CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: SNOWED IN

[intercom_voice]

[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

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.))

Ugh...

[Malik tugs his own blanket back up, eying the title screen with disdain as he realizes that his own body was shivering just as badly.]

What now...? We only grabbed one movie, and it's still freezing.

[whiterosefoes]

Well, I had a few more in my bag by the time you'd showed up-

[in Harriet's bag: Breakfast at Tiffany's, Bridget Jones' Diary, Kate & Leopold...]

...but ah, th-those were the ones I'd watch by myself.

[that stammer was definitely owed to the chill, and not the mortifying idea of introducing Malik to romcoms. Harriet shifts back under the blanket.]

We'll figure something out. For now let's just get warm. Maybe have a chat.

[Or maybe more than that - she hadn't forgotten a few long looks given to eachother before the movie managed to draw them back in.]

[obeytherod]

On second thought, I don't want to watch another movie anyway.

[Pulling the blanket tightly around his shivering frame, Malik tightens his jaw to stop his teeth from chattering.]

Maybe we can play a game...

[whiterosefoes]

... Yeah, that sounds good. How about "would you rather?"

[its beauty lies in the fact that they do not have to get off the couch to play]

[obeytherod]

[He waits for her to go on, but then when she doesn't say anything for a few seconds Malik decides to urge her on.]

...Would I rather what?

[whiterosefoes]

[Malik, you really are an idiot.]

No, that's the name of the game. You ask each other 'would you rather' questions. Like for example: Would you rather replace Edna for a week, or make out with Lisa?

[obeytherod]

I see... [Malik doesn't bother to hide his disinterest.] I was thinking something more like a card game.

[whiterosefoes]

What's wrong with my idea?

[and if he wants to play a card game, at least decide on one!]

[obeytherod]

It sounds juvenile.

[He doesn't even skip a beat when he says it. He's totally serious!]

[whiterosefoes]

You're seventeen. It's age appropriate, if you ask me!

[obeytherod]

I didn't ask you! [He quips, reaching into his cargo pants to try and find his deck. They're playing Duel Monsters and that's final!]

[whiterosefoes]

Well, too bad, it's still the truth!

[and now he's searching his pants under the blanket. Um.]

What're you doing?

[obeytherod]

[Ignoring that remark, thank you very much.]

Grabbing my deck.

[whiterosefoes]

[snort]

Hey now, we're still deciding! You can't just whip out your deck.

[obeytherod]

I've already decided. We're playing Duel Monsters.

[It's not like they need fancy holograms or actual summoning to play.]

[whiterosefoes]

Then, have you thought about how we're going to sit together without seeing each other's hands?

[Harriet crosses her arms. She might be leaning over for emphasis. Also, she's not digging for her own deck just yet, to be contrary.]

[obeytherod]

I never took you for a cheater, Harriet! [He pretty amused. The thought had never occurred to him, but now he would definitely try it.]

[whiterosefoes]

It's mostly that I take you for one. And something like that is too obvious!

[obeytherod]

I just play to win!

[In other words, if the opportunity arises...]

But fine, if you trust me so little, then we can have things your way. Just this once.

[whiterosefoes]

That's all right by me. You seem rather happy with my distrust!

[what a strange friendship they have.]

Well, are you going to answer the first question, or do you want to come up with one?

[obeytherod]

Keh keh keh...

[That's not what's amusing him. You're frightened of losing to him in a proper duel, Harriet!]

That first question? I thought that was an example!

[whiterosefoes]

[oh she is NOT. He can keep dreaming, though.]

It was, but there's no reason why it couldn't be answered as part of the example.

[she's too lazy to come up with another one ok]

[obeytherod]

...Then it depends on what you mean by "replace Edna."

[whiterosefoes]

Erm, with somebody else, not like you taking over her job or anything.

[obeytherod]

Sure. It doesn't really affect me either way. [He just has Ryou cook for him.]
