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.))

[Oh come on, Bakura. Karasu bites her lip at that, saying nothing more as she just sits down, as well, glancing at the rabbit bodies with a barely audible sigh. Well, she sure made herself look good, didn't she?]
no subject
He lets out a sharp laugh at Bakura's last comment, and a few 'random' sparks drift off the fire.
"I try."
Wanna see real maturity? It's that non-existent portal that could be under your ass any second.
no subject
[He focuses on his work, not even looking up as the fire sparks. Sorry, Kai. His fear of fire has diminished steadily the more his memories of Ra's attack fade.
The knife easily peels the skin from the rabbit he's working on, deft cuts slicing it off with ease and for once even the sight of the bloody meat he carefully deposits to one side doesn't cheer him up.]
I'll be going once I'm done with these, anyway. So you two can have your privacy.
Kai, do you have acess to salt water near here? I know the caves feed into the ocean, but not how accessible it is.
no subject
[Eh? Privacy? Karasu blinks, then laughs a little, running a hand through her hair and shaking her head.]
Kai-kun and I aren't like that or anything. We're just friends too.
no subject
Oh Light.
"I'm not sure, I haven't actually checked out this area much. Been around, but not-"
He looks up and waves a hand absently. "Not enough to map out."
Damn, there's that twist again. Ignoring it, no problem. Someday, maybe. Kai sighs inwardly before deciding to not be a complete ass.
"Hey Bakura, thanks for helping out. Really."
no subject
[He pauses, surprised, but nods. He didn't expect maturity of any kind from a boy as young as Kai.
...god, his inner thoughts made him feel old. He was, really, at more than three thousand years of age, but it took being around a bunch of arguing teenagers to make him feel it.]
It's not a problem. We're all in the same boat here.
[Right, he should probably explain.]
Salt water's best to preserve the meat and it's probably the best source of salt to process these. They need to be salted thoroughly within a few hours, or else they're going to be pretty useless. As it is, they shouldn't be used so soon after skinning, but we don't have much choice, especially if this cold spell keeps up.
[They shouldn't be kept too warm either, but they need to be dried out fast, which is why he's near the fire.]
We don't have the proper materials for this, so improvising will have to do. It'll be warm at least.
[He carefully stretches the skin, using the flat of the blade to scrape off the inner skin of it, before moving onto the next rabbit on the pile.]

no subject
It kind of sucks having to admit to himself that maybe it's good having Bakura around, at least for this. He blinks at the word 'cave' and turns to Karasu.
"Hey, take this. It'll follow, don't worry."
Say hi to a little flame floating within reach.
no subject
[If it's to do with death, he probably has knowledge of it... but it helps that he was alive when it was common practice to salt and dry meat you caught to store up for the winter.
He watches the flame with interest, though he doesn't stop his work.]
That'll help.
no subject
[Karasu smiles at the little flame, giving Kai a bright smile.]
Thank you! That'll help a lot!
[And with that, she heads into the cave, the flicker of the flame disappearing around a bend before too long.]
no subject
Ugh.
Yep, flames are more pleasant, back to staring at that and contemplating if he should go fetch his shirt. Naw, it's at least useful for carrying things.
no subject
[Setting the meat aside, he brings the blade to his mouth, licking the residual blood from it with an amused expression.]
no subject
Why did he have to look over just then. Note to self, quit looking at people when they speak to him, he'll miss seeing things like that.
"So."
Yep, there's a good conversation starter. He's not even sure he wants to be having one, but it might be better than just sitting here. Maybe.
Probably not.
no subject
[His voice is filled with amusement to the point of being joking. Of course he doesn't expect respect or even friendliness from this kid. He's sure that he barely tolerates his presence.
After all, this was the kid who found the thought of his host being left alone without him to be a pleasant one. What a fool... as if Ryou could survive on his own in this world.]
no subject
Or Creepers.
"So I'm not sure how to start a conversation with you. A civil one, I mean." He rolls his eyes heavenward before picking up a small rock to play with. "Maybe sitting here in silence is better."
Because he can suddenly think of at least two subjects he'd be happy to avoid.
no subject
But none of his assholeish ones.]
You don't have to be civil. Karasu-chan isn't here to hear, and I'm hard to seriously offend! Though, heh... I guess that will be less fun for you.
no subject
"Honestly, maybe I'm just too tired to be a jerk." Or too much of one. Kai drops the rock and gets to his feet, going to fetch his shirt-turned-bag. Covering up the other subject he'd like to avoid is suddenly a priority.
no subject
[Bakura pouts, looking almost as childish as his body usually does. If Kai's tired, there's no point in trying to rile him up, is there? Stupid humans and their stupid need for stupid shit like sleep.]
no subject
"Sorry."
Ha.
Kai tugs his shirt on, relieved to have it back. And as tired as he might be, he doesn't have much intention of sleeping tonight. Staying awake and playing guard is go.
no subject
Bakura-kun! It opens out into the water not too far down.
Sorry for my absence! My mind decided to die on possble responses for a while.
[Damn, and he was going to torment the kid something rotten.]
That's good. Once I'm done with these, we can drag them there and sort them out. Maybe you can even make it into a makeshift larger for the meat, h-heh.
no subject
"Next time we do this, let's make sure we bring hot dogs." Although waiting until summer for that seemed a better idea...If they were still here by then. Hopefully not.
