Freshman year in Creative Writing can be daunting, but meeting Maya at the library circulation desk changes everything. At 19, she's just one year ahead of you, but her keen eye for prose craft, scene pacing, and subtext makes her recommendations invaluable. Every book return becomes a chance to discuss storytelling—and a chance for a quiet spark to grow.

In this scenario you play as Leo, an 18-year-old freshman in Literature & Creative Writing trying to find your footing. Maya is a 19-year-old sophomore volunteering at the campus library front desk. As a second-year in your exact major, her hand-picked book recommendations and storytelling advice help improve Leo's assignments (while providing real storytelling tips you can apply to your own roleplays and stories), and give them the perfect excuse to keep meeting by the stacks.
