Month Day, Year
3. 8. 6.
The rolls of Calanthe’s pitch black d20 seemed to echo her year thus far. The rattle of the die on the hard surface of her trunk served as music to her ears, preventing the dullness of boredom from infecting her mind. But the clatters gave only a short pleasure for when she returned her eyes to the haphazardly painted die, the numbers only depressed her.
She picked the thing up once more and tossed it, eyes gleaming over the golden 20 as it skipped lightly until slowing to land on…

Oof. She grabbed the dice, nails scraping against the trunk and hurled it across the dorm room. Falling back onto the bed, it was only five seconds more before the ennui hit. Groaning loudly, Calanthe picked herself up from the bed and stalked across the room to retrieve the die. As she brushed the small object off, she noted the matte black nail polish peeling off, revealing the bright pink layer beneath.
Refusing the be sucked back into memories, Calanthe ran back to her trunk and dumped the die inside. Before she could close it, her eyes skimmed over The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection by Quentin Trimble. She hesitated for a moment but decided against it, shutting the trunk with a loud thud. Back in her bed, she tried devising ways to escape the boredom.

No. Let me stop you there. You don’t want to study. You don’t want other people seeing you study.
And so, Calanthe found herself on the fourth floor of the castle, searching for a quiet place to read the textbook that was tucked under her robes. The lavatory was out of the question (she had dignity!) and the duelling club looked to be in full swing. Observing that the ballroom had one too many students milling about, Calanthe spotted the rehearsal room, her last option on this floor.
