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.))

H-hehe, what's wrong? I can't make conversation?

[Bakura places his hands on his knees and stretches his back a before slouching forward again. He lifts a hand and lazily points it at Roy.]

You could tell me who you are, for one. [Not that he particularly cares.]

[thatcatfrom101]

[Roy's still not sure what to make of the guy, so he merely stares as if that'll help him figure it out.]

Well you know, they call me the Lone Wanderer. [Might be mildly poking fun at Mr. Thief King. See? He has a silly title too!] But I honestly prefer Roy.

[stealshinies]

The "Lone Wanderer"? [His lips stretch into another grin.] That's a pretty pathetic title.

accidentally small texted...ff

[thatcatfrom101]

[Roy snickers.]

Right? Almost as bad as "Thief King". [He sets aside the branch he was working on and idly twirls the knife around in his hand.] I thought radio DJ's were supposed to be more creative than that.

rubs my small text all over u

[stealshinies]

I'm the King of Thieves--that's a title! You're just a vagabond...h-hehehe. An aimless soul destined to die alone and unfulfilled!

[...And okay, he'll bite.] But you can at least be of some use! Tell what a "radio dee jay" is! This "future" of everyone's interests me.

no stahp I ALMOST DID IT AGAIN

[thatcatfrom101]

[Wow. There is a good moment where Roy holds an unreadable expression and merely stares, the twirling of his knife slowly coming to a halt before he's holding it loosely in his hands.

In that moment the gravity of his situation sank it, and even if his features don't portray exactly how unsettled he is by those words, they do give away the fact that he's coming to some kind of realization. Even if had convinced himself he didn't care if he ever found his father, it was true. Those words were true.

The moment passes as quickly as it came, and his brows raise as he chuckles a little at this guy's demand. Of all the things to ask.]

Radio DJ is the guy who plays music and talks about shit over the radio. Like current events, the weather, what dangerous ghoul infested areas to stay the fuck away from. Shit like that.

[stealshinies]

[Don't think the Thief King didn't notice that hesitation, Roy. The slight twitching smile on his lips says that much. It always felt good to know he got to someone.]

Heh...but that doesn't tell me the most important part! What is a "radio"?!

[thatcatfrom101]

It's a...

[Roy sighs. How the hell was he supposed to explain it to someone who had no idea what the hell it was?]

It's a box that people use to talk through. Like, the DJ plays music or talks through it and he can be heard from a lot of different places at once.

[stealshinies]

... [You know, the explanation is simple enough, but even then Bakura is having trouble wrapping his mind around the concept.

He sounds awe-stricken.]

You can talk through a box? But how? [He furrows his brow, lips twisting in confusion.] And just how loud is this "radio" that you can hear it from that many places at once?!

[thatcatfrom101]

[The reaction is actually pretty amusing to Roy, if only because the idea that something so simple to him that he never gave much thought to could be so amazing to someone else.]

It ain't that it's loud. It's just, okay, say you got a really big metal tower. [Roy's going to do his best to explain this, because he for sure isn't an expert on this by any means.] The tower emits these radio waves, right? These waves carry music, conversations, all that shit through the air to the radios. Or some shit.

Dig?
