The Library
Free Roam Event. Alex Arrives at Library. (brief tutorial on free roams) 

Alex Narration: 
Right, I need to check out the books I need for my classes. First stop Librarian!

Approaching the Librarian.

Librarian: 
Hello, can I help you.

Alex: 
Yeah, I need to pick up some books for my courses.

Librarian: 
Of Course, Student Card.

(Alex hands over student card)

Librarian: 
Okay, give me a second. Hmmmm, right First Year classes (and Graphic Design).
You'll find the books on these shelves. (Hands Alex a Print out) Remember to keep noise to a minimum so as not to distract other students and no taking phone calls.

Alex: 
Yes of course, thankyou.
(Hmmm, looks like I need to find 4(5) books.)

Introduction to Sammy. 

(Approach Section Sammy is standing in way of the book you need.)
(Further in background is Rival)

Trying to click on book 
Alex Narration: 
Hmmm, I need to ask that Girl to move out the way.

Clicking on Sammy 
Alex:
Excuse me, Hi there... I'm trying to reach that Book. (damn she has a pair)

Girl:
Hmm, oh sorry. (Looks Alex up and down.) Which Book are you after?

Alex: 
Ummm, English 101 and 102

Girl: 
Freshman? mmmm, that explains why I've not see 'You' around here before. Kinda wish I could retake English.

Alex: 
How'd you know I was a Freshman?

Girl: 
You asked for First Year books tesoro (touches his shirt)

Alex: 
(is she into me?) Right, right of course. 
Well if I could just get to them.

Girl: 
Oh, sure, 102 is up there (points up pushing elbows back/boobs forward)
aaaand... 101 is down here, I'll get that for you.

Alex: 
(Damn this girl is forward) Thanks?

Girl: 
Oh no problem tesoro. (Squats to pick out book, showing maximum cleavage)

Alex Narration: 
choice: Look/Don't Look. 
(look: can't help it... they're just there.)
(don't look: Be good, don't be a perve, don't be a perve)

(Alex gets the English 102 Book. Sammy gets the 101 Book and stands)

Girl: 
So, Freshman. I guess that means you'll be in the Math Classes as well?

Alex: 
Yeah, yeah I gotta do Math.

Girl: 
Oh goodie, that means I get to see more of (looks you up and down) you.

Alex: 
Yeah, maybe. I gotta go. (Now she's making me feel awkward with this eye fucking)

Girl: 
Oh don't let me stop you tesoro.

Alex Narration: (As he walks away)
If she is in my math class I'm gonna have to be careful. I get the feeling she'd eat me alive.

Encounter with Nerds: 
(setting: (C.U.M: Chronicles Unbound: Mythos)
(Alex Walks passed the Table 3/4 nerds and Ema are sat there)

Nerd #1: 
15!!! My Epic Swipe hits for.... (rolls dice) 34 Damage

Nerd #2: 
Nice, Your Barbarian Swings at the Grobloid, the Great Axe easily parting it's head from its body.
You roar as arterial spray covers you! 
Ema you're up.

Alex Narration: 
Oh, it's that girl from sign ups. Think I might say hello, try smooth things over.

Alex: 
Hi there. Ema right?

(Nerds look up annoyed, Ema is slightly startled)
Ema: 
What? Yes that's me... Oh it's you!

Alex: 
Yeah, it's me. Alex.

Ema: (Blushing)
Yeah I remember, sorry!

Alex: 
Hey, it's fine. I just wanted to say that we're cool about earlier. No need to sweat it.
Was this what you where in a rush for?

Ema:
Yeah. Couldn't miss my first Session.

Nerd #2: 
Yeah, and we'd like to carry on playing.

Ema: 
Howard, there's no need to be rude!

Alex: 
It's fine, I didn't mean to interrupt. What are you playing if you don't mind me asking?

Howard: 
We're playing C.U.M

Alex: 
Cum?

Howard: 
No, C.U.M. Chronicles Unbound: Mythos. Not that you'd know what that is.

Alex: 
errr... isn't that the fantasy thing they made a console game of last year? What was it called?

Howard: 
Fall-Us Glans; Warriors of Shi-Tar, surprised you know it.

Alex: 
That was it, loved playing it. Nearly completed it on Nightmare mode.

Ema: 
Wait.. you like C.U.M?

Alex: 
Errr... I liked the game if that's what you're asking. So this is like that?

Ema: 
Yeah, but you get to decide what you do, you're not constrained by what some developer decided.

Howard: 
Well, I think you'll find it's a bit more nuanced than that, as Chronicle Master...

Alex: (ignoring Howard)
Wow that sounds cool. 

Ema: 
It is, it all takes place in your imagination!

Nerd #3: 
Come on Ema, take your turn already.

Alex: 
Choice A: Show Interest:
That sounds Cool, I'd like to give it a try sometime.
Choice B: Don't Show Interest:
Sounds Cool, well enjoy your game.

CHOICE A RESPONCE: 
Ema: 
You would? Well we're here next Thursday!

Howard: 
Hey, I'm the one who invi...

Ema: 
Howard, what did I say, and you're always complaining we only have a small group!

Howard: 
Okay, Alex we'd be happy to have you

Nerd #3: 
Come on, can Ema take her turn already!

Nerd #1: 
Yeah, I don't mind breaks but this is dragging.

Alex: 
Okay, sorry for interrupting your game guys, I'll see you next week.

Ema: 
Ohhh it'll be fun! Bye Alex!!

Howard: 
Now where were we? ah yes... Ema your turn.

CHOICE B RESPONCE:

SEEING KATIE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVENT 

Alex: (At a row of books)
Ah, here we go. Intro to Statistics and Pre-Calculus. 

(Girl Walks past. Shot of her passing with 'oh yeah' type music. Extra glam similar to scrubs scenes.)

Alex Narration: 
Oh my god, who is THAT. She's gorgeous! And that scent... like strawberries. (Watches eyes agog mouth open. Girl looks over her shoulder, slight frown forming. Alex quickly looks at books, blushing)
Damn, she saw me staring. Was I slacked jawed? Shit... Shit. I could go try talk to her? No that would make it worse. Brush it off, Brush it off is all I can do.

Also I can never talk to her, ever. That was my 'and you to' coffee shop moment. Fucking Damn it.

(Alex takes books and moves on)

MEETING CLAIRE 
(See Claire sat at a desk reading/on laptop)
Alex Narration: 
Oh, there's Claire. Wonder what she's doing here?
(Option A: Sneak Up. Option B: Say Hi)

OPTION A: 
Alex: 
Boo!

Claire: 
Ahhhhh.....
Jesus, you scared the hell out of me!

Alex: 
Haha, I couldn't resist.

Claire: 
Dickhead. What do you want?

Alex: 
Oh, just though I'd say Hi, what you up to?

OPTION B: 
Alex:
Hey Claire.

Claire: 
Oh, Hi Alex.

Alex: 
What you up to?

CONVERSATION CONVERGES
Claire: 
Just preparing for Classes. Studying the schedule, course material.

Alex: 
Of course you are. Heh, always the bookworm.

Claire: 
Shut up. 
Surprised you aren't doing the same.

Alex: 
Oh, I'm meeting Zoe later for that. Bella not with you?

Claire: 
Nah, she already got her books and is off... (hand wave) somewhere.
Where's that brother of mine?

Alex: 
Oh, he's off checking out the Frats, and the Sororities if I'm honest.

Claire: 
Figures. He's gonna pledge isn't he?

Alex: 
You know Kevin. He's been trying to get me to pledge.

Claire: 
Ha, could you imagine. You two in a Frat? I can't see that ending well

Alex: 
Yeah, I actually want a degree a the end of this. What about you? Not considering a Sisterhood?

Claire: 
Uhhh no. Have you seen them, either a bunch of bitchy stuck ups, or some really annoying sugar girls who feel they have something to proove.
I'm gonna try out for one of the teams or maybe get into the track and field stuff they have here

Alex: 
That sounds awesome. You seen the Facilities they have here?

Claire: 
Have I! If it wasn't for classes I'd be in there all the time. Though the gym might be problematic.

Alex: 
Yeah?

Claire: 
Those damn Kuks... (pulls stupid mimicking face) Gym is to get swole bro an' you ain't no bro.

Alex: 
Yeesh. I mean I saw them, didn't realise they where that toxic though

Claire: 
Bah, I'm used to it. When I go to try outs I'll have an ask around the girls there.

Alex: 
Well if I see you there, I won't be like... promise.

Claire: 
I know, you're one of the good ones.

Alex: 
Thanks. Look, I've gotta get going. Still have some more books to find/I need to get these books checked out. But I'll text you. We should hook up with Zoe and do a study group or something.

Claire: 
I'll hold you to that, she's been tricky to get hold of recently.

Alex: 
Tell me about it. Later!

Claire: 
Laterrr!

FINDING SCIENCE BOOKS: 
Alex Narration: 
Ah, here we are... One, two, three books. Easy to find, very ordered in here.

ONCE ALL TASKS DONE:

CLICKING ON LIBRARY DESK BEFORE TASKS COMPLETE
Alex Narration:

End of Free Roam Talking to Librarian. 

Librarian: 
Did you find everything you where looking for?

Alex: 
Yeah, I'd like to check these out please. (Hands over student card)

Librarian: 
Of Course (looks at screen) I see you've decided to cover the costs of your supplementary materials on your loan. That's fine. On your scheduling app you can add in the various study groups that we have for different subjects.

Alex: 
Oh cool, that's really handy. Thankyou.

Librarian: 
Have a good day young man.

(Alex Leaves the Library and see's a Goth Girl sat on the steps. He is then approached by a heavy set man in a Kuks Jacket. (eagle eyed will see it's the rival from before)

Guy:

Guy: 
Yeah you, where'd you get off man? (Gets up close to Alex)

~~Chad~~ Brad: (recoiling)
Whatever Bitch. (Looks at Alex) Watch your fucking step Freshy
(Brad storms off)

Alex:

Goth Girl: 
No problem, I fucking hate bullies.

Alex: 
No idea what his problem is.. 'His Girl'? Like property?

Goth Girl: 
Wouldn't expect anything less from a meathead like him.
I'm Becca by the way.

Alex: 
Oh... Alex. Again thanks for the assist

Becca: 
Again, don't sweat it. Don't suppose you have a smoke?

Alex: 
No I don't sorry... I could get you one

Becca:
