[b]"Locked? Shit...I just got here too..."[/b] 
Itsuki cursed as he tried to gain entry to the building. He'd received a letter when he transferred detailing the dorm where he'd be staying at, he didn't really understand why he couldn't just stay with his dad like normal, he recalled something in the letter about "strengthening the bonds between the students", but it looked like who ever was staying there was out. Didn't even leave a key under the mat. He sighed as he placed his hands in his coat pockets and began walking to the only place a Japanese transfer student can ever go when they got nothing better to do: The Convenience Store! 

Of course, what with it being a convenience store, it was pretty damn boring, nothing really caught his eye aside from their big freakin' pretzels. He glanced at the price tag for the baked doughy deliciousness before him and found it to be...only ¥280? It probably took a single attosecond for him to ask the cashier for one, deciding that he'd need to kill some time while waiting for the dorm to reopen he pulled some manga volume from the magazine rack and waited as the Cashier printed out his receipt and gave him his change.

He began making his way towards the automatic door, telling the cashier to have a good night, the farewell was reciprocated as the cashier waved goodbye.

The automatic door began to slide open as he began walking towards it, flipping through the first page of the manga.

[b]"...Witch Detective? The fuck is- OW!'[/b] He ran into the partially open door, which had stopped moving once the clock's hands reached 12. He turned to where the cashier had been and grumbled, saying: [b]"Hey Buddy, I think you door is-Whu-WhuWHAT?"[/b] Where the guy had been there was now some sort of coffin...needless to say Itsuki flipped the fuck out and backed against the door as much as he could, as if he was going to open it by doing that.

[b]"This...T-This can't be real, nope,nope,nope, I'm going insane, Itsuki, you have LOST YOUR MARBLES. Oh god....E-Even the moon is fucked up...oh god oh man..."[/b]
He sidled out of the convenience store by shuffling sideways through the crack in the automatic door, the cheap plastic bending slightly as he forced his way through. He'd seen a bum hanging out on the street corner a few minutes ago...coffin. He saw some weirdo walking his dog at midnight...two coffins, one small, one like the others. He started breathing raggedly, this was just to surreal, a thousand thoughts raced through his mind: Was his father alright? Was he the last person alive? Why did this happen and how? All of these questions, and none of them he could answer. He sat down on the street corner next to the new bum-coffin and clutched his head in his hand. He thought about how much he wanted to start over fresh, someplace new, someplace where he didn't know anybody, it all just seemed too perfect. Just before he started getting too deep into his thoughts he thought he saw some sort of...black sludge move in a dark alley across the way. He was finally feeling it, he thought for sure he'd gone insane-until he saw that there was indeed something moving in the shadows. Not willing to risk staying around this place any longer, Itsuki ran. He ran as fast as he could, trying to make his way back to the dorm, if he was lucky, he'd find something that wasn't the alley-creature.
