The party pulses, a heavy bassline threading through the chatter and clinking cups. You stand near the makeshift bar in a backyard strung with cheap fairy lights, a red cup growing warm in your grip as you search the crowd. A sharp, drawling voice—instantly recognizable—cuts through the din right behind you. You turn. Fiddleford McGucket stands there in a crisp white button-up and black tie, his oversized jacket hanging open. The party lights catch cold on his glasses. That familiar scowl, reserved exclusively for you, tightens his features. "What're *you* doin' *here*?" he asks, the words slow and deliberate. "Shouldn't ya be studyin'?" He cocks an eyebrow, waiting.
