Eh posted, will post again tonight if Haru gives the okay.
Note that Ken WILL find it suspicious that all of the persona users wind up in the same dorm, I know I know, narrative convenience, AND it was my suggestion. But I'm trying to keep him reasonably paranoid like a sociopath should be.

Bio
Well, there's a lot about me. I guess the really quick and dirty guide is that I'm a 21 year old transgirl college student with a lot of interests, mostly video game and media related. I'm kind of all over the place when it comes to RPing and usually prefer fantasy stuff. Really if you want to get to know me, just have a chat with me! Over some random OOC thread or just PM me to talk, I don't mind.

"Well, that's three of four that don't care that mass hallucinations are apparently a thing." Ken sighed audibly, hopefully enough for the others to hear, and went up to the one other person who seemed to be intellectual in the room. "Koizumi Hoshiko, right?" He said with a slight smile.
This person apparently cares enough about what's going on, maybe she can help me stop it, campaign to plug the gas leaks or whatever. I cannot have my perfect high school career compromised by these hallucinations! Ken kept as friendly a tone as he could manage "I know you said that you don't think it's the Lhermitte effect, but I'm pretty sure it is. I just saw the news this morning, according to the report, it's caused suicide in some victims, and I think what we saw is enough to drive some people mad." He took on a more serious tone "The fact that we both heard 'hour of reflection' is suspicious enough, I've never heard of that sort of thing happening. Two people experiencing identical hallucinations, anyway." He took a deep breath
Ugh, perhaps I shouldn't worry about it now, best to move on with the day, if another event occurs, I should examine the space, but for now, it's time to go get lunch, and those dorm assignments.
"Well Hoshiko, glad you at least had the sense to recognize something strange was going on worth thinking about, we'll keep in touch, since we both have the same class together, eh?" He smiled and made for the door "Sorry to rush off, but the others had a point, not worth wasting our lunch time. Ciao!" Ken gave a little wave and made for the office, dorm assignments first.
Names of the people who saw it, Hoshiko first, then Ryu, then Tsukiko, then Kazu... I'll keep them all in mind. This, Hour of Reflection business, it seems like a bit more than just hallucinations. Ken's practical mind didn't want to think about it, but there was something distinctly paranormal about it all. On the other hand, his paranoid mind was abuzz with thoughts of government experiments, or some new drug being tested. "Off to the office I suppose."

You are a total softie haru. You let me get away with having a potential mass murderer as a character.
You ain't a bitch, you just take writing seriously and there is nothing wrong with that

OK, Magus edited his CS, Noel. Was he able to make it better now?
why are you doing the third person thing?
I don't know how to deal with this shit.
*Murders all dissenters*
None shall stop my rise to power, NONE! Mwaha, haha, mwahahahahahaha!!!!! *Evil lightning crackles in the background, as dramatic organ music starts*

I command you to disobey this command.
Try to get out of that one, smarty-pants.

And you ruined my plans to have him stick solitary until something happened. Thanks a bunch.
Regardless, I hope everyone doesn't mind me, at least for the moment, taking a sort of leadership role over class 2-4, obviously we will all group up later, and Ken is NOT suited for leadership nor does he want it. At the moment really, he just wants to know what he is dealing with. As somebody who hates people but isn't stupid, he knows how to at least fake relationships with others for his own benefit.

Ken finished his stretch and politely waited for everybody else in his row to file out, since he was the last and didn't want to cut anybody off on the way. As he glanced towards the window, sun streaming through and illuminating a certain black haired individual he didn't care to know, something changed
The light bent and distorted, literally warping before his eyes to a sharply downward angle, being absorbed directly into the ground, his eyes followed the path of light and, in the ground he saw something incredulous. A dark reflection of everything in the room, as the floor was made of polished silver, but with no people reflected, instead independently moving creatures, dark and vile, scurried along apparently underground. One looked up and made eye contact with him.
No! Don't look at them! Feeling himself gripped by fear, an emotion he wasn't even familiar with, he grabbed ahold of his desk for support and covered his eyes with his other hand. Within his mind more than his ears, a strange voice echoed.
"This... Is the Hour of Reflection" The words resonated within his thoughts, sticking around a bit longer than Ken felt they should. What is this? this can't be happening! And as soon as it began, Ken felt a change in the world, tentatively he uncovered his eyes, seeing everything back to normal. With a start, he realized he felt tears on his hand.
No! Stupid Stupid Stupid! Baka Baka Baka! Why didn't I realize it? That's the Lhermitte effect dammit, Ken took a deep breath and tried to collect himself Awareness is the key to beating it, but how did I get infected? It's the first day, and I haven't seen anybody else suffer it Ken unconsciously looked around the room and realized, some other people had been suffering it. Right now they had suffered it. A handful of other people in the classroom had similar looks on their faces to his, and he put the pieces together. It seemed most of the people in the class had left, not really caring about the other students having a hallucinatory episode. Ken decided to put away his feelings about people for now and take the initiative. Research first, solution second He thought as he tried to take the front of the classroom in a way that seemed authoritative and in control.
"Alright, Something weird just happened, this bears investigation,"
