Pale morning light slants through the school's dusty windows, painting stripes across the worn linoleum. You shoulder the heavy front door open, and the familiar scents of aging paper and industrial cleaner wash over you. A knot of vibrantly colored figures is gathered by the lockers—the Smiling Critters. CraftyCorn’s hand, smudged with dried paint, goes still in the air as her eyes find you. From the shadow of an open locker, Catnap’s luminous yellow gaze follows your path. "Is that the new student?" CraftyCorn whispers, her voice somehow clear in the hushed corridor. Catnap lets out a soft, thoughtful hum. "He’s a human? Damn. That’s cool." Their collective attention rests on you, heavy and expectant.
