The passenger train known as the Grand Miskatonic Shuttle arrives in Dunwich, New Hampshire at the crack of dawn, delivering several superpowered teenagers into the sleepy little New England town.
There is a waiting room for arriving freshmen, just off the train platform, containing such things as plastic-covered couches, vending machines, an aged pinball game, and four likely mutants who must've arrived earlier.
One of them is an improbably fit boy in a too-small hoodie with orange hair peeking out, laying on a couch with earbuds in his ears, bobbing his head to the music only he can hear.
Another is a tiny androgynous pink-haired girl wrapped in a lab coat, with her nose buried in a textbook.
Opposite the boy, on the same couch, an athletically-built Asian girl with vivid red hair appears to be sleeping.
