Ghys and her niece move to Beacon Hills
Permalink

Jackson has been acting a little weird lately.

Danny had expected the breakup with Lydia to cause some tension. If nothing else, it was up to Danny to handle future study sessions with them.

The desperate, naked ambition in Jackson's eyes wasn't new, either. It just seemed more fulfilled than usual. Danny thought he should be happy, but he was mostly worried.

Insecure Jackson was dangerous, but secure Jackson might be worse.

Besides that, though, it was a fairly normal day in Beacon Hills.

Easy classes, team practice, and the cute photographer...Danny couldn't complain.

Oh, she will.

Beacon Hills tends to collect interesting people, and this one doesn't look like she'll break their recent streak. 

Students engage in various after-school activities, some sponsored and some not. 

Permalink

Well, are any of these after-school activities advertised to newcomers?

Permalink

Nooot really, but if she sticks around after she returns from gym she'll spot Danny. 

He has been helpful so far.

"Hi!" she says. "What's your opinion on chocolate truffles?"

Permalink

"They sound delicious. How was your second day?"

Permalink

"Pretty good! My plan to befriend the entire population of Beacon Hills proceeds apace."

Permalink

"That sounds like a really unnecessary challenge to give yourself your first week, but if you're into that sort of thing, sure. Have you looked into the clubs here yet?"

Permalink

"I have not. Do tell!"

Permalink

"Unfortunately, despite Allison's one-track mind, we don't have an archery club. We do have art, film, chess, debate, a few service organizations...fencing, woodworking, photography...tea club, uh, League of Legends...there's probably more."

Permalink

"You have a tea club? That's adorable."

Permalink

"I guess it is. They sample different teas, mostly. Not very interesting. Oh, we have a cooking club and an anime club, too." 

Permalink

"I'll have to check some of these out. Fencing sounds like fun. Which ones are you in?"

Permalink

"Amnesty International and the photography club. I use most of free time for coding and hanging out with friends, really." 

Permalink

"Valid life choices."

Permalink

"If you did want to sign up, I can show you who to talk to. Most clubs have already gotten going so they're not actively looking for new people, but no one will turn you away."

Permalink

"Good to know."

Permalink

"I can take you to the fencing club right now, or I can let you go home and relax after a grueling day of studying."

Permalink

"Fencing club it is."

Permalink

And here's fencing club! Danny isn't actually a member, so he sees himself out, with a quick goodbye. 

Permalink

Allison is, but she hangs back while the faculty supervisor approaches Solvei.

"Hello. It's nice to see a fresh face around here. Were you here to observe us today, or wanting to join in?" 

Permalink

"Hi! More with the observing, I think. I've taken fencing lessons before, but it's been a while. Wouldn't want to embarrass myself."

Permalink

"We're happy to have you anyway," she says, and the fencing continues.

There is some instruction for the less experienced, but it mostly seems to be a way to unwind and keep their technique sharp. 

Permalink

Allison has clearly been practicing for years. 

Permalink

Clearly. That's interesting. Solvei spectates.

Permalink

In between bouts, she beams at Solvei and winks. 

She trounces her next opponent. 

Her body seems more tightly controlled in its movements than most of the others, which happened when she held a bow, too.
