The University was founded on ordinary, flat ground in the late 1800s in the country of New England. No one knows its original name. The fairy hill came later, around the 1920s. For the unknowing, Elsewhere University--EU or Elsewhere U for short--is a typical school, albeit with a few quirks. Iron washers on strings are given to all the freshmen. Green is noted as bad luck, but it's still the school colors (although the actual shades change frequently). Everyone must go by false names and never, ever say their true names. Ever.

About a third of the campus knows of the Gentry, the Fair Folk, the Good Neighbors, the Lords and Ladies. Call them what you will, call them even by your own culture's name for beings like them, for that is how they may appear to you, but always with reverence. Hailing from a magical world dubbed the Elsewhere, Fae come in all shapes, sizes, and scuttles of life.

A human may be unexpectedly swapped with a Changeling Fae. It happens. The Treaty says no severe harm shall come to or from the Changeling, and that the Taken human may be retrieved at the end of the semester. However, human, Fae, and Other will be caught up in a potentially disastrous Changeling exchange that will lead to an emergency rescue mission in the Elsewhere. Those on both sides of the divide will be tasked with helping one another with wit, bravery, knowledge, diplomacy, and of course, Deals.

To get the other side of the story, now that I think of it, it would be easiest to just chat with anyone who came into contact with Anna Monday. Trying to read Anna Monday's perspective would probably result in a similar affect to touching: debilitating disorientation, instability, temporary loss of touch with reality, too scattered information, not for the faint of heart. Fennel (Ambrose) was doing a sort of ghost hunter thing and would be the expert to talk to about ghosts having unfinished business, Red (Chloe) sleuthed in the Library and put two and two together about Anna Monday’s past as Alayne’s sister, and Taurina (Asa) lead the rescue expedition through Anna Mondays territory and saw its power firsthand. The first two can be found on campus in week 3 and 4, and all three are probably going to be on campus in week 5.
