The Stonewood Male Dormitory had, in the past few years, encountered a few issues of theft from the laundry room - usually so people could grab an article of clothing belonging to someone they had a grudge with in order to cast some sort of revenge curse upon them. The epidemic reached such proportions last year that the school decided, over the summer term, to lay a protective curse on the six washing machines and six dryers in the basement laundry room: anyone removing any article of clothing that did not belong to them would be transformed based upon the reasons for the theft by an incredibly powerful curse.
Should the person be stealing clothes in an effort to cast a curse upon their owner, the thief would themselves become exact duplicates of the clothing they had stolen, and both the thief and the original clothing would be returned to the washer or dryer from which they had stolen. Should the person stealing clothes for other purposes - such as to get a pair of sexy underwear that belonged to their crush - they would find themselves transformed into an exact duplicate of the clothing's original owner, thus loudly proclaiming their crime and the reason for it to everyone.
The administration of the institution did not inform any of their students about these curses - instead just waiting for them to be discovered should the epidemic of thievery continue in the new academic year.
For the first month of so of the year, there were no instances of students going missing or suddenly finding a doppelganger on campus, and so it seemed that the curses had been put in place for no reason.
Two weeks before the first break of the term, Paul Anderson - a 19 year old sophomore - waited until the building slept, heading down to the laundry room at 3 in the morning, and making sure the door closed quietly behind him. The brown-haired, brown-eyed young man peered around the corner to see the six dryers standing closed, all shut off - all loaded with the clothes of six various other young men from throughout the building. Creeping forward, he frowned slightly - attempting to decide which dryer to open.
