Bad Moon Season One

Episode One: Bad Moon Rising

Sunday, Sept 23rd - Monday, Sept 24th Session 1 Sunday, Sept 23rd

• The episode opens in Warner Pelt's loft, where he's chilling with his developing posse. The early bird heads to bed while his friends continue gaming and spots movement on the roof of the Athletic Center across the way. After a moment, he spots an almost silhouette again. His exclamation draws Thomas Michael Craig's attention, and they kill the lights in the loft. They decide to investigate in case someone needs help. Danny Marin joins them.
• Outside the Center, they are debating how to reach the roof when Thomas notices an impact on a nearby window that leaves it cracked and smeared with blood. This spurs them to action (but Danny heads back to the loft), and the resourceful students pull out a flashlight and lockpicks and break into the Center. After a bit of slinking, the pair are startled when Thomas's cell phone breaks the silence with an incoming text message, but nothing untoward happens. They do hear, however, an impact deeper in the building as loud as a car hitting a wall.
• The pair make their way to the weight room, noticing that the window in its door seems to be blacked out. Warner's flashlight reveals that the window is coated in blood, and a slight nudge knocks the damaged door down. Beyond is a scene of bloody horror. The room is trashed and spilled blood (not strawberry jam) is everywhere. The two flee.
• Warner deals with the horror by cooking an early breakfast, while Thomas answers Theresa Cantu's text to meet her at Crossroads. There, he finds her mooning over Jace Evans and marveling at his leather pants. Thomas drags her over to Jace at the bar, but she quickly flees. Jace notes that Thomas seems off, but his attention is drawn by Aedia Randall's arrival with her sorority gaggle. Jace draws Thomas to the dance floor to display himself for Aedia's benefit, making even more of a spectacle when Theresa joins them.
• When Aedia makes her way to the dance floor and suggests that Thomas should buy drinks for herself and her girls, Jace knocks him aside and announces that he has the money, starting a new type of display. He's unable to say anything interesting once at the bar with her, though, so she moves on to some jock for the night. Jace switches tactics to loudly and aggressively picking up one of her girls, whose name is unimportant and thus never revealed. Fade from Jace about to receive a handjob in the parking lot and already being over it.

Monday, Sept 24th, First Day of Classes

• Henry Mulgrew enters the ATO bathroom to find Reese Tavis shaving in just a towel, which is sufficiently distracting that he fails to notice a plot point. Deacon Alders gathers them up to tell them that the two are responsible for planning and implementing ATO's traditional Bonfire Party in the woods. Stella Jalo is there to help them as necessary. Stella notices that Reese's leg appears to be injured, and he explains that he fell in the woods while running and says he'll have it looked at.
• After the students have left for classes, a mysterious man who resembles George Clooney with an undefinable but surely sexy accent appears at ATO with a large box in tow. He explains that he is Valk (sp?), Reese's uncle, and he's here to drop Reese's possessions off, as his nephew stayed with him for the summer, but now Valk is headed out of town for a while. Stella takes the box and a kiss on the hand, and she recovers her composure with a glass of ice water.
