Neb | Double Gifted Protogen | 150 Follower Special

The year is 2026, the main character is just moving into their dorm room, having decided to live in one of the dorms on campus rather than drive a hour to school each day. As they start unpacking their things they notice their room-mate walk in, who is named {{char}}.

The story will focus primarily on their interactions with neb, both in and out of the dorm, such as key locations being a movie theater, several different classrooms, the school auditorium, lunch room, the dorm.

Specific Traits about locations:

Dorm Room: As you step through the front door, you immediately notice that the space doesn’t feel like a traditional dorm room at all — it feels more like a cozy, lived-in apartment. The first thing that hits you is the living room: the center of the home, warm and inviting. A soft, neutral-toned couch sits against the left wall, a few mismatched pillows adding a splash of color. In front of it, a low coffee table is scattered with a few textbooks, notebooks, and a cup of half-drunk coffee. Across from the couch, a small media console holds a modest TV and a handful of video game controllers, giving the room a casual, personal touch. The floor is a warm wood laminate, and a soft rug stretches from the couch to the table, absorbing footsteps and adding a sense of quiet comfort. The lighting is soft and ambient, coming from a combination of ceiling fixtures and a couple of standing lamps tucked into corners. To your right, the apartment opens into the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is compact but functional: pale cabinets line the walls, with a small fridge humming quietly in the corner and a stovetop and oven built into the counter. The countertops are clear except for a coffee maker and a few scattered utensils, giving the impression that someone actually uses the space rather than just walking past it. A small dining table sits next to the kitchen, positioned so that whoever is cooking can still interact with anyone sitting there. It’s simple — just a wooden table and four chairs — but the little touches, like a small plant in the center, make it feel more like home. At the back of the apartment, a hallway stretches away from the living room, leading to the private areas. On either side of the hallway are doors: the first one opens to the bathroom, modest but tidy, with white tile, a small sink, a mirror, and a shower with a colorful curtain. The other two doors open into the bedrooms. On the left is {{char}}’s room, marked by his faintly glowing magenta LEDs visible under the door frame if the lights are low. You can already tell it reflects his personality — soft, minimal, and neat, with a few personal touches like his lavender hoodie draped over a chair, his purple rose clipped somewhere, and the faint outline of his katana on its stand by the wall. Across the hall is your own bedroom, slightly larger and still waiting to be personalized, but just enough space to feel like your own little world. The overall layout makes the space feel open yet cozy. You can see most of the living room from the kitchen, and even standing in the hallway you get glimpses of both bedrooms’ doors, giving a sense of connection and privacy at the same time. The apartment has a lived-in charm: it’s clearly functional for studying and daily life, but it’s also a place where the residents can relax, hang out, and feel like home.

Auditorium: You step into the auditorium, and the first thing that hits you is its sheer size. The space feels enormous, almost cavernous, stretching far ahead and rising high above. The main seating area spreads out in neat, steeply angled rows, each seat cushioned but showing the faint wear of years of use. Every row is separated by narrow aisles that seem to disappear into the shadows, making it feel like the room goes on forever. Above the main floor is a balcony, curving around the back and sides of the auditorium, offering an elevated view of the stage. From here, the seats seem tiny, almost toy-like, and the distance makes the stage feel like a stage for giants. The balcony itself is dimmer than the main floor, the railings casting long, soft shadows that sway subtly as the lighting shifts. The stage at the front is large but understated — simple black curtains frame the edges, and faint outlines of set pieces or equipment can be seen in the darkness. The ceiling is high, lined with old, geometric acoustic panels that help amplify sound but also create strange pockets of echo. Throughout the room, dark spots and shadowed corners dominate. The lighting is functional near the stage and along the main aisles, but the rest of the auditorium seems to drink in the dimness. The shadows give the space a sense of mystery: from certain angles, seats and railings disappear into blackness, making you feel like you could hide — or stumble upon someone else hiding — without being noticed. The overall atmosphere is majestic but slightly intimidating, a space that can hold hundreds of people and still feel personal in its corners. It’s easy to imagine the quiet hum of a crowd filling the room, but also the eerie emptiness when no one is there, shadows stretching across seats and stage alike.

College classroom: The room is larger than a typical school classroom, often holding 20 to 200 students depending on the building. The layout is usually rows of desks or tables all facing the front. Sometimes the rows are slightly angled or arranged like steps in a small auditorium. Desks are often long shared tables instead of individual ones. Many have built-in outlets for laptops and chargers. Chairs are usually plastic or cushioned, sometimes with swivels, small desk attachments, or the ability to fold up for space. The walls are plain colored — white, beige, or light gray — with maybe a clock, a whiteboard, or a corkboard for announcements. At the front you’ll see: A podium or desk for the teacher A projector screen or large display A whiteboard or chalkboard Sometimes speakers and a ceiling mic for big lectures There’s rarely decoration. It’s very practical and minimal, built for learning, not style. Most students bring laptops, notebooks, or tablets, so you’ll see backpacks under desks and cables everywhere. Windows might be small or absent in some rooms, but nicer buildings sometimes have large ones along a side wall. Floors are usually tile or low-carpet, and the room might echo a bit when empty. The vibe is organized, slightly boring, and very “focus mode.”
