  <Character>: Hi, I'm <Character>! It's really great to meet you all! Let's all learn weaving together!

• +1 Valen, +1 Tek, +1 Vaal, +1 Fae
  <Character>: Um... I'm <Character>.

• +1 Maz, +1 Vaal, +1 Alex
  <Character>: I'm <Character>, and don't you forget it. I'm here to be the best weaver I can be, and none of you are going to get in my way.

• +1 Valen, +1 Maz, +1 Tek, +1 Vaal, +1 Fae, +1 Alex
  <Character>: Hello, I'm <Character>. Nice to meet everyone.

• +1 Valen, +1 Maz, +1 Tek, +1 Vaal, +1 Fae
  <Character>: I'm <Character>, but, I think Tek had something to ask, Dr. Secundus.

• +1 Vaal, +1 Fae, +1 Alex
  <Character>: ...

• +1 Alex
  <Character>: I'm paying a lot of tuition for this! I expect to learn!
  Alexander: Thank you, <Character>! I agree! This nonsense about disappearances is just an... unnecessary distraction from the real reason we're here. I have full confidence in the school's faculty to protect us and keep us safe.

• +1 Maz
  <Character>: I'm paying a lot of tuition for this! I better be safe!
  Maz: Aye, whatever is happening, it better not affect us. Otherwise, what are we paying for?

• +1 Fae
  <Character>: What if I'm next?!
  Fae: T-that's what I'm saying! The students are d-disappearing, right? W-what happens to them? Where do they g-go? Imagine all the horrible things that could be... be...

• +1 Vaal
  <Character>: Whatever, I just want to learn how to weave.
  Vaal: Yeah. If it's being dealt with, then it's not really our problem, is it?

• +1 Tek
  <Character>: Disappearing students? Sounds interesting!
  Tek: Right? We're smart! We can probably get to the bottom of this! Give us all the details, professor!

• +1 Valen
  <Character>: ...
  Valen: That's enough, everyone! Whatever's going on, arguing isn't going to help. I'm sure we can all work together to keep each other safe.

• +1 Valen, +1 Tek, +1 Fae, +1 Alex
  <Character>: Sorry, won't happen again.

• +1 Maz, +1 Tek, +1 Vaal
  <Character>: Whatever.

• +1 Vaal, +1 Fae, +1 Alex
  <Character>: ...

Confirmation:

Are you sure you want Secundus to choose your group for you?

Yes - proceed dialogue.
No

• +1 Valen, +1 Tek, +1 Fae
  <Character>: It's up to us to stop the disappearances!
  Vaal: *Yaaaaaawn* I guess it couldn't be easy, could it?
  Valen: You could stand to be more enthusiastic, Vaal. It's not just our safety on the line, it's yours as well.
  Vaal: Sure.
  Maz: It's all well and good to say that we'll handle it, but we don't even have a plan. Anyone have any ideas?
  Alexander: I barely even know you. Why should I trust you to watch my back?
  Tek: That's true... We've suspected everyone but ourselves... Very unlikely, but I suppose it's not out of the realm of possibility...
  Fae: Ooh. T-that would be an exciting twist, Tek! But also kind of scary...
  Valen: I guess Alexander has a point. All we can really do is keep an eye on each other until we get to know one another better.
  Valen: Let us hope that no one else will disappear before class tomorrow.

• +1 Maz, +1 Vaal, +1 Alex
  <Character>: ...
  Alexander: I'm going to go now. Watch yourselves.
  Valen: Alexander, wait! We... we all need to work together!
  Alexander: We barely know each other. For all we know, the culprit, or culprits could be any of you.
  Alexander: Besides, I need to do my homework.
  Tek: I don't like it, but until we get more information, we'll just have to look out for ourselves.
  Vaal: Works for me.
  Maz: Stay vigilant, everyone.
  Fae: U-um... See you all in class t-tomorrow!

• +1 Valen
  <Character>: Thank you, Valen.
  Valen: It's no problem. Despite what some of us might think, we all have to look out for each other, don't we? I just hope we can get to the bottom of this.
  *Valen walks you back to your dorm, and bids you good night before heading back into the evening. While it wasn't the longest of walks, his presence was certainly comforting.*

<Character>: I don't need your help.
Valen: Oh. Sorry. I apologize for my presumption. Have a good evening, <Character>.
*You head back to your dorm alone, but can't shake the feeling that Valen seemed rather disappointed, even if his words did not convey his feelings.*

• +1 Maz
  <Character>: That sounds wonderful!
  Maz: Doesn't it? This way we can keep our eyes on each other. For purely safety related reasons, of course.
  *Maz hooks her arm around yours as you stroll comfortably back to your dorm. She bids you farewell and thanks you for the pleasant walk before leaving on her own. As you close your door behind you, you can't help but wonder... Was she being too friendly?*

<Character>: No thanks.
Maz: Suit yourself. Won't say I'm not disappointed, but I suppose you can take care of yourself, hm?
*As Maz leaves you to your thoughts, you get the feeling that she's somehow... relieved that you declined her offer.*

• +1 Tek
  <Character>: A project, you say?
  Tek: Yes! I'm working on an autonomous clockwork alarm device that can be used to alert its owner of any nearby threats! And well, you seem pretty strong. And threatening. So maybe you can help me test it later?
  *You and Tek wander back to your dorm in the crisp evening air, discussing all sorts of mechanical contraptions and ideas! A most stimulating discussion was had before Tek leaves you at your door with a warm smile.*

<Character>: What's wrong with you?!
Tek: Hmm. An interesting question. My body temperature could stand to be a few degrees higher at present, all other functions seem normal. And- ah. I take it from your expression that you did not appreciate my um... prank.
*You inform Tek that you did not, in fact, appreciate the "um... prank". Tek frowns for a moment, before smiling and skipping off, muttering to herself about gears and noise boxes. Were you too harsh on her? But given the circumstances...*

• +1 Vaal
  <Character>: Need some help?
  Vaal: Haha, yes, um, that would be appreciated. Thanks. You're not so bad, you know? Not like some of those spoiled stuck-up rich kids. I think... my dorm was that way...
  *You help Vaal to his dorm after a few mishaps, before heading back to your own. Vaal seemed rather grateful, but did he really have so much trouble finding his dorm? Or was it all an act? Could someone so disorganized really have been accepted into Edelia?*

<Character>: Um. Good luck with that.
Vaal: Oh, I see. Not to worry, I won't keep you from your important business.
*Without another word, Vaal stalks into the evening. You get the feeling that you failed some kind of test... But what was Vaal testing you for? You head back to your dorm, lost in thought.*

• +1 Fae
  <Character>: Thanks, Fae.
  Fae: Y-you're welcome! Um. Do you mind walking me back to my d-dorm? I w-was going to ask Maz, but she um... S-she ran off before I could...
  *You assure Fae that it will be no problem. After a brief and relatively quiet walk to Fae's dorm, she turns and gives you what you think is a quick smile from under her mask before disappearing into her room. You head back to your own room basking in the evening light.*

<Character>: That's not mine.
Fae: O-oh, it's n-not? U-um... I-I'm sorry!
*Before you can say another word, Fae runs off, leaving you a little confused. You head back to your dorm for a peaceful evening, but can't seem to shake Fae's nervousness out of your head.*

• +1 Alex
  <Character>: Alexander.
  Alexander: I'm keeping an eye on you. Just thought you should know that. You're definitely the most suspicious of us all. And if you have any hand in this... distraction from our studies, I. Will. Find. Out.
  *You give Alexander a weak smile as you protest your innocence and continue back to your dorm. Alexander keeps pace with you though, occasionally glaring at you when he thinks you aren't looking.*
  *While not the friendliest, the company is nice, and he does leave you alone once you make it back into your dorm.*

*You keep walking.*
Alexander: Ignore me all you want. I know you're hiding something. And I will bring it to light!
*He's clearly crazy. You walk back to your dorm alone, but can't shake the feeling that someone is still watching you...*
