WHO: Kaz, Derrica, Laura, and Tavin
WHAT: Four bright-eyed, bushy-tailed youngsters go to Nevarra's preeminent university in search of knowledge. And state secrets.
WHEN: Mid-to-late Kingsway
WHERE: University of Markham, Nevarra
NOTES: OOC deets for 21 Jump Street are here.

PART ONE


Combination salon + rager, with room for arguing over Great Issues of the Day and also getting crunk.

This is not their best work.

PART TWO


This, on the other hand? They're pretty good at.

Derrica and Tavin distract admin while Kaz and Laura get in and out of the Dean's office with all the records they aren't supposed to have.

The sigh, he feels, is certainly warranted. Not his reaction but he can understand it, how put out she must be at the possibility that this will go for much longer than anticipated. Just another strike against the merchers and their general uselessness.

“I wouldn’t count on it.” Maybe that’s pessimistic. Ok no, it definitely is. “It’ll be social climbing and people trying to get leverage while pretending that isn’t what they’re doing.”

“Either Tavin is having a good time or he’s very good at hiding how miserable he is.” He can’t decide which would be worse.

"I don't know him well enough to judge," Derrica admits. Her baseline impression of Tavin has been "edgy" so far. It isn't very helpful in judging his impression of anything, especially not in unfamiliar company.

"Kaz, I don't think we're getting anywhere with this," she adds, which is a swerve into more serious territory. "What if the party is like this too?"

There's always a chance this gathering moves away from intellectual snippishness to helpful gossip, but Derrica doubts it. So far, all the dick measuring has been around who knows which esoteric fact.

"Most people fall into one category or another." He too, doesn't know Tavin very well. But he does know people either thrive in situations like this or want to leave immediately. Himself, for example, tends not to like this type of thing.

"Then we find another way to get information." There's always a way. Just not all of them are neat or nice. And not all of them leave clean trails. "Apply enough pressure and people break eventually."
