Thunderstorm (Attn: All)

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.

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.

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"

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"

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.

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.

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.

"I'm here. Sober. And bored out of my wits. But here."

[ 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. ]

[Sis comes walking in a little later, okay so what she was out in the rain storm for a bit. She just wanted to see how bad the weather was actually going to get.]

Here, wet and cold. But here.

"Noted." Suzaku didn't want to speak to her more than he had to but his tone was perfectly polite as he ticked her off the list.

Someone will be coming round with warm drinks soon Sis. [He nodded at her, ticking off her name.]

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

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.

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.

"Oh..." Suzaku remembered the small frightened girl he had met off the train. He raised his voice, "Has anyone seen Nepeta or Hiyo? Are they in coma's?" He ticked Ein's name off the list.

[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.]

Deets.

Two hours.
