Scarabia Dorm - Vacant Room

Kalim was in a pretty good mood today.

Agreed. That was the "regular" Kalim I know.

When he's in a bad mood, he narrows his eyes and gets this scary tone when he talks.

Are you certain that's what's happening here?

Whaddaya mean?

You're prone to mood swings yourself, Floyd. Kalim doesn't give me that same impression.
I suspect a different root cause at play.

Jamil said it was brought on 'cause of their lousy dorm standings in Spelldrive and the exams.

Really? Since when does Sea Otter care about that?

Sea what now?

He means Kalim. Floyd likes to give people nicknames based on sea creatures.
In your case, Grim, you have a cute, round little silhouette.
Which is why he calls you Sealie. It's a term of endearment.

I ain't round! I'm full-bodied, thankyouverymuch!

Sea Otter's always bangin' on a drum with a grin on his face. Reminds me of those fuzzy sea scamps.

He does have a generally sunny disposition. I can't imagine his demeanor would shift so drastically over something as minor as unimpressive grades.
I agree that the root cause is likely to be something else entirely.
If we want to get to the bottom of this, we'll need to get to know Kalim better.
Jade, would you mind having a little "talk" with him?

Consider it done. Jamil would be a harder target, but...
Kalim might be willing to "talk" openly with me.

Then I think I'll play with Sea Snake in the meantime.

Excellent idea. I'll join you for that.
Heh heh heh...

Their smiles ain't reached their eyes once this whole time...
Scarabia Dorm - Jamil's Room

Ugh. Yet again, Kalim ignored my input and made an arbitrary decision.
Does he have any idea how much extra work that means for me? Rrrgh.
Well, he's asleep now. Surely the rest of tonight should go smoothly.
  • Knock knock*

A visitor? At this hour?

Good evening, Jamil.

How's it hangin'?

Mind if we drop in?
Sorry to disturb you this late.Sorry for the crowd.

Gh! What do you want?

When Kalim gave us a tour of the treasury, we spotted a board game I've never seen before.
I asked Kalim to explain the rules, but it's still not quite making sense to me.

It's this wood board with little divots, and you put gems in 'em or something? How's that work?

Ah, I recognize the board. That's a popular game in the Land of the Scalding Sands.

As a member of the Board Game Club, I'm always looking to try new games. Would you care to play a round with me?

Aha ha, me too! I wanna see what you've got, Sea Snake.

The great Grim never misses out on a competition!

Kalim's gone to bed. I don't see why not.
My dorm room doesn't have enough space for all of you, though. Let's play in the lounge.
