VAGABOND

[THEWIZARDMAN]

A young man with an unbelievably shitty haircut and extremely noticeable mole is walking down a dirt road. Today is his first day back to school, which he happens to not give a fuck about.

But in order to return to school, you'll need a name for your peers to call you by! You feel like this will be a less terrible year than your last few, so you want an extra special name this time.

What will your name be?

First adventure. I thought of it like 5 minutes ago because I'm bored

Yes! TORRENT CABERSTEIN! This is most definitely a super cool name. With a name like this, you're bound to accomplish great things this year!



As you finish thinking about how super cool your new name is, you realize that you finally reached the FRONT DOORS. Yeah, it's your first day back in a whole year, but this stupid school has given you some pretty bad experiences that you're not too happy to come back to. Year after year, you're bullied excessively, forced to make a fool of yourself in class, and pretty much just humiliated until you flip the fuck out and are sent away. You didn't attend last year because, frankly, you've had enough of it. The only reason you change your name every year is to try and keep people from hearing that you're back in class and ripe for pestering.
This year, you want to start fresh and keep your cool. You figure that if you can keep a level head for one measly year, you'll come out at the top of your class and ready to make a name for yourself. Um. A permanent one.

Now, if only you could show up on time for once in your life. THE DEAN doesn't seem to be manning the FRONT DOORS today. Lucky you!

The terrible cobblestone walk in front of you leads to those menacing double doors. Adjacent to them on either side is the SCHOOL BANNER with it's fearsome mascot being fearsome. The dirt road you're on continues to the right and through a portcullis which leads to the GREENHOUSES or goes BACK to town, from whence you came.
Will you go in and prove your worth to the rest of the school? Or you could always return to town and do whatever you want. Who needs school anyways? There's more to life than some fancy diploma! .. Okay, you don't really think that's 100% true.

Deface school mascots using writing utensil. You should have one, it's school!

Eat some dirt. Go inside. Spit at people.

>Just walk in, try not to make a fool of yourself whilst doing so. =)

[Askia]

what exactly is the school teaching?

[THEWIZARDMAN]

You figure you'll give that pesky dean a little something to be appalled by before you head to class.



Hehehehe.



That'll show him. What now?

[PersonPerson]

Scream like you're going to be murdered and bang on the doors.

[THEWIZARDMAN]

SOMEBODY. ANYBODY. HELP! HELP!! I'M BEING ATTACKED BY A VICIOUS MAN AND I'M GOING TO DIE! HELP ME! DEAR GODS I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!!



Wow, what a fucking waste of time.

[Kíeros]

> Call out "Hey, you've left me outside! I want to start schooling! Please let me in?"

[PersonPerson]

yeah sure that ^

[cryptidWrangler]

>Just open the damn door.

[aspiringAnimator]

Scale the wall PARKOUR style. Or, you know, use your wand to open the doors.

[Askia]

just walk up the wall already

[THEWIZARDMAN]

You're about to yell at the door about wanting to start class already and how you're not very patient.



But then you realize that talking to doors is stupid.



You open the doors instead and walk inside.
You sigh the big sigh and gather your wits for another dreadfully long day of school.

[THEWIZARDMAN]

You are immediately ushered in by a nearby HALL MASTER. These guys take their jobs way too seriously. They have the honor of dutifully escorting wandering children into classrooms so that... you don't know. So that they're not wandering around, you guess. And they do everything in their power to make sure their halls remain child free. They are so good at keeping their halls free of children that it is basically ridiculous.

The hall master is wondering what you're doing outside of a classroom at this time. How any kids manage to slip past their instructors and out of the school and then decide to return just to make his job harder is beyond him. He doesn't get paid enough to do his job, but god damn it, if he doesn't do it then nobody will. Your atrocious behavior makes him want to tell the Dean about your mischief and get you into lots of trouble for being such a little scamp, but then he says that you're lucky he's feeling generous on the first day of school and will let it slide this time.

But of course, that's not going to stop him from doing his job. You are forced to enter the nearby classroom.



Actually, you think he just shoved you into some kind of closet.

[Askia]

whats the light?

[Kíeros]

> See if there's anything else of interest in that room.

What's inside the barrel?
