. . .

No alarm... I woke up earlier than usual...
I couldn't even open my eyes properly, I grumbled under my breath as I made a beeline to the dorm bathroom. It took a splash of water to get me to be fully awake. I stretched a bit, brushed my mess of hair to freshen up a bit.

It was still dark outside, and I was tired to go out. Considering this is practically 4 A.M. right now, I'd probably die as soon as I go outside. I took out some water from the mini fridge that was inside the room and downed half of the water.
Oh, I just realized I was almost dehydrated from the lack of water.

Other than that, there was nothing there to keep me entertained. Unless, someone helps me with that. And no, not in a... questionable manner-












A knock.

"Liy! I'm sorry but, can you come outside real quick?"
Someone was outside, It seemed like Leafy wanted me out of my room. I don't know her motives, but I was nervous. Is she gonna kill me? Wait no... she wouldn't be the one to kill with no reason.

I went over to unlock the door and saw Leafy outside. "Why are you out here so early?" I rubbed my eyes. "I'm serious. There's a strange smell riight by my room and the rooms next to me are getting the smell too!"

I'm curious. "What was the smell?" I asked. "Like meat, a funky meat, I guess? I dunno how to describe it..." She said. Weirdly specific... I sighed. "But it's 4 in the morning... Let's go see it later-"

In a second, Leafy dragged me out of my room and ran towards the smell. And oh boy, it was horrendous. I covered my nose with my free hand. Leafy looked up, with fingers pinching her nose. "Sorry I had to drag you out here, but hey, I already did it to everybody else." I looked around and saw the others just standing there, some were missing, but I just assumed that they were still sleeping. I hope...

I could sense the smell coming from the broom closet nearby but when I gently opened it, there was nothing.
"...I'm gonna pass out..." I saw Loser slowly fainting, I caught him on time. "Geez! What even is this smell?" "Someone get Loser to his room!" "You'll wake everyone else up!"

I feel even worse. I saw several others go to the nearest restroom, some going to their rooms, and well, I just helped Loser settle down to his own room. I just went into the cafeteria like yesterday, making sure to stop by the restroom to do my business.

I entered the cafeteria, and again, saw Black Hole. "Dude, did you hear the commotion over there?" I pushed his back gently. "No." He grumbled. "But I did smell a putrid scent." So he did notice the scent. But, damn, these guys sure do love going out at night. Already broke one of our made up rules...

I went into the kitchen to make my breakfast, without Cake here, the food I make would be almost inedible. So I just made some simple scrambled eggs.





. . .
Half-burnt. Great.

I sat down and ate my sad scrambled eggs, I might've gone overboard with the salt since it was very salty. I'm still trying to stay hopeful throughout all of this, it won't last long though... I'm apathetic, I know. I washed my plate and put it on the drying rack.

"Heeey, whoever pooped in the hallway has to owe all of us money!" Bottle teased as she and the others entered the dining room, I could sense the scent immediately spreading across the room. "It's not poop you airhead!" Stapy nudged her arm. It seems that everyone is done with the whole smell thing, I suppose.

Some people came inside the kitchen. Presumably getting breakfast, I'm guessing.
Once I was finished, I went over to... someone, I guess. Leafy isn't here so that's a no-go, so I just went over to GB's table. "Hey, can I sit with... what are you doing?" I noticed that she's got a box of blueprints on the floor, and she was holding one. I couldn't tell what's on it so I leaned slightly closer. She seemed to notice me do this. "Could you not?" She said. Rude. (Or maybe i'm the rude one...) "Also yes, you can."
