You know those people who just seem to have a smile all the time and greet you in a friendly and upbeat manner regardless of the situation? There's a hunting pack of them running through the dorms. They're knocking on all the doors and talking to all the people. One of them is wearing a sandwich board boasting 'free hugs', another is wearing an ushanka cap smoking a sugar stick- offering extras to everyone she passes.
They're going to find you. They're going to ask you what what your major is, what your favorite band is, what you like to do on weekends, and there's nothing you can do to stop them.

-Fail: Gain 1 Knowledge
-Crit-Fail: None
Classes, the worst part of college. Yet, somehow, they remain a necessary evil. The teacher is droning on about ancient egyptian algebra in an accent that makes him sound like a runner-up bond villain. You've almost managed to fall asleep in your chair (you need it, considered how little you got last night), when a piece of paper hits your desk.
There's a shitload of little squiggles everywhere, with arrows and lines and numbers. Your heart rate calms slightly when you tune back in to the teacher telling the students this is just extra credit, and you can pick any one of the three problems to solve. Harder problems, more credit.

Technical IssuesType: Event
Challenge: Standard Tech.
-Pass: Gain 1 Knowledge and 1 Tech, OR draw a contact asset.
-Fail: None
-Crit-Fail: Lose 2 Savvy.
There was supposed to a tech demo during one of your classes. Emphasis on 'supposed'. The TA is having more than a little difficulty getting their laptop and the projector to work together. The seem a bit embarrassed by the kawaii-as-fuck laptop wallpaper that keeps popping up on the screen instead of the presentation slides.
You're pretty sure you could fix it, but then you'd be 'that guy', the one that gets up and actually helps the teacher instead of sitting passively and making disgusted faces.

The architecture of the warrens, cramped and foreboding, means that light only really reaches the street during high noon. Any other angle lets the old buildings cast long shadows that meet and mingle, making even an early afternoon walk a dark one.
You become aware that you're being followed a few minutes after checking out a shady little antique store. The man stalking you is enormous, and you catch glimpses of him every time your turn a corner. You try and tell yourself that it's your imagination, hyped up on the news stories of crime waves and people going missing, but you can't shake it.
Nor can you shake him. Three random turns later and his reflection still dogs your step in every window you pass. Eventually, you turn on your heel to face him and see what the hell he's up to.
When you turn, however, there's nothing there. Confused, you turn back, and find your face inches from your pursuer's. There's a rictus grin etched into his face, and his eyes mad. He clutches a simple kitchen knife in his right hand, held low. Something crusty, brown, and uncomfortably blood-like coats the blade and most of the man's sleeve up to the elbow.
Perhaps it's the sudden shock of adrenaline and terror, but it seems like there's something moving under his skin, a twisting skein of glowing blue and green.
