Event: Quarantine

[animusmods]

Characters: any characters trapped in rooms during the event
Setting: dormitory level rooms
Format: any
Summary: An unexpected series of explosions has trapped residents in the dorm rooms with no power and no way to get out. Try to communicate with the outside, deal with being stuck in a small room with other people... Deal with the really strange things that seem to be happening, too.
Warnings: typical Animus horror event warnings

[There are several more explosions, and the sound of things falling and crumbling outside. The dorm rooms themselves don't collapse or cave in, but the furniture and trunks and nightstands may be rattled and knocked about. Eventually, the lights flicker and go out entirely, leaving everyone in the dark. There are small red emergency lights lining the floors, but they don't seem to have come on all the way, and flicker on and off eerily.

After maybe twenty minutes everything falls silent. However, if you try the door, you'll find you can't get out...]

[It's probably a surprise that Asch doesn't react to the hanging, implied threat. Instead, he actually seems to get better control of himself, steeling and calming at least his outer emotions.

Unknowingly, Van has touched off a reminder, a little something that gives Asch strength. In comparison to before, his voice is almost serene.]

I am always willing to hear truth.

I know the truth when I hear it. [She doesn't mean to - she just unconsciously glances at Asch as she says that, a hint of a smile on her lips, before she returns her attention to Van and narrows her eyes. That almost-smile vanishes.]

And I know it's not something I'll ever hear from you.

[Not to mention, she can rip whatever truth there is for her to hear straight out of his mind - but she doesn't want him to know about that.]

[gloryseizing]

Believe what you want.

[For the moment this conversation is over. The pair is too stubborn for him to make any progress on at present. He will have to try harder and work to whittle them down a little at a time.

Van retreats to the other side of the room, though it isn't far. A small victory for Asch and Sheba.]
