New Hope University School of Ultimates Campus, Main Quad:

The main quad is the central location for Ultimate Students during the school year. Consisting of four buildings surrounding a beautiful, open grassy area, the main quad has all the amenities of a modern university with all the comforts of home! High-speed, wireless internet is available throughout the main quad. All buildings have both outdoor entrances and are linked by underground passages, for those days it's too cold to go outside.

The key locations are:

Clinton Dorm: This recently renovated structure contains student living spaces. Each dorm 'room' contains a small living area, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a mini-kitchen. Dorm rooms are spacious, with out-facing windows and ample closet space.

Each dorm room is single-occupancy and is designed for privacy and comfort. Doors to each room lock automatically, and only each occupant will be given the appropriate keycard for access. All dorm rooms are on the fifth floor of this five-story building, with beautiful window views overlooking the quad. All students live in close proximity but without roommates, creating a sense of community but also providing quiet, personal spaces for quiet 'me-time.'

The ground floor of Clinton Dorm contains common areas frequently used by students for informal meetings, study space, and quiet reflection. There is a large student lounge with couches and a wide-screen television. Nearby, there is a computer lab stocked with modern photo and video manipulation, word processing, and statistics software. Finally, a small zen garden lies near the entrance in a high-ceiling solarium, filled with beautiful ferns, mosses, and bracken.

Floors two through four are not in use and students may not access them for any reason.

Potential murder weapons: Each kitchen is stocked with a variety of stabbing and blunt implements. Dorm room windows open easily and could be used to push or toss a classmate to their death. Computer lab is stocked with various wires, easily used for hanging or strangulation.

Collins Gymnasium: This modern, clean gym is located directly across the quad from the dorm. Features include a large, well-stocked weight room, a variety of aerobic equipment including elliptical machines and treadmills, various dance/yoga studios, four racquetball courts, and a natatorium. Students are encouraged to make any use of the gym that they wish: it is accessible and open twenty-four hours a day. Spare gym clothes will be provided upon request.

Potential murder weapons: The weight room contains literally hundreds of blunt instruments! Also, the natatorium has no lifeguard, and its cleaning supplies can be highly poisonous.

Worrell Student Union: The two-story student union is home to meeting rooms ideal for clubs or informal get-togethers. It also contains the cafeteria, serving delicious, fresh food mooning, noon, and night. Our kitchens are entirely automated, set up to deliver a constantly shifting array of dishes. Tuesday is burrito night! Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available.

Finally, the union contains our student stores, which not only sells textbooks for all courses, but also any items students may need. Make sure to pick up a T-shirt with the school colors to wear to the next New Hope University basketball game! Go Bear Cubs!

Potential murder weapons: The student stores contains anything a bright, creative student would possibly need to commit murder!

Hazel Academic Suite: This modern building serves as the location for general-education classes. Classrooms are spacious, naturally lit, and designed with a modern eye toward mobility and learn-sharing. The central auditorium, which comfortably seats over 100, is where students will meet for lectures as well as any important school-wide announcements or assemblies.

The basement of the H.A.S. contains a supply area with extra teaching supplies. It also houses the laundry room, which will be accessible to all students during daylight hours.

Potential murder weapons: All desks and chairs are able to be wielded as weapons. Also, I don't know... some of those industrial washers and dryers are pretty big, you could throw someone in there, or something.

Central area: Finally, the middle of the quad is an open, grassy area. It's not uncommon for students to relax with a game of pick-up frisbee or by tossing around a football. Please pay no attention to the large monolith located directly in the middle of the quad, nor to the feelings of foreboding and dread that increase as you move closer to it.

Potential murder weapons: None.


The assistant was amused to find the graduation paperwork literally pinned to the office door with a dagger. The paperwork was unsigned, of course, but this time, on the signature line, was the scrawled message: Until we both both burn.

"How melodramatic can you be?" the assistant thought.

The assistant unlocked the office door and entered, immediately walking to the clipboard on the nearby desk and writing another name on it.

They were coming in. The newest round of freshmen. The foot soldiers they'd be recruiting in the war between the generations, between the pampered young and the cynical old.

Things were looking good.
