gooseberryhigh | 1:11 AM: NIGHTMARE

EVERY SENIOR ON CAMPUS...

You’re falling, and it shocks you into wakefulness. Except you’re still in your bed, you haven't moved, but your heart beating too fast. It's making you feel feverish, both sluggish and anxious, alcohol and caffeine. All you can recall from the nightmare is a scream, but it wasn’t from a human. It was deep, anguished, and indescribable. Trying to call it back to your mind only feeds the panic.

You’re not alone. You can hear your roommates stirring, and your familiar is wide awake with you, agitated and frightened. There’s static in the air, making you nauseous. You want to cry, maybe you do cry. The feeling sticks to you either way, like a film you can’t wash off.

This feeling slowly recedes as the sound of rain picks up outside. A drizzle at first, then a downpour.

HOW THIS WORKS

This takes place at 1:11 AM, 6/22, but we’re posting it early so you can write some scenes.

Only seniors experience the nightmare. Congratulations on winning the water balloon fight!

Seniors haunted by the uneasy feeling that something is very wrong, but they don’t know what. Falling back asleep will be difficult, but the panic does wear off within a minute or so. They may feel prone to nausea and/or crying, though.

A rainstorm begins and lasts until mid-morning the next day.

Animals all across campus are agitated and frightened, so younger years might be woken up if they sleep with their pet. Younger years won’t get the supernatural sense something is amiss, but wow Fluffy sure is upset.

Heathcliff ruined it by not having a pet. :( SORRY.

Ira's is a boring owl who lives in the owl house so

They can pass around all the animals, Joe Montana would be into that

I;m guessing that Spencer is crashing with Ira so some of the girls can take his bed, and Shandy is definitely being loud and upset.

SCARED CHICKEN OH NOOO

SHANDY. :(((

God Ira is trying to cuddle that chicken so much

honestly it's possible bc cash isn't about to say no

sooooooo yes they should.

the girls have no prefect they can do whatever they want!!!!

you know the old adage “just bc you can doesn’t mean you should”?

They're not scared it's just strategically advantageous!!!

I made it canon that some of them are sleeping over there in the vaguest terms!!!

Yeah it's just so there are more of them to dogpile a mimic if necessary
