Event: Quarantine

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...]

[ Tear happens to find herself within the room as well, not really content that she's been separated from her friends, but it seems like it's better that there are others, than being by herself. ]

My apologies for intruding.

[ It's the closest place she can get to and there's no way to tell where all of her friends are at the moment. ]

Hey, no need to apologize.

[Riku chuckles, sitting himself at the edge of one of the beds. Probably Rep's, not that he realizes this.

Though now that there's six, they've got a pretty full house. ]

So, think we should do a roll call? I know most of you guys, but if we're gonna hide out, we might as well know who we're dealing with.

[It's easier than just going "hey you," at any rate.]

[And, since Riku made it look like such a great idea, Sora sits down on the edge of one of the other empty beds.]

Well, I know most of you too, but...

[Riku had a good point - the damage outside looked like it was pretty bad, so they could be stuck here for a little while. Might as well make sure they all know each other's names, at least!]

I'm Sora.

[For the time being at least, he's content to stand. He's not sure how comfortable he feels in someone else's room, but it's better than being where the explosions are at any rate.]

A sound idea. I don't know if anyone else is new here, but I only recognize... [though he frowns because hey Riku hey there's two of you somehow oh never mind any of this] that's irrelevant.

[And a slight bow.] Please call me Xehanort. I'm pleased to make your acquaintances.

Well I know none of you. [He grinned scratching his head, more people had entered the room and the door was shut now, but he was happy enough to wait the explosions out, he went to sit next to the boy who introduced himself as Sora.] I'm Capell though.

[Rep settles on one of the beds not occupied by people-not his, as Riku has actually taken his, but that's not that big of a deal.]

I'm Riku. He thinks he is, but he's not. [He indicates his facetwin across the room.]

[Pfft. Riku snorts and rolls his eyes.]

It'd probably be easiest to just call us both Riku. Saves us from future arguments.

Thank you.

[ Tear replies to him nodding her head. She listens to their introductions before she replies with her own. ]

My name is Tear Grants. I am unfamiliar with all of you, but the appearance of the two of you remind me of someone.

[ Frankly, she met another Riku, and he was a bit older. ]

It seems like we'll be confined here for some time, so we should remain collected about our current situation.

[ Meaning she's not going to deal with arguments among look alikes. She's done enough of that. ]

Even you get confused about who you are? [Capell blinked, at least he had never actually thought he was Sigmund, as much as he pretended to be.]

Geez, as if keeping two Rikus straight wasn't hard enough already.

[He's just teasing, but really, it sounds like something else is going on. If they're both okay with being called Riku for now, though, Sora figures that it's probably better just to leave asking about it until later.]

Perhaps we should make one of them wear a badge. Riku 1 and Riku 2. Though the squabble over who is one and who is two would be a bit much, I'm sure...

[He crosses his arms casually.]

I don't suppose anyone has a better idea of the situation outside of those blasts?

[Riku 1 and Riku 2? Heh, now there's an idea. For now, Riku will go ahead and focus on more urgent matters, like the explosions outside.]

Beats me. I was there in the middle of that Q&A, and the explosion came out of the blue. One minute Riki's answering questions, and the next, he's shouting at us to go hide. I don't think he even knows why.

[He shakes his head, leaning back on his palms.]

But if I had to guess, it's probably connected to that explosion last month. The one in the elevators.

The explosion...oh yeah!

[Sora rarely uses the network, but someone had told him that it had been an explosion in the elevator that let those shadow things out. They never had figured out where it had come from, had they?]

I bet you're right about that.

What explosion is this?

[As someone who wasn't here last month, details are of the essence to him.]

I'm not quite sure what happened but there was indeed an explosion and it was caused by something or someone.

[ Somehow it felt like they were caught up in a trap. ]

I can fill in a few blanks for you guys.

[After all, he caught Jason's broadcast, which just so happened to occur shortly after the infiltration.]

Long story short, somebody let off explosives in the elevator shaft, and a whole bunch of shadow kids came crawling out of the woodwork. The funny thing is, it happened just after a huge group of us snuck through the shaft and into the administration levels.

[Was there a connection? Hard to say, but it's possible.]

[He frowned, having heard of the shadows before] So did someone who is trapped here leave the explosives?

It seems rather foolish to simply leave them laying about...

One of us or maybe one of them. It might be too early to start pointing fingers. After all, it's not like explosives grow on trees.

I suppose it cannot be helped that we are in this situation now.

[ Rather than commenting on the accident, she was more concerned about everyone's well being. ]

It doesn't change the fact that we are unfortunately locked in.

Yeah, locked in with limited space and next to no supplies. And who knows how long it'll last?

[He glances around the room, brow furrowing.]

We're gonna have to sort out who sleeps where, and unless Riki plans on feeding us, we'd better hope this doesn't take more than a day or two tops.

[Hopefully not long, starvation would be an unfortunate way to die... Sleeping arangements were at least easier to think of. Back at home they would have probably all just naturally slept three or four to a bed without much fuss, now anyways. There would have been a time where there would have been arguments, mostly from Edward, probably about how imposters didn't get to sleep in beds.

It made him smile softly] It shouldn't be too hard to work out sleeping arangements; there are six of us and four beds, so four people will have to double up and anyone who would prefer to sleep alone speak now.

[While he would have liked to hear more about their thoughts on the explosives, there were more practical concerns to be addressed it seemed.]

I'm fine either way. I don't suppose anyone has any odious sleep habits that they should make known now...

[riku do you snore]
[how about your replica does he snore too]

I hope that you are right.

[ Tear nodded her head. Tear was rather fine with whatever arrangements. She's not too picky, and she knew the situation they were all in. She couldn't afford to be picky. ]

As am I.

I'm okay with whatever, too.

[He hoped that they weren't stuck there for long, but at least they were safe for now. In the meantime, he wasn't all that worried about having to maybe having to share a bed with someone - it wasn't that big of a deal, especially compared to other stuff they would have to deal with if they were stuck there for awhile.]
