(A/N interlude number 1: I tried writing out something in vlog format for 'Dear Old Shiz' but it turned out really awkward and I didn't like it, so I turned it into this.)
From a car window, we see tall trees lining the sidewalk. There's a small shopping plaza, restaurants, bars...your typical college town.
Then we see it! The entrance to Shiz University. Majestic, old, and welcoming. The red bricks and ivy gives the school a regal looks as if it were Oxford or an old British university.
Many cars fill the campus, we see families helping their college aged kids move into their dorms. Previous students greet each other, excited for the mischief to start.
The camera pans to Nessa seated in besides Elphaba who we know is holding the camera. Nessa smiles and continues singing along to an unheard song on the radio. The camera then pans over to the driver of the van and a man seated beside him. The driver is wearing a check shirt and overall looks bored...he's obviously the hired driver for the car service. The man beside him is wearing a button down shirt and a tie. His hair is well combed. He appears to be in his mid-to-late 40s and we learn that he is Nessa and Elphaba's father.
We're zoomed in on a patch of green skin and leather and cloth bracelets...the camera must have turned on while Elphaba was gathering the luggage. She shows us the campus from her point of view once more.
She leads us to the quad where parents and students say goodbye to each other. Elphaba pans the camera to an overly perky blonde dressed in heels, a white dress and cardigan. The camera then pans to Elphaba who makes a funny face in response to the girl.
We can now clearly see that Elphaba is getting strange looks from the others in the crowd. Not only is she a strange girl with a camera, but she's green as the grass on the quad.
The camera turns off.
