As if by teleport, Nikoli found himself arrived at the school. Having slept in many compromising positions the entire train ride there, Niko was well rested and full of energy. He has never been what he would call a "good thinker" so the many questions he had about the whole situation were quickly dismissed. Instead he prefered to bask in and take advantage of this great opportunity. The only actual schooling he's recieved were by the orphanage and that was just above mediocre. He was excited to get a real education and became quite full of himself, being considered specially chosen to attend gave him a cocky attitude about it. Even when he first arrived at the entrance he strutted with his chin held high, giving little thought to the unorthodox appearance of the university. This frame of mind was best suited for a person with his history. Avoiding the most unpleasant of his memories has so far worked very efficiently, allowing for him to flourish his all or nothing way of living and his seemingly attention seeking personality.
"Hmm......either our rooms smell delicious or these aren't the dorms" Niko says while scratching his head in frustration. Looking around he discerns which direction to attempt next. He then notices a giant, antique style clock up on a tall building. "AH SHIT, I better find my room or I'm gonna miss this...mas...ku....rade?" Niko says with hesitation while reading the invitation, unsure of how to pronounce the word and what it meant exactly. Another 10 minutes of sprinting around campus and he finally finds the dorms. Running to the top floor he quickly realized it was the incorrect floor as he noticed all the blank and aggressive looks from the women there. Rushing back to the first floor he finds the dorm board with room and floor details. "AHA, I got you." Niko yells in a combination of relief and excitement. Quickly getting to his room he enters with much anticipation. With a child-like smile Niko absorbs the whole situation. Having his own living room and private room, it was almost too much. After he touched every appliance, sat in every chair, and looked out the window pointing and waving at people who can't see him, he finally enters his room. First thing he did was run and jump onto his bed. It was at least twice as big and ten times more comfortable as anything he's slept on. Trying to stay focus he began searching for his outfit. Before he found it in the closet he looked in the restroom first, thinking because there is a mirror in there that that's where they would put it.
Stripping his clothes off quickly he throws his Tuxedo on, though incorrectly the first couple times. He then grabs his mask and slowly puts it on his face while humming suspensful music. And with an expression of sudden revelation Niko finally understood what kind of event a masquerade was. Exiting his room Niko, to his suprise, made it to the Grand Hall entrance on his first attempt. " ugh, they better have food I AM STARVING!"
