@CondorTalon soooo since we are in different classrooms, does that mean my character is supposed to be somewhere different from your character? Or are they in some kind of common area?
Since class just ended, most of the characters would still be in their classrooms. Since the rumor is pretty much known by like 95% of the student body, it is completely feasible to have an NPC spark your character's interest in the rumor (or maybe they're already interested in it).
