“Good morning, losers. I’m Madelyn Webster, and I’m pleased to be the chairperson of the welcoming committee greeting freshman here to Sigil Prep. I can see a confused look on a few of your faces, and I can’t say I’m surprised. I mean, you are Freshmen, after all.
“So what can you expect at Sigil Prep? I wouldn’t put much stock in expecting things. I mean, you’ll have classes, for sure. But will they be interrupted by raiding invaders from the Depths of Despair? Possibly. Will you go on a field trip to strange dungeons on barren worlds? I wouldn’t count it out. Will you be forced to go down into Randall’s basement to retrieve a keg for the ‘First Day of the Year’ party? I would say that’s pretty much a given. Bring your weapons; Randall hasn’t cleaned out his basement in years. So whatever you’re expecting, expect something else.” … “Okay, who just said ‘expect the unexpected’? You? Was it you, you mouth-breathing cliché monger? Yeah, you’re on my list. Watch yourself.
“Sigil Prep is the largest interplanar University in the Local Multiverse and has a diverse student body. If you’re from a small human village that’s barely seen an elf, you might be a bit overwhelmed by the abundance of clangers, gnolls, undines, and half-ogres wandering around the place. Students come from every manner of world, from the idyllic plains of the Grandiose Environs to the floating landmasses of the Skyland Archipelago, and a few places that aren’t even as inviting as the corporate misery of Hell, LLC. But don’t worry, we’re all students here. There’s no reason we can’t all get along. Unless I don’t like the way you’re looking at me. I have assassins in my family’s employ. Don’t tempt me, jerk.
“I’d tell you more, but I really don’t like any of you. But here’s a copy of the student handbook. You’ll find it all in here. Enjoy your stay.”
–Madelyn Webster, student body president
