A pack of Sorority Sisters on vacation in the big city.

Dr Pario clicked on a video file showing a Hotel Penthouse with a pack of young women going about their business, apparently getting ready to go out on the town. Pario's team had managed to tap into the hidden cameras that hotels sometimes put up to help catch people stealing towels or artwork, but she was surprised that there was audio... maybe one of the hotel security people was utilizing these systems for more personal uses? Pario couldn't help but smirk at the thought.

Either way, from the conversation in the video it became apparent that they were all part of a Sorority and were vacationing over winter break. This footage must be from the first day, Pario thought, this hotel wasn't too far from where the Tower first appeared either!

This was a great find, much of the area directly surrounding the Tower remained inaccessible and there was scant footage from the first day. The cell phone towers were overloaded once everyone tried to make calls to loved ones at the same time, so not even the random person waving a phone around wildly and uploading to the internet had been that common.

Pario continues to study the footage...

(Note: This side story is open to all to add on to with the understanding that the characters will meet some sort of fate at the hand of the Towerlings. Branches can be quite a few chapters, but I'd rather this not get more developed than the main story.)
