And then it comes crashing down
Characters: Enoch and anyone
Setting: From the dorm floors down to the cafeteria
Format: I'm starting in prose but I'll match!
Summary: Enoch, uh. Attempted to get inside help. And now he's seen the admin video.
Warnings: None yet!
Enoch stared at the screen that had come on, drawing him off the stairs on the second dormitory level to watch.
The image of Dax being torn up by Ruana's hands was burned into his vision, Dax's words still ringing in his ears. Ruana's taking over next.
The feed was off. There was no way to know if Dax was all right - but Ruana couldn't have read- ... His request! Enoch didn't linger at the terminal to react. He ran.
Enoch nearly slammed into the elevator door when he ascended to the first dorm floor, he was running in such a panic, but he managed to catch himself on the wall just in time and hit the call button. It's only a few moments, the elevator wasn't all the way at the first floor, but the ride down was agonizing. If he was alone in the elevator, he didn't stay still, his hands were on the door as if ready to push them open the moment there was any space to do it.
Naturally the elevator doors were strong enough to not actually be ruined by that. Enoch slipped sideways out the door as soon as it could admit him and he rushed for the suggestion box's counter, jumping over tables instead of running around them, his Arch occasionally catching on and knocking a chair to the ground.
At least until he pulled it from the back of his jeans and opened it in one fluid, practiced motion as he neared the box, bringing it around in a streak of blue to cut off the top of the box. His other hand was already reaching down to take...
...Nothing. The box was empty.
Enoch stared at it, his Arch slowly lowering to his side.
"No...no..."
His entire body was trembling. What had he done...? What if Ruana took it out on Dax?
He sank to the floor against the counter. Once his head was below its level, the box was, suddenly, intact.
Not, of course, that Enoch noticed. All he could do was hope that Ruana never noticed there was a hidden message in the first place. If he tried appealing to her, it would alert her to the message's presence for sure, if she didn't know of it.
So he was trapped. All he could do was sit there in the wake of his failed mad dash and stare down at the floor that separated them from the administrators, and hope the one that had a moral head on his shoulders still had his head at all come next month.

"Things like these...happen. You think you can try again next month? If Dax is still there, that is."
Dax had said once that all five administrators were needed to run the Tower. That probably ensured his safety to some extent.

But if Ruana does find it, he'll have to lay low. No telling if she'll get paranoid.
"...with any luck."
