[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.))

[The door to the nurse's room suddenly flies open, revealing a tanned man clad in a dark red robe. Under one arm was tucked an anatomical cross-section of the human torso and under the other was a mess of sheets. Between his lips rested a cherry lollipop and perched atop his head was a little pink nurse's cap.

Without moving, his eyes trace the hall in front of him while his lips twitch into a smirk.]

I wonder...where am I?

Today, everybody received a neatly written note under their doorstep:

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20TH ONLY
COME DOWN TO THE BEACH FOR A SPECIAL FEAST!
We will be having BBQ, ice-cold sodas and alcohol (please only drink if you are 21 or older, thank you), and a cooler filled with icecream. There will also be beach toys and towels for the kids. Enjoy the fun and the sun!

So, if you were so curious as to let that note tantalize you and headed to the beach just outside the Campus, you would find the sweet nurse Lisa to greet and welcome you in...and then lunch lady Edna scowling at you as she cooked.

At least with Lisa's supervision, the food might just be bad, instead of likely to give you food poisoning, right?!

"Enjoy the fun and the sun!"

[Though he arrived quite a few days ago, Matt has kept mostly to himself. Less contact with people out in meat space, the better. He's found his way around the campus with the exception of maybe the East Wing - lack of interest there, really - and settled in as well as he can. It's strange, of course, knowing that you're supposed to be somewhere else but given the recent activities of both the Saints and Luchadors, he'll take this place. Less chance of him dying.

Well, except maybe of boredom. The place is lacking in electronics and Matt is getting a little stir crazy. He's come across a couple of computers in the lounge but they've all been dead. The idea to gut them and find out just what the problem is has crossed his mind more than once but he's managed restraint; however, there's only so much he can do.

Caving, Matt disconnects and pulls one of the towers out and lowers its onto its side. He follows suit, settling down next to it and opening the pouch on his leg for a screw driver. Once the back is off, the video card comes out first. He then moves on to the RAM, continuing piece by piece until the tower is striped and he's staring down at the motherboard.]

Strange, the components are all fine. Looks like it should be working.

[With something of a pout, he grabs at the power supply he removed for closer inspection.]

[So, after the very loud and disruptive sound of a jet-plane making its decent, this lands nearly in the courtyard:

And from that ridiculous jet steps out none other than the multimillionaire, Seto Kaiba. He looks steely-eyed as usual.

...Now, this wasn't the KaibaCorp building. Which was especially bizarre, considering he was driving the damn thing.]

[Having met the Courier a short while ago, Boone has felt more encouraged to look for a way out of this place again. Today he'd spent some time just strolling along the corridors, opening doors and shaking his head when they led to nothing more than common rooms or vacant dorms. In fact, he's almost losing hope again when the next door he opens gives him a shock. It... seems to lead straight into the Mojave wasteland.

Boone is, by nature, a suspicious kind of guy. And yet he can smell the scorched earth and feel the heat from the sun, even here- real as the clothes on his back. This has to be it... right? Gripping his rifle, he slowly edges into the room. If this really is the Mojave... well, for all he knows there could be a cazador nest just out of his line of sight. He'd rather made sure the coast is clear before trying to find Elle.

He stops dead when he feels something cold and heavy clamp around his neck. His first instinct is to grab at it, and his hand finds metal. Though the door hasn't shut behind him, he suddenly realises that if he tries to get back through there now, the collar around his neck will detonate. He can't say how the realisation comes to him- he didn't even know it was rigged to explode- but he suspects it's something to do with this room. So... this isn't really the Mojave, huh. More like a trap- and he fell for the bait. Swearing under his breath, Boone backs away from the door and checks out his surroundings. No doubt there are some requirements he has to fulfill in order to get out of here.]

((this room happens to be a ~*~*team building exercise*~*~! as soon as another person enters the room with you, one of two things will happen- you will be attacked by multiple enemies (their type depending on which world you've stepped into, obviously), or a natural disaster of some kind will occur (think earthquake, hurricane, that kind of thing). in both cases, you and your partner will have been fitted with an explosive collar, set to detonate if you try to cross the door back into the school too early, if you and your partner wander too far from each other, or if your partner dies. your character will be aware of these rules the moment the collar is fitted- don't ask how, you probably don't want to know. the world you step into can be any kind you like, so go nuts! the collars will automatically deactivate and drop off once you and your partner have survived a full night or day.))

[It was one of those nights. The kind of night where Miguel's most painful memory lays alongside him in bed, quietly strangling tears from his eyes. Sometimes it seemed like no matter what bed he tried to escape to, the memory always knew where to find him; seeping into his mind just to constrict and choke the happiness out of his brain. ...He's been far too sober for far too long.]

[Hefting himself up from bed, Miguel decides to go on yet another search for anything capable of numbing his senses. Booze is preferred- but anything capable of dulling him down and blurring his thoughts would have to do tonight. He just needs something to fix this damned forced sobriety that has plagued him for nearly a month now.]

[...And luckily, it isn't long before he finds it! Completely by chance, the Spaniard happened to wander into an open door which mysteriously didn't lead to yet another classroom- but instead a large open bar and lounge. To Miguel it might as well have been heaven. He has already enjoyed quite the plethora of drinks available by the time others began showing up, and so he's pleasantly drunk himself at the moment, and in a much better mood than he had been in previously.]

[Where did he get that guitar from? Well, don't worry about that. But as of right now he's sitting upon the bar table itself; playing the guitar impressively well- especially when considering the fact that he is drunk and his wrist is still healing from a fight he got into about a week ago.]

((OOC: Perhaps it's the sweet sound of a Spanish guitar that draws you in? Or just the inviting sight of actual booze? Either way- DRINK UP! Miguel is distractedly absorbed in playing his guitar at the moment but feel free to poke him regardless or chat amongst yourselves.))

Current Mood: drunk
Current Location: AN OPEN BAR/LOUNGE

[Very much annoyed that he mysteriously can't seem to exit the room he entered for some reason, Miguel lets out an annoyed grunt.]

Que suplicio- What now??

[This room is very odd indeed; mounds of random junk littering the floor against the walls and in all four corners of the large space. In the middle of the junk-filled room, there is a table. On that table is a hat. Within the hat are small slips of paper with something written on them.]

[Entrants into this certain room will find themselves unable to leave until they draw a slip of paper and then locate whatever (or whoever) is written on it. The door opens only when the item is brought out with them. Items can be nearly anything; ranging from a puppy to a shoe to a signed copy of the Necronomicon to whatever else.]

((OOC: Players have the option of searching through the mounds of junk for their item (which may take a long while), or participating in a little forced interaction with those other unfortunate trapped souls to obtain what they need to leave. They can help each other out, work only towards their own item, or just mingle with others for the sake of it. It doesn't matter what method they use to get the item or where they find it... Just get what you need! Extra points for creativity in terms of whatever your character must find. It can be just one item or several. For convenience, I'd recommend naming the item that your character must find in the subject-line of your comment. Have fun!))

[Hey- waitaminute... THAT doesn't look like one of the nurses you may remember from your arrival in the nurse's office. Hm.]

[Nonetheless, she soon approaches you as you catch her eye.....]

Oh my; you look awful.

[Anna approaches you in the hallway; wearing a hyper-sexual nurse outfit. One must wonder whether this is the result of Campus-magic shenanigans, or just another highly impractical costume of her own collection.]

[Canting her head to the side; a look of faux-concern on her features.] Have you had a check-up lately?

I absolutely insist that you see me for... a thorough inspection. It's for your own good, really~

((OOC: ANNA HAS OFFICIALLY GOTTEN BORED ENOUGH TO RESORT TO HER USUAL TROLLING WAYS. Note: In case you don't know, this lady is a sadist who gets off on other people's pain/embarrassment- So if you respond here she WILL do her best to make you as uncomfortable as possible- be it through a brief casual prank or something much more sinister. She may get flirty, or put you through some pain, or humiliate you, or all of the above. Therefore, if there's something I just mentioned that you DON'T want your character to go through (i.e- nothing too sexual or no bruising or no humiliation)- please specify. Don't worry about outright gore or anything overly hardcore since she's mainly just in a playfully dominating mood. ~~Unless you desire otherwise~~.))

((Also yes I know I owe some tags which I will get to; I was just really in the mood to make this post. ...Even if I'm double-posting shut up))

[This poor soul finds himself awake in a clinic. He gets up and looks around the clinic once more--a subtle tilt of the head is seen. How did he wound up here? He gets up and tells the Nurse that he's fine. No need to worry. So, he opens the door, expecting to see a full hallway but it turns out... empty? He gives a long stare before turning back at the Nurse.]

Excuse me, but where exactly am I?

[The Nurse simply tells him he's at The Campus and that she hopes no one has to stay here for too long. He gives a small nod. If it's an educational institution, why is it so empty? He gives her a quick thank you and walks out of the clinic, shutting the door slowly behind him and giving a light sigh.

Maybe, just maybe, there might be students around if he looks so he does just that but the more he walks the more it continues to look empty.

There's a quiet laugh from him. This is unbelievable... and concerning.

He find himself asking one thing and one thing only:]

What exactly is going on here?

[Normally, one might count walking into a standard classroom only to find a bright, sunny beach instead to be a very pleasant surprise. But as Tadakuni stood there; blankly trying to wrap his head around what just happened- Only one question plagued his mind enough to dwarf all other concerns.]

.......

WHY AM I IN SCHOOL TRUNKS AGAIN!?

((OOC: Welcome to the Beach Room! Once inside, everyone who enters will suddenly appear dressed in swimwear of some kind. Unfortunately, those who try to leave will find an invisible barrier blocking them from exiting the room for at least 3 hours. So have fun, take a swim, play some volleyball, enjoy the cheesy beach-party music, or find some other activity to occupy your time! ~~Emergency suntan lotion will of course be instantly available for all you beach-goers to avoid a nasty sunburn~~!))

[/PROFIT! ...Wait. No.]

[A mid-battle Anna Williams has just appeared in the campus; very much confused and annoyed at the fact that she is no longer looking at her assassination-target through her weapon's scope lens. Rising up to her feet and looking around, the woman's scarlet-red lips form a slight pout. How terribly inconvenient...]

[The female dons a flashy and expensive red silk dress with a dangerously-high slit; her brunette hair fashionably cropped to frame her face. The 'click-clack' of Anna's heels can be heard as she casually saunters through the rubble, debris, and smoke- which she just caused herself- and she looks for someone who can provide her with some sort of explanation as to what's going on here.]

((ooc: SO I DECIDED TO DROP IN WITH ANNA AFTER ALL. For those unfamiliar with her, a full description of Anna, her history/personality, and an example of her voice/fighting style can be found in her profile, if it helps anyone.))

Current Mood: annoyed
Current Location: A very messy hallway

[Today, Nero was unfortunate enough to find out about "unique" properties of the Northern Wing. Worst of all, he seemed to be flat-out stuck in the room until he did what was required of him.

On the wall above a large fold-out table there was a note:]

Please enjoy the cupcakes before exiting the room.

[Underneath, the table was decorated with seven plays multicolored frosted cupcakes, all of which looks absolutely delectable. There was definitely something suspicious about them though, even without the note...]

((OOC: So, the rules. Basically your character can't leave the room until they eat at least one cupcake. The effects are based off the seven deadly sins, and you can interpret how your character would represent those sins however you wish. Here's the list:

Blue Icing: Lust (intense desire for power, money, fame, etc.)
Orange Icing: Gluttony (over-indulgence to the point of wastefulness)
Yellow Icing: Greed (excessive materialism)
Light Blue Icing: Sloth (physical or spiritual laziness)
Red Icing: Wrath (uncontrollable hatred and anger)
Green Icing: Envy (jealously driven desire)
Violet Icing: Pride (perceived/desired superiority and a lack of respect for others)

Now have fun and mingle! ♥ ))

intercom_voice

[Whether you're waking up in the clinic just now, or have already done so and are now wandering the halls, a sudden screech of microphone feedback blares over the speakers before fading back out.

A moment later, a woman clears her throat. Her voice is husky and mature, but still feminine, and overall she sounds very authoritative...if not a bit sarcastic.]

Good evening, and welcome to the new school year. I hope your arrival was a pleasant one, last year everybody threw-up from motion sickness, it was quite messy.

[There's a long pause as she seems to think, or perhaps just let any anticipated bustling chatter calm down.] Now, you're all intelligent human beings...for the most part. But I suppose I'll pretend I'm talking to the insipid uneducated masses for a moment; it shouldn't prove too difficult.

[She clears he throat again.] In every hall, you shall find a small intercom. You may use that to ask me any questions after my announcements and "privately" converse. Now, if you head North down one of the halls near the clinic in the Central Wing and keep going, you'll eventually come to either the West or East Dorm Wings, depending on which fork in the road you chose. There you'll find all necessary bunk beds and spare socks.

So, make sure you're all well rested for class in the morning; we wouldn't want to get a failing grade now would we?

[And with that, there's another burst of feedback before her announcement abruptly ends. Anybody who had been wandering the halls will notice a distinct lack of...well, anybody else aside from new arrivals, the Nurse, and the Lunch Lady.

The strange woman over the loudspeakers may have mentioned classes, but the school seemed completely devoid of any teachers to provide those classes. In fact, a lot of things seemed...off.]
