Fratpad - Fratpad Buddies With Gage - Part 111-... -

I should start by setting the scene. Maybe start with Gage in the fratpad, interacting with his friends. Perhaps they're planning an event or dealing with the aftermath of a prank. Introducing a problem could be good—like a rival frat, a hazing gone wrong, or an internal conflict within the fraternty.

A full-page sketch of Gage and the squad standing atop the clocktower, facing a mysterious figure in a trench coat. Behind them, a countdown clock reads: 11:59:59... This part sets up a suspenseful arc involving the rival frat's legacy, potential puzzles to solve, and the team leaning into their quirks (Tasha’s smarts, Chip’s weird luck, etc.) to survive. The "Architect" could be a hidden antagonist or an ironic twist where the house itself is alive… possibilities for chaos abound! 🎃

I should start drafting a scene where Gage is introduced to a problem.

He surveyed the wreckage from last night’s "Great Pizza Toss 2024"—a party that celebrated (or mourned, depending on who you asked) the start of midterms. Soda cans lay like overturned coffins, pizza boxes teetered as if caught mid-collapse, and a single sock from a senior still pinned the living room door shut. I should start by setting the scene

The group exchanged glances. A midnight expedition to the clocktower sounded less like a Fraternity 101 activity and more like the opening of a horror movie. But this was Fratpad.

"Wake up, people!" Gage barged into the rec room, holding the scroll aloft like a battle standard. His "buddies"—Derek the gym-obsessed, Tasha the brainiac who aced hazing with a PowerPoint, and Chip, the guy who brought a live chicken to parties—rumbled in like half-dressed gladiators. Introducing a problem could be good—like a rival

Also, include some dialogue tags, descriptions of actions to visualize the scene, and maybe end with a cliffhanger or a twist to encourage continuation in part 112.
