A short while later, Ace and Grim sat in the Ramshackle Dorm lounge. Alice went into the kitchen and filled up a glass of water. Alice would have gladly provided some refreshments and tea for their guest, but this dorm was, well...scarce of any refreshments for the time being.
Alice then walked back to the lounge, set the glass of water near Ace and sat down next to him. "Um, so why do you want to become a member here? It's not that I don't appreciate your company, I'm just merely curious." Alice inquired.
"That's the same collar that that red-haired senior put on me during the entrance ceremony." Grim said, looking at Ace's collar. "What's it doing on you?" Ace folded his arms with an irritated pout on his face. "I ate a tart." he said simply.
Alice and Grim both stared at him in stunned silence, unsure of what to say at first. A tart? He got into trouble...for eating...a tart? It didn't make any sense. "Huh? A tart? That's it?" Alice asked curiously. "You heard me! Literally just that!" Ace said, nodding.
"Got a bit peckish, so I wandered down to the dorm kitchen and found a whole tart just chillin' in the fridge. And then turns out there were three whole tarts! So..."
Ace could hear the loud ticking from the clock above his head as he crept downstairs towards his dorm's kitchen. It was the dead of night, and while he didn't want to disturb the other residents of their sleep, he also didn't want to get caught for what he was about to do.
He and Deuce had just arrived back, completely exhausted from today's events. Deuce had already gone to his room to get some sleep and Ace was planning to do the same when he suddenly heard his stomach growling.
"Ugh, I'm beat, and it's only day one. Missing out on dinner's got me seriously starving." Ace groaned. So he decided to stop by the kitchen to grab some snacks before going to bed. His growling stomach overruled any sensible reasoning to wait until tomorrow morning for breakfast.
