   "Mind telling me your names?"

   "How could you possibly not know the Crown Prince of Briar Valley?!" the green goblin looked at the archon wide-eyed. He stared at him like he just said one of the most preposterous things in the world— no, in the whole universe.

   "Enough, Sebek." the tall male looked at the goblin with a warning look in his eyes before turning to face back to [M/Name].

   "Apologies. Let us start over, allow me to introduce myself. I am Malleus Draconia" he took a step closer towards the bed the bard was laying on.

   "And I'm Lilia, Lilia Vanrouge. These two are Sebek Zigvolt and Silver, just Silver" Lilia followed in introducing himself before pointing towards the other two.

   "Glad to see you alright" Silver stated— Quite of a befitting name, one truly wonders who named such a dashing young man? He looked at the bard up and down, noting how he was seemingly enjoying the comfort of the bed.

   "Ahh! You must be the young man whom I tripped over earlier," [M/Name] pointed at him whilst breaking out into a smile.

   "Uhh... Yes," Silver looked taken aback

   "It is quite a delight to be assisted by a great youngster like you. Though does anyone care to tell me where I am?"

   "You are currently in one of the dorm rooms of Diasomnia. Since you aren't exactly wearing the proper uniform, we weren't able to distinguish what dorm you are from," Lilia gave a deep smile, his eyes peering straight towards the archon, seemingly capable of penetrating through everything in his disguise. Or maybe he was actually able to? Only he would know.

   "Ahahaha, about that let's just say I got special permission from the headmaster himself. Anyways, I'm [M/Name], [M/Name] the Bard and I'm from Scarabia. A pleasure to meet you all."

   "[M/Name]! Where did you disappear off to? We heard that the Headmaster searched for you high and low" Deuce look at him worriedly while Ace was smirking beside him.

   "Well I heard that someone saw the Headmaster mopping back to his office with a dejected look on his face. How did you manage to hide from him for so long?" The terracotta haired male suddenly inched closer towards the bard, eyes sparkling with mischief as he spoke excitedly.

   "Ace! We shouldn't be asking such things... Are you planning something again?!" the other first years smacked him upside on the head, startling the other approaching students nearby.

   "[M/Name], seems you're still in one piece," Yuuken joked, holding Grim in his arms as the creature throws a tantrum about tarts and tuna. He was mindful in keeping a certain distance from the archon.

   "Ahaha! But of course! Along with it, I was able to discover what type of wine I should steal more of next time" the bard cheerfully exclaimed with his hands resting on his hips.

   "Next time... I won't even stop you... No, I can't stop you, nothing will I'm sure," the tall male sweat dropped whilst pursing his lips.

   He turned towards Ace and Deuce who are bartering about the rules. He then asked [M/Name]," We're going to sleep at Ramshackle. Would you like to come with us?"

   "A lovely offer. I shall take you upon that, I still need to hide from my Vice- Housewarden after all," [M/Name] followed closely behind as the group made their way back towards the newly inhabited dorm.

• • •

   "Would this be considered as a mini party?"

   "Yeah! And all that is missing are the games and wine," [M/Name] stated as he crashed onto one of the comforters laying on the floor.

   After arriving, the group spent some time arranging and cleaning up one of the sturdiest rooms within the dorm. They are now setting up their sleeping area and this 'they' are Yuuken and Deuce.

   "I think you should have gotten enough wine inside your system to become wine itself," Ace stated laying sideways on the comforter with his head on one hand.

   "I hate to admit it, but Ace is right you should limit your wine consumption before you die young," Deuce looked at him as he carried the pillows into the room.

   "Worry not! A small amount of wine such as earlier would not be enough to be able to kill me so easily," [M/Name] said, a matter of factly.

   Before the two could rebuke him, Yuuken hurriedly entered the room holding a rectangular box in his arms. He had an excited look on his face as he showed off the dusty container. The three looked closer to find the word 'Monopoly' written in bold letters beneath all the dust.

   "Monopoly? What's that? Some sort of secret cult?" [M/Name] asked, looking back and forth between the box and Yuuken as the other two did the same.

   "What? No! It's a board game in my world I can't believe you say able to find it here" The other worldly being answered happily as he proceeded to open the box after dusting it off. He opened the box to find a thick folded board with faded colors on top of it, along with small figures and colorful fake money.

   "It's still in one piece. How about playing a few rounds before sleeping?" Yuuken took out each of the box's contents inspecting them closely before playing them on the floor.

   "Yeah! Seems like a fun game, though there seems to be a few blood stains on it..." Deuce hesitated after taking a closer look at the box.

   "Ehh. It must be nothing. Don't tell me you're scared, Juice" Ace taunted, a smirk plastered on his face.

   "What?! Why you-" and a new round of bantering started.

   The bard looked at them blankly, "They're like a pair of divorced parents"

   "Huh?-"

   "So how do you exactly play this game?"
