CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK

[intercom_voice]

[Hopefully everybody likes waking up outside.

Because as it were, in the middle of the night when everybody had been asleep or lulled into a sudden one by the sheer weight of the air around them...the Campus disappeared in its entirety. Left behind was only the cool surface of the concrete foundation.

For now it seems the residents were left to fend for themselves in the wilderness of the island. Not even the voice from over the intercom would comfort them.]

((ooc: the school has disappeared, along with all the NPCs and everything that was inside! no opt-out areas this time around. The temperature is cool during the day, and colder at night.

The event will last until October 20th, and I'll post a closer to signify it. Everything will be returned to its rightful place then.))

In that case, you will want to have someone to share watches with you.

[And "luckily" for Roy, Vulpes happens to need someone for just that purpose as well! It's difficult to know who can be trusted around this place, but he has known enemies... sleeping outside alone isn't in Vulpes' best interest and he's well aware of it.]

And I suppose you'll need help finishing this shelter before nightfall.

[The legionary stands by after speaking, waiting for Roy to dare protest.]

[Roy's eyes narrow in skepticism. He takes a moment to check him over, noticing he had no weapons that he could see. That didn't make him trust Vulpes any more, but at least he knew he had one up on him in the weapons department.]

Look... [He drops the large branch to the ground; tough guy mode activating.] I know what you Legion guys are part of, ya dig?

[Though it was true that sleeping alone in the wild was unsafe. And given Roy only has about a week of experience plus however long he's going to end up stuck outside here, it's quite a terrifying idea at that. But this guy...surely he was better off alone?]

[Vulpes isn't particularly comfortable wandering around without a weapon even when the building is in place... and now it's all the worse with it gone. However, he has extensive training in unarmed combat, and at least feels confident that he could hold his own in a fight if it comes down to that, even if the other party is armed. ...Well, as long as they aren't armed with anything too powerful.]

Do you? Then you'll know that having us as allies provides you with a great advantage.

[And contrarily, having them as enemies is as good as a death sentence. Here, it's a bit more difficult for him to back up his threats, but maybe this one won't think so.]

[Unfortunately for Roy, the gun is all he has. But he thinks he has the upper hand and that's enough to offer a small comfort for now.

That being said, all that goes through Roy's head for a good half second is "shiiiiit". He doesn't want to make enemies right now. Or ever, really. He just wanted to live to see the next day, and the next.

Besides, maybe it was better so he could keep a close eye on him. He sure as hell would be looking over his shoulder twenty four seven if he sent Vulpes away.]

...As long as that advantage ain't a knife stickin' out of my head. Fine.

[Clearly a begrudging acceptance.]

[truetocaesar]

You've made the wise decision.

[For once, Vulpes would prefer not to make another enemy. Having people despise you is fine with an army at your back. But more or less alone, without a weapon? Vulpes knows when to take a conciliatory tone when he has to. And as long as Roy hasn't done anything to harm him, there's no particular reason not to work together.]

Now, as for your shelter... [He looks over at the pile of random bits and pieces Roy's gathered from the forest.] This won't do. We'll be exposed on all sides. We at least need something solid behind us.

[Roy drops a log he had been moving out of the way and makes a frustrated sound one would expect to hear from a teenager after they're told to clean their room. It's not really directed at Vulpes, though. More at the situation.]

It ain't like we got sheet metal lyin' around here or nothin'.
