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.))

It won't be an instantaneous thing, that's for sure, but people learn ways to overcome their instincts all the time.

[moderndaydragon]

Then... I'm counting on your help, Bakura-kun! I know I can do it with you!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Ignoring Ryou's silent 'wtf' expression behind Karasu's back, Bakura just grins happily.]

Of course! Leave it to me! I'll help you any way I can.

[moderndaydragon]

Great!

[Karasu stretches a little, rubbing her arms again as she tries to retrace her steps. Where was that little alcove thing...

Ah!]

Over here, I think!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[He follows her, looking around and trying to memorize the location. It's not too open, that's for sure. Ryou keeps looking around as if out of paranoia.]

This way? It doesn't look like too bad of a route.

[moderndaydragon]

Yeah. This is the only place I can think of that might be easy to block off or fight in but can still let you get out.

Kind of close to the water, though.

[fluffydeathdealer]

That's a bonus, actually. I don't think my foe can swim. Water's going to be a problem, though... We can't drink sea water. Just gonna have to keep trailing down to the streams if we get thirsty.

[moderndaydragon]

There should be one at least in walking distance. There's not too many caves around here, though, so I might have to fly more than I thought to bring whatever you guys need over here.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[The wind sends a chill through him and his hair is pulled at relentlessly by it. Lifting a hand, he holds it out of his face and turns to cast his eye over the view around them, seeking out blind spots.]

It might not be a long-lasting thing. Once you've gotten settled somewhere, we can scout out the area around where you are for potential relocation spots. It's best to keep moving every so often anyway. This is a small island after all.

[moderndaydragon]

I guess that's true enough. Are you sure Malik won't mind being that close, though?

[fluffydeathdealer]

I don't give a shit if he does. I'm more concerned about keeping him safe than anything else... though there's no reason for him to be in any danger right now.

[moderndaydragon]

Fair enough.

[Though can she really protect the two of them? She wonders a little. But if nothing else, she'll do her best.

As it is, the wind causes her to shiver again and she grumbles a little, rubbing her arms.]

I really hope the sun comes up soon.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Got any idea what time it is? I left my watch in the building. Feels like I've been wandering this damn place for hours already.

Well, if nothing else, I can watch the sunrise again.

[moderndaydragon]

Not a clue. I'm no good at telling time either, especially not when I'm woken up in the middle of the night.

[Mrrr. She rubs her arms again.]

I'll go see about finding somewhere to stay for now. If just because getting out of the wind would be nice.

[fluffydeathdealer]

I can tell the time from the shadows of the sun, but that's no good at night. Maybe if we set up a water clock or something...

[moderndaydragon]

Water clock? I've heard of those, but do they actually work?

[fluffydeathdealer]

They work. But they don't exactly display time so much as they do time passing. I'd have to set one up at a specific point in time and use it to measure how long has passed since then to figure out what time it was.

[moderndaydragon]

Well, something's better than nothing, right?

[Not that she thinks she'll be too much help with that one, but hey.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

I guess so. But it might not be necessary.

[Ugh, he's hungry now, too. Now annoying!]

You wanted to go to the caves, right? I can escort you if you like.

[moderndaydragon]

It's all right! I can find one by myself, don't worry. And you have to at least set up some things to get comfortable... or at least not freeze to death, right?

Don't worry about me too much.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Yeah, I guess so! Thanks a lot, Karasu-chan. You helped me out a lot.

[moderndaydragon]

It's what friends do, right?

[She smiles brightly, brushing some of her hair out of her face.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Of course it is! So don't hesitate to ask if you need my help in turn, alright?

[Though Karasu can't hear it, he's silently sending death threats to Ryou if he says anything.]

[moderndaydragon]

I won't! Cross my heart.

[She even does it, though she can't resist a laugh while doing so.]

I'll be back as soon as I can, all right?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Good luck!

[Bakura grins at her, already setting to work setting up a few impromptu alarm systems around where they were. This wouldn't do too well for comfort, so he'd need to get some heather... lots of it. At least that would make things a bit warmer.

Ryou nervously waves to her behind Bakura's back.]
