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!) ]

[she would because iris would do literally anything for kids. she's very talented at throwing herself into dangerous situations and just expecting someone to cover for her.

a little like now.

which is why she just fucking shRIEKS when something brushes up against her ankle, making her do an antsy and frightened little dance to try to keep her feetsies safe]

[ no one is here to save her, least of all her dorm, who are doing this to her.

more shapes move in the dark of the housé, skittering in the fog - something disappears up the wall into the ceiling in her peripheral, actually - but it's all making a terrible, awful, grinding and chittering noise.

there's a flash of light when she does her antsy dance, though. ]
