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.))

[Malik pulls his knees up, propping his chin up on them as he took in the warmth of the nearby fire. He sniffles again despite it.]

It's just a runny nose. I'm sure it'll be gone in the morning. [Malik obviously knew nothing about how colds worked.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

Tell me if you still feel like that in the morning.

[He shoots him a dry look.]

For now, just try to rest.

[obeytherod]

Okay, okay~ Keh... [Malik closes his eyes, sitting there for awhile before he eventually returns to laying on his side.

He sleeps the rest of the night and into the late morning. Malik's usually awake fairly earlier, so it's unusual to see him still hiding under the covers at this time.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Bakura sleeps close to him, pressed up against Malik's back and relishing his warmth. After the events of the day, he's tired enough that the day is half-gone when he awakens... and Malik is still in his arms. He rubs his eyes sleepily as he sits up, reaching out to shake him a little.]

Oy, Malik... Are you really still sleeping?

[obeytherod]

Hnn... [Malik groans, shifting to pull the blanket further up his shoulders as he ignores Bakura's wake-up call.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...Malik-sama! Come on... It's late.

[He shakes him again, leaning over him.]

[obeytherod]

[That wakes him, as unpleasant as it is. Malik sounds groggy and extremely nasally when he speaks. He tiredly pushes that hand off him as an afterthought.]

Shut up...my head hurts.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

[Snrk.]

So much for 'gone in the morning'...

[obeytherod]

You fool...that's not funny. [He sighs, rolling onto his back.]

I feel like I got run over.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[He grins broadly, reaching up to stroke Malik's hair away from his face.]

Heh heh... On the contrary! I find it hilarious! You're so naive...

[obeytherod]

[Malik pushes the hand away as fast as his sluggish body will allow. His voice and demeanor are laced with irritation.]

How does this make me naive?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[His grin only widens at that.]

You thought it would be gone by the morning. That makes you pretty damn naive. Colds always get worse.

[obeytherod]

Fine. Do you want an award? [He throws his arms over his eyes, groaning slightly.]

This is the worst time I could have gotten sick...

[fluffydeathdealer]

It's your own fault. Here. You're going to want to eat something.

[He offers him an orange.]

[obeytherod]

... [Malik glances over at the orange, his fingers twitching in thought.]

Can you peel it for me?

[fluffydeathdealer]

...eh? Sure.

[He isn't sure Malik would appreciate him using his knife, so he just uses his hands to break the peel and tear it off, holding the inner part of the orange out to him.]

Luckily the traps I set up should be enough to let you rest. No need for a lookout.

[obeytherod]

[Malik takes the orange with a nod and sits himself up to eat. He pulls apart one slice at a time, popping them into his mouth and spitting out the seeds into his hand when he's done.]

That's good... Hopefully this cold doesn't get any worse. I'm not looking forward to moving right now, let alone walking...

[fluffydeathdealer]

If you stay warm and keep eating, it should pass within a couple of days. You might feel worse before then, though. Depends how bad it is.

[Malik, why are you and his host so fastidious? Jeez.]

[obeytherod]

A couple of days?! Ugh...!

[He tosses a handful of seeds into the fire and then continues eating.]

Is this really all we have to eat? I like fruit, but after the last time we were out here I realized I can't just eat only fruit. It's like eating candy all day...

[fluffydeathdealer]

[...great, he's got a couple of days of Malik bitching to look forward to.]

I don't exactly have a goddamn vegetable garden, you know.

[obeytherod]

[He lets out a suffering sigh, a few slices of orange left in his hand. Malik really did seem to be losing his appetite for the stuff.]

There has to be something...nuts, maybe? Anything.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ah, we do have some nuts. Hold on.

[He gets up, going to get them - and pauses. Something's moving...]

Quiet, Malik. There's movement out there.

[Crouching down, he tugs the knife out, sneaking to the cave entrance.]

...?

[obeytherod]

Oh, good, at least then I can-- [Malik blinks when he's told to be quiet, and does so obediently if only because he knows it's a matter of their owns safety.

Staying still and in place, he watches the cave entrance for any signs of life. If something tried to come at Bakura's blind spot, he could at least warn him.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hahahahaha! [Bakura laughs, leaving Malik's sight for a moment. There's a strangled noise, before he returns with...

A dead chicken.]

False alarm... it seems it got caught in the trap.

[obeytherod]

Did you have to bring it in here? [Malik shoves his orange slices aside and lays back on his side, staring grumpily over at Bakura.]

Ugh, now I'll have to smell it...
