The next day arrived swiftly. Alastor and his roommates were roused by a loud, clear sound. It seemed the Shepherd City organizers had installed small speakers in each room, as the same noise echoed from the other teens' quarters.
Alastor yawned, stretching his limbs and enjoying the feeling of relief that washed over him after a good night's sleep. A voice emanated from the speaker. Alastor recognized Austin's tone. He greeted them with a cheerful "Good morning" and instructed them to prepare for breakfast and the ATRE. Immediately after breakfast, they would proceed directly to the ATRE location. They had two hours to get ready.
Alastor and his roommates climbed out of bed and began their morning routines. With only one shower in the room, they decided to take turns. Josh volunteered to go first, followed by Alastor. Neither of them had much to do in terms of preparation. Alastor already had everything he needed stored within his inventory.
