When his roommate failed to show up after a good hour of waiting, Silas decided it would be best to start unpacking his stuff, that way he wouldn't want to punch himself come morning. All in all it only took him a few hours of disorganized panic to get everything out of his bags and into their proper spots. When he had finished, Silas found the bag of chips he stashed in his bag earlier and proceeded to dig in as he sat down on the couch and flipped on a movie.

Much later there was a sudden knocking at the door. As Silas reluctantly left his place on the couch to answer, he gazed at the time. [color=8493ca][i]Wait, it's 11:50?! Who the hell knocks at midnight?[/i][/color] Fueled by his curiosity, Silas cautiously opened the door and was met by a student much larger and older than any other he'd seen prior. The senior told him about the 'Midnight Run', apparently it was some kind of tradition for first-years. His interest had been piqued, an opportunity to explore after dark sounded pretty awesome to Silas. The senior looked prepared to persuade if he was denied by the first-year, but there was no need as Silas had already resolved to go with him and join the run, What's the worst that could happen?

Silas joined the other first-years that had assembled outside of the dorm building just before the event leader, started spouting details on the tradition and what exactly the first-years were going to do. [color=8493ca][i]So... it's a race then.[/i][/color] Looking around, Silas saw a whole spectrum of students, some looked like they would pose little challenge whilst others looked like they were made solely for this type of thing. Although there were plenty of people who looked like they could easily claim victory, Silas would not let that dampen his own spirit. [color=8493ca][i]I'm going to run circles around them![/i][/color] He was determined to win, or at least come damn close.

At the sight of the flaming pillar, Silas darted into the forest. Trying to move quickly in the thick undergrowth without a light source proved to be his first mistake, as a gnarled tree root caught Silas's foot and sent him careening into the waiting soil. [color=8493ca]"Fuck..."[/color] he said under his breath as he tried to stand up and make a recovery, not wanting to be left behind. Lucky for him the trees seemed to thin out as he saw a small group of students travelling together on a worn path. Just when Silas had the group in sight, they dispersed, as the path split into many smaller trails. With time running out on making a decision, Silas couldn't help but both think and say [color=8493ca]"Time to take a chance..."[/color] as he steadied himself and prepared to choose a path, still disoriented slightly by his earlier fall.
