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.))

[That's because he does... but he doesn't bother saying it. He just watches, with interest, before leaning forward, invading Malik's personal space.]

That'll definitely make him avoid you for life... poor fool. H-heh heh, they're going to think you're being abused...

But you know, it's not a bad look for you...

[He leans forward, before Malik can jerk away, to trail his tongue over the injured eye.

Liiiiick~♥]

[obeytherod]

Who's "they"? [He says incredulously, pausing in his ministrations as Bakura gets close. For a moment he thinks the other boy is about to make a move on him even in this state.

But then Bakura's way too close, and that wet tongue trails across his sensitive eyelid, causing Malik to shudder and shove the other boy's face away.]

Ow! That hurts, you fool. And don't compliment it!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hyahahahahaha! Malik-sa~ma! Anyone that knows of our relationship is going to think I've been abusing you. Heheh...

[His eyes are bright with mischief.]

Don't get too cold, Malik-sama, or else I'm going to have to warm you up again. So hurry up with your bath.

[obeytherod]

...Nobody's going to think that just because my eye is bruised.

[Malik slips his shorts off, standing up to turn around when he goes to remove his undergarments. And just to make sure Bakura can't see anything, he cups himself protectively in one hand as he slips into the water. The water is cold at first touch, making him shiver and force him to take his time, but eventually he submerges himself to his mid-torso whilst still crouching down so as not to sit on the bottom.

Only as an afterthought does he humour Bakura's last "joke".]

I'm already warm enough. You're not touching me.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Oh dear, Malik, you think that's enough to make him less of a dick? He's already seen you naked, after all. Lying on his back beside the stream, he folds his hands behind his head, not even looking at Malik.]

Then why did you bring the blanket? If you're already warm enough, isn't that kind of pointless?

At any rate, if you're that bothered by my presence, I can leave you to it on your own. I'm sure I'm wanted elsewhere...

[obeytherod]

[Anything Malik would have said about the blanket is forgotten at the implications between Bakura's last words.

Malik feels a sharp pang in his chest. His words are as bitter and harsh as the cold air itself.]

Don't sound so eager to leave! I feel miserable and you're just going to leave me here...

[fluffydeathdealer]

'Eager'...?! [His voice is filled with irritation.] You're the one that seems eager for me to leave!

[obeytherod]

Well I'm not--ughh.

[Malik just shakes his head in irritation and then dunks his head under the water. He stays there for a minute before coming back up, his wet hair clinging to his face and dripping water down his chest and back.]

Hh... [He lets out a heavy sigh and runs his hands through his hair. relishing the coolness of the water on his heated skin.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Tch... just don't stay in there too long, okay? It might feel good now, but too long will have you feeling worse.

[Damn, it's chilly. Even he feels a little put off by it. Reaching out, he snags the blanket while he waits for Malik, tugging it over reluctantly. He doesn't like making it obvious when he feels cold, dammit. Weaknesses like this are for humans.

Malik really does look good like that, with his skin glistening from the water.]

[obeytherod]

[Malik rests in the water for a little while, finally coming out when he seems to be doing more shivering than relaxing.

Modestly cupping himself again, Malik steps out of the water and gives a harsh shudder as the cold air reacts with the water on his skin, chilling him to the bone. Using his shirt he quickly dries himself off and tosses the top aside before pulling on the rest of his clothes.

Taking a few steps towards Bakura, he holds his hand out.]

O-oy...give m-me the blanket! I'm f-f-freezing!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Rising to his feet, he holds the blanket around himself possessively. In one overly dramatic moment, he moves, slinging it around Malik's shoulders - and steps forward too, so that the blanket settles around them both.]

Malik~. We can share, can't we? I'm cold too, you know...

[obeytherod]

[Malik doesn't even have time to react before he's suddenly in Bakura's arms, the blanket slung gratefully over his shoulders. He was still shivering a bit, but the body heat combined with the insulation was quickly heating him back up.

He sighs, enjoying the heat, but still having to begrudgingly resign himself to the gesture.]

Let's at least sit down first...

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Bakura nods, bringing him carefully down to the ground to sit beside him, still pressed close. He feels warmer too now. Mm... Malik's warmth was the best kind.]

Better?

[obeytherod]

Yeah. [Malik adjusts himself a bit to get comfortable before fully settling against Bakura. His hair was still relatlively wet, making it hard to get too warm, and for that he was grateful--at least it kept his head cool.]

After we warm up...we can head back. I wonder if your traps caught us another bird to eat.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[He nods casually, leaning his head against Malik's with a soft sigh. How comfortable... he almost doesn't want to move.]

If it hasn't, it won't take me long to catch one. They're stupid enough that I can herd them into the traps.

[obeytherod]

[Malik's headache had never truly ceased, and even now he could feel it threateningly throbbing just under his temples.]

Good. Nngh... [He brings a hand up, rubbing his head.] Actually, let's head back now. I'd rather walk now while I'm feeling decent than wait until its passed.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heh... alright. It would be better to have the cave walls to your back while you're in this state, after all. If your head keeps hurting, let me know and I'll try and see if I can't ease it through massaging. They say it's good for tension headaches, after all.

[Getting up reluctantly, he relinquishes the blanket to Malik, who needs it most.]

[obeytherod]

[Malik follows him up, taking the blanket and pulling it over his shoulders. As an afterthought he retrieves his shirt and tucks it under his arm.]

Before we go, maybe we should try to find something we can use to hold water in...

[fluffydeathdealer]

...like what? I'm not exactly carrying pans under my pajamas, you know.

[obeytherod]

[Malik just deadpans at the man in front of him.]

I don't know, that's why I said "maybe we should try to find something".

[fluffydeathdealer]

If you have any ideas, do let me know! I'm just saying, it's not like we're going to find a tree full of pails here.

[obeytherod]

[Bakura, sometimes he wants to smack you, but the last time he smacked that body he got a black eye.]

Maybe we can use your dagger to carve a makeshift canteen out of something?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Smack him and you'll have two black eyes!]

Look around. If you see anything with a strong skin to it, it's probably doable.

[obeytherod]

[That is exactly why he's refrained from smacking.]

Right. I'll take this side. [He nods behind himself and, after setting down his shirt, goes to see if he can't find something near the edge of the forest that might work.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[But don't you want to look like you've been trying to imitate Yugi and failed?

Bakura looks around, wandering off in search of something they can use. He does find what appears to be a pumpkin, which might work if hollowed out enough, but pft, like that'll be much good for long. At least they can eat the insides, though.]

Any idea?
