LOCATIONS
Your home away from home for the winter break, Rosenblum is the most historic building on campus, with the exception perhaps of the church. And with the storm raging outside, you had better get used to it and what it has to offer.
HALL/BALLROOM
Upon entry to Rosenblum, the first thing that strikes the observer is the main hall, a broad and open space with hardwood floors, hardwood walls, and a number of paintings on every one of those walls. Many of them are dour - images of stern former headmasters, high and rough seas, and beautiful gardens during terrible storms. At the back of the hall, two staircases lead up to the second floor.
DINING HALL
Hall is a strong word for the dining room, but it isn't wrong, at least in the sense that it consists of a table where one might eat. A single, long table occupies the space, just about long enough to fit all of you in, should you choose to dine together. The walls are lit, like most of the building, with gas lamps, though candles and candelabras are available for... mood lighting.
KITCHEN
There's no one here to cook for you, it seems, but there's still a fully-stocked kitchen! Depending on how much money your parents pay for your tuition you may not have much experience in here, but luckily there are several antique cookbooks near the stove! Which is good, because the microwave in here is so old that it has dials and works maybe... three out of ten times you try to get it to start.
LOUNGE
Want to watch TV? Hang out on a bunch of comfy leather furniture? That's what this room is for! Lots of furniture for comfortable reading or hanging out, with a large CRT television to one side, and a big working fireplace as well. The cable is out, but there's plenty of videotapes! Lots of old black and white movies, mostly, but there's some old educational tapes from the 90s if you look through the shelf for long enough! As long as you can figure out how the VHS works, of course, ya Gen Z kids. Maybe you can ask the Guidance Counselor to teach you.
BILLIARDS ROOM
Not very ladylike, is it? But if you want to play pool/snooker/billiards? There's tables in here! It smells like cigarettes real bad, and there's what's clearly an emptied former bar in the corner, but at least someone's thought to bring in a ping-pong table in the years since we invented feminism.
CONSERVATORY
At the front of the house is the two-story Conservatory, a glass-walled multi-purpose space with a lot of struggling plants and a cool balcony on the second floor. Good for watching the snow, and also probably has the best acoustics in the place!
BEDROOM BLOCKS
Each block of bedrooms features five bedrooms, each one capable of comfortably fitting both its main canopy bed and a second similarly comfortable bed stored in the closet. There are no enforced bedroom assignments, and each room can accommodate two people in separate beds or, frankly, they can share the main bed, if they're feeling it. But if you want to use the floor, you could have a bunch of girls in one room. It's a little stuffy in these rooms, but that's normal.
Each room includes plenty of closet space, two desks, and an attached bathroom with toilet, bathtub, and sink.

STUDY
Where the Guidance Counselor lives! Isabella can be found here during the day, but the door is locked at night.

LIBRARY
While it's not the campus library, this library includes shelves upon shelves of classic literature and science books. Everything seems dated to or before the sixties or so! The shelves are laid out in a convoluted way, and there's not a lot of standing room, and certainly no reading room in here. Plenty of dark spaces and blind corners, though.
THE CHURCH OF SAINT MELANGELL
While she may be a slightly obscure saint, the church is a very large and historic building, and is the point where the passage out of Rosenblum Hall lets out! Stained glass windows, plenty of pews, the works - it's used as a backup space when a guest speaker is too famous for one of the theaters, after all.
THE CAFETERIA
Tired of the limited options at Rosenblum Hall? Looking for one of those glorified microwave meals they call dinner for students on the meal plans? Look no further! The kitchens are fully stocked with ingredients and prepared frozen food, and while the food stations may be around, there's nothing stopping you from manning the omelet station yourself, you know? Investigation of this area won't turn up anything notable, but it's here!
THE LIBRARY
The real deal school library! Modern books, modern solutions. You might want to unplug the book detectors, since the power is off to the computers, but any book is yours to see! ... Mostly. While the main dedicated section to campus and local history is open, the Monroe Collection is in a locked room, with no obvious way in. The first two floors are basic fiction and nonfiction, and the third is an archive of microfiche and, perhaps thankfully, a bounty of more modern VHS tapes for the TV in the lounge!
THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
This building is currently locked and dark, except for the light in what one might recognize as the Headmistress's office. The windows and doors are all shut, locked tight, and effectively indestructible - much like the ones at Rosenblum Hall. No points for guessing that it might be a little while before you get to poke around in here, so any attempts to enter can be handwaved as not working.
This section of buildings is to the south of the Central Quad.
STEM CLASSROOMS
Got an itch to do some math? This is the place for you! Many of the classrooms are locked, but you can find a math room or two open, as well as the science labs - Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. You know, if you want chemicals or weights or dissection tools!
The entrance to this building from the tunnels is on the lower floor, behind a painting of Ingrid Monroe.
HUMANITIES CLASSROOMS
History! Language arts! All the art supplies the art budget can get you! All these and more can be found in the classrooms here. The art rooms are well-stocked with materials for all kinds of self-expression, up to and including murder if no one can catch you!

EXTRACURRICULARS
This is where all of the clubs meet, at least for organizational purposes. If you want a resource from one of the on-campus clubs, you can dig for it here! Yes, you can steal A/V equipment and anime if you want. Some of the club rooms, though, might have some interesting things for you, depending on what you're looking for...
The entrance to this building is in the basement, which is... kinda dusty and nasty, and you probably haven't been down here before. Thankfully the door to the actual building was left open over the break!
Athletic activities and the like are at the north end of campus! The air has stilled here completely, but there's still a new path of the tunnels below campus that lets out at the Stables.
STABLES
HORSES ON CAMPUS: FIFTEEN!!! There are horses. There are supplies for riding horses. These horses are so bored. This is also where any other club animals are held, but mostly it's facilities for horses and horse accessories. Please take them out onto the field they'll be so grateful.
FIELD
Where all the sports happen! Soccer, volleyball, softball, axe throwing... you name it and it can be played on grass, it's probably doable out here! There's no mystery-related evidence out here, I fear. Just vibes and gains.
ATHLETIC CENTER
And for your indoor sports, there's the Athletic Center! There's the normal current pool, gym facilities (including laundry machines!), a basketball court... there might be things to find in here!
And if you're not interested in looking through any of that, well... the basement is unguarded.
To the south of the classrooms, the Arts Complex includes a few new buildings, and takes you to the southern edge of campus, right as the trailhead to go southeast to the beach!
INGRID MONROE PERFORMING ARTS COMPLEX
A state-of-the-art theater building, constructed in very recent years! There are many supplies obtainable inside (including a medical station), as well as the main theater and black box theater areas.
CLOCK TOWER
Oh good, it's where Vanity died! If you want to go press F in there, I suppose. A tall tower with a bell at the top. One of the more historical parts of campus.
There's a black cat who lives here named Bernie. Everyone loves her and she loves that everyone loves her, and she's still here. Absolutely no indication that anything's wrong. She loves pets and tuna.
