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.

Not too far away, Yuka heard Suzaku calling. She was a bit surprised. Humans, as far as she knew, usually didn't like being out in the rain. (Nor most youkai, for that matter.) What could be bringing him outside now?

She picked up her parasol and stepped away from the tree. Frowning at the rainwater that had accumulated inside of it, she poured it out and put it over her shoulder so that it wouldn't get filled up again... but of course, she didn't open it up. That would keep the rain off her, and that would be no good.

A few moments later, she'd walked up to the prefect. "Is there something wrong?"

Yuka was another who had been missing, though Suzaku didn't know her he guessed this was the other missing conquest student. "I'm looking for Cheshire, and you. You should be inside." The rain was getting back, his waterproof was proving not enough protection.

"Oh? But it'd be a shame to miss out on such delicious rain..."

Yuka paused for a moment. She didn't know Suzaku, but he definitely looked like he wasn't enjoying the rain.

"... Do you need any help?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku frowned, "You really should get back, our orders were to make sure all non prefects were safe inside the dormitory buildings."

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka blinked. "Rain is unsafe?" Then she shrugged and started heading back towards White.

...

... Aaand made an abrupt right turn once she was out of Suzaku's line of sight. She didn't think she'd stay out too much longer, but she wasn't quite satisfied yet.

The principle was simple enough. What the prefect didn't know wouldn't hurt her.

[swordofzero]

"Storms are." He watched her until she was out of sight and then continued searching for Cheshire.
