((McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, is a real university... It has Gothic architecture... You can look up more about it on the web. However, as I have not visited, I do not know the campus in and out and I am allowing a certain amount of flexibility in the way of layout.))

The clouds roiled overhead as students hurried from class to class at the McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It threatened to be a very bad day, indeed, with winter fast approaching.

Fay wondered why she had decided to not only go to another country but one that had loads of snow during the dark half of the year... and on top of that, she was not very good at French. Bundled in her parka and insulated thoroughly in silk leggings under her jeans, she remembered why... Scholarship. This was a huge opportunity for her. An ability to go to not only a prestigious school... but to another country. Her entire life, she had lived in the United States, below the Mason Dixion Line. This was her chance...

And with that, the Mississippi girl tromped to find a quiet room to not only get warm, but to get some studying in.

Zach sat with his back pressed against the cold stone wall, jamming to his tunes as the sky lowered outside the window. He was in one of the study rooms on campus, reading the material he had to read for his literature class. Unfortunately, he was not a very good reader, so he was accomplishing little. And he really didn't care. Nearby him was a large armiore, carved and immense... He didn't pay much attention to it as it was only used to store coats of those that came in here and was otherwise very rarely used.

[Belle]

Marie, or fairy as most people called her, smiled as she walked through the snow, she had grown up around the cold she lived in the United States before she came here but had been raised by the border in Michigan she walked into one of the study rooms her bag over one shoulder as she realized that she had walked into the same room Zach was in, she simply walked over to the armiore and smiled as she traced the carvings before opening it and reaching up to try and grab a hanger for her coat,the bar for where it was hanging was unusually high, she stepped into it hoping to reach it but instead tripped and fell through what would have been the back but instead hit snow. "oh so cold!" she said her voice musical

Alex sighed as he walked through the snow, he grew up in the surrounding area and wished the snow would stop he walked over to where the study rooms were hoping to get in some studying before his next test.

[Shenandoah]

Zach looked up when a girl from his class... Marie he thought she was called... tried and failed to hang her coat to topple into the armoire. He stood, closing his book and laying it down next to his bag before pausing to conisider. He was ready to go, so he instead bagged it and lifted the entire parcel onto his shoulder. He walked over to the cabinet to find a pair of shoes connected to obviously feminine calves poking out of the darkness of the back of the armoire.

"You okay?" he asked, confused. That armoire did not go back that far, he was certain.

Fay entered the building, falling into step next to another college student. "Hey," she said in passing to him, though she didn't know him. It was courtesy and the South rolled off her tongue as she spoke and she hoped he wasn't either exclusively French speaking or a francophone. She dealt poorly with a French accent, which is what she had discovered during her time here. When it became obvious that they weren't parting ways, she wondered if he'd branch off or they'd wind up at the same room together.

[Belle]

Marie getting an idea in her head quickly packed a snowball and threw it back outside the armoire "there's snow in here" she said getting up and walking deeper into it smiling as she felt trees "you have to come in here and see what I'm talking about!" she called out continuing to walk in

Alex looked at Fay a smile on his face "hey" he said only having a small french accent "you're Fay aren't you?" he asked her he had noticed her in a few of her classes but had not really wanted to talk, he kept to other guys and didn't really talk to girls that much

[Shenandoah]

Zach sputtered as the snowball that had collided with his face fell away. "What the hell?" He reflexively stepped up into the armoire to get to her and was increasingly shocked by the depth. "How did snow get in here?"

"Morgan, actually... But everyone calls me Fay. And you are?" At that point, she had stopped by the entry of the study room she had decided to use. Opening the door, she had the instant impression of someone vanishing into the large wardrobe in the room. "Huh?" she said eloquently, surprised, not immediately noticing the slowly melting snow that was forming a slick puddle before the large carved piece of furniture.

[Belle]

Marie laughed as she ran around the clearing at the end of the trees a smile on her face "see? it's really big!" she said smiling she was as energetic and as happy as a little girl would be

Alex smiled "nice to meet you Morgan Le Fay" he said "I am Alexander the great, but i like Alex better" he added before looking at the snow melting in front of the armoire before realizing he was hearing laughing coming from inside it "shall we explore?" he asked raising an eyebrow and before she had time to answer he walked over to it and spread the coats out as he walked in before chuckling "Fay you have got to see this!" he called out walking deeper into it

[Shenandoah]

Zach walked further into what seemed like a forest as he progressed. "Holy shit..." he breathed, the air before his mouth steaming from the cold. He heard her laughing and turned to her. "This is incredible!" he chuckled. "No one is going to believe this!"

Morgan hurried to catch up, knowing that there couldn't possibly be room inside the wardrobe. However, she saw nobody directly inside. Her curiosity intensified and though her mind screamed to ere on the side of caution, she took the plunge and levered herself up into the cabinet. Pushing past the coats, she tripped over her own two feet and was sent sprawling into the back of Alex. "Ooph!"

[Belle]

Marie smirked bending down and making a snowball before hurling it straight at Zach "i think i know what I'm writing about for my writing final" she said smiling before turning and glaring at Alex as she heard him she quickly made a snowball ready to throw it at him

Alex feeling Morgan rin into his back chuckled "you okay back there?" he asked before reaching the opening where Zach and Marie already were "Fairy knock off your flying around" he called out to Marie who turned and glared at him Alex turned to Morgan "well what do you think?" he asked

[Shenandoah]

Morgan, after having clambered up into the wardrobe, gaped. "Impossible."

"I know, right? This place..." sighed Zach, having pulled the headphones away from his ears to further oggle the spectacle as he looked up. Trees... pines... towering overhead. He turned and looked about some more before spotting something. "Is that a light?" he asked.

Fay turned, hearing the query. She scanned the forest in the direction he was facing. "Looks like it. But shouldn't we go back? I think the administrative staff will have a field day about the winter wonderland in their halls."

[Belle]

"no! common don't you want to explore this place? god where have i seen this before?" she muttered the last part looking at the light post

Alex looked at the lightpost a frown on his face "who were has read about Narnia?" he asked seeing Marie raise her head he nodded "that's why it looks familiar Fairy" he said before looking at Morgan, "why not just enjoy your time here for now, i mean look around it's winter now but don't you want the thrill of adventure?" he asked

[Shenandoah]

"I haven't," muttered Fay, knowing that she had tried and failed to read the books. They just hadn't held her attention very well. "And all my thrill was lost when I realized I had to learn more French in order to live around here..." She paused, then winced. "I mean wherever Montreal is now. Boy am I glad I hadn't shucked my jacket yet."

Zach was somewhat bemused. "What was Narnia about?" He shrugged his own jacket on, the cold finally getting to him. "And what do we do now?"

((I thought we were going about the way of it's all 'new'?))

[Belle]

((meh, it can change.....but the books can be around still (; ))
Marie shrugged and simply twirled around in the snow "i didn't really pay attention to anything besides the beginning, it was read to me when i was little" she said

Alex chuckled "don't you mean littler?" he asked Marie before looking around

Marie turned and glared at Alex "you know what i mean" she said her arms crossed over her chest

[Shenandoah]

((Okay.))

"I take it y'know each other?" drawled Fay, crossing her arms over her chest as she walked towards the strange lamp in the middle of the forest. Coming within three feet, she looked up at the tiny flame at the top. "This thing's strange," she noted. "If we're in a book, does that mean you know what comes next, Alex?"

Zach was busy looking back to where they had entered this strange world. "I can't really see the way back from here..."

Further words were intterupted from happening when the sound of muffled footsteps were heard. They were coming louder with each passing moment and Fay looked about to find the source as did Zach.

((We can do other characters as they come... both of us... So, for instance, we both can play Mr. Tumnus.))

[Belle]

both of them shook their heads "we're going for different majors but the classes we do share we always sit next to one another, so I tease her from time to time" Alex explained before hearing the footsteps as well, he froze trying to remember who came first not remembering anything

Marie simply nodded at what Alex said "it's true, they think if they put the Fairy and the giant together they might try and make friends of the other" she said making a face before hearing the footsteps as well she frowned trying to figure out who was there before a smile appeared on her face as she saw red, she actually looked quite beautiful when she smiled but she often scared away the boys because of her temper from being teased of her height
