[It'd been like any other morning until he'd caught sight of the makeshift calendar on the back of his bedroom door, and the significance of the date had hit him. A year. A whole year he'd been in this place. Maybe things were fine back home; maybe he'd go back to exactly when he'd been taken, and 'Jem was okay, and...

But maybe not. Who knew? He could get back and a year would've passed there too, and-

Everything else that followed that train of thought was something he didn't want to deal with. This was the last straw; days ago he'd gone to show Karasu a few of the pictures he'd taken and been unable to find any trace of her anywhere. There'd been no need to tell Bakura this time; he expected he'd figure it out on his own. There were two ways Kai felt like distracting himself. One involved magic and some good old-fashioned destruction; the other was childish, but a lot less likely to end with people being angry or hurt. (Though why he still cared, he wasn't sure.)

So he started by filling up a pillowcase with candy and soda from the vending machines. That was followed by stealing the cushions off every couch and chair in the lounge. Having dumped those via portal into his room, he'd gone back and helped himself to the blankets, pillows, and dining chairs of as many of the empty dorm rooms surrounding his as he could manage.

His door's open now, with several chairs shoved against the wall outside while he builds, coming out now and again for another chair or a blanket to drape over them. He's turning his entire dorm into one giant blanket fort, and then he and Surge are going to camp out in it the rest of the day, at least.]

[So, that two-month-long magical coma sure was a thing. A few days after she woke up and got to speed with Malik and Bakura, Harriet can be found awkwardly loitering around in the halls. It really doesn't feel like that much time has passed. Everything about this place looks exactly the same as before - it's enough to drive her crazy. Or at least, crazier than she's already become after the whole Super Nightmare she was having.]

2
[After a while, though, she starts to move. She had business to take care of... like officially moving out of the Rose Dorm. From now on, she needs to stay close to Malik. That's something that can't be helped, so she'll just have to tell Henry and Rosenkreuz. Slipping through the barrier surrounding their two dorms, she unlocks it with the key. However, there's no one there. The room looks like it's been unused for quite some time. She frowns, going through all of their things, but eventually she finds the red rose cards, scattered around on the floor. ...Which is something none of them would ever do.]

Gone...?

[Henry and Eleanor must have been gone, vanished the way Jack went. But the rose cards were still here... maybe it was because no one had ever taken them from Harriet in a duel? But the white rose cards were also there, if the barrier was in tact. Rosenkreuz would have taken the cards if he'd known though, and so Rosenkreuz must have been gone too.

They probably all went home. She was the last one left... maybe she'd have felt bitter over that, before. But now, she was already heading in a new direction. So, while she felt a bit sad, it didn't matter. What did matter was securing these cards. So she scoops up the red, and then goes to the other dorm. The white rose cards were arranged in a magic circle. She picks up a notebook and scratches out notes on their alignment before collecting them as well. The door is open as she does this, if anyone happens by. She's not happy about finding them gone, but she's just dealing with it by muttering sarcastically to herself.]

Well, at least it saved me an explanation.

3
[Welp, having the rose cards back is at least a good distraction from her coma-and-missing-friends woes. She only knows how to use the red ones, but hey, who doesn't enjoy frivolously stopping time? She can be found out on the beach, freezing the waves at their crest and such. Though it might take some magical sensitivity in others to notice this happening at all...]

Scenario A
[Malik's other personality had been out for a couple months now, and then suddenly, just like that...he fell to his knees clenching his teeth and holding his head in pain. The other him lets out a snarl of fury and pain as his hair loses its style and falls back into place. Malik is in control again as he sits there on his knees staring down at his hands in a daze. Despite having been out of control of his body for months in this timeline, he doesn't look so bad for it. His other personality didn't seem to do any damage...to him.

For the time being, his Campus memories are fuzzy and the memories of the place he'd been trapped in--that place filled with boxes where they had to solve murders and find the possessed killers--they're sealed off. He'd been one of those killers and he died for it, but right now all he knows is how hollow he feels, as if consumed by a guilt he couldn't place.

There's only so much he can handle at once, and coming back into touch with his body is the first thing, so he rises to his feet and stumbles forward.]

Scenario B
[...Malik doesn't dare to go back to his dorm yet, so he sits on the grassy outskirts near the cliff side. This is where he summoned Ra, night after night... It's been a long time since then, but somehow it feels even longer. He feels like he's aged tremendously, but he can't figure out why.

Something to do with his Father... With Harriet, and Bakura. Looking for them might mean finding out the answer, and he has every intention of doing that, but first he needs a minute. Besides him, Twin-Headed Behemoth is summoned to keep guard and warn him of anyone who may be approaching.

He's still donning his alter ego's trademark purple cape even now.]

[It's that time of year again! And with it, meant time for celebration! It's not clear who set everything up, but just outside the campus' gates lie an extravagant set-up on the beach.

Nearer the grass, but still sitting on the sand are a few long tables covered in food. There's all sorts of classic barbeque party foods, from burgers and ribs to mac & cheese, and they're all kept hot on disposable foil trays sitting neatly above small burners. Of course the party goers are not without some options! On top of all the meat, chips, and cheese, there's classy fruit bowls and salads kept shaded from the sun and cooled by miniature ice sculptures.

The beach itself has erected a volleyball net, pool toys and water guns, along with a giant bouncy castle. The water is cool and the waves are big enough to surf but not too large to intimidate the average person. Surf and boogie boards are readily available, and a changing tent has placed nearer the rocky cave wall to allow people to change into one of the swimsuits piled up onto the bench nearby.]

((ooc: MINGLE! tag around and have fun~))

intercom_voice

[Whoops. She's running a little late it seems, for today, the intercoms buzz into action a little late.]

Ahem. Attention, students!

[The husky voice of - well, the Voice that speaks over the intercom - echoes through the halls.]

Now that we're all done with our bout of spring sickness, it's time to buckle down to our studies! Remember that tests may appear at any time, and it would be such a shame if you were all to fail and be kept back another year.

And don't forget to be welcoming to our new arrivals, won't you? They're quite behind the times, after all.

[The person who stumbles out of the nurse's office now is one that would be hard to mistake, and one that some people might recognize.

Karasu feels... strange. Disorientated. If Lisa is to be believed, then she's lost close to... two weeks' time. But it wasn't like the others, where they seemed to just come back after being sent home for however long. She never went anywhere. It's like she's been in a coma for all that time, except that Lisa even confirmed she wasn't there with her.

So what the hell happened?

Unfortunately, despite Lisa's best attempts, Karasu's somewhat distracted state has left her leaving without something very important. Namely, her shirt, meaning that everyone she stumbles past is getting an interesting view.

Or everyone she stumbles into.]

Ah, sorry!

[While Kai isn't exactly a good cook, Ryou's concern about his diet and the offer of cooking lessons has gotten him to at least try more often, instead of mostly relying on charred hamburgers and candy out of the vending machines. He may have gotten in a little over his head deciding to give pot roast a shot, though.

Way over his head. Somehow he's managed to pretty much kill the meat as dead as if he'd cast Firaga on it, and the smoke currently drifting out into the hallway through his open door is dark enough to cause worry. Anyone that was around when Nero caught the school on fire might be concerned it's happening again, but nope, no problem!

Just a really over-cooked piece of meat and a frustrated teenager.

And his barking dog.]

Surge, quiet! It'll blow away...eventually.

[Yeah, he already opened the bedroom windows, it's not helping much. Kai takes the yellow Lab out into the hall and makes him sit by the door, giving him a narrow look.]

Sit. Stay. Don't bite anybody.

[The dog whines, settling onto his haunches as Kai ducks back into his room to try and wave more of the smoke out.]

moderndaydragon

[Karasu's decided to sit outside in the courtyard today, mostly out of a desire to actually get outside for a bit and just wanting to sit somewhere in the open, outside of the irritating (if no longer twisty) building.

While idling in the quiet has been relaxing, she's begun to sing after a while; it was to herself, at first, but she's gotten loud enough for anyone nearby to hear it if they choose... though if they let their mind wander too freely while listening, they'll end up with an almost realistic-feeling series of mental images.]

♪ In an ordinary feeling of love, my heart pounds, and I will set up my trap for you... ♫

[It's a song that was on something she snagged from one of the rooms that's gotten stuck in her head, even despite the rather... interesting meaning behind it.]

shadowscall

[Once he'd found Surge (and that hadn't been easy or sane) Kai had relocated outdoors. For the last day or so, it's been just like old times...almost. His actual camp isn't too far away from where he is now, sitting on the beach with a makeshift fishing rod. Sure, he'd packed as much food as he could get away with, but why go through it if he doesn't need to?

Assuming he can actually catch something. It's kind of boring, waiting for the damn fish to bite. Surge had gone trotting off to explore not too long ago, leaving Kai to stare aimlessly out at the ocean.

Even the chill in the air isn't bothering him much. Boriiiiing.]

C'mon already! Stupid fish.

intercom_voice

[It seems that the building is once more up to it's old tricks. Today might seem like an ordinary day; there are no foreboding clouds or storms or blizzards, everyone's talking normally... except something is definitely wrong. Wasn't that door you just came through the door to your dormitory? And why are you on the ceiling? ...well at least you won't be there for long!]

((ooc: From today to the 20th, the building is doing a constant shuffle! The rooms are constantly switching around, and the same door could lead to multiple places over the course of the day. Of course, this means that you could walk into the cursed rooms from the North Wing at any time...

But it's not just rooms switching around. Doors might be on the ceiling, the staircase to the roof might suddenly drop you into the pool when you reach the top, and just because a door led to a room before, that doesn't mean it will now... it might lead to a window, or a brick wall, or a tree... or it could drop you down into a room from the ceiling. Do take care~! Logic might have no place here, but gravity surely will...))

[Kai had finally decided to brave the North Wing in search of some cloaks for Ryou and himself. After all, you couldn't play a proper game of Mages and Warriors without them. It hadn't surprised him much when he'd stumbled on a room full of capes, cloaks, and armor, of all things. Avoiding trying on any of the latter had been a challenge, but eventually he'd found a sapphire blue cloak he thought Ryou would like, and a black one for himself. Deciding to try it on, Kai hadn't even noticed that it'd gone from fitting perfectly to being way too big. In fact, there were a lot of things he hadn't noticed.

Like the fact he was eight years old again.]

These are so neat!

[So now there's a little silver-haired boy scurrying down the hallway to his room, cloak dragging on the floor behind him while he clutches the blue one to his chest. He knows he lives here now, but he doesn't remember being older, or any of the people he's met in this place. He'll probably find it strange that he knows their names, though...]

(OOC: Okay, so there's a room in the North Wing that's doing weird stuff (again). Kai wanted the cloaks for a childish game, so he's temporarily reverted to being a short stuff. Have fun with that.)

[Since wiping out the last of the Heartless that had been roaming the island, Kai had for all intents and purposes ceased to exist. He'd holed himself up in the room he shared with Tenar and spent as much time sleeping as he could get away with. The younger boy had managed to drag him out of bed a few times so Kai would shower and eat, but he kept to himself otherwise. What he'd done...it was inexcusable. How could he have let himself slip so far? 'In control of it', sure. More like it had taken control of him. He hadn't given a thought to Ryou or Karasu-

In fact, not giving a thought to either of them right now is the best comfort he can give himself. Instead he's curled up on the couch in a blanket, sketching away, intent on losing himself in the lines of the drawing he's trying to replicate. Tenar had taken Surge out earlier, and Kai has a feeling if the kid comes back to find him in bed again, he's going to get dumped right out of it.]

shadowscall

[A simple but intense dislike for Bakura had evolved into a hatred so strong Kai almost didn't know what to do with it. He'd tried distracting himself with friends, games, his dog...nothing really seemed to help as much as practicing his magic, and then only because every time he cast it, he was pretending he was using it on the Creeper. After a while even that didn't work. It hadn't taken him long after the stabbing incident to start practicing another of his skills, and while controlling the first Shadow he'd managed to summon had been a disappointment, he'd gotten better. Good enough, in his opinion, to carry out something he'd been considering for a while, but hadn't decided on with absolute certainty until Karasu was sobbing her heart out on his couch.

Killing the bastard won't be permanent, but maybe taking his Heart will be.

After locking Surge safely in the bedroom, Kai checks one more time to make sure the Blue Eyes Keychain she made for him is hanging from his belt before heading to the door. As his hand grasps the knob, a flash of silver catches his eye; the ring 'Jem had given him. Frowning, he tugs it off and goes to hide it in a kitchen drawer. The hell he's wearing it while he does this. The thought stirs an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach, and Kai shoves it away. Time to get on with it.

Forgoing the door this time, he opens a Corridor instead, focusing on pinning down the Creeper's location. He's pretty sure...Ah. Feels like the library. A smirk touches his lips before he steps through. Bakura might be gone by the time he gets there, but it's not like it matters.]

(OOC: So, Kai's finally had enough of Bakura's crap and sorta...snapped. His intention is to go after just him, but things are going to get out of hand. Heartless will be roaming the island - a lot of them. For simplicity's sake, they'll be limited to Shadows and Neoshadows. Feel free to deal with them as you see fit, but remember, only magic (including magical weapons) or the Keyblade can destroy them.

Important notes: All event-related threads must stay in this post. If a Heartless takes your character's Heart, it counts as death; they'll revive in the clinic within three days (at least). No Nobodies are allowed to be generated if your character becomes a Heartless.

Kai should hopefully slip back into the land of sanity within a few hours of starting this fiasco, and he'll start cleaning up his mess then. Mostly hunting down the suckers, but he can do rescues too if needed. It may take him a few days to catch any stragglers.)

intercom_voice

[Today, something somewhere went wrong. On the evening on the 15th, any bilingual (or otherwise) knowledge granted by the Campus has simply...disappeared. At least for anybody walking by the North Wing.]

Tja ... det här kommer att lägga sordin på våra studier, är nu inte det?

[Translation: Well...this is going to put a damper on our studies, now isn't it?]

((ooc: So! For the next 5 days (the 15th~20th), your character officially only knows their native tongue. Aka, whatever language they primarily grew up with. They can no longer read, speak, or understand any other language but.

For fun you can even use Google Translate to show what your character is speaking at a glance! Don't worry, we all know it's probably gibberish :P

If you go the Google route, please be sure to put a translation at the bottom. If not, then please take care to specify what language your character is speaking in at the start of every thread.

If you have any questions, just head to the mod plurk or send this account a PM, but most importantly--have fun!))

wildcard_of_the_desert

[Has a creepy, stalkerish or just plain rude valentine made it under your doorstep? Probably, at least until Bakura got lazy and stopped bothering. Regardless, do you want to express how you feel about said valentine to him? Then this is the place to do so!]

obeytherod

[Malik's been doing this awhile now. Summoning Ra in the middle of the night and trying to burn through the barrier. It's been weeks and he still hasn't succeed. All he's gained is apparent infamy on a whiteboard in the nurse's office, a lot of sleepless nights, and wasted time.

This time, unlike the others, he sticks around in the aftermath to lay back on the grass and admire the stars. Or maybe he was scorning them with his envious gaze. Even the stars that didn't move in the night sky seemed to have more freedom than him.

He wonders if he's trapped here forever. If he is... Then he wonders how selfish it would be to wish Rishid and Ishizu were with him. All he ever wanted in his life was freedom, and after five short years of coming closer and closer to it, it was taken from him again.

This place was cruel. Even the coolness of the grass against his skin was no comfort to him now.]

((ooc: to bypass any potential goldfishing, each thread is a different night.))

Current Mood: dramatic baby

[Kai's in the game room today, having ended up distracted by old memories. So instead of beating the crap out of a scantily-clad pixelated character, he's currently sitting off to one side of the room, on the floor, with a Monopoly board set up in front of him.

He's not playing alone, either. At least it looks that way; the game's completely set up for two people, money and deeds, and two tokens are on the board.]

...I think I have enough money for a hotel...

[And apparently he's either talking to himself or thin air. Hopefully the former.]

vengeance_driven

[Do you know what happens when you put a confused Serb Yugoslavian expatriate in the middle of a strange building in a strange place while he's in the possession of his favorite carbine rifle? He skulks through a hallway quietly, looking for a way out.

Niko nears a window with his back to the wall. And off in the distance? That jungle? That sure wasn't Middle Park. Not long before he heard something that sounded like the most fucked up war-zone he's ever been near. More rushing fire, less bullets. So he's just playing it careful until he finds some sort of damned map.

First he finds a soda machine, though. And that soda machine is not a Sprunk soda machine. He ventures closer, pokes it with the gun as if that's going to help anything, and moves to look behind it as if he's searching for the mechanism for a bomb in an obviously fake piece of inexplicable equipment. Surveillance maybe?

He's pretty sure he's not in Liberty State, anymore.]

Oh, here we go. [Traces of his Balkan accent in those sarcastic sounding words he goes back around to the front of the soda machine, not creeping along for the time being and with his rifle lowered at his side. He's ready to hop behind that thing defensively though.]

((OOC: New person, new character. Niko Bellic from GTA IV. Snarky bastard but pretty friendly and easy to reason down.))

shadowscall

[Kai's managed to dig up at least two books on memories, but they aren't as simple as 'How to recover lost memories in five easy steps'. The books he's found look to be similar to the spellbooks he's studying from, and that means he's definitely going to need Karasu's help going through them. Even if they find something useful, he wouldn't dare try to cast anything on her; he's hoping it'll at least point them in the right direction. Kai has a sneaking suspicion the Creeper's involved in the mess somewhere, just based on what Karasu had told him.

Honestly, if it weren't for Ryou...

Kai takes another bite of his carrot stick and glances over at the closed bedroom door from where he's sprawled on the couch, flipping through pages. He'd put Surge in just a while ago, and so far the big Labrador's being as quiet as a mouse.]

moderndaydragon

[Today, out of boredom, Karasu's taken over a spot in the lounge area to play around with her cards a little. Thanks to the card machine, she's managed to get both sets of the Six Samurai, and she's currently working on her two different decks, on top of trying to figure out exactly what some of these cards do.

After all, what the hell is a Syncro Summon?

She can be occasionally heard humming or murmuring to herself, the table full of snacks and wrappers giving a good idea of just how long she's been here.]
