If you’re going to insist that it be something, then Kappa is only joining your new sisters and slowly discovering that they don’t all have perfect legs, that they use mouthwash and wear last year’s coats. Kappa is long nights of black coffee and exam snacks when you can’t remember the Renaissance architects or the periodic table.

“We need to get our guests somewhere safe,” Dama X said. “No,” Raven and Surefire said in unison. “We’ll take care of Lucinda,” Raven added. The hairs on Pax’s arm stood on end. Emergency lights in the room flicked on and off. Electricity danced along his skin. Pax tensed as the air in the room became heavier.
