Between classes

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

Between classes

Nash walked in the common room and sat down on a chair. He looked through the magazines available and ended up picking up a car magazine which he started to leaf through. He would occasionally look over and glance at his watch.

"Impatient, young man?" Professor Sackville said, entering the room.

“Huh?” Nash looked up from the magazine. “Oh, Professor Sackville. No, I'm just trying not to loose track of time before my next class.” Nash again looks at his watch.

Most people would only notice a few things about Nash's watch, mainly that the watch itself looked very old, and that the band didn't match and looked new. Very few people would be able to tell it was a no-name knock-off of a Rolex from the 50's.

Roland, who knew very little about watches, would miss all off this.

"You know, you don't need to check every 30 seconds. Time doesn't randomly speed up."

"I just really don't want to be late. Professor Weaver has gotten on to me before for being late and she's scarier than ever in her current form."

"Yes, I can see that," Roland chuckled. "Well, you don't need to worry. Most of the faculty here are fairly well behaved."

“It not that I'd think she'd attack me or anything. I just think what ever punishment she came up with would be way worse than usual.”

“The classics. Because twenty-first century century kids are sure to understand the nuances of nineteenth century literature.”

"Oh, I prefer my things a bit older. Have you ever read the original Arabian Nights? Or, I suppose, a translation of it?"

“The whole thing? No. I'm pretty sure I had to read part of it for a class a year or two ago though."
