The Realistic College AU Meme

You did it.

You made it through those last agonizing weeks of high school and now you are FREE, on the cusp of four awesome years of cozy coffee-shop crushes, inebriated makeouts, and crazy pranks. It's gonna be the best years of your life, kiddo, and you intend to make the most of it. It's going to be PERFECT.

... Almost.

Maybe.

Possibly.

Hopefully.

[Music major with a minor in languages for some reason. Ladies in her dorm, take note, she definitely sings in the shower. A lot.]

Edited 2014-10-07 02:49 (UTC)

[this isn't even the first time i've played college AU larx, bro]

[ Bigby is that one, long-standing criminology professor who can be often seen pouring a flask into his coffee, owns the shittiest car on the campus, and violently breaks up fights before security can get there. You can rely on him to protect you, unless you're the thing in his way. ]

[Ginko is not actually enrolled here; mostly he sits in on biology classes and tries to keep students from getting into too much trouble.]

Edited 2014-10-07 03:32 (UTC)

[Metalworking student, also a HUGE JERK. Claims to literally eat nails for breakfast, legitimately thinks he's a good singer (he's not).]

Edited 2014-10-07 16:17 (UTC)

[Very small, cheerful linguistics major. Arguably too nice for her own good.

Edited 2014-10-07 16:14 (UTC)

[Major in English with a minor in Art History, who is also on the fencing team and in a baking club?! Yeesh, how do you even have time for anything?]

[Hello fellow baking club member, the most HIGH STRUNG MALE MEMBER of the club is approaching. At 3am. Very clearly fuming.

And muttering death threats for someone he calls "the bastard" under his breath. Because his roommate is a jerk, and he's here to blow off some steam. But when he actually steps into the kitchen and sees her there... well. Gone is the metaphorical black cloud over his head and all he shows is surprise.]

Eh? [It's that person! Whom he cant recall the name of! In his baking club!]

_{[Heather doesn't like to thank 'God' for anything.]

[But she'll at least nod acknowledgingly in God's direction for the fact that on-campus sweetshops that are open until 2 AM exist.]

[Looking every bit like someone who has been awake for 72 hours working on an essay, Heather skulks into the cookie shop in search of one thing: those ridiculous indulgent caramel truffle things with the marshmallow cream in the middle. If they're wrong, she doesn't wanna be right.]

[.... Wait.]

[Wait is that... shit it's that girl who's been on shift literally every time she comes in for those things. DAMMIT.]

[ENGAGING STEALTH MODE.]

[Heather straightens up, ceases her approach to the Caramarshmallow Truffle Delight display, and pretends to be looking at some candy corn. Unconvincingly.]}

_{[Yeah, you... know that unspoken, possibly-made-up rule that says if you get to class before the professor does, you're not technically late?]

[Well, guess who just made eye contact with Bigby at the base of the stairwell three floors below the designated classroom?]

[... The kid who is now sprinting full-tilt up said stairs.]}

[Art requirements are legitimately the worst. Ten minutes of an art history class had had him switching AS FAST AS HE POSSIBLY COULD to something...well, a little more his style. For a chemistry/engineering student, sculpture kind of sounds like the best thing for everyone.

Except in this case, it is probably not the best thing for everyone.

On the lawn in front of the art building, it's hard to miss the ten foot gargoyle sculpture that seems to have been constructed overnight. It's covered in spikes and painted red and black and generally looks kind of menacing in a tacky 80s heavy metal sort of way...

...And it's actually breathing fire.

There's a blond kid on the lawn admiring it, arms crossed. Every so often he opens a hatch in the back to tinker with a few wires and pipes. Just making sure everything is working.

Oh yeah. He's so getting an A.]

[Does Ed look Not Happy enough for you? Because if there was one person he didn't want to partner up with in this seriously important to his major(!!!!!) class, it's you.

And yet, we are the last two people in class without partners.

... ... ... This might actually be the worst.]

[..........WHY IS SOMEONE ELSE IN THE CLUB ROOM AT THIS HOUR? ~~Never mind that SHE is here, too, sleeping is for the weak!!~~ The smell coming from the oven is pretty awesome, though. Is that...orange and chocolate? Why yes. Yes it is. She pulls the oven door open just to check, and when she stands up again...she jumps. The oven door slams shut. She was so not expecting company.]

Ack--! [\o_O/] Wh...what the heck are you doing here??

[The best and worst thing in the universe is sharing a class with your roommate. Because on the one hand, it's great being able to share notes and study together and things like that. But on the other hand, when you're feeling lazy...you can really be an enabler.

It's twenty minutes before class, and after she's gotten herself all ready, she frowns, looking at Heather.]

Ah, jeez. I just...don't feel like going to class. What about you?

[QUICK GLANCE OUT THE WINDOW FOR JUSTIFICATION...]

It's such a nice day, too! Wanna go downtown?

[Best student ever.]

[Amazingly, Gajeel almost manages to walk right past the thing without noticing it - which probably has to do with the fact that he just barely managed to drag himself out of bed twenty minutes ago. Why is he even taking a morning class, he doesn't want to be conscious right now.

(It's probably not even that early, Gajeel is just a loser who can't function before noon.)

Then he does notice it, because not even he is quite capable of completely ignoring that. Unfortunately, though, rather than responding with the horror and confusion appropriate to that thing, he grins and stands back to look over it appreciatively.]

Hey, nice!

[What of course Miko is paying attention, she's always paying attention at work. Obviously she's not texting.

No okay she was totally texting, she hates this shift. When someone walks in, she shoves her phone in her pocket... then realizes it's not a teacher or anything, it's That One Girl. Okay never mind, phone is back out.

She does glance up at her with a raised eyebrow when she heads in an unexpected direction.]

Cookies are in the same place as always, dude.

[YOU WILL LITERALLY BE SHITTING PAMPHLETS BY THE TIME THIS ANGRY SOCIAL JUSTICE JOCK IS DONE WITH YOU] [or any other scenario I SUPPOSE]

[Followed by less angry, social justice nerd. Double majoring in sociology and history. Has a blog.]

Edited 2014-10-07 14:19 (UTC)

[Hey, mornings are only bad if you actually go to sleep. Which Ed has not. It takes a while to rig up pyrotechnics like these, okay?

Ed's currently face-first in the hatch, fiddling with some hook-up or something. He jumps when he hears a voice, and you hear in this order: "Ack! (thunk!) Damn it--!" Followed by an angry string of mutterings. He pokes his head out again, looking every inch the young kid that he is, currently only 17. He glowers for a moment (you may get the impression that he's used to people not taking him seriously)...but when he gets the idea he's not being made fun of, he grins.]

Thanks. Figured I should go all out for midterms.
