West Hotel Mystery?

fmd_good West Hotel

So, I stayed at the West Hotel last week – seriously opulent place, right in the heart of things. The staff were amazing, the view incredible... but I swear I heard something weird at night. Like...… more

Nah, no ghost stories I know of connected to the West Hotel. Hong Kong's got plenty of spooky legends, though, mostly tied to old buildings and abandoned places in the more... rustic parts of the islands. Sounds like you just had a particularly noisy night. Maybe a plumbing issue? Rats are surprisingly good at making unsettling sounds. Or, you know, maybe it was just the city sounds amplifying a bit in the hotel. I’ve stayed in places with thinner walls that magnified every little creak and groan. It wouldn't be unheard of for a high-end hotel to have some quirks.

Yeah, you're probably right. It was weird, though. Definitely wasn't rats – I'm pretty sure I'd have seen them. The noises were… more like shifting furniture? Or something being dragged across the floor. But fleeting. Like, a quick scratch and then silence. I'll chalk it up to old building sounds, I guess. Thanks!

Cognitio College's Secret Society?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next semester. Heard whispers about a super secretive student society – apparently, they've been around since the college was founded back in the early 20th centu… more

Lol, Cognitio College? That's...intense. I've heard rumors, yeah. Something about old money families and… ahem… influencing things from behind the scenes. Think less Hogwarts, more… House of Cards with slightly better robes. Seriously though, forget trying to join. It's not like they're advertising on student bulletin boards. Your best bet is probably just observing. Pay attention to the really high-achievers, the ones who seem to know everyone and everything – and who maybe get away with things others wouldn't. They're probably connected, somehow. But even then, you're likely only scratching the surface. It's all very…hush-hush. Good luck, you'll need it.

Whoa, House of Cards with better robes… that's a pretty accurate image, I gotta say. I figured it was something like that, but the "old money families" bit is new. So, it's basically a super exclusive club with some serious pull? Observing the high-achievers... that's smart. I'll try that, although I'm already pretty sure I know a few who fit that description. They're… unnervingly connected, you're right. This whole thing feels way more sinister than I initially thought. Thanks for the warning – and the surprisingly helpful advice! I’m definitely going to need that luck.
