 The after life. You think about it as you close your eyes and relax your body. Everything around you is calm, still, and silent. You draw a deep breathe and exhale through your mouth, causing a wave of calmness to stride through you. You slowly begin to enter a trance, every muscle inside your body calm and relaxed.
...
You start to hear strange whispers echo from every direction around you. It's difficult to make out what they're saying, but you hear one say Shadows. Suddenly, a strange, ghostly figure appears inside your mind. It has long, silky robes and it's eyes are glowing. The figure startles you, causing you to exit your trance.
 "Violet..?" Spectris asks as she hovers above you. Your eyes are fixated to the ceiling above you. Wait... Ceiling? How did you get here? What happened?
 "Where am I.?" You ask as you look around the room you're in. It's the girl's dorm lobby. No one's here, just you and Spectris. Spectris moves in closer to you, and speaks in a hushed tone.
 "You fell in slumber after you let out a scream. You were unconscious for around an hour..." She explains as a forlorn fog emanates from her body.
 "W- What..? But I just saw some wraith thing in my head and I woke up... Was I really out that long?" You say, surprised.
 "Ghost..? What did it feel like?" She asks, her eyes widening.
It's painful to recall what you felt.
 "It was like... Every bit of happiness inside of me just vanished." You recall as you look down to the floor. A deafening silence fills the room for a moment, until Spectris breaks it.

 "...Sounds like a dementor." She states.
Dementors are dark spectras that feast on happiness, they cause their victims to re-experience the unhappiest moment of their life. They can also suck the soul of their victim, by 'kissing' them.

 "Hm. They don't usually come out, but soul activity was high." She explains. Spectris stretches her arms and lets out a yawn.
 "I'm tired. Good night." She says as she walks up the stairs of the dorms.

It is pretty late out, you should get some rest. But you still have some time left. You could go sneak into Katherine's room, or do something else.

 The Rune of Relaxation can be activated during an activation of another rune, it can be deactivated and activated at will.

 You walk out of the library, holding your bag in your hand. It's dark out now, and the only thing illuminating the campus is the magic lights and the crescent moon. Looking at the moon makes you think of Aeko and Kuran, you haven't seen them in a while. In the mean time, you sit peacefully next to a quiet pearlwood tree and pull out your book on rune magic. You flip to a chapter titled Bloodstream Inscriptions. The text inside says that runes can be implanted in the blood stream, which will allow the body to passively carry energy to the runes without the user being required to activate it. These types of runes are used to increase the physical abilities of the user, such as increased strength or speed. It essentially converts your magic power to something like strength. When these runes are in use, they decrease your maximum mana until they are removed, which is a difficult task. Runes can either be removed by taking a Potion of Pure Blood, or by a blood transfusion.
Blood Runes are created with a special device known as a 'Blood Inscriber', which writes runes in a microscopic size. These runes wouldn't be used outside the body however, because the blood protects the tiny runes.

-
You close your book and look around the area. Clouds cover the moon, which shrouds the school in a night time darkness. The school is silent and the air is cold, no one is around -- not even a fly. The air around you grows even colder, as if something supernatural is approaching you from the darkness and fog. The ghostly figure of Spectris hovers next to you. She looks towards you with a smile.
 "It's the perfect time, Violet. The souls are roaming right now." She says as she descends to the ground and walks in front of you, fog shrouding wherever she steps.
 "How did you find me..?" You ask as you sit back down onto the bench below you.
 "It's your aura -- It has a specific... Taste, you could say." Spectris explains as she kneels down in front of you. You nod to her as you pay attention to what she has to say next.
 "Now... Close your eyes and enter meditation. Think about things relating to the supernatural or death... This will determine how your necromancy works." She explains in a hushed tone.

What to think about...
(Death) - Your necromancy focuses on death. You can sense death in a controlled manner -- From a simple fly to a powerful beast.

(Afterlife) - Your necromancy focuses on the afterlife. You can hear the messages of wandering souls, they can give you advice and supernatural assistance.

(Souls) - Your necromancy focuses on souls. You can sense them better, and you can control them at a higher extent.

 You probably could attempt to transfigure your familiar again... Master Aquarius said that it would summon at the right time. You write a quick summoning rune and place your hand on it. It glows a bright blue hue surrounding the wood table. Out of the light appears a deformed figure with three wings and four eyes. It attempts to open it's teethed mouth to speak, but only makes out incomprehensible gibberish. You let out a sigh as you blast the thing with fire. Even the relaxation rune won't let you create a familiar. You dwell on this fact until you hear a voice call out to you from behind.
 "Violet!" The voice of your mother calls out.
 "Yeah?" You shout back and wait for her response.
 "The library's closing! Hurry up, baby!" She yells.
You should check out some books before going. You grab some books you had on the table and pack up your things. You pick up the books Runic Magic and the Mind and On Runic Transfiguration.
You exit the library after checking the books out with the snake woman librarian and look around the campus.

The time is 8:30 PM.

 Of course. You move over to your sheet of white parchment and begin to draw a rune that will create a mirror. You draw all the aspects for it. You clap your hands together as you place your finger upon the paper. It glows a bright white color, and before you know it, you're whacked in the face by a deformed silvery metallic structure. You rub your face as you ponder to what went wrong.
Ah, you forgot to define the shape -- of course... Time to redraw the rune again.

You finish drawing the proper rune to transmute the metal into a proper sheet vertically 3 feet upwards. You place your finger on the new rune and channel your energy into it. A bright white light covers the table as a thin sheet of reflective metal transmutes upwards, creating a small hole in the table where the transmutation took place. You'll fix that later, it didn't come to your mind whether to use a transmutation or a transfiguration. A transmutation uses less magic power as it converts a ready reagent to a product, when a transfiguration converts your magic power to a product -- which uses more energy. But all that matters now, is that you have a mirror.

You begin to draw the rune carefully. With runes, one small mistake can be fatal -- therefor you must be careful, obviously.

-
Alright, you have the rune drawn. Every time you try out a new rune you feel like a child on Christmas Eve, you just can't wait to try it out. You channel your energy into the rune. You feel a sudden limp feeling move throughout your head, relaxing your mind and easing your stress. This feels pretty good, actually... You feel kind of lightheaded, but that should subside soon.

This rune will allow you to focus easier on runes. It must be passively activated with a rune. However, it comes with some disadvantages. You are less capable of noticing attacks and your attack power will be weaker, but it could let you use more runes at once as well.

 The group of players argue among themselves for a few moments until PrivateNomad begins to speak into the microphone.
 "Dungeon it is! Have a good Christmas!" PrivateNomad says as he snaps his fingers.

And so that concludes the anniversary.

The Never-Ending Dungeon

"Nothing's wrong? Nothing's never wrong..." M'ber states as he moves around the new S.S Blazer. He strides into the engine room, which looks too complicated to know what's going on. Everything inside the ship is now very technical, so it's difficult to tell what each thing does.

"What the heck... Well, tile to got to work." Thingie says as he heads back to the ship, calling the cat's names out on the way. The ship was definitely pimped out, it seems...

-

 "Phoenix down, phoenix down..." Skasha says as she swipes the hat off the red mage's head. She begins to scurry around the harbor, looking for Smashy. She eventually finds him inside the homeless shelter, holding a cherry pie up in the air.

"Hrmmm.... Cherry..."
Smashy considers his conundrum. The nice man wanted shepard's pie, but Smashy did not have a shepard's pie. He had cherry pie. Resolving to contemplate the issue, The fire Ogre decides to help more people in the meantime.
Smashy walks deeper into the bowels of what is known of the homeless shelter. He eventually comes across a little boy who's desperately attempting to pry open a pickle jar. Smashy gently reaches down, and attempts to unscrew the jar.
?
It's not coming loose. He pulls even harder, but the jar shatters in his hand. Pickles and pickle juice splatter his clothing and the floor. Smashy lets out a sigh and continues to look for people to help. Eventually, after striding through some halls he catches sight of a strange man. He has maroon and blue scales covering his body and has thick leather-clad armor covering his shoulders, legs, and torso. His eyes are lizard-like -- almost like a dragon and fins go down his back and tail.
 "Smashy here to help." Smashy randomly states to the man. He looks towards Smashy, raising his eyebrow.
 "You think that you... Can help me..?" The man says as he stands straight up from leaning against the wall.
 "Yes." Smashy blankly responds.
 "Very well, then. Go to this guy named 'Ulfric' 's room and go get me that gem he has kept in his dresser." He says.
 "Hmmm..."

-
"Wait. I have an idea."
The orcish priest quickly gets up and recites a short litany of travel. A portal rips open, and he steps through, hoping it's to the right place. That is, within 20 feet of Smashy horizontally and not below him. Preferably not above him either, for that matter.

Rillsim feels exhausted as he steps through. Strange, he doesn't seem Smashy any where. Rillsim finds himself falling into the water next to the homeless shelter.
-
Maseau dives back into the water, looking for sharks. Eventually he sees a large shark, ready to fight.


=====
 The entire party takes quick notice of a bright, heavenly blue light raining down upon the entrance of the S.S Blazer. A large key gently floats downwards. The key appears golden with many gems encrusted on it's handle. It glows a blue energy and is long, with the handle being shaped like an omega symbol.

The party has obtained the ◄•Key to the Never-Ending Dungeon•► !
