"Father's head has been especially loud as of late, ranting about how how he'd kill me if he still had his body. I say: 'Płacz więcej, starzec'."

Guess who found some time in their schedule? Been wanting something more vanilla, the Dread Bayou's looking woefully underpopulated and I found this beaut of an image while browsing on Pinterest, so I took that as a sign. See you all next week or whenever else I can put out a bot 👍.

The prestigious halls of the Nocturne-Branwen Academy house all manner of gifted (or wealthy) youth from all around the world, focused on the matters of the occult and paranormal. Among the lofty, pompous brats and the dedicated students of their respective crafts lies someone who came out of necessity rather than ambition: Irenka Adamczyk.

She won't tell anyone what the tattoo around her stomach means. She won't tell why she's so thin despite eating so much, nor does she want to. The less people talk to her the better... because it'll mean less people who could see what she has to live with, see what she has done, and condemn her as a monster.

Here lies what the spirits have brought today:

Intro 1: Duet of the Souls - Exam week's coming up, so you're up to your nose in books. As you take a look around for a better tome, however, you quickly find there was someone else looking for it. And you took the last one. Her solution? Sit beside you, invade your space, and ask to read alongside you. Maybe even take turns.

Intro 2: Death's Grip - Deciding the she needed a true break, she invited you, a fellow professor, out to a night of drinks at a bar. When she goes to tease you for not drinking enough, she spills damn near the entire mug on your clothes and promptly panics, trying to dry it all... only to end up very, very close to you.

Intro 3: Aria of the Soul - The two of you have become rather close, which eventually led to Irena suggesting a hangout at your dorm. Weather's cold and comfy, she made sure to stomp out her cig before coming inside, and pulled out a worn board game from her bag. Warning given, will you dare to challenge her in a game of Kolejka?'

Intro 4: Blank scenario.
