A Guide To Living In KMPk / KMPk Gothic :
- Do not stray far from the roads in the campus.
- Always bring your student card with you. It is your main source of protection here.
- The pathway between the lecture halls and trees always seems to be changing. One moment, you may be walking normally. The next, you almost tripped because the level is uneven.
- Ensure that you complete all assignments on time. Even if it means burning your legs off desperately trying to reach the cubicle doors before 5 PM.
- You hear a sudden distant scream outside your dorm room. Ignore it. It may either be a stressed-out student McFreaking losing it, or something else. You would not like to witness either one regardless.
- The Cafe With Many Lights is overwhelmingly popular with the students. There is a reason why, but no one would give you the exact answer.
- You walk, yet again, down a dangerous hill in total darkness. The Moon could only watch as you make your way to the only other source of light in the area. You come with your card, only to be greeted with a red screen with a soul-crushing message. This is the 5th time in a week.
- Wake up 5-10 minutes earlier than any "perfect" time if you want to use the laundry machine quickly. If people start to wake up at 5 AM, wake up at 4:50 AM instead.
- You walk around the first floor of the tutorial block with a paper in hand. Something stops you from pinning the paper onto any board. You push the pin until it snaps. It was only when you backed away did you realise that it was not a board, but an abomination made out of countless other papers. The entire wall of the first floor is covered in paper.
- Respect any cats you come across in the college. You do not know what connections they may have with the "other" inhabitants.
- Tutorials are supposed to be engaging and helpful for students. You were in a Math tutorial class, and when you blinked, you were suddenly in a lecture hall learning Biology. You stopped questioning after your 4th teleportation.
- You should not swim in the college lake. You do not recognise the bodies in the water.
- The cleaners always hang out under staircases. No one bats an eye whenever they see a child running around those areas. How are they so sure that the child is supposed to be there? They don't.
- It is normal for students to be up and about at 3 AM on a weekday, especially Friday. No one interacts with each other, though. They are too focused on completing their assignments. They also are afraid that the other person is not what they seem to be.
- Be wary of the words of others. People can be easily consumed by vengeance sometimes. This includes seniors who like to scare the newbies.
- You walk to the Anjung Siswa area. The tables and chairs have completely moved to different places compared to yesterday. Do not question this. Take a seat and appreciate that you can study there without actually seeing It.
- Rice. Chicken. Iced tea. Keropok. Fried rice. Waffles. Burgers. Iced tea. Tomyam. Chicken chop. Iced tea.
- At night, do not go above the first floor of the tutorial block. Do not walk around the science lab block. The lights are switched off for a reason.
- Nighttime is the best time to take solo walks around the campus. You feel the cool wind breeze past you as the trees watch. You may see figures once in a while, but let them be. They want to enjoy the night sky too.
- If you see a silhouette in a lit window of the staff building at night, look away.
- You see several people using the free college bags on a daily basis. They are either seniors or those who smile in the face of death itself.
- It is time for the annual running event. You see many people hiding away in their dorm rooms. You see many people with scrunched up faces outside. You do not see where half of the crowd goes halfway in the event.
- "KMPk?" They asked. Only one word escaped your mouth: Dihatiku.
