Jake  laughed a little bit and shook his head. " No no. Though i am a proud carnivore i can assure you that human is  not on the menu  for me." He cocked an eyebrow in curiosity and  knelt  down to look  tavros in the eye. " Why  are you asking mr nitram? You wouldn't be a cannibal  would you?"

Tavros ==> Venture Outside

  ” Yeah. I think that’d be nice. My  head sure could use a break from the parties. I would like to  actually attend one of said parties first though. Maybe have a small one once i get enough friends. We are sort of friends now aren’t we?” Jake asked with raised  eyebrows. It didn’t take much more than an  hour to earn jakes friendship and tavros was definitely the kind of person jake wanted to associate himself with.

“At least good acquaintances by this point. I know it’s unlikely we’d have any scholarly classes together  But if you sign  up for the equestrian elective i’d have your back.”

" You don't say." Jake would have  pinned  dirk exactly as the type who would wash his hands with that kind of frequency but  he supposed that he  couldn't  judge him for having obsessive hygiene." Yes. But just don't start getting any ideas  that i'm too  fragile to function or anything. I've had people treat me like that before and to be  fully  honest it wasn't the most fun." Jake raised his head up from the table  with a small yawn. The pot was wearing off fast but his  tired haze wasn't.

Dirk looked up to the other, nodding his head. “I understand. Metal plates, that’s rather fascinating. I haven’t ever met with anyone who had metal plates. I know some people with artificial joints though, and they tend to work well if you get a good one.” He chatted. “It’s really no problem. I don’t really eat many peanut products anyways. I would much rather be safe than sorry, though I doubt it would be a problem, considering I usually don’t go long without washing my hands.” He smiled.

" Jake sir. Jake english." Jake pushed the door open just a little bit more and leaned against it for back support that he didn't really need. If the  man wanted to come in he was welcome to it. Seeing as how he was apparently  in-charge of  the building anyways.Upon  further inspection his bed was also a little bit messed up but that was just from sitting on it. 

Jake was messy, but he was only  freshman messy. He hadn't  quite upgraded to staining the carpet with mysterious juices or painting the walls in  fake blood for a prank. Jake hadn't even taken the time to pin up his plethora of movie posters yet.Jake shoved his hand into his pockets.

Jake had been asked the question of  "what do you want to be  when you grow up?" enough times to know that  he didn't have a clear answer. The task of how to tackle the situation always daunted him somewhat. " Someone who travels a lot  probably sounds like the best possible outcome for me. It's at least a dream ideal. I'd eventually love to get to see every continent." Jake sighed. If only." I'm sure it wouldn't surprise you none to know that i know very little about the secular world. But it's nice that you'd be allowed to marry if that was your path. Everyone should have the choice. "

Kankri ==> Completely lose track of time

  “It’s possible. What would you like to do?” Kankri really was getting used to this. Not a lot of people really talked to him, growing up. It felt nice. “It isn’t much of an issue to me, everyone back home knows the story, I’m used to it being public knowledge. He is my actual father, I was conceived and he married before he entered the church. Marriage is allowed for Nazareth priests preinduction, but most that wish to marry become pastors.”

" Well uh. Clearly my room is in a little bit of a state right now but i was going to rectify the situation later in the evening sir, i assure you." Jake cleared up his expression a little bit, looking a little less shocked and a little bit more friendly. " I am sorry for the state its in right now. I hadn't a clue that you were coming round. In this place you'd think they'd have a hall  crier to alert us all of these situations. "

Jake straightened up his  tie and  thought he might look at least  half decent before asking. " Is all you do here watch out after the dorms? Or, what classes do you  teach? You seem a rather built gentleman, would you  teach gym maybe? " Jake wasn't exactly smooth at interacting with staff. He was more of an anxious trainwreck.

" Well hey, the only difference between the two is one is likely over the age of twenty. I  wouldn't  wholeheartedly mind  having either at my side." Jake glanced back to aranea with a light chuckle and finally rounded the corner to the section of his choosing. "This place is so nice and open right now. They should always only let in two people at a time."

"Maybe they  think i want to be a doctor or something. My  biology marks were reasonably high. Then again my grandmother had me start that course pretty  young."Jake shrugged his shoulders. He could care less why it was that the school had accepted him, but he supposed if that gamzee kid could be accepted anyone could. " So since your father  himself is a "father", then you wouldn't actually be his biological son? Sorry if the  question is a little bit personal. Unless your mother had you and then he became a priest. Do nazareth's allow their priests to marry?"

" Well that's a damn  shame. I have  quite the appreciation for quirky haircuts. Actually i think it's just quirky people in general that i like. It's the quiet ones that  have the  most to say in private." Jake looked back down at tavros with a small smile.

" I honestly  despise this place for dress code. I've never been the kind of man to take conformity too  well. It  just  reminds me of the red army  and all that. You know, stalin? Communism?  But i might be getting ahead of myself there. It's just a school, not some secret government installation where they turn us into  little soviet spies. We're too far out of the cold war for that."

Jake was  letting his imagination get the better of him on that. New places did  give him  light  paranoia. He shook his head at the thought and gave a small laugh. " Perhaps  i have been watching too many movies. What do you think of this place over all?"

Jake ==> Explore Film Selection

Well things  were looking dull for boy english and that was a thing he could simply not stand to bare. It was right around high noon when the chestnut haired desperado moseyed on  down the staircase and into the underclass  dormitory  hall for a second time. He'd already  made himself a  couple of interesting  chums from his lower classes and he figured it was right around that time when he got to tying himself down in the younger community  as a name to be reckoned with.  But first, he would have to see how good the selection of movies  was down in their  lounge.

With  jakes  height it was easy enough for him to blend in amongst the younger  years attending and he slipped over to the case entirely like a ghost, undetectable to the naked eye. He thought  he was far too clever for being  shorter than average in this moment,  even though he knew he would come to regret his height in years to come. Things usually ran that way.

His trek was  half complete.  Jake came to a stop in front of a  wobbly  white bookshelf labeled in bold old english microsoft word font "Underclassmen Approved Films". This of course was  code for everything the upperclassmen didn't want to watch and had tossed down the steps in an attempt to discard the  films forever.

There was an arrangement of  dvds and vhs tapes,  with  the two largest sections of films consisting of educational documentaries and chick flicks. Jake  was no more  horrified than anyone  might be if they saw a videotape of their own  murder being played out in front of them, and began to mumble to himself. " These  poor bastards- how can this happen to them? What ghastly things did they  do in their  past lives to deserve this hell?"

[jacobenglishschooled-blog]

Jake  was sitting on his bed with his tie undone crouched over his laptop. His room  could  still be described as  somewhat of a mess, but it was mainly just scattered clean  clothes over the floor that he'd put off cleaning up until later on.

When jake heard the  knock at his door  he responded with a kind of unhappy groan, thinking that  whoever it was that was knocking was just trying to distract him from his personal lord of the rings marathon.

When jake pulled open the door in his slobby state he did not expect there to be  a towering member of staff waiting directly outside for him and he gawked forward like a deer in the headlights.Jake shook himself out of his shock and  quickly  tucked the tails of his shirt in to the waist of his  shorts messily. He was  certain that he was still in trouble for the clock tower incident. What  was this guy  going to do. "Hello,  sir. What can i do for you??"

Fenrir ==> Give the dorms a surprise check

Despite it not being scheduled, Fenrir strode towards the dorms for ‘surprise’ check. Well if the students knew an inspection was coming up they’d hide or tidy up whatever mess they’d made or damage they’d done, wouldn’t they? Best to surprise them every now and then.

Plus it was probably a good way to meet a few of the students, and get to know a few names and faces. Also so he didn’t remain a complete stranger and mystery around the school.

After entering the dormitory, he climbed the stairs up to the second floor. Card in hand he started on the outside wall, knocking twice on each door to make sure he didn’t just barge in on a student (doing so would probably cost him his job). He planned to inspect all the dorms, hoping these student wouldn’t be too wary of him.

Jake  came  upon a corner nearer to the fiction section. It was closer to  the books but not quite. Jake didn't  know his way around the library hardly at all. "Hulk comics i think. Or, spiderwoman if they have them at all. Hell, i'd go for garfeild at this point."

Jake  watched with slight confusion as dirk jotted down something of a note on him. He was only  making casual conversation but apparently a nut allergy was something worth noting. " Well, no. But i get migraines sometimes. I have a metal plate in my skull from when i cracked my skull falling out of a tree and all that. That's  apparently supposed to be a weakness of mine. But i haven't had a problem yet!" Jake had tit  his head countless times on things over  the years. Half the time it wasn't even notable to him. It was only ever a problem in airport security. Jake had a bad habit of throwing caution to the wind, despite the wiser teaching of his grandmother. " As  for the pen, it's in my  dorm. In my backpack i think. But  i'm not in any danger unless i actually eat one of them. And i don't plan on eating just right now so i don't have it obviously. You can eat peanuts in your room. I don't  care, just don't touch me with them. "

Jake English / Dirk Strider ==> Sort out differences

Because it will not be sufficient to me. I’m not being mean, I’m just being realistic. It’s a waste of effort for us both to clean the bathroom. I’d rather take care of it because that is what I’ve always done.” He shrugged, eyes going a bit wider a he wrote down the information. ” of course I can do that. I won’t have any in my dorms either, simply because it may go through the vents. Are there any other allergies I should be aware of? Do you have an epipen, and if so, where?” He asked. He would be the best person to care for him in case of an emergency.

Jake chuckled happily and hugged the girl tightly right back,going as far as to wrap her in his arms and spin her around with little  regard for the other students who might be trying to get past the hallway reunion.Jade hadn't seemed to change a bit! Not even height wise. He would  have said being on the short side was a family  trait, if  it weren't for the fact he was adopted. 

Jake set  jade down and allowed her to cuddle him all that she liked. The affection was happily sought after in a place  full of strangers. Hell, he bet  jade was  taking  the whole new school thing perhaps worse than even he was. And he was a bundle of frayed nerves. In response to jades  hugging  jake patted  the girls back, sort  of acting as a physical sign of encouragement and to let her know hugging was beyond welcome.

" Well you know- we're here so clearly i could be doing a whole lot better! They're alright here  though i wouldn't recommend speaking to any of the prefects on a personal basis. they're pretty much a bunch of the limpest noodles i've ever had the misfortune of conversing with!" Jake  laughed  a little and pulled out of the hug to look jade in the eyes. " I'm terribly sorry i couldn't  have met with you sooner- we should  trade texts or cellphone digits or something like that. I could have come to get your bags for you!"

She blinked once, twice before she was able to pinpoint where the sound of her name was coming from. A look to her left and a look to her right would assure the small girl that nobody waiting around the counselor’s office had called her name and surely nobody in the office would be able to bellow out her name in quite the same manner. So it was only when Jade finally looked a couple of paces in front of herself that she caught sight of a familiar young fellow waving his arms above his head in an earnest effort to get her attention.

“Jake!!” Jade chimed back just as eagerly, a grand grin nearly splitting her face in two as she bounded off to gather him up in her much smaller arms. Gosh, she hadn’t seem this young man in years! Was this even Jake? Jade had been told he would be attending as well and was actually looking forward to seeing him again more than anything else in the world. It was literally just about the only positive she saw in coming here, but she hadn’t taken the time to affirm the boy she was currently cuddling was actually her cousin. But he knew her, apparently, and Jade had met no one else at this school so far, so what would the chances against her be that this actually wasn’t Jake? Oh, what did it even matter? “Jake! I’m so happy you’re here!! You’re literally the first person I’ve met so far!” Jade admitted, unashamed, cuddling him closer if at all possible if he would allow her. “How have you been?!”

Luckily for the sake of the fragile  friendship jake was more awed by gamzees quick reaction to take his wrist than anything else. He couldn't piece together why gamzee  had reacted that  way when he was so slow and so very careful. The quickness of the act  stunned him a little as he moved back into a  sitting position next to the clown. 

Jake was none the  wiser to the dangers that clouded gamzees head when it wasn't  misted in THC. Even if there had been signs or a hint of something wrong  he may have as well had a paper bag  over his head. Jake english  was probably the worst person on earth at reading other people. And this had accounted for many a lost girlfriend in the past.

 Sitting back down on his butt,  jake looked around himself with a straight awed face, somewhat fading in and out of gamzees  random mutterings. His hand rubbed his wrist where the taller boys hand had been in slight memory of it  and  he laid back down to look at the clouds.

The moment had  passed. Jake was too distracted to ask for an apology. There was nothing to apologise  for. His world was an axis around the sensation of being  weightless. A ladybug  crawled up onto jakes stomach and he watched its little face as it  explored the alien surface of white cotton.

Jake  laughed a little  bit at his mistake, pinching his nose bridge in embarrassment. Pull it together  jacob, you're giving a poor impression of yourself." God  i am dense. Sorry to you again on that point. But, yes. A priest you say? Might i ask of what religion? I'm sure you'll test just fine. You seem like a very educated individual. Me on the other hand, i may have some gaps."

Kankri ==> Completely lose track of time

Whoops. Another miscommunication there. “Not that kind of father. A priest. I’d sort of like to be a traveling missionary, like my dad is right now. Perhaps even travel with him.” Kankri shrugged, running a hand through his dark brown hair. “These things just interest me. And I like to think that my grades are good, however I’ve never actually been subjected to the standardized grading system before. I will have to wait and see, I suppose.”

Jake ==> Reunite With Distant Cousin

Jake  gave a lowly sigh as  he committed his time to patrolling the dormitories hallways for lack of better  entertainment. It had been a busy three days  for him so far, but he couldn't say he wasn't happy with the more enlightening results. He had an arrangement of chums, and no real enemies so far. He sincerely hoped it would  stay that way. Were he to get bullied his  violent side would  flare up and that was no good for anyone. 

Jake scanned the halls of the underclass dorm looking for a student he had  perhaps spoken to beforehand in order to ask them if they wanted to enjoy a healthy brunch with him. But as he waded through the droves of students, only one girl  really stood out. A person, that he was certain he actually  knew! God blessed it really was her! He could tell by her  eyes!

His face lit up and he audibly gasped out with encouragement. He'd been told  she would be attending  but he  hadn't  met her sense they were both only ten years old or so. This was his chance for second impressions. Jake raised his hands up over his head and waved his arms in the gals direction to grab her attention. " JADE!! Jaaaaaadee!!! JADE!!"
