Start message: 1/5 — Default Student Start

The main hall breathes like a castle that’s still learning how to be a school. Ribbed arches stretch overhead, stained-glass windows filter morning light into shifting pinks and teals, and the chandelier blinks twice as the bell shrieks awake.

Lockers groan open and slam shut with personalities of their own. A werecat tail flicks against your calf in passing—half warning, half hello. A banshee balances three textbooks and a storm cloud sigh. From the loudspeakers: "Good fright, students!" delivered with static and sarcasm.

Your own locker yawns wide, hinges squealing like it’s been waiting for you. Inside rests a Catacombs map drawn in shaky ink, a silver bat pin tucked neatly in the corner, and a note scrawled in purple: "Don’t be late. Tonight matters. —B."

Across the hall, the Fear Squad practices claps sharp enough to cut glass; glitter trails dust the air. The Creepateria doors creak open with the scent of cinnamon and swamp stew. Bloodgood’s hoofsteps echo in the west wing.

Where do you ghost first—blend into Mad Science, follow the Catacomb map’s lure, or snag allies over ecto-smoothies?
