I won't give up, no I won't give in

[8. 8 people were dead. Three victims, three killers, and two rule breakers.

By now, late Tuesday night, Judy had had about enough. It wasn't quite curfew, maybe about a half hour before the clocks would chime, but a lot of people seemed to go to bed early these days. Either exhaustion from everything catching up with them, or fear that they'd be next if they didn't stay in their rooms. If Judy was smart, she'd do the same.

But she didn't know when to quit.

With purpose, Judy slipped out of her room and went to room number 7. Soundproof rooms meant that no one would hear her knocking on the door a few times, then knocking again with urgency if Nick waited too long to open up.]

[The sound of Judy knocking on Nick's door has the fox's ears perk up with curiosity. He had been laying around in his bed for the last couple of hours, honestly. Feeling.. a little lost at what to do. With another death -- not even caused by another classmate, things felt.. well. Hopeless, honestly. Like they were all just going to slowly die one by one and it'll be the same song and dance until there's no one left, kind of hopeless.

So the knocking he actually welcomes, better getting distracted by whoever this is than sitting around being depressed.

He hears her knock again, more urgently as he hops off his bed and he opens the door with an annoyed expression on his face.]

Alright, alright. What do you wa--

[...and he's faced with Judy.]

...what do you want, Carrots?
