so the question is, will they take me to their leader first

I think the most disturbing part of being in the new building is the fact there is a door in the handicapped bathroom stall! Okay, well, that's disturbing, yes, mostly because I cannot figure out where it goes.

It's like this great mystery. Or a mediocre mystery with a coating of huh, why? So I, being rather bored, what with the computers being down and my mentor still kind of bitter about that entire encyclopedia dramatica link, so yeah, not going in that cubicle until I'm armed with placation in the form of food and goods, decided it was time to find out The Truth.

So I asked. Blank looks all around. Door, they say, chewing on a sandwich and never meeting my eyes. A door in the bathroom?

A door in the handicapped bathroom stall, I explain. With a handle. And light coming from underneath.

So I found a floor plan (they're hanging everywhere) and lo, there's a mysterious space that hooks to that mysterious door. A space, they say as I point emphatically to the space. Right, that door! Why didn't you say so? That is a closet.

Do they always leave the lights on, I ask suspiciously, watching for tentacles (I know I've seen this movie, and I've been reliably told, fire. Kill it with fire).

Lights? They ask blankly. What lights?

So far, I have yet to hear any noise from it--and isn't that suspicious? Of course, me leaning against the door looking frantic is probably equally suspicious, but luckily my reputation precedes me--most of them are aware I'm subject to random fits of curiosity that sometimes end with me hunting up a screwdriver and taking things apart.

If I vanish, I will be in the mysterious light-filled closet.

At this point in my life, I make my own fun. Carry on.

We have UNDERGROUND TUNNELS. They are generally locked, but one of my anth profs used to unlock them "by accident" if students wanted to explore. Then again, he has since disappeared (off to get another PhD they claim). Some are steam tunnels, others are maintenance. Words cannot describe how curious I am.

We also have a building where some doors that look like they lead to classrooms lead to more halls, you have to go up from the first floor to reach the first floor, you can only reach part of the building by going through a computer lab, and you have to go up to go down sometimes. One of my friends refuses to go in it, and at least three are certain that it follows non-Euclidean geometry and that the rooms, halls, and stairs like to move around. It's my favorite building ever.

So this is Lovecraft University then? The Necronomicon could be in those rooms!

...God that is awesome. So. Awesome.

Someone ran a one-shot Call of Cthulhu larp in the building, but I missed it. And before I started studying at the university, there was a Vampire larp run there (which has since moved to the dorm that looks like a castle; no, I'm not kidding; it also has ghosts, apparently).
