I12DT - Exploring the Grounds ((open))

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

Sidney is wandering around the gardens, looking for nooks and crannies and getting an idea of what's where.

She would find Haley meditating under a tree, bundled in a University of Texas hoodie, floating two feet off the ground.

Sidney walks over, not particularly sneaking up on her but not being particularly loud either. She just watches her curiously for a while as Haley floats.

"Hey, Sidney," Haley said casually, her eyes closed.

She was silent for a second as her face scrunched up in confusion. "Wait, who the hell is..."

Her eyes fluttered open. "Uh...hey."

"Meditating. It's supposed to help with m--“

Haley realized at this point that she was no longer on the ground, and floated back down.

"My control," she smirked.

Haley climbed up onto Sid's back and made sure she had a secure grip around Sid's trunk with her legs before taking a deep breath to focus and exhaling slowly. Together, the slowly lifted up off the ground, hovering just a foot or two while Haley got a feel for their combined weight and the balance of everything.

"Okay. Don't ask to go fast or do barrel rolls and shit, cuz I'm not that cool yet, but the view is still pretty fucking cool."

Haley pushed them further off the ground and they lazily floated over the grounds and above the nearby hedge maze.

"Gotcha. More blimp than plane." she grins as they float up into the air.


"Okay this might be lacking in bang but it's still pretty fucking rad."

"I'll assume blimp wasn't a comment on my weight, and not drop you from 100 feet," she teased with a chuckle.

"It is neat up here though. I'm meditating and shit to get so it's kinda second nature and I can do more stuff while flying," she said as the started a gradual decent into the center of the maze.

Sidney does her best to try and memorize at least one path to a dead-end somewhere in the maze though she'd probably need pen and paper.

"Hah, nah, but you should find a better threat." she laughs. "This is a pretty sweet spot though. Gonna have to make a map or something."

"Thanks!" she says, ignoring the buzzing phone in her backpack and pulling out a small bag full of what probably isn't oregano (unless Haley is really naive) along with a bag of tobacco.

"We might want to find a dead end that isn't here if that's what I think it is. There is one teacher who knows the maze pretty well," she smirked. "And are you willing to share?"

"Just one, really. And while I'm pretty cool with him, and hell, he might join us for as crazy as he is, we should probably pick a dead end a bit towards the far side of the maze from the school if we're busting that out."
