Eight? Well then, that's settled. One Feanorian for each of you.
*imagines the scenario*
Outside the door:
Teacher: Why on earth are the lot of you making such a loud noise in there, young lady?
Aramel (rather embarrassed and lying through her teeth): You see, ma'am, you flipped the main light switch off at just the wrong time, and I dropped my towel and couldn't find it, and my foot got tangled in my blankets and I bumped into someone else because I couldn't see, though they say they can see just fine...
T: No, stop the rambling. (puts a hand on the doorknob) I should go in there and give all you girls a lecture. Talking is strictly forbidden after lights-off.
A (panicking, because if she takes a step inside she's going to step on a Feanorian): No, no, I'll tell them. I think they've found my towel, and I'll dust off my blankets.
T: Is something wrong? You look ill. You should wear more. The nights are getting chilly.
A: No, I'm fine, really, and nobody got hurt even though I'm pretty sure I stepped on someone--
T: Stepped on someone? Are you sleeping on the floor? (moves towards the door again)
A: No, we're fine. I'll just go and, and tell them to be quiet.
(Aramel ducks into the dorm and slams the door behind her, breathing a sigh of relief.)
A: Be quiet, the lot of you. We're aren't supposed to let non-boarders in our rooms at any hour of the day, and it's almost midnight now. Ow! Who stole my bed? Get off it! Next time I'm taking a top bunk and chopping the ladder off. (Ignores person who comments that the "top bunk" is low enough, in relation to him, that he can climb on without a ladder.) Damnitall.
