CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK

[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, I'm fine, honest. I'm cold, but I'm not freezing. Been colder." A different kind of cold, but anyway. He's just going to frown and keep holding the shirt out. Don't make him insist, he will. His gaze shifts over to Bakura and he almost smacks himself with his free hand. That was something he hadn't thought of.

"That's actually a good idea."

Ugh, he's staring. Well, of course. It's not like they're normal. The question makes him snort with suppressed laughter.

"Not really."

...All right.

[She can tell Kai won't give up on this, so she reaches out, taking the shirt and pulling it on. It's still an extra layer of warmth and it lets her breathe out a bit thankfully, rubbing her hands.]

That is a good idea. Kai-kun and I can handle that while you and Malik set up. If you come back a little later, I'm sure we can have enough for all four of us! Right, Kai-kun?

I dunno, if Ryou saw this, he'd probably start fussing over you like a mother hen.

[He finally stops looking over Kai like an interesting piece of meat, getting up.]

Heh... Karasu-chan, Malik would appreciate that, I'm sure. Even coming from you! If I can get him to be sociable, I'll drag him over to say hi later, if he doesn't wander over on his own. If not, I'll just drop by in a while once I'm done setting up a perimeter.

"Thanks." The frown turns into a smile as Karasu finally takes the shirt, then fades altogether as Bakura mentions Ryou. What the hell-

Damn it Bakura, quit screwing with things, it's getting annoying.

"Nothing for him to fuss over, they happened ages ago. Not like anything still hurts." Often, at least. Kai gives a shrug and gets to his feet too, just managing to keep from rolling his eyes at the idea of having to deal with the Creeper and Creeper jr some more.

"We should have something edible pretty soon."

Yep! Just leave it to us.

[Karasu gives her arm a final rub, turning to hug Bakura tightly, both out of affection and warmth.]

I hope he does appreciate it. I'll make sure we grab some fruit and stuff for him, too!

They still look like they hurt. I'd say not to let him see them, but he already has.

[Bakura hugs her tightly, affectionately, one hand coming up to stroke through her hair. Mm, warm.]

If he doesn't, I'll kick his ass until he starts appreciating the kindness of others. Especially you.

"Looks can be deceiving." Bakura's just a great example of that, isn't he.

Outwardly, Kai's not even twitching at the display this time, although he's running over several different options, at least two ranging from 'painful' to just 'dead'.

Jealous, him?

"We'd better get going."

Right. See you later, Bakura!

[And with that, Karasu waves, going off with Kai into the forest to see what they can get.]

[Karasu had never really done the whole thing of "hunting" before, but with her and Kai helping each other, they hadn't done too bad. A couple of bears, a deer, a fox, and some rabbits were the total of their fur-hunting, while Karasu had managed to sort of makeshift a bag from Kai's shirt and wrapped up a bunch of different fruits and such inside of it.

Right now, she's got the corpses stacked up near the cave, letting the cold help settle them while they waited for Bakura to come back.]

We make a good team, Kai-kun! Don't we?

'Hadn't done too bad'? As far as Kai was concerned this was pretty damn good for just the two of them. Even with 'Jem helping him they'd never managed anything bigger than maybe a deer...then again, she was still just a kid.

"Definitely. I didn't think we'd get this much."

He grins from by the fire where he's warming his hands - okay, he's a little cold, but it really isn't bad.

"Glad my shirt is multipurpose."

Looks like we've got good timing!

[Bakura's voice calls leisurely from the jungle as he approaches, with a grouchy Malik in tow. From the looks of it, Ryou's asleep inside of him once more, no longer paying attention to what's going on outside.]

Didn't freeze to death in the jungle then, I see.

[The only sad part about this was that he couldn't troll Kai by being affectionate with Karasu now that Malik was here.]

[As far from happy as he was to see Karasu again--severe jealousy and attempted murder tended to do that--he was too hungry and cold to care. The sight of that fire was elating in itself, even if all that meat threatened to turn his stomach.

He notices Kai as well, that boy with the strange portal abilities who had given him that drawing of Bakura. Well, well, this was interesting!

It's still hard for him to force a smile, even when three out of four things were to his liking.]

Afternoon.

You do! We got back not too long ago.

[Ah... she says nothing at the look, simply picking up the shirtbag by the knot to hold it out towards Malik when the two come to the fire.]

Here. I found all this for you to eat, since I know you don't eat any sort of animal. I hope it's enough.

[Her voice is nice, if distant, and she gives him somewhat of an uneasy smile.]

Nope, this whole thing isn't uncomfortable or anything. Kai nods his greeting at Malik (and ignores Bakura, is it obvious?), staying where he is for the moment, while he just sort of assesses the situation.

Yep, they're screwed.

"We can get more later if we need it."

He kind of wants to ask Malik not to ruin his shirt, but he has a feeling that'd be a bad idea, so nope.

[For the moment, Malik doesn't pay any more mind to Kai. He'll have time for that in a moment. Right now he's distracted, not really sure how to respond to Karasu's kindness. After everything he did to her...she was truly foolish. The look he gives her is a cold one as he takes the shirt.]

Why do you even care? Drop the fake kindness, I don't need it.

[Tucking the shirt under his arm he walks over to sit far away from Karasu. He eyes Bakura, expecting him to sit next to him.]

Edited 2013-10-18 04:02 (UTC)

Malik-! [Moving over to sit beside him, he shoots him a glare, voice lowering.]

You can't still be jealous of her! You know I'm yours, asshole.

[Shaking his head, he shoots Karasu an apologetic smile, sitting crosslegged on the ground and raising his voice once more.]

Well, well... here I am, sitting before a roaring fire with three beauties. Talk about lucky!

[Kai was not to his taste, but he was still included - if only to piss him off.]

Because you're someone Bakura-kun cares about. Even if I don't like you, that's enough for me to be nice to you. It's not fake, but if you really want, I'll drop it anyway. It's fine with me.

[She doesn't respond to Bakura's smile, just sitting on her end of the fire by herself and putting her hands out, proceeding to ignore Malik completely. Hey, if that's what he wants, she's more than happy to oblige. It's easier than being nice to him, after all!

She doesn't respond to the beauty comment either, rubbing her arms instead.]

Bakura-kun, should we start trying to get the fur off?

This is going to be a fun time, all right. Kai gets up long enough to go drop down next to Karasu, giving her a reassuring smile. He's also ignoring Bakura's comment, but only because it actually doesn't bug him.

Wow, that's surprising.

He almost wants to ask about that drawing...but he bets that'd be causing a whole new bunch of problems they don't need.

[Malik shoots Bakura a look, ignoring his comment on his jealousy. It was far more than just jealousy anyway.]

Oy, what did we agree to?

[His gaze shifts back to Karasu when she speaks.] Yes, actually--I prefer you that way! The last thing I want is your kindness.

[Finally he opens the shirt up, pulling out a few berries and inspecting them carefully before he pops them into his mouth. He looks over at Kai, slightly disappointed to see him sitting so close to Karasu. The mood was tense enough that he wanted to try and lighten it, if only a little.]

Bakura-kun [The mocking of Karasu's honorific is obvious enough] ripped up that drawing you gave me! Can you believe it?

Edited 2013-10-18 04:07 (UTC)

Oy! Malik-sama, don't tell stories!

[He growls, baring his teeth for a moment before remembering he's meant to be playing nice.]

Ah, yeah, Karasu-chan. I'll be happy to help. I've done this sort of thing before.

[Karasu smiles at Kai when he comes over to sit by her, not even so much as batting an eye when Malik speaks. As far as she's concerned, he doesn't exist anymore. She isn't the type to be mean to someone, so if he doesn't want her kindness, then the only thing to do is pretend he isn't even there.

She glances back to Bakura, nodding and standing up some.]

All right. Should I bring over the rabbits and fox first?

"Ha, maybe I'll have to make another once I've gotten my sketchbook back."

Joke or not, he's still amused, even if he really shouldn't be right now. Malik's attitude toward Karasu is pissing him off some, but damn it, he's going to try and behave.

He watches her get up and glances over at the carcasses. Maybe he should get a dagger or something, in case this ever happens again. Keyblades weren't good for skinning things.

Hitting certain people in the face, on the other hand...

"You two want any help, or should I just keep the fire from going out?"

[Malik's ignoring Karasu now almost as much as she's ignoring him. The only thing that catches his attention is the mention of animals.]

You're not going to eat those, are you? [He pops a few more berries into his mouth.] I won't kiss you for a week if you do.

[Mm...Kai had said something, hadn't he? Those powers of his could be useful, so he'll play nice.] You should...I could use them to decorate the walls of our room!

Can any of you stop acting like five year olds for two minutes?

[Bakura shoots Malik a glare.]

Malik-sama, you didn't have to come. If you can't act like an adult and get along with people, go back to our camp on your own. I've got work to do here.

[He's not even going to get started on the idiocy of pretending someone in the group wasn't there.]

As to the animals, we need the skins. I'm not going to promise not to eat them, but right now, I have bigger priorities than your damn picky tastes.

[He heaves an irritated sigh, eyes narrowed.]

That works, Karasu-chan... I'll sort out the smaller ones first.

Kai-kun, do what you like. I can show you what to do if you've got a knife.

[Ack. Karasu winces at the chastising, but nods, saying nothing as she goes to gather up the smaller bodies, putting them in a pile on their own. Kiss him for a week, huh? Oh well. It wasn't like that was a big surprise to her or anything.

When Bakura comes over to help, she lowers her voice, just enough for him to hear.]

What do you want me to do, Bakura-kun? He doesn't want me to be nice to him and because he's your friend, I'm not going to be mean or anything to him. But I'm not really sure what else to do besides ignore him.
