Summary: In a flash of lightning and the deafening roll of thunder, the power goes out across Utopia Academy.

It's early in the morning when it happens, about six o'clock. The clouds were gathering gradually through the night, the rain only getting heavier from the near-constant downpour during the previous week. Lightning crackles across the sky, the water around the academy is violent and the waves are high. And in a particularly loud clap of thunder, what lights were still on go out and the academy is plunged into darkness.

Romeo grinned back and covered his ears at the thunder. It really was loud, he jumped out of bed hunting round in the darkness for his shoes. He felt his way to the switch that turned on the lamps that wern't gas lamps or candles. He flicked the switch but nothing happened. He frowned and tried again. That was strange but Romeo had no idea how the things even worked so he shrugged.

"It's all dark, do you think there's any candles?" There was the fire place as well, if they could find something to burn but candles were smaller and so wouldn't wake up the other people in the room.

"Candles aren't very bright, are they? If we had a flashlight, or a-- Aah! There were matches in the kitchen!" Brilliant idea, Sora. "I'll go get them."

But you don't know how to make a fire. No matter, the girl was already crashing her way out of the room and towards the kitchenette.

Making a fire (anyone else in Red 1A if they like!)

Romeo blinked at Sora he had no idea what a flashlight or matches were but as she ran out he hopped off the bed and went towards the fire. He could at least start making a fire until Sora found the matches, Romeo guessed that they were some sort of light.

He knelt down by the fire, he knew the chimney was clear, he had climbed up it a few times since being here. He looked around for some paper to start a fire, really they needed coal or wood, he guessed they could get wood in the forest but it would be wet and he had no idea where to get coal from.

He grabbed some of the paper that one of his teachers had given him. He had no idea what was written on it, but since he had forgotten how to read they were useless to him. He started scrunching them up and putting them on the fire. He worked quietly trying not to wake anyone who was trying to sleep.
