Tuesday, twelve o'clock sharp. Humidity rising outside. Countless students seek refuge in the cafeteria's cool AC. Some seem antsy, while others lounge in the media area's arm chairs. It was sure to be an interesting afternoon, Eloise figured, passing and mentally notating snippets of gossip as she swerved around the cliques of her peers. She had secured a salad, just something light from the lunch line - intending to find a cozy corner to scope out leads while making short work of the salad. Unfortunately, there weren't many corners to pick from - that is to say, there weren't any unoccupied corners where she could sit. Second best choice it was.
Eloise navigated through, towards the stairs that led in to the media area. There was some foot traffic here, but certainly not as much as the first floor - plus she could perch above the plethora of fellow students and really get a good perspective over them. Made her lunch even more productive. She sat midway up the stairs, where they turned to meet the second floor - sitting along the rail, out of everyone's way enough as to not become an obstruction. Glancing around, she smirked. This was definitely the most ideal position to observe potential persons of interest.
Opening her salad, she drizzled some of the dressing that it came equipped with over the lettuce - closing and shaking it for even distribution. Her methods were typically this practical. Being in no rush, she didn't open it right away. Instead, she used her post to her benefit - catching the eye of an all too familiar face in the mix, heading her way.
None other than Jared Symons, someone who unintentionally made her quite a bit of money in his careless, sleazy exploits with the girl population of Metric. They would get suspicious and ask for info on him - easy money as far as she was concerned, he was always seen with several girls any given week. El figured they could just follow him around themselves and save their money, but she supposed her reputation preceded her. Good for her, bad for Jared the Casanova.
