyx sat on her bed in a floppy t-shirt and a pair of shorts.She was
reading a Sherlock Holmes book while messing with a rubix cube at
the same time."Hmm is it who I think it is Sher?Is it James
Moriarty?"She mumbles to herself with a small smile.
Papi smiled as he put the toad he had caught in his satchel. "I
hope you don't mind staying with me for a bit!" Papi whispered as
he scanned the little brooke he was playing at for more little
creatures. "Not at all..." The toad piped up. Papi smiled, his eyes
shining with happiness. He was getting a little better! "I guess I
better return..." Papi muttered as he noticed the changing shadows.
Grabbing his net and jars, Papi trudged his way back to the school.
Troye heard his phone buzz and he woke up with a start. He rubbed
his eyes and glanced at it. His girlfriend had sent him a potential
song list for the party, along with a few songs they could perform
themselves. Troye looked at them before grabbing his earbuds and
plugging them in. He grabbed the guitar and pulled up one of the
song he knew how to play from the list to listen to.
he shrugged and sighed, thinking for a moment as he played his
game.
''and... truthfully i have been in a band before, just to put out
my answer on the one question Troye asked me, i used to play the
guitar...'' Jacob admitted quietly.

Wisteria had gone up to her dorm and was humming as she looked
through her thing's, though wasn't sure whether she was going to go
or not.
she sat down on the side of the bed and sighed, looking at the
invite on her phone.
Lise's face lit up. "Really? Oh that's cool. I've tried, but I'm
honestly not great. Troye can play, but he prefers the piano." She
said. She remember one time when one of her brother's tried to
teach her, and she still had a video of it. Not that she ever
wanted to see it again.
''like i said, i used too..... but that was a years ago, so i've
pretty much put it in the past.. but maybe i could try to pick back
up on it...? i don't know, i'm more into writing than playing an
instrument'' he said.
"Writing huh? Are you any good?" Lise asked. She was generally
interested, she loved to read. Troye found the right song and put
his phone next to him, and played along softly to the song, which
was This Town by Niall Horan. His sister went crazy over that song,
and Thalia liked it too.
When Papi arrived in his room, he switched the suspenders and khaki
pants for the party with a pair of overalls. "There...now Mr. Toad
will be comfortable tomorrow at the party in my overalls' pocket
instead of my khaki shorts' pocket..." Papi mused as he placed Mr.
Toad in an empty container.
Troye played for a little while longer but eventually stopped. He
wasn't a huge fan of the guitar, and he only played it in the first
place because of family and friends. He put it gently on the bed
before looking at the outfit Thalia had told him to wear. It
consisted of black pant, a white button up shirt, and a black vest
with a pocket on one side. He eyed it warily. Did he really
have to wear it? It would be embarrassing... But then again,
he's had to do lots of embarrassing things.
''if i didn't would i have brought it up...? anyway.... and
apparently from what my human mother i guess...? told me i used to
sing while playing the guitar when i played it at the time, and i
sounded good when my voice harmonized with the guitar..... now
writing i'm pretty good at, though i never really share my stories,
kind of too embarrassing..'' he muttered, looking away while
scratching his face a bit.
Lise poked his cheek. "No need to be embarrassed, I'm sure your
stories are great." She said. She had tried her hand at creative
writing, but she found she was better suited for reading than
writing. Troye had tried the outfit on and it fit surprisingly
well. Where the heck did they even find this? He wondered.
He looked at himself on the full length mirror and he fiddled with
the sleeves. He didn't look half bad.
''if you'd read them, you'd know why i'd rather keep them to
myself'' Jacob said, looking back at Lise while pushing her hand
away from his face.
he went scrolling through his phone and brought up a picture of his
friend since he had to take the picture of him.
''this was who i mentioned, he dressed up as an anime character
name's... Ciel..? i think that's how it's pronounced.. he dressed
up as him, even had the same colored eye contacts to go with the
outfit'' he said.
''yeah, and like i said, i was told to dress up as a butler.... and
god that wig itched like you wouldn't believe when i had to dress
up in that costume'' he said.
''but i will admit... i made one hell of a good looking demon
butler'' he mused, grinning a bit.
Jacob got up and stretched, yawning a little before he stuffed his
phone into his pocket.
''i'm gonna head off to my dorm now, you can follow if you like but
i plan to sleep'' he said.
~~~~~~
Wisteria continued rummaging through her luggage and bag's before
she pulled out a long dress that had elbow length sleeves and was
just above the ankle's and looked at it, smiling a little.
''maybe i could wear this....'' she mumbled to herself, then went
to find a hanger so she could put it up.
Lise rolled her eyes and got up. "Now you sound like Troye. And
nah, you sleep. I want to finish unpacking." She said, pulling out
her phone and checking the time. She smiled and gave a little wave.
"That was a nice chat. We should do it again some time." She said
before heading off.
