{Scene 1: Ramshackle Progression}
After attending the unbirthday party, the Ramshackle Trio decided to progress more on rebuilding the dorm, Yuujin had the Heartslabyul’s contact saved in his phone just in case of emergency
Yuujin went off to Sam’s shop to buy some more wallpaper and Solar got to work with the log he brought several days ago, Grim was sleeping inside, tired from the events that had occured in the party
Solar shed off the tough exterior of the log and started sawing the object, where he got the saw from? Maybe that question will be left unanswered
He was comparing the skinless log to the rundown chair to get a reference before a voice pulled out of his thoughts, “Uh hello, can I ask what are you doing?” Solar looked at the person
It was a boy with cutesy looks and lilac hair, “And.. who are you?” Solar questioned him, “My name’s Epel Felmier” He introduced himself, named as Epel
“Hm, to answer your question, we’re trying to fix Ramshackle” The blonde told him, going back to his duties, “Is it okay if I join?” The young boy suddenly asked
Safe to say, Solar was caught off-guard too, “Say that again? Why?” He interrogated the other, “Well.. It’s just that my housewarden makes me do these stupid things after school! I jus’ wanna make up some excuse to get out of it!” Epel explained
“So you wanna get out of the prissy stuff?” Solar concluded, the other nodded at him, “Hmm.. Hey Yuujin, what do you think?” The blonde asked the person behind him, Yuujin was listening from afar as he approached the rundown building
Epel jumped a little from his appearance but regained his composure soon after, “I think it’s great to have someone help us, you guide him Solar” Yuujin instructed the blonde
“Aight, remove your jacket, this one’s gonna get a lot of dust on you” Solar warned the shorter boy as Yuujin went inside Ramshackle to replace the peeling wallpaper
“Bernie, Harvey, Karly! You guys here?” He called out to the ghosts, soon enough they appeared right before him, “Yes Yuu?”
“Is it alright if you guys help with replacing the wallpaper around the dorm, I’d appreciate it” The magicless asked them, the ghosts then got one wallpaper for each of them and fled to other spaces of the dorm
“Well, this old building isn’t gonna fix itself without some help provided” Yuujin thought as he proceeded to tear down the old wallpaper beside him and replaced it with a new one
Watching Solar outside guiding Epel with his instructions, he’ll probably invite the lilac-haired boy over at lunch at school some time
Ace and Deuce visited after some time and helped out with Ramshackle too, Yuujin brought out a red and purple paintbucket and instructed them to get paint on their hands and settle it on the porch's floor, marking their inclusion on rebuilding Ramshackle
The three visitors felt satisfied at their participation and Yuujin got Epel's contact, win-win for all of them basically

{Scene 2: Club Day!}
Today was the day for club-searching, having the first-years of each dorm the chance to sign up for a club that fits their interests
Solar and Yuujin were talking about which one to pick whilst walking through the school halls for the club classrooms
“I don’t know Yuu, you sure I can leave you alone once I sign up for Science Club?" The blonde asked him as they approached the location of the club
“Yeah, I’ll be fine, besides I got my trusty bat that you oh-so-blessed me with if I wanted to hit someone” He reassured him, Grim finished resting on Yuujin’s shoulder and jumped off
“*yawn* You two do your thingy, I, however, will pursue the goal of being the greatest mage!” The cat said before running off somewhere, “Does he know it’s a requirement to join a club?” Solar asked the magicless
“He probably blanked out at that part since it was Prof. Trein who told us that” Yuujin told him, both of them sighed before Solar opened the door to the club
There they saw Trey and a person with a bob haircut, “Solar, Yuu, I hope you two didn’t come here to chat” Trey jokingly said as he saw them, “Ha ha ha, no not really, I want to join” Solar told him
Trey pushed the sign-up form toward him and Solar wrote his name with his pen, Yuujin wanted to ask about this club’s activities in particular, “So, what do you guys usually do here?”
“Very glad you asked, the club activities we have include plant cultivation, chemistry experiments, and even cooking” Trey told him, “Huh that is lot” Yuujin commented, “Oui, which is why it’s been granted the name “Whatever Club” by others” The person with a bob haircut replied to the younger boy
“Nice to meet you, Prefect of Ramshackle, I am Rook Hunt! Le chasseur d'amour!” The man, now introduced as Rook, “Nice, but I don’t think I can do anything in this club, but I look forward to meeting you again” Yuujin said toward him, reaching out a hand to shake his, Rook reciprocated the action
“Well I should get going now, bye Solar” “Bye Yuu” Both of them conversed before Yuujin left the area, the boy looked at the next classroom he saw, “Spelldrive.. I heard from Solar that magic was a requirement here, maybe I should look at the next club..” He said in his thoughts before moving onto the next classroom
“Equestrian? I should check this out” The magicless boy muttered out loud before entering the room, he saw Riddle first and went to approach him
“Oh hey Riddle” He greeted, “Oh Yuu, signing up for clubs?” Riddle asked him as he turned around, “Yes actually, what do you do here?” Yuujin questioned
“We ensure that students maintain a good bond with horses, as well as taking care of them and such” A silver-haired boy explained as he came over to the two, Yuujin thought about the club and decided it wasn’t fit for him, “Mmm.. Maybe not today, sorry dude, there weren’t much horses in my world, you are..?” He asked the other
“Silver” “-Silver, I’ll see you guys next time” He said before he left, Riddle said out a goodbye when he exited the classroom
The magicless boy went to the next classroom and read the club, “Hmm, Pop Music Club, it speaks for itself” Yuujin thought before he entered the room
There he saw Cater, Lilia, a white-haired boy and a rouge-haired woman, “Hi Cater, hi Lilia and you two are..?”
“Ah Yuu, what a lucky sight!” Lilia exclaimed, “We’ve been hoping to get new members” Cater said to him
“Oh! You’re that Ramshackle prefect, right?” The woman tried to confirm, “Uh, yeah, that I am” Yuujin said, confirming her guess
“I’m Kalim Al-Asim, nice to meet you!” “And I’m Yannie Helina” The two unknown people, now known as Kalim and Yannie respectively
“Cool, what do you guys usually do here?” Yuujin asked the four, “We do our band meetups here, although there’s not much members so we’re hoping to get new peeps” Cater told him, strumming his guitar a little
“I don’t think I can join honestly, I haven’t played a single instrument in my life, sorry” “Besides, those who shall not be named didn’t get me anything to do as a hobby” Yuujin commented in his mind, “It’s fine, you can go if you want” Lilia reassured him
“Okay bye!” “Bye Yuu!” They greeted before he left the room, Yuujin moved onto the next club classroom and read the name, “Board Games Club.. My parents never bothered me to buy any board games back home, only a phone so I’ll pass on this one” He said in his mind before moving on to the next
“Basketball Club? Simple enough, I’ll check it out” Yuujin told himself as he entered the classroom and saw Ace first, “Oh hey Ace, you signed up for this club?” He asked, “Hell yeah I did!” The boy confirmed as he noticed Yuujin
“Cool, never knew you played basketball” Yuujin commented “Haha, I know right! You gonna join too?” Ace asked him, “Maybe but I only ever played soccer” The magicless told him, “Fine by me” Ace reassured
“Thanks Ace, bye!” “Bye Yuu!” They said to eachother before Yuujin moved onto the next classroom, “Hmm Track and Field? I’ll consider this one” He said as he entered the classroom, the boy saw Deuce in there
“Oh hey Deuce! You signed up for this club?” Yuujin asked as he approached the blue-haired boy, “Yeah I did, you gonna sign up as well?” Deuce guessed as he saw the magicless
“Mhm, I wanna exercise my feet since I already did the work on my arms” He confirmed, going over to the sign-up paper and wrote his name using a normal pen tucked in his school jacket pocket
“Nice, glad to have you here” Deuce said to him, “Hehe thanks” Yuujin replied back

{Scene 3: A Modelling Invite}
“Hey Yuu, remember when I said the Housewarden of Pomefiore invited me at their dorm? Well he said that I can bring anyone as long as they’re not being disruptive” Solar told them while they were lounging in Ramshackle, having nothing to do as there wasn’t any school that day
“Oh really? I’m guessing me and Grim are included huh?” Yuujin asked, Solar nodded and stood up to pick up Grim into his arms
“Yep” Solar left no words for the cat to complain and Yuujin was bored out of his mind so they all left the building and headed straight to the Hall of Mirrors
“Did you really have to include me, I’m fine at Ramshackle!” Grim complained as they treaded through the path “Well you can’t be left alone, who knows what you’d do in there” Yuujin told him
“Haha, so right” Solar agreed as they all walked, “So what’s this invite about?” The magicless decided to ask, “He told me it was to “boost my confidence, whatever that means” The blonde told him, looking at the side
“Do you feel insecure about anything?” The boy questioned again, “..Probably” Soon they all reached the Hall of Mirrors and went through the Pomefiore mirror
Grim looked around the surroundings, “Wow, this dorm looks so fancy schmancy!” He commented as he looked at the dorm building
“Didn’t Cater mention they focus on beauty and stuff like that?” Yuujin remembered, “Yeah but let’s go in” Solar said as they entered through the gates and into the building
Yuujin noticed a few amount of students were here and there, “Hello? Is your housewarden here?” Solar asked toward them as they entered, “Ah the person I expected to come, and you two are Yuu and Grim correct?” A pretty man with blonde hair and purple highlights approached the three
“Uh yeah, that’s who we are!” Yuujin confirmed, the man hummed in return, “My name is Vil Schoenheit, what a pleasure it is to meet you” He greeted toward them, “Now then, you three come with me to the ballroom”
All of them headed to the location and saw a bunch of meticulously prepared outfits, Solar felt a sweat bead from his head from the amount
“Let’s get started with this one first” Vil said as he picked out a lot of outfits for Solar to wear
Yuujin and Grim were made into judges and surprisingly, Solar looked good each and every one of it, both of them complimented it while Vil looked pleased at him
After all of that, Vil excused them to return back to Ramshackle and said goodbye to him, “He was nice, what do you think Solar?” Yuujin said, looking at Solar’s dead and tired expression unfazed
“..I don’t think my body is gonna be okay”

{Scene 4: Diasomnia Tea Party}
One day, Solar went into the Diasomnia mirror as Lilia texted him to invite him to a tea party
As he entered through the gates, he spotted a silver-haired boy, sleeping on the ground, the blonde approached him and shook him awake
“I’m sorry but is Lilia here?” He asked toward the boy, he then sat up straight and rubbed his eyes, “Oh.. Are you Solar?” He asked him
“Yes that I am, Silvey” The blonde blurted out, “Tristan talks about you guys during spring and winter break” He explained quickly for Silver, “Oh” is the only word the other said
“Ah Solar! Just the person I wanted to see, come follow me! You too Silver” Lilia called out as he approached the demon and led him to their kitchen, Silver following behind too
“We’ve heard much about you from Tristan! How fortunate it is to have you here” The bat fae told him as Solar sat down on the countertop chairs, with a crocodile-looking guy right beside him and Silver taking the seat on the left
“Thanks, who’s this crocodile guy?” Solar asked as he pointed toward him, “MY NAME IS SEBEK ZIGVOLT!” The lime-haired guy, now Sebek loudly introduced himself, Solar looked displeased at the volume
“Don’t yell, Sebek! Tristan said he’s not good with loudness!” Lilia told him, Sebek apologised quickly after and Lilia noticed the girl’s absence, “Speaking of Tristan, where is that girl?” He asked Silver
“Out of the dorm.. She said she was getting some books from the library..” Silver answered, the blonde sensed an awkward silence, “So what do you wanna talk about?” He asked
“Oh great idea! We should talk while I cook for us!” Lilia suggested, already reaching for the pan, both Diasomnia boys immediately get worried about that statement alone
“Uhm, I think we can still have a tea party without food..” Silver suggested, “Nonsense! I insist!” Lilia said as he started the stove, Solar was confused by their reactions as they chatted about things
It was only then when Lilia served the food Solar realised what they were worrying about, the food was.. beyond disfigured and possibly not edible anymore, “Hope you’ll like them!” Lilia said as he pushed Solar’s plate to him
The blonde raised his fork and poked the, can it be considered food anymore? with it, “Uhh, oh is that the time? It’s best I get going, Yuu is probably worried for me back at Ramshackle” Solar excused himself, saving his stomach from a possible nausea
“It’s late after all” Silver pointed out as he looked at his phone’s clock, Solar landed on the floor and went toward the exit before pausing and turning around, “Oh before I leave, if any of you wants to help with rebuilding Ramshackle, we’d appreciate it” He offered to the three
“Ah Sebek! This could work as your trust exercise while also making friends too!” Lilia told him, “If that’s what you want, then I’ll join in this activity!” He loudly proclaimed, “But you and that human should give me a reason to join first!” The half-fae told the demon
“Sure thing, croco-guy” Solar lightly teased as he left, “IT’S SEBEK!” Those were the last words Solar heard as he left the dorm
He soon came back to Ramshackle, greeting Yuujin and Grim in the lounge, who were watching something on the magicless' phone, “Oh Solar, where’d you go to?” Yuujin asked him
“Yeah! You keep leaving without explanation!” Grim said like a scolding parent, “Hehe, sorry, Lilia invited me over at Diasomnia once classes were finished” He told them both, removing his school jacket to tie onto his waist
“At least you’re here, can you brew us some tea?” “Sure thing”

{Scene 5: Surprise Tutor}
“I wonder if there’s any good stories here” Solar said in his mind as he looked through the library, he then heard muttering from a nearby table, "What's that sound?” He asked in confusion
He then approached the sound to see a white-haired boy with a headscarf, “Hello there, I don’t think I know you yet. Who are you?” Solar asked him from behind, apparently his appearance was a surprise since the boy quickly turned around and sighed in relief
“You’re that chaos demon from Ramshackle, right? Micah’s told me all about you!” He said as he remembered, long blonde hair, orange eyes that could pierce and a calm composure, “You haven't answered my question..” Solar reminded him, getting blinded by the positive light he shone at him
“Oh right, I’m Kalim al-Asim!” He introduced himself, “Okay, my name’s Solar Brytesky, what are you doing?” Solar asked the boy, looking over the books he had
“I wanted to study for myself on this upcoming test we have but.. I can’t understand it properly” He said as he showed the lessons they had for the quiz, Solar took hold of it and read the title
“Hm.. “Formulas to Creating Advanced Potions” This is easy cakes, what do you not understand?” He asked the boy, “The words are jumbly..” Kalim said, Solar raised an eyebrow at this and asked a careful question, “Do you have dyslexia?”
“What’s that?” Kalim asked, tilting his head at the new word, Solar stayed silent for a moment, “..Nevermind, here I’ll change the font of this book and see if you can read it properly now” He said as he applied his magic onto the book and gave it back to Kalim
The Scarabia housewarden checked the contents of the book and widened his eyes in surprise, “Woah! How did you do that!” He asked the demon, who looked proud of himself
“A simple spell, say, how about I tutor you sometimes? Micah also told me about your.. Unique test scores” Solar offered, grimacing at Micah's exaggeration back then but understood the problem, “Really? You’d do that for an upperclassman?” Kalim blinked his eyes to see if he was dreaming
“Haha but still, I’m still one year older, I don’t need anything from you, just visible understanding of your lessons” He said to the boy, “Wow thanks! Here’s my contact if you want to schedule some time!” Kalim said as he gave his contact to Solar, with the demon returning the action too
The blonde then got a chair from somewhere and started teaching Kalim what properties were needed and how to create it, after some time, they wrapped up and Kalim started packing
“Thanks for the help Solar!” The cheery boy said as he packed his books and left the library, “No problem, have a nice test, Kalim” Solar returned back, also leaving the library
As he went out, he noticed Colt somewhat waiting for him outside for some reason, “Oh hey Solar, I needed to talk to you about-” “Have a lucky day Colt, here’s my blessing for the day and I shall be off now” Solar cut him off and gave a blessing to him, leaving him behind after that
Colt was confused by this interaction since they didn’t usually act like this, “..What”
As Solar returned to Ramshackle after excusing himself to the library, he set his bag and went to the kitchen, “You seem to be in a good mood” Yuujin commented as he was watching something on his phone with Grim
“Am I? Think you’re seeing things?” Solar said with a gentle smile, “Nah but whatever got you cheery is alright” Yuujin told him, chuckling at the end as he continued watching with Grim
Solar shook his head and started cooking dinner in a good mood

{Scene 6: “Real Talk!”}
“Aaaa, I wonder if I’ll find somethin’ fun..” A person with teal hair and a black right hair streak entered the library with his hands on his head
“Hm?” He then noticed someone familiar hunched over books on a table, “That’s..” “GOLDFISHIE!” He called out to Riddle, “That voice..!” The red-haired boy reacted
“Floyd.. You did keep your word when you visited me in the infirmary huh?” Riddle looked at him, “I’m not getting myself caught in your own pace today!” He declared as he held his books close to him, remembering the times where he had to chase the taller boy
“Hehe, whaat is this? You’ve got nothin’ but complex books~” The taller boy looked over the books he had, “Ignore him at once..! Moreover he’s got the nerve to sit down! Sneaky..” Riddle said in his mind
“Waah, I don’t get it at all!” The teal-haired boy complained, “That’s because it’s pretty advanced magic..” Riddle explained to him, “Eh? Goldfishie, are you trying to get stronger?” The other asked him
“I am for higher than the top! As a dorm leader, it’s only natural!” Riddle said, only that it was a half-truth, “Well, the main reason I’m here is.. I wanted to know how to control and countermeasures against blot..” He said in his mind
“It’s just.. A lot has happened lately so..” Riddle told himself as he remembered the events that happened earlier that month, “I just don’t want to trouble everyone at my dorm anymore..” He muttered out loud
“So it’s a dorm leader thing huh?” The boy said lazily, “That’s a total no-no for mee~ Responsibility ‘n all that is a pain in the ass!” He commented
“I’m losing more and more focus..!” Riddle said in his mind, “Hey. If you keep being a nuisance, it’s off with your head, got it?” He said in a low volume, “Huuh!? How am I botherin’ anyone?” The other asked confusedly
“You are too L-O-U-D all the time! This is a library, not a lounge room!” Riddle whisper-scolded at him, the other laid his arms on the table and rested his head there, “Maan.. You’re angry already” The taller said and glanced at him
“Of course Goldfishie is a very hard worker~ So admirable~ That’s what I’m thinkin’ now” He teased? flirted? man I don’t know what he’s doing but it's working, “Suuper amazin’ and other things like that” He continued
Riddle felt his cheeks heat up from that alone, “I.. For you to say things like that Floyd.. Is hell freezing over?” He said, “I’d prefer if it rained!” The other replied and stretched his arms out
“I’m bored of talking already!” The taller one told him, “So you’re finally lea- HUH!?” Riddle cut himself off as his book was snatched by the teal-haired boy
“WAIT- I WAS GONNA USE THAT BOOK!!” “Let’s play tag~!” The taller teased and Riddle stood up from his seat, “Stop fooling around and give it back!!” Riddle scolded him as he went toward the teal-haired boy
“Aha~ Come and get it!” The teal-haired told him, “..Fine, I’ll indulge just this once and never again!” Riddle gave in and gave chase to the boy, “It turned into this after all!” He said out loud
They ran around the library before the headmage caught them, “You two! I told you to be quiet in here!” He scolded the boys, “GH! Sorry headmage!” Riddle being caught off guard by his sudden appearance before the two of them quickly casted out of the library
A certain curly-haired woman and a locs-haired guy watched the whole scenario and were left surprised, "So.. That just happened" "Let's just ignore that and focus on looking for books" "Right" The two chatted with eachother after that, ignoring the event that had happened

Bonus Scene
“You need more than strength to win a Spelldrive game” Leona said as he laid on his bed with Ruggie standing to the side, “You also gotta use this” The lion said as he pointed toward his brain
“Shyehehehe.. You're devious, Leona” Ruggie said to him, “I hope they're prepared” Leona responded, implying toward Diasomnia’s housewarden
“I'm taking everything” He replied as he looked smug in his smirk, looks like another disaster is waiting to come..
