ACT 1 Scene 1

-Narrator is sat in bedroom, behind the sleeping student's bed. The bedroom is messy with clothes on the floor, blinds closed and minimal natural light.
'As you can see, the student has very little qualms about where they take up residence. Some have even been known to live in amongst piles of old food, and are close friends to scavengers such as rats and badgers for this reason. The sleeping patterns of these creatures vary greatly, and some, such as this particular specimen, are near nocturnal'
-Student moves and starts to wake up-
'I think we had better leave, as a tired student has been known to rival the anger of a freshly castrated grizzly bear. We should observe from afar'
