Thunderstorm (Attn: All)

[utopiamods]

As classes continue on Friday the weather gets continuously worse until teachers announce that the last class will be cancelled. Screens display the message that all students must report to their dorms but power outages and flickers render them mostly ineffectual. Prefects are instead sent out, armed with waterproofs to make sure all students make it back to their dorms.

Thunder crashes and lightning lights up the sky as the lights flicker and the wind gets steadily louder. Students are required to remain inside, prefects are sent round with snacks and all prepare themselves for a long, wet and windy afternoon.

Black Dorm

[savedbyasong]

Shion was sat with his face pressed against the window watching the storm. He loved storms, though at the moment it was just making him homesick. He remembered another storm, the day he had met Nezumi. Storms always reminded him of Nezumi, and at the moment that day was his earliest clear memory.

He was also wearing a maids costume, which he was mostly trying not to think about it. The rules of this place were clear if very unfair and until the next day he had to do what Asagi told him to, and that included wearing this outfit.

[allurprincess]

"Psst, Shion!" Sora was currently overencumbered by a stack of board games and boxes of various types of playing cards, but she still managed to wave for his attention in a half-sneaky manner. "Do you need a game?"

Snacks!

[knightime]

Surprisingly enough, Dave is being a good Prefect and doing his job.

He's handing out snacks to everyone, and frankly, that means anyone. He doesn't think there are any Discards anyways, so he just gives out snacks to everyone to the dorm. If he gets in trouble for it? Oh well.

Pale Dorm

[utopiamods]

[allurprincess]

Supervising was apparently not one of Sora's trained skills. Instead of actually doing anything helpful or actually going about her tasks, she was staring in confusion at a game of Mouse Trap on the common room floor.

This is pretty much the blind leading the blind

[bubblymuffins]

"My turn!" Somehow, the pony managed to scoop up the dice and shake them between her hooves. She tossed them down on the board. "Eight! Would you move me down the board?"

Snacks!

[knightime]

Okay, he might be looking a little more disgruntled while he passes snacks out. You would too if you went out in that rain just to come here to give snacks. And he has to head back to the Prefect dorm after.

But, he's not too picky who he hands snacks out too, so if you're in the dorm, he'll just hand you your snacks.

White Dorm

[utopiamods]

Roll Call!

[swordofzero]

Suzaku went to White dorm first once they had recieved their instructions from Santana, his hair was plastered to his head and even through the waterproof his clothes were soaking wet but he nodded at the room. "Excuse me, may I have your attention for a few moments. I have been asked to check if everyone is here. My list includes everyone who should be in this dorm so if there is anyone currently in a coma please let me know." He began reading.

"America
Cheshire
Ein
Gamzee Makara
Hideki Hinata
Hiyo Shishidou
Nepeta Vantas
Samuel Henderson
Sanae Kochiya
Stellaluna
Vanezio Lykastis
Yuka Kazami"

[ecthelion]

"I'm here. Nepeta and Hiyo are apparently my roommates, but I haven't seen them."

Snacks!

[stoppedhiding]

Golbez is passing out snacks and drinks. But only to people who have permission to eat from the non-discard menu.

Fortunately, he's a Player. You know, if anyone wants to trade away their freedom for some apple juice or something.

Supervision and Games!

[frozenmemories]

Cirno used the waterproof to cover the bags she was carrying instead of on herself so she was soaked. She didn't seem to mind as she uncovered the bags and put one to the side. She stands there with a grin and opens the one bag, holding her hand out to it.

"I know they wanted us to work on homework and stuff...But here's games for those who are done! Now...No hurting each other or nothing okay?"

With that, she sits off to the side, trying to wring out her hat and bow, keeping an eye on everyone.

Red Dorm

[utopiamods]

Roll Call!

[swordofzero]

Suzaku went to Red dorm second even more soaked from rain than he had been when he entered the White dorm. "Excuse me, may I have your attention for a few moments. I have been asked to check if everyone is here. My list includes everyone who should be in this dorm so if there is anyone currently in a coma please let me know." He began reading.

"Arthur Pendragon
Duzell
Isabela
Jack Noir
Jade Harley
Jadesprite
Nunnally vi Britannia
Sis Strider
Spades Slick"

[ The power is out. Thunder and lightning rumble outside, but during the intermissions, the rooms are thick with darkness and shadow. They only last for a couple of seconds. ]

[ That's all the time she needs. ]

[ She rifles through the red dorm's inhabitants' belongings when she's sure nobody is looking, trying to scrape up raks and valuables. ]

[ ooc: Unless your character has heightened senses (like they were an assassin or whatever), it would be difficult for them to catch her in the act. What normal people can do, is enter the room and force her into hiding OR you can just tell me here she stole some of their stuff. That stuff is going to be sold to Recette as soon as she is able. ]

Prefect Dorm

[utopiamods]

OOC: Duties are as follows

Roll Call: Conquest - Suzaku Kururugi
Fortitude - Jade Harley

BASICALLY EVERYONE WHO ISN'T FAFFING AROUND.

These can be handwaved or you can jump in the dorm threads above to log it out. This thread can also be used for off-duty prefects to hang around in.

Outside

[utopiamods]

[nocathere]

Cheshire is not a fan of the rain, or the thunder, or the lightning, but he liked trees. He felt comfortable up there, even as he got soaked by the rain. Unfortunately, it will take a bit more than convincing to get him to come down and go inside- he's forgotten that important bit of information regarding tree-climbing and has managed to make it a problem at one of the worst times he could.

Re: Outside

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka leaned back against a tree. This particular tree had rather thin foliage, so it thinned out the rain a bit, but didn't really stop it.

That was why she had picked it.

She spread her arms out to the side and tilted her head back to catch more of the rain, a blissful smile on her face. Yuka wasn't heedless of her clothes getting soaked; it would be more accurate to say she was enjoying it. Bare skin would have been better, but stripping out in the open got you hassled too much. She wished she'd had a chance to buy a swimsuit before this happened. But even so...

"Ahhhhhh..."

Sometimes, nothing beat the simple pleasures in life.

[secretlyuseful]

Merlin is hurrying up towards Pale dorm, water trickling down his neck. He had gotten a bit delayed, not lost. Of course not lost, it was just that things looked different in the rain.

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good

[veepofchess]

[Now was his opportunity. The entire rest of the staff was concerned with the storm, and since he had some nonspecific duties, it was an excellent opportunity to do some fact-finding. It'd been a long time since he'd done some of his own dirty work. It was almost nostalgic.

To put everything in place, he had a few messages to send. First was to Dirk It's time you pay for your dinner. Second was to Suzaku You may end up with a punishment before the evening is through.

That done, he took one of the rain slickers, in as muted a color as was available. He put an extra pair of shoes and socks in his school bag, which he wore under the coat. He didn't want squeaky wet shoes to give him away. He left Fortitude's campus, and made his way toward the mayor's mansion.

He snuck his way toward the back of the house, and found his way to a place he could climb up to the second floor window. He pulled himself up to where he could wedge the window open. With it open, he quickly took off his wet shoes and socks, and dropped them on the ground below. He swung his body around, and stripped off the slicker. He held onto that, though. He lowered himself to the floor, and pinched the hood between the sash and the sill, so that it couldn't be seen from the inside. Yes, it would flap in the wind, but it was unlikely that there would be anyone outside to see it.

He pulled on the dry socks and shoes as quick as he could. Finally, he made his way through the hall, listening for the telltale hum of a computer room beyond these doors.]

Re: Outside

[jurist]

Juri hadn't quite gotten accustomed to the campus yet, and the heavy rain made it just hard enough to see properly that someone already in unfamiliar territory might lose her way. She had been intending to go straight back to Pale dorm, but now she seemed to have ended up somewhere else entirely. Squinting through the rain, she peered around, trying to make some sense of her surroundings.

[knightime]

Instead of staying indoors, Dave seems to be very intent to put his neck out for the dumbest things right now.

That being said, despite shivering up a storm and soaked to the bone, he's got his camera out and trying to take pictures of the lightning. It meant some wasted film, but getting a crack of lightning would look fairly good on film, he thinks.
