OOC Kay.
IC "Well, first I would say we should pick a time period to focus on and start there," Norman explained, reaching down to his backpack and opening it up as he pulled a collection of other books out. "How long have you been alive? We could focus on a time that you know of," he explained, prepared to get all into it. Norman really enjoyed working on different projects.

Mordecai nodded and watched him as he grabbed the books from his bag. "How long have I been alive..." he muttered to himself as he thought about the question. "Somewhere around 200 years, but I would probably focus on a more recent time period. Older memories aren't too clear anymore." he explained to him.

IC "Well then let's focus on...say world war 1? That was an interesting time period and there's plenty to cover," Norman explained as he flipped some of his history books open, searching through the index for world war 1 before flipping to that point in the book. "Unless you would rather do something like...the 80s," he added.

"We can World War 1, it's more interesting anyways and I still remember most of it. Although I only really know the American side of things." Mordecai said to him then glanced down at the book, his eyes skimming over the section about World War 1. "So where do you want to start?" he asked Norman, his gaze flicking back up to him.

OOC Sorry for the poof.
IC The human thought for a minute. "Hmm, I'm not sure, where do you think we should start?" He asked, looking up from his book, placing his elbows on it as he looked at Mordecai. "After all, you should know," he reminded with a smile, the fasted way to break him out of his shell was to give him a project to work on, that or feed him, that would work fairly well too.

(It's fine, I went to bed and had school.)
Mordecai sighed. "Alright, I'll think about it." he said then leaned back in his chair as he thought about it for a couple seconds. "Well we can start with pre World War 1 before we actually start talking about the war itself." he suggested to him as he leaned toward him slightly.

OOC Okay.
IC Norman gave a quick nod. "Alright...we'll probably need time and a place to really work on this project...this school has a library, after classes as could meet there," he suggested, sure they had this class too, but certainly they would need more time than just this. "This'll be fun though, I love working on projects," he told the vampire with a grin.

"Well, we could go work on the project at the library, or we could go to one of our dorms. Either way is fine with me." Mordecai said as he watched him. Projects take a bit more time than just a few days in class so they would for sure need to meet up after school. At least Mordecai wouldn't mind spending extra time with Norman.

IC "Hmm...probably a dorm room so it's more quiet and we don't have to keep our voices down...I tend to get excited about things like this and being shushed by people at the library isn't really something I'm that keen on doing, so yeah, one of our dorm rooms work," Norman agreed as he glanced back over at his book.

Mordecai nodded as he listened to him. "You seem to really like projects, don't you?" he said with an amused smile. Norman sure was an interesting guy. Mordecai was pretty sure he has never seen anyone so excited about school projects in his lifetime, well until now. "So do you want to meet up at my dorm or yours?" he asked him.

IC Norman reddened slightly and looked down at his desk. "...Yeah, but projects are really fun, and even though before I've usually requested to work on them alone, you seem nice and haven't bullied me...which is refreshing, so I don't think I'll mind working with you," Norman explained as he looked back up at the vampire. "Well...I just figured out where my dorm room is, so maybe mine? I'd probably get lost looking for yours," he joked.

Mordecai felt bad for the kid. Everyone else seemed to bully him, but he was the only one who didn't and was kind to him. It was kind of sad. Norman was a nice person once you gotten to know him. He didn't deserve that kind of behavior. "Then let's meet up at your dorm room then. I do already know where it is so it will be easy to find." he said to him with a slight smile.

IC Norman had chalked up previous bullying to the fact that he had to deal with stupid teenagers, here at least he was surrounded by mature vampires who had lived too long to still be stupid enough to find amusement in bullying others, at least thats what he had chosen to believe from this point out. "Great, when do you want to meet up?" He asked as he closed his books and looked over at him.

"We can probably just meet up once all our classes are done. I don't really do anything after school." Mordecai said with a shrug as he looked to him. He never really hung out with anybody after school, and he didn't really go into town like the others did. So he had a lot of free time on his hands.

IC "Okay," Norman agreed with a crooked grin. "That should work," he said before pushing his thick framed black glasses back up the bridge of his nose. "I think we chose a good time period. World War 1 is one of my favorite times to learn about," he explained with a small smile. Though Norman was enthusiastic about basically everything school related sans socializing.

Mordecai nodded as he watched him. "A lot of events happen in that time, so it will be easy to do a project on it." he said to him then looked away from him as the bell rang, signaling that class was over. He stood up from his chair and put his bag on his shoulder. "So, I'll see you later?" he said to him.

IC "Yeah," Norman agreed with a smile. "Cya later," he said as he started to collect his books and place them back in his backpack which he basically always kept with him in case he had to grab something from there:

Morecai nodded then turned and started to make his way out of the classroom, glancinv back at Norman before he walked out. He almost felt kind of excited to spend some time with Norman after school, even if they were just working on a project.

Mordecai finished his last class of the day then started to make his way to the dorms. He was supposed to be meeting up with Norman so they could work on their history project together. He went into the dorms then went up to Norman's room amd knocked on the door gently. And he stood there waiting for the door to open he wondered if he made it there before Norman did.

IC Norman's door was wide open, his roommate, Randolph was gone for the time being and Norman was glaring up at the book that was placed on the top shelf, Randolph was a jerk putting it way up where the short boy couldn't reach. He huffed before taking a few large steps back. "Okay Norman, you can do this, just jump," he told him and got ready to jump up at the shelf...oh this was certainly going to end horribly.

Mordecai looked into his room and watched him from the doorway. Partly waiting because he needed to be invited in and he was watching to see what Norman was going to do next. Even though it was just a dorm room he still needed to be invited in, some of the rules vampires needed to follow were a bit annoying. He then cleared his throat to get Norman's attention before he hurt himself trying to jump at the shelf to get the book down. "You need to invite me in." he said to him.

IC "What?..." Norman asked as he stopped mid run to the shelf and looked over at him. "Oh right...er come on in," he told him with a small grin. "I'm uh...just trying to get that book. Randolph is a jerk and stuck up there so I couldn't reach it," he explained a bit sheepishly.
