Ch 1c - Entering the university (Prof. Porter, Jack Kenning)

On the lunar calendar, it is the twelfth of July, 1920; in three days' time, the good people of China will celebrate 中元節, the festival of the dead. The great festival is an ancient tradition shrouded in dark rumours and whispered tales. Now, this festival will be celebrated publicly in Peking city, open to the gazes and inquiries of foreigners. During this month, the 阴气, the aura of death, is at its strongest; it will be during this month that the dead may influence the living realm with an eldritch plot of horror and madness...

Ch 1c - Entering the university (Prof. Porter, Jack Kenning)

As the duo entered the grounds of the university, Professor Endymion Porter stared at the magnificent structure around him, the day felt cold. A coldness swept over him, it was a coldness that felt at once immediately unfamiliar and intimate at the same time. he shivered, as he had gotten off the train feeling cold...but now, this coldness had reached a crescendo as he entered these hallowed grounds with a numbness in his neck.

Jack Kenning felt nothing except a deep weariness as he walked in through the doors, he would have to pretend that he was nothing but a honest-to-goodness professor, he had to resist the whispers of his id to steal and to adjust to the unfamiliarity of his new environment. This place wasn't somewhere he was used to.
