Editor's note: As a way of getting out of the rut of "open thread in the dining hall. Open thread on the quad. Open thread in eating ON the quad", this is the first of what should be semi-regular listings of Random Events Happening Somewhere Around Malden.

These are NOT inherently plotty -- that is, they're listed here without specific things that are going to happen or anything like that. They can be USED for plot, no problem, but they're more intended as a list of potential things for people to be doing, rather than a "there's probably an evil villain here" stuff. Not all of these will be interacted with, of course, but they're there for people to use them. And if people DO have plots with them, well, the more the merrier.
