Jackie was exited. This was her first day on campus and she wanted to look around. She had moved up a couple weeks early because she wanted to have a chance to get to know the campus before she would have to elbow her way through the crowds.
There was another reason. A group her mother used to belong to when she was in college had opened a chapter there and tonight was sort of a grand opening. While her mother said she would be there Jackie had not seen her y et and assumed her to already be around or late as usual.
As Jackie wandered the halls she noticed very few kids had made it up to the campus yet. The whole time she was up there she saw at most 30 people. She had run into a couple of girls going to the same event as her. One was Irene who looked like she could live happily in a library, The other and polar opposite was Rachel. Rachel looked like someone who would be at home in a mosh pit. How these two got together Jackie didn't know. She was pleased to learn where the party was to be. apparently an older house close to campus had come up for sale and the group managed to get it.
As the time for the party drew near Jackie finally ran into her Mom, who had been stuck in the parking lot talking with one of her old alumni from the group. As they walked along Jackie noticed her Mom carrying a shopping bag with some medium size boxes that appear to have been gift wrapped.
To curious not to ask Jackie looked at the bags. "House warming gifts?"
Her Mom smiled and nodded. "In a sense, some of the things we used to play around with when we were your age."
Jackie looked puzzled not thinking anything could really be to impressive from the 70's but shrugged as they made their way to the house.
As they stepped in there were a couple of ladies her moms age as well as the two girls she had met before. Her Mom naturally gravitated to her crows as Jackie did the same. A couple minutes later her Mom came over as the
other two ladies went down stairs to the basement.
Jackie: Welcome to the new home of the Jacklettes. You three seem to be the only three who made it in. While my friends set up the game downstairs feel free to roam around. Just be careful as this old has some loose wood we haven't been able to fix yet.
The three young ladies nodded and split up to wander the house. Jackie took the upstairs, carefully though as she heard a couple of planks creak on her way up. As she looked at the upstairs hall she saw two doors on one side and a single door on the other. Deciding to take the solitary door first she opened it.
The room was fairly large. There was some nice deep closets apparently as she saw one whole wall with nothing but apparently closet doors. There was also a desk and chair in the middle of the room. As Jackie moved closer to the desk she saw that it was a fairly cheap one but efficient. The chair was a simple office one pushed fully up to the desk.
Curious Jackie sat down in the chair and leaned back a little. It was then she saw a sprinkler head. Puzzled a little she shrugged and assumed that it was put in by the old owners. As she was starting to sit up she spotted a switch by one end of the closet doors. Not seeing any lights or plug ins Jackie got up and moved over two it flicking it on.
A whir came from behind the closet and Jackie stood back wondering what she had done. Moving cautiously up to the closet she pulled open a door and stumbled back.
She didn't know EXACTLY what it was called but it's use was pretty apparent. There appeared to be a saddle like contraption sitting on a small keg. The "saddle" however had one quality she hadn't seen on any other, a vibrator. She went over and turned off the switch which caused the saddle to slow it's whir to a halt. Not wanting to be embarrassed if someone would walk in Jackie shut the door and moved over to the saddle.
As Jackie's mother heard the door shut upstairs she smiled. If her daughter was in the room she suspected soon she would get quite a welcome into this house. Just then one of the other ladies came up the stairs.
Lady: Everything is all set Claire. Is anyone ready?
Claire: I believe the upstairs study is a go Sam.
Sam nodded and went downstairs shutting the door as she went. As Sam did that Rachel wandered through. "Have you seen Irene or Jackie?"
Claire shook her head. "I didn't watch where Irene went, but I think Jackie went upstairs."
Rachel nodded and jogged up the stairs as Jackie's mother smiled, soon two of them would be set.
Irene who had wandered off had appropriately found the library, though she found it hard to look around as there were only oil lamps available just now. She lit one with some matches she had found next to one and picked up the lamp. As she turned she saw lots of smaller books. Not much for deep reading but something to thumb through.
