🗝 Something Spooky happens...
around campus today
❖ Iris Maxentius and Arlo Snapdragon are in the Athenaeum's cozy den when they hear a ruckus upstairs. The house's tendency to drop books into rooms en masse means that this isn't an unusually occurrence, but what is is that it continues for several minutes. Upon preliminary investigation there's nothing of interest in the unoccupied bedroom that was the source of the clatter. The room is glut with books, having no inhabitants to clear them out on a regular basis. If the pair attempt to move any of the books to investigate further, however, the pile begins to cave in on itself and disappear into nothingness. Clearing away the remain books reveals a hole, of sorts: in the shape of a long gash, two feet long and six inches wide, there is a black nothingness in the floor that the books have been falling through. Peering through it accomplishes nothing: there is only pitch black beyond the threshold. Investigating the ceiling on the floor below also reveals nothing. It is normal, and the hole does not go through the floor.
❖ Sivle Lindarion and Pocket Puddlepatch are meandering aimlessly around the beautiful art installations of Prismari campus when they spot a similar hole, although this one floats about an inch off the ground and is only about six inches in diameter. As the pair gets closer, they realize there is a small creature of a similar pitch black hue gnawing at the sides of the hole, making it larger. When they get close enough, the creature wheels around and bars its many shining teeth at them before it disappears through the hole. This hole is ostensibly spherical, but looks like a flat circle no matter what direction you look at it from. Peering through the hole offers no sight of the creature.
❖ At approximately the same moment, Bielobog Anger and Czernobog Anger spot a similar creature at Lorehold Campus, lurking between the imposing statues of Effigy Row. It has no hole to gnaw on, and flees at the sight of the students. Bielobog manages to snag the creature by its long, rat-like tail, and the twins get a good look at the thing: made of the same black nothingness of the holes, it looks flat from any angle. It is about the size of a rabbit, although its body is disconcertingly shaped. Its head is human-shaped, with a broad mouth full of white teeth and two bright white, lidless eyes that burn like embers. It has six limbs with three long toes on each, and its tail is long and thin. The twins put the thing into a bag, but when they next open that bag they will find the inside to be the same flat black of the holes and the creature gone.
