seasonality ✦ week 5, thursday 👻

[commandertoolbelt]

[ on thursday morning, there are strange signs (except... they’re all misspelled? who did this?) pointing everyone in the direction of winter dorm. follow, and you’ll find that they lead not to the dorm itself (whose doors remain closed and locked), but around the corner of the dorm, where a nice little shack awaits.

it looks quite normal, if you ignore the torn curtains in the windows, and the way the lights flicker from inside. and there’s an odd lack of… well, anyone, as guests approach - though you may see movement out of the corner of your eyes - was there something there? you must have imagined it, because you’re definitely hearing things. the door to the shack gives a loud creak as it opens, all on its own, fog spilling out to pool around your feet. the dim lights within illuminate a nearby sign that reads:

enter if you dare.

(it's not a culture festival without a haunted house! if you’ve ever wanted to be jumpscared by all of winter dorm, now’s your chance!) ]

[Maya may notice that the strange shape in the darkness. . . looks like it has many legs. . . she can only see the outline of it briefly for a moment, but there's something insect-like about it.]

[ throws a half-eaten roll at it ]

[ but it's not a good throw ]

[It's a spider skittering out from the darkness. It's hit with a half-eaten roll and it. . . meows.

Not a spider exactly? (CW on that only if you are very afraid of things that are spider shaped).]
