ANNOUNCEMENT 004

[intercom_voice]

[Bet you all missed hearing from the lovely lady over the intercom, yes? No? Well too bad, because she's making her scheduled announcement right now, as indicated by the screeching of intercom feed.]

I do hope you're all enjoying the fresh air. I know how stir crazy some of you have been getting. A little fun in the sun never hurt anyone. Maybe now we can cut down on the property damage, hm? [Her tone darkens a bit.] And the fires.

You're welcome.

[Because clearly she's doing all of you a favor!]

And remember, don't spend all your time taking in the sun. You have studies to get to! "Only the educated are free"~

[The announcement ends.]

[Well, she didn't seem to be bothering him. So Karasu will come up closer, slightly off to the side so she's not looking directly over his shoulder.]

Wow. That's already pretty beautiful.

[mister_foppish]

Hmm?

[He looked up to note the girl finally when she spoke, offering a quiet smile. It was nice to know that there others who appreciated such things as art.]

Oh, thank you.

[moderndaydragon]

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I didn't think anyone was up here, actually, and I was hoping to get out of the building for a bit...

[Her voice gives a hint of "just tell me and I'll leave you be," though she's still glancing at his painting curiously.]

/is a loser and forgets to tag....tags belatedly sob

[mister_foppish]

It's alright. I don't mind.

[How could he mind an admirer of his work, after all. Pegasus set the brush down, giving her his full attention.]

I don't remember you being here...Have you been here long?

Sokay~, I love you anyways.

[moderndaydragon]

Ah, okay then!

[Wow, it really is so pretty... but he's looking at her, so she looks back over to him.]

No, not really. I've only been here a couple of days. ...I'm Karasu! You are?

[mister_foppish]

[He doesn't mind, honestly. But his own curiosity was growing now so his attention was momentarily on her.]

Karasu-chan is it? Well, a pleasure to meet you. Pegasus. Pegasus Crawford.

[moderndaydragon]

[She runs a hand through her hair, eyes flicking up to Pegasus' momentarily. She had never met all that many people with colors even close to hers, so please forgive her for staring a little.]

Ah, yes! It's a pleasure to meet you too, Crawford-san. Do you paint a lot?

[mister_foppish]

I do, in fact. I'm an artist, you might say.

[Industrial Illusions' Duel Monsters revolved around the fact that he could do art, after all. He shifted and returned that gaze, used to people staring at him but yet noting her unique appearance. It reminded him of something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.]

[moderndaydragon]

Ah, really? I guess that explains it!

[She notices the returned gaze, slightly averting hers and moving up to fidget with her hair out of habit. Ah-heh... He's got silver hair too, surely he can't mind it...?

Blue eyes... white hair... Nah.]

You're... really good at it.

[It's a dumb thing to say, but she suddenly feels a little uncomfortable.]

[mister_foppish]

[He doesn't seem to notice her fidgeting, but the turmoil lurking below the surface was something he might have picked up on soon enough if he pried into her mind.

Still, he let himself stray from that line of thought as she spoke again.]

Well, I do appreciate the compliment. One does find a way to preoccupy themselves here, you might say. It helps to have a distraction once in a while.

[moderndaydragon]

Yeah... it seems like there's not a lot of places to go around here. Or really, anything that happens at all. You'd think a school would at least have classes or something...

[Not that she'd argue for it. At least the boredom hasn't set in too badly for her yet.]

Or at least some staff besides a crazy lunch lady and a weird nurse.

[mister_foppish]

Hmm. Well, if you hadn't noticed we're on an unexplored island...There will be much to do if we wish to find a way to escape.

[He chuckled a little at her assessment of the Campus, amused by her candidness.]

Heh. Right you are. Unfortunately we're on our own.

[moderndaydragon]

Yeah, I saw the forest. [Actually, it was more "crashed into it while bleeding like a hose" if Pegasus saw that day, but she's not going to offer up that information, nope.]

Is there really that much to do to figure out how to get off? Isn't there some way to just... boat off or fly or something?

[mister_foppish]

[He must have been indisposed, as he was entirely unaware of that incident in question actually. But no matter.]

...No. Unfortunately, no one's been successful yet. And yes, given not too long ago this island you see...was not there before. It's difficult to explain. There's some kind of force binding us here.

There might be a way if we were to somehow construct a craft of our own or repurpose something to fit our needs and try to get a line of communication out. Otherwise we'll have to wait.

[moderndaydragon]

Not... here before? Did it just appear or something?

[She's entirely serious, nor sarcastic or taunting or anything like that. It wouldn't be hard for her to imagine a whole island just appearing or something. Having a way too high suspension of disbelief is a wonderful thing.]

[mister_foppish]

Well, it's more we couldn't actually see it.

[The barrier had prevented as much. He sighed, a little dramatically.]

[moderndaydragon]

Were the windows blacked out or something?

[Not that she can blame the dramatic sigh. If it was just the school, she would've gone stir-crazy.]

[mister_foppish]

No...it was as if you couldn't actually see it. Like an illusion.

[How else could he explain it?]

[moderndaydragon]

Like... there was nothing there? At all?

[mister_foppish]

Well, actually it was of an endless landscape, but no one was ever able to leave the campus grounds to reach it.

[Strange as it was. Funny how that works, wasn't it?]
