WHAT In an effort to let Abel get his own bearings after breaking off from the Reapers' control, Cain makes new identities for himself, Abel and Holly and enrolls into college with them. Hijinks.
WHEN Start of a semester. Mid-2020s.
WHERE Somewhere-Somethin' U.

It seemed they had arrived first. They didn't have any last minute business to take care of, or any parents to wish them off or insist on roadtripping it instead of flying like anyone with common sense would. They all had each other, and they all had a vague plan: survive through and graduate college. Some kind of bonding experience that would acclimate Abel to the inner workings of living people around his supposed-age. As many things were, it was Cain's idea — something to help straighten Abel's head out after the mindfuck that was breaking through the shell that the Reapers had stuffed Cain's brother inside for the better part of three millennia.

While it might not have had all that much common sense to it, there was a logical thread. Cain was just glad his brother and niece had gone for it eagerly enough, something to make sure they all stayed together even when Holly was rapidly growing up and soon to outpace her father and uncle. At least she had a better idea of how to act on her own in public; Cain wasn't too worried about how she would get by, although he made a mental note to pull her aside and nip any problems in the bud later on.

"I'm taking this room!" Cain said from the upper hall. It was small but had the air of being well-used over the years and there were no other beds that meant he would be sharing with unwanted frat brothers. He peered into the one next door and grinned over to his brother. "This one looks good for you. What do you think?"

Ever since Cain had pulled Abel from the Reapers' control, Abel had been sticking close to his brother. He felt lost without the direction the Reapers had given him over the past nearly three thousand years and had attached himself to the only person he would trust to keep him grounded while he figured out what exactly he was going to do with himself for the rest of Cain's life.

Which meant he went along with Cain's plan to head to college, pushing aside any apprehension he had since he knew his brother would take care of things. He looked into the room Cain had indicated and was quiet for a moment. "It appears suitable enough." He noticed the fact that there was a single bed and tilted his head slightly as he attempted a slight frown. "You do not wish to find a room for us to share?"
