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...]

If it was an edible monster. *There are some that he wouldn't want to eat even if he was starving...*

[bloodyashes]

I'm not too picky.

[As long as it isn't an octopus monster he'll be okay, because monster carrots... Yeah, even in the Tower that's not going to happen.]

If this goes on too long it wouldn't surprise me if people were willing to eat it raw.

[warriorscribe]

Even the animated dead? The living shadows? I doubt eating them would do anyone any good.

*He'd eat even those disgusting fungus-covered cattle if he had to, but only a fool would think rotten meat would be good to eat under any circumstances.*

...I've never heard either make a sound like that, though.

[It's the Tower, dying might actually be their best way out of here.

...Asch isn't willing to be the one to test that, though. And Enoch does have a point.]

There's not many monsters that do. ...Sounds like voices.

[The murmuring outside the room abates for a moment.]

[warriorscribe]

I haven't met monsters other than the phantoms who talk. And we would recognize the phantoms' voices.

[bloodyashes]

We should probably be grateful that they aren't in here, at least the shadowy children. There's nowhere we could run to right now.

[It was possible that whatever kept the group of them in was also keeping the shadows out, which would be nice. At least if being trapped worked both ways, it wasn't entirely pointless.]

[warriorscribe]

I still wonder what it is that's out there...unless we're all hallucinating.

*He didn't know if there was a way for the psychoradiation to get up there, but...*
