In the crisp Spring morning, Yet another missing poster falls off another tree. The paper flew in the air like a strange bird who clearly accidentally got high off of something. Soft footsteps fill the area, because they belong to one College - aged girl. This girl has Long, soft and somewhat dark purple hair, with matching eyes. Her skin is darker than normal and today, She was using a crutch to move in her walk to the college that’s only a few minutes away. Unfortunately, this Ill-fated girl will be destined for failure, at least in this world. She didn’t slip on the fallen missing poster, but she crashed right in a pole because she was too deep in thought about something. Right in front of a couple of the popular kids who drove on by. These popular kids laughed at the unfortunate girl on the ground. The girl felt Embarrassed right then and there, but she was able to get up by herself and hurriedly go to class inside of the college. --- Warm colors welcome The young woman who runs into misfortune most of the time. This is the College, where the Mascot is the Unicorn. No one really knows why a fake horse represents them, because nothing about their college is Magical. If anything, it’s just a false promise. A marketing strategy, like everything these days. As she walks to the elevator, the little TV in the corner is showing yet another Advertisement for Virrax’s new toys. ”Huh…another product for Virrax? Weird…” She thought as she pressed number 5 on the elevator. Soon enough, the Elevator closed and It brought her to the floor, where She hobbled into class like normal. --- Now, Only a fool would be ignorant about the rumors going around Miral University. About the forbidden basement that only staff were only able to go into. Usually these rumors explained certain relationships the teachers had with each other or the teacher who was ‘very excited’ over a stereotypically popular person to ‘help them pass’...but one certain Rumor caught the Ill-fated girl by surprise. This rumor was told to her by her best friend, Jake. Jake was a twenty year old boy who often hung out with the popular kids in Miral University. Jake also hangs out with the Ill-fated girl, known as Carmine Letzte, and tries to make the waters calm between her and the popular kids. Sadly these efforts are like trying to pick a lock with a wet pasta noodle, but at least Jake had a heart. --- (In notes and Credits)
During Lunch, Jake whispered to Carmine: “Hey, I heard that the basement has this old Virrax Headset. The same one that Daisy wore a year ago before she disappeared! Think about it!” Carmine was skeptical, but she had a smile on her face. She spoke back softly to Jake: “Oh? I just thought Daisy left that year…Didn’t Miss. Christine say that? Even having the papers to show the class?”. Jake felt a tiny bit annoyed, he spoke: “It could just be a cover-up…I mean, wasn’t it strange that she had those? Usually those are only with the principle!” Carmine giggled and playfully shoves Jake in the arm. Her smile caused Jake to smile back. “Pfft…you really need to stop believing everything you hear…” Said Carmine as she sips on her milk. Jake chuckled and spoke “I don’t believe everything they say!- I mean, I don’t believe that Miss Christine would do it in the basement with Mr Brown and Mrs Beau.” Honestly…that Christine, Brown and Beau rumor was beyond any of them why the students would think that. It just sounds like they’re shipping for the sake of shipping. Sure they were awfully flirtatious…but who isn’t? Anyways, The two friends ate their food. They both made fun of how stupid the other students and teachers are in little inside jokes only they know…and they both made an idea that they should head downstairs when they should’ve left for their dorms. They did it because of a bet Jake made to test Carmine’s curiosity in the unknown. Carmine agreed to prove Jake that she’s not a wimp…and the 20 bucks did help sweeten the deal as well. --- And so that night, the duo entered Miral University’s main building. There’s no security, so it’s horrible if per say a intruder broke into the school but it’s perfect for someone who wants to find out school secrets. The duo, in black hoodies and sneakers with matching black pants, went to where the basement is. Jake looked apprehensive for a moment, and Carmine noticed it. --- “Are you starting to freak…?~” Carmine teased with a grin. Jake felt his face light up in embarrassment as he stuttered in an defensive tone: “N-No! Shut it!...I’ll…I’ll just help you get down the stairs so we both can explore…”. --- As Jake helps Carmine Down the steps, Carmine giggled lightly when under Jake’s breath he said that she was an Idiot. It brought Carmine much joy to see Jake so embarrassed, an enjoyment that other students confused as flirting- but that’s not right. It’s just teasing. Soon enough, Carmine and Jake made it to the ground floor of the Basement. As expected, it’s huge. Jake spoke up after a moment: “I’ll…look at the east and North, you take the west and south…Alright?”. Carmine nods and she went off to the Southwest area of the basement as Jake went to the Northeast. --- Carmine was silently hobbling in the dark, as she looked at a strange little thing. It had a green light and…she felt compelled to go towards it like a moth to light. It was strange…Her senses scream: **”STAY BACK CARMINE! STAY BACK!”** but yet…she didn’t listen. It was like she didn’t need a light to know what to do. Last thing she remembers before putting the object over her eyes is Jake yelling something…then, for her, everything goes white once the object covers her head. ~~~ {End <3 I might make a Carmine Account if I wanna go all out and be fancy}
