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.))

[No, he means gaudy. No where that he ever knew about would find that to be fashionable.]

Assuming we can find one.

[There were plenty of caves in the Mojave. Unfortunately, most of them were inhabited by some of the Wasteland's most deadly creatures. But, once cleared out, they made excellent hideouts that were easily defensible.]

Keep your eyes peeled.

[pimpcoat]

[Clearly you know nothing about fashion.]

[Micheletto gives Vulpes an odd look at that- keep his eyes peeled? What?- but says nothing, looking out for a cave that could be used for shelter. A while passes in silence, but they finally find what they're looking for at the edge of the forest. Micheletto stoops down to look inside- a nearby crab raises its claws at him defensively, and he snorts and kicks it across the cave floor.]

This will do.

[truetocaesar]

[Naturally, it's even colder in the cave than it is outside. Staying by the water probably isn't in his best interests... but it'll have to do for tonight.]

Very well.

[Fortunately, the cave doesn't appear to be home to anything particularly dangerous. So as long as none of his enemies happen by, there shouldn't be any serious fights to worry about.]

Now to find food.

[pimpcoat]

Yes... now to find food.

[He rubs his chin thoughtfully, looking around.]

Perhaps you should build a fire.

[He pulls out his stiletto and hands it to Vulpes. It would be stupid to leave him here with no way to defend himself.]

I will be back shortly.

[Well... he hopes so, anyway.]

[truetocaesar]

...

[Vulpes can't help but wonder if there's a specific reason why Micheletto isn't taking him to hunt. It isn't because he doesn't have a weapon... as he has one in his hand now. Hnn.]

[Still, someone does need to build a fire, so he decides not to waste time arguing it. There are plenty of branches and sticks around for him to use, so he gathers the best ones together and brings them into the cave. By the time Micheletto returns, he'll have a decent sized fire going.]

[pimpcoat]

[Well, so far Vulpes hasn't really shown Micheletto that he's all that capable with a weapon. He's lost his ripper twice, after all. It's enough of a risk trusting him with his own weapon here.]

[When he comes back he's managed to kill an animal of some sort, and he dumps it on the ground beside the fire and nods in approval.]

Bene, this will keep us warm.

[truetocaesar]

[He lost it both times under unusual circumstances! ...Vulpes knows that still won't inspire much confidence. But unless that damn NCR dog shows up again, he doubts there will be an issue.]

[When Micheletto returns, Vulpes glances at the dead animal from his seat in front of the fire. Good... at least they have something to eat now. He also feels a bit warmer sitting by the fire, though he finds himself wishing he'd been left with his sleep pants in addition to his usual clothes.]

It's better than nothing. What did you kill?
