CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: SNOWED IN
[Early morning on the 15th, the building is deathly chilly as well as unusually dark. Even with the heat on people will find themselves wandering the halls and shivering, their breath fogging up in front of them. Anybody foolish enough to try and leave the building will find that the door simply won't budge due to the amount of snow piled against it, and any attempts to exit (or look) through the windows will greet them with a daunting wall of white. Even the courtyard is inaccessible, as is the door leading up to the rooftop.
Outside on the island, it seems a heavy snow storm has blanketed everything in a thick layer of white.]
((ooc: The event will last 7 days, with the first 4 being snowed-in, the 5th being a blizzard, the 6th another snow-in day, and the 7th having the snow melting. A post will be made on the 19th and 21st respectively. You can see the conditions here, and on the weekly weather sticky:
15th Wed: -32~-20°F; 20 mph; SNOWED IN
16th Thurs: -30~-23°F; 26 mph; SNOWED IN
17th Fri: -28~-18°F; 18 mph; SNOWED IN
18th Sat: -37~-29°F; 21 mph; SNOWED IN
19th Sun: -45~-38°F; 32 mph; SNOWED IN / BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
20th Mon: -15~0°F; 15 mph; SNOWED IN
21st Tues: 10~20°F; 5 mph winds; SNOW MELTING
Mingle, tag around, make your own posts and most of all--have fun! If you have any questions just contact the mod account. Characters with magic powers or a lot of strength CAN get through the doors, but those doors won't stay clear for long. The snow is VERY heavy.))

[Jamie sits on the bench again, grabbing her notebook. She fidgets with a corner, slowly peeling it back.] 'Cept me. I don't know any spells. Can't learn them, either. I just neutralize them. So I wouldn't be very good food, just a useful weapon. [Not bait. She's not sure anyone would bother. Well, maybe Niko.]
...So...you made a pact, and now you're mute? What's your pact for?
no subject
He raises an arm and concentrates. Normally the test dummy he was aiming at would be struck with a ball of flame. But nothing happens as he stands next to this strange girl. Interesting. He turns back to the girl and the paper.]
Do you take away magic permanently?
[Oh, right, the pact.]
It was either form a pact or kill a dragon in a fit of revenge and then bleed out in the courtyard of my own castle. A pact saved both of us and then granted me the strength to destroy an army by myself.
[Ahh, good times.]
no subject
[Jamie's making a face at the explanation of the pact, but not about the revenge or blood or even his castle - who is she dealing with here? - but the unfamiliar word in front of her. She'll deal with his having enough power to fight an entire army on his own later.
...Which is actually pretty incredible.]
What's a dragon? [Yes Caim, be shocked. There's no such thing in her world, not even by another name.]
no subject
They are great lizard-like creatures, only instead of normal front legs like a regular lizard, they have wings and are capable of flight. They're also magic users, to a point, and possess the ability to breathe fire. One of them makes her home here, but she uses her magic to try and pass as one of us.
[He snorts at the thought of Saft. Such a far cry from Angel, but no so much from Furiae.]
no subject
Wings...I'd love to see something fly like that. Maybe not the breathing fire part, though.
[Well, unless it was one giving Kallian what for, the stupid jerk.]
There's one here? What's she like? Does anything give her away, or is her illusion spell really strong?
[Maybe what she's asking is, 'If I get too close will I ruin things for her?']
no subject
She looks like a girl not too much older then you. The most peculiar thing about her is her hair. It's purple in the front. I don't know anything about her dragon magic, either. Perhaps she'll revert back to her true form if she ever gets close to you. It will serve the bitch who keeps us here right to have to clean up the mess.
no subject
[For all the lurking and blending in she's been getting away with, you'd think she'd have noticed her. Then again, purple hair isn't unusual where she comes from, although it's not natural.]
It's not something I enjoy, you know.
[The reply comes out bitter, and Jamie goes back to peeling the notebook corner to shreds.]
Sure, it'd be great for that- person to have to deal with consequences for taking us, but I don't want anyone to get hurt because of it. Taking away the girl's ability to hide is just-
It's not right.
no subject
If your magic-nullifying skills are limited, then I fail to see why a short inconvenience would be a problem. They're just dragons after all.
no subject
If she's using her magic to blend in, then it's not right no matter how short the 'inconvenience' is. It can still cause long term damage.
['Dragons are people too' obviously wouldn't work here, but Jamie's almost tempted to say it anyway.]
