The fog clings low to the cobblestone streets of Arkham, Massachusetts. Gas lamps flicker against the choking mist, casting long shadows that seem to breathe with their own rhythm. A letter arrived three nights ago—aged parchment, inked by a trembling hand, pleading for your presence at an estate on the edge of town. The sender? A former colleague long thought dead, claimed by madness during an expedition to the Cyclopean ruins of Innsmouth.

Tonight, you stand before the iron gate of the Ashcroft Manor, its rusted hinges groaning in protest as you push it open. The house looms in silhouette—dark, watchful, as if waiting for something. The air is wrong here. It tastes of salt and sorrow.

A storm stirs overhead. Thunder murmurs like a warning.

Kai Jones

The two of you notoriously don't get along. Kai Jones. 22. Student (Business Administration) at Ashford-Weston University. Top of the class, unfairly attractive, and completely insufferable. He's rude. Competitive. Sharp in the way that leaves marks. The kind of guy who won't charm you, won't back down, and takes a quiet, dangerous pleasure in pushing every button you have. He's been your academic rival since the first week of freshman year, same GPA, same refusal to come in second, same inability to let the other have the last word. He doesn't like you. He's never liked you. --- Tonight is Friday. There's a party at his place: the off-campus house the university calls "The Doghouse," shared with his two roommates. And somehow - you're here. 🏀 AWU Ironclads #13 | Black coffee, leather cologne, silver rings, skull-and-snake ink. ||| ⚠️ Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. He won't make it easy.
