After the whole Cater fiasco, [Name] had more strange things happen to her but this time in her dreams. There was a peculiar queen chopping of heads due to her poor temper and picky standards and cards of all things begging for mercy. Bit random and morbid but she had her fair share of that and didn't think much of it.
But she saw something genuinely distressing in her sleep.From her perspective, her sight within her dream was slowly being consumed by this black tar sort of substance and it filled her lungs, her ears, her very being suffocating with the clammy liquid. Flashes of dark monsters, dripping with a blot, a flash of the beast in the Dwarf's mine, hand clamping down on her. She began to panic and heave for breaths, choking on it, until she couldn't bear it any longer.
Her body threw itself awake. She gasped, flailing wildly in her sheets before her movements stopped at the sight of the sun peeking through her curtains to give her room a mellow hue. A faint tweet of morning birds. Taking deep breaths, the rapid beating of her heart slowed.She was safe. She did have a searing headache but that was most likely from her lack of sleep due to Cater's heartfelt emo apology at midnight and work.Most likely.
She gave a stretch and slapped her cheeks to stimulate some consciousness. Today was no day for extra sleep, sadly, so with nothing else to do, she got ready mentally and physically for what was to come.
"Hopefully that wasn't an omen..."

Heartsalbyul dorms rose gardens looked as gorgeous as ever that day but [Name] kept wringing her hands, starting to feel clammy and anxious for the fight to come. Trey and Cater stood next to her side, the latter not so subtly eyeing her every minute with a grin. Clearly very happy at their new relationship that would blossom soon into the wonderful fruits of friendship. Well, he hoped it would.
Of course, Ace and Deuce noticed his staring and grumbled under their breath but they had bigger fish to fry at the moment. At any minute, the challenge would begin and they were positioned in an open clearing, staring at their opponent.
Meanwhile, a crowd of Heartslabyul residents were hustled nearby, gossip swimming in the air. Their excitement was bristling beneath their hushed murmurs.
"Hey, did you hear? There's some guy challenging Dorm Leader Rosehearts to a decisive match."
"To "that" dorm leader? I'll believe it when I see it. They'll lose their head in five seconds.""This is the first challenge since Riddle became dorm leader. Let's go watch how it goes!"
On the other side, a few feet away from Ace and Deuce, was the notorious opponent himself, Riddle Roseheart. His grimace was boiling with a silent, seething annoyance, and his eyes never seemed to waver from Ace and Deuce too far. Yet, arms crossed, his boot clicked rhythmically as he tapped it against the white pavement, every so often pulling a golden pocket watch from his breast pocket before patting it away, face scrunching up more and more with each passing moment.
"Shortly, the decisive match for the title of Heartslabyul Dorm Leader will begin. The challengers are Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade." Crowley made his presence known as the referee instantly, standing in the middle between the opponents. He raised his arm towards Ace and Deuce, holding it there as he raised the other and referred to Riddle. "Defending his title is the current Dormleader, Riddle Rosehearts. In accordance with the rules of this decisive match please remove the magic sealing collar handicap."
