PersonS {A Rejected Title and a False Explanation}

So? Anything weird?

Is weird a, uh, trend around here?

> Wash up first, before heading to bed quietly.

You give her a bit of a look. "Is weird a trend around here?"
"Err." She takes a second or two to recover. "Well, it's just, they supposedly cleaned this place out at the end of last semester, but Nene's room had some water damage, my room was dirty, uh..Marc found some used fireworks, I think." The pause was long enough for you to suspect she was biting back a different answer, but what exactly it would be you're not sure. "So if you find something like that, I can be a witness that it started that way so they won't blame you for it."
"Okay." You nod and head back to the stairwell, going up to the third floor.

The envelope contains a few rules-and-regulations forms you'll look at later, and two keys with masking tape on them that say "OUT" and "BED". After some trial and error, your room is the first one on the right.

Your room is fairly basic: There's a bed, a dresser and a tiny closet, and a computer desk with a couple of drawers. Your room has a small window looking out on the glorious view of the next-door building's walls. There's also a large empty cardboard box stuck into an otherwise unused corner of the room. You guess this qualifies as something a little unusual, but it hardly seems like a big deal.

The top drawer of the dresser has some provided sheets and a blanket in it, all under a dust cover of loose plastic. You throw them unceremoniously onto the bed and go to the bathroom for a quick and uneventful shower before getting into bed. It's...not the worst bed you've tried to sleep on.

We only have a week!

Please...!

1: Enveil'd

{Day 1: Friday, April 3}

You jerk awake at a persistent rapping on the door. "Hey, Alvin! Alviiiin! Wake up or you'll miss breakfast!" Nene.

The sun isn't out, which this deep into spring means it is definitely too early.
