            escape powder would work better since there are still monsters in the dungeon (as seen in the link)

    • Jackson

      July 4, 2011 at 9:23 am | #

      I have a similar model too, but the PM dot and Alarm dot are on the left side. It appears to be 3AM from the exterior lighting, so I can only conclude that this clock’s dots mean something different.

          I’ve had some alarm clocks where the dot meant PM, and others where the dot meant AM. I’m going to take a stab and guess that one of those dots means the alarm is set, and the other means it’s AM.

    • HiEv

      July 4, 2011 at 5:08 pm | #

      Actually, my clock is just like that one. The “PM dot” is in the upper left, the “alarm dot” is in the upper right, and the “battery backup is dead/missing dot” is in the lower left.

    This line really makes me wonder WHERE ELSE she’s woken up. We’ve had her in a closet and on the floor in-front of her dorm room door. Considering how much a booze hound she is, I’d kinda like to see some of her past blackouts.

    • Undrave

      Do RA get a room to their own with no roomate?

      • shoeboxjeddy
        shoeboxjeddy
        July 4, 2011 at 4:49 am | #

        Yeah, RAs don’t have roommates in the vast majority of setups. They have to get up at random times in the night to deal with “incidents” and that would be annoying for a roommate. The power dynamic would also be quite bad between the two roommates if one just lived there and one was “in charge” of the whole floor. And finally, it’s considered a major perk of the job (which makes up for the generally lousy pay) to get paid room and board.

        Of course, there could be any number of residence halls where none of these things are true, but they usually are.

    If Billie stays there until morning, isn’t there a high probability that Ruth will go to the closet and open it? I say she should take her chances and sneak out now when Ruth is sleeping.
