Mask on his face, finally in a suit. Tonight was starting out great, but Colin knew better. He had been to events before during his first time here and there was always some catch. Yet so far everything seemed very normal, which was nice. “Thank you.” He said as his drink was handed to him. Spiked Cider, can’t go wrong with that at least he thought to himself, taking several sips from his glass as he moved around the room.

The drink made him feel warm.

Too warm.

Every sip making him warmer.

Colin bit his lip, trying to focus as he looked down his body which seemed to be reacting. The fabric of his pants seemingly tightening upon looking around at all these glorious people around. Unsure what was happening to him but he seemed to have only one thing on his mind right now as he headed to grab another drink, hoping it would ease his mind, and right now his body.

Qhuinn bit her lip as she made her way into the ballroom. She always felt self-conscious at these kinds of things. Both because some shit always managed to go down, and because she tended to pick dresses that would inevitably make her uncomfortable. Tonight was going to be no different, she could already tell. The black lace that had made her feel sexy when she tried it on now just looked like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Blowing out a breath, she nervously smoothed her long skirts and made her way to the bar. A little drink to calm her nerves, and she would find Jason or Quinten or some other close friends to talk to. 

Whiskey in hand, she found an empty seat and took a slow sip, followed by another. As an odd feeling came over her, Qhuinn shook her head and regarded the crowd again as she blinked back tears. What a fool she had been this past year and a half, pushing away love and being so scared. Now, she couldn’t imagine why she had felt that way, and suddenly wanted to tell everyone that she knew how much she loved them. 

Standing so quickly that she nearly stumbled on her skirts, Qhuinn headed into the crowd and stopped at the first person that caught her attention. “Colin...” She smiled, blushing softly as she looked him over. “You look...so amazing.. Would you dance with me?”

Only a fool would make the same mistake twice, but did that count when one didn’t remember the first mistake much? It changed when he arrived, his memories of being here before flooding back as soon as the collar was slipped around his neck, it had his head spinning. Back home he knew he had attended here before, remembering the classes, teachers, old friends, however if someone would ask about how the dorms were, he wouldn’t have an answer, that’s where things were blurry. The devil is in the details some would say, and that’s where he just had trouble remembering. Colin held his head while faces, names, places, memories of species came back one by one just by being in the cell. For two years he had forgotten all about there being more than just humanity in the world. Two blissful years, but he’d make the best of it again, that much he decided as he unpacked his things quite quickly and stepped back out of the cell, making eye contact with one of the guards. “Got my one hour out.” He mumbled with a chuckle, still quite in disbelief. It was almost comical to him as he looked at the grumpy looking face of the guard. “Awe, don’t tell me you missed me.” He remarked cheekily as he turned, seeing some paper on the floor, picking it up and moving the the back of the nearest person. “Excuse me? I think you may have dropped this?”

Grace was very pleased with her Christmas present for Keith this year. She had outdone herself, she had to admit, but she couldn’t resist when she had heard it through the grapevine that he wished to return to New York. Christmastime in the city had always been a favorite of hers, and she could not wait to experience it with her beloved progeny once again. Plus it would give her time to check on her shop on Fifth Avenue, and perhaps take in an auction or two as well. That was a thrill that she had missed, it was not nearly as much fun online. Before they left though she did need to do a bit of shopping, and that was what she was heading to town for today. Tiffany would certainly have some new lovely things in her shop for the holidays. Grace was making a mental list of what she needed as she strolled along, when the breeze shifted and a scent that she thought she would never catch again had her turning as her violet eyes widened. “No that is not mine. But it does look as if something has been returned to me” she teased, her steps measured as she approached him. “My Colin..it has been far too long. You are as lovely as ever” she smiled.

It seemed to be the most casual talk while they were clearly touching each other in ways that weren’t very casual in the middle of a dance floor. Not that he could help it and it seemed that she couldn’t either. His hands slid easily over her body while she kissed his neck, which made him bite his lip for a moment, wondering if she’d feel his arousal through his pants against her leg. “I had a good Christmas, spent it watching movies with Blanca so was nice. How was yours? Was it good to be home?” He mused before tilting his head forward to give her earlobe a light bite.

She moaned softly as his hands ran over her body, her mind was clouding with lust and she was trying hard to pay attention to what he was saying. “ That sounds like fun.” She said as she dragging her hand over his body, before cupping him lightly. “ It was fun, nice to see my mother and sisters, but you know what would be more fun?” She said with a moan as he bit her earlobe. “ Going somewhere more private to have some fun.” She said kissing him. “ Or we can do it right here, I didn’t really care.” She said

“Woah! Easy on the goods.” A chuckle sounded as he got patted down and was told about the latest rules upon arrival, being given the usual welcome package along with a collar getting secured around his neck. Colin held his hand to his head, just like upon his previous return a headache was coming on as memories returned to him. “Right, I remember this.” He mused as they took his phone and handed him a different one.

Browsing through contacts, he smiled seeing some very familiar names while he walked out of the office. Though it had been years, there were still quite a few people he knew. It was so damn good to be back, he thought to himself, his previous time here had been a blast and he would be sure to make this time just as great. Inhaling a deep breath of fresh air, he went right in the direction of the cells to drop off the very few items he carried, a smile on his face when he wanted to leave the area again and saw someone just leaving as well so he held the door open for them before even having a good look at them. “After you.” He said with a slight gesture from his hand and a nod.

As much as she hated to admit it, it was still a pretty rare occasion to see Qhuinn in the cells. Especially after one of the island’s particular brands of forced fuckery. Not all had been unlucky though and had had a good rental week it seemed, and it was their content if not also reluctant emotions that she latched onto. It did help, making things easier as she made her rounds to check in on anyone who needed medical attention and dropped off her usual little care packages for friends. Soon though, one emotion in particular, one very familiar and optimistic one rose above the rest. And the wolf couldn’t help herself when she saw it was indeed who she thought.

A brunette blur zoomed past the cells and into the arms of the handsome grant student. Qhuinn held on tight, taking in his familiar scent and basking in the glow of that bright aura that Colin always emitted. Until she realized she was likely making quite the spectacle of herself, and him. “Hi” She giggled, as she finally pulled back enough to get a good look at him. Just as scrumptious as always..

New arrivals didn’t exactly show up with heraldry and announcements when it came to the cells, at least not in the shapeshifter’s experience.  It was up to current inhabitants to recognize or not recognize the additions to their space, unless it was their bunks that were being moved into.  Isabel spent enough time in the basement that she was familiar enough with the faces that also sported a collar, so when the male held the door open for her, it was fairly clear.  “Thank you,” she offered with a gentle smile, sliding through the exit and sticking her hands in her dress pockets for a moment before opting to continue further.  “You’re ... well, I don’t recognize you, you must be new?  Did you need help finding your way around?  Or to somewhere in particular?” came the offer, the slave worrying at her bottom lip for a moment.  She had a shift at the cat cafe that she was heading out to, but she was early enough that she could take some time to help if he needed it.  “I’m um, I’m Isabel.  Isabel Hai Phan.  Welcome?”

Alfie had been riding around the island on his scooter, bringing flyers for his new restaurant around to drop off, advertising the grand opening party. He hoped it would be a good way to drum up some business, but also he wanted to get some people interested in hopefully working at either Canabliss, or at the Dispensary since he couldn’t be in both places at once. After dropping off flyers to most of the shops, he was going to hand some out in the cells, so over to the school he went. 

When he got there he parked his scooter, locked it on his phone and walked up to the doors, pausing when a guy he didn’t know held the door for him. “Oh hey, cheers,” he nodded to him. He looked the other over and then pulled a flyer off of the top of his stack. “Here, you new mate? Big party in a couple days at Canabliss, the island’s only THC restaurant.” he grinned. “Good way to get over that shock of wearing one of them,” he gestured to his own neck, indicating the collar the other was wearing. 

All the fun aside, studying needed to be done as well so Colin had mostly been doing that today at the cafeteria. At least classes for the day had been done and soon enough he done with all he had planned, only reading through things a little. His attention got caught when he heard footsteps draw near.  “Afternoon.” He said, taking a sip from his coffee. “If you want coffee, I’d say be fast, they must be running low by now with the amount I tend to consume.” He smirked playfully as he looked up from his papers. “Can I help you?”

Ciaran made a face as he took a swing from what he assumed was supposed to pass for coffee. The stuff tasted like it couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a solid or a liquid, and had settled on some awkward middle ground that had the consistency of sludge. And the taste wasn’t that far off either. Grimacing, he paused and pitched the cup into the nearest trash can, waiting a moment to make sure the thing didn’t reject it either. At the sound of a voice, he turned and gave the male who had spoken a light smile. “I dunno what that was, but coffee ain’t at the top of my list. A palate cleanser would be great, if ya got such a thing” he joked with a chuckle.
