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...]

To be honest when Lavi first headed into the room he had been following Shion (thinking him to be Allen) but then he saw two white-heads and quickly attached himself to Allen's side. Kanda he's taken note of but past experience says that when trapped in a small room, his side is not the one to be next to. Unless they were fighting an enemy.

Which they were not.

They were (at the time) getting wounds bandaged up and taking stock of their situation. Hours later and not much else had improved, including Kanda's temper. Not willing to poke the already annoyed tiger, Lavi stays stationary on one of the beds, the foot of it in case someone wanted to sleep. Being new to this place and not knowing anyone kind of made this an odd situation. "Well, at least the explosions remind me of home."

"At least we don't have to deal with the Science department experiments this time!" He cheerfully chirps as he rolls up his pant leg. The blood seeping from the gash spanning up along the back of his leg had been contained thanks to his careful patch job. He knows how to dress wounds with the best of them, these days.

He produces a few cards from his pant leg and the pack of cards from his sleeve. He'd tried to see with his cursed eye to no result. Weird but, he'd live. "Did you see anything before the explosions?" If anyone would see something, it's Lavi. He shuffles the cards. "Want to go a few rounds?"

"I think I'd almost rather them..." At least then they'd be at home, everyone would be alive. "At least we'd have better bandages to take care of that cut." Lavi had barely been scratched for all his height, just a few nicks here and there.

"Nothing unusual, just folks asking that guy questions. I had been heading toward it to listen in when all heck broke loose." He reaches out to lightly ruffle Allen's hair, just for familiarity's sake, "Promise not to scam me right out of my clothes?"

"You don't have any money to bet and with how crowded it is, you couldn't strip." He had nothing to gain from beating the pants off of Lavi. What he said isn't that reassuring so he adds a quiet, "I promise." He catches sight of some blood on the top card from his pantleg and wipes it off. Lavi probably caught it but, he can pretend he didn't for a little while.

"I'll even let you choose what form of game we play." The cards aren't old, but they're not new either. He shuffles them quickly and cuts the deck, shuffling again just to be sure it's a fair game this time. He won't do it for most people, but Lavi is a friend.

He noticed your 'sly' avoidance at his mention of the cut there on your leg, mister. But he's not going to let it slide for long. Not if it keeps oozing like that. That and the blood you so 'nonchalantly' wiped off on your clothing.

"Fine then, I wanna play War." He's touched, Allen. And glad you still consider him a friend.

"War, it is." The deck is cut and proper amounts dealt out in the span of a few minutes. Allen doesn't bother to hide his expert level of skill from his friend. He'd seen it already. "You should go first." It's a nice offer, it gives Lavi more of a chance against him.

Just don't frighten the others with your card-shark shuffling, they might not want to play with you after this. "So I can't accuse you of cheating?" It's a light tease as Lavi readies a card to lay over, they gotta set'em down together in their own separate piles.

[[ooc; ...I have forgotten how to play War. /googles]]

"You won't be able to prove it." Allen smiles at Lavi as he sets his stack of cards down before him and readies to turn over the top card. If he's lucky he'll beat Lavi from the start. A good but not great option would be war. He tenses a little. "On the count of three. One, two, three."

At three, he turns over his top card. It's a five.

He turns his card over in his own pile near Allen's and gets a seven, then snorts. "I can probably remember the order of both stacks of cards should you decide to magic up a card you need to win the 'battle'."

Since the game's objective was to win all the cards and thus the war, the mini battles for the cards.

"Why would I do that?" Allen frowns at him in mock hurt and brightly adds. "We're not playing for money." His morals are fast and loose when it comes to card games. If he can win a large sum of cash, the opposition is going down so hard they won't even see his vicious strikes coming.

He flips over a Jack of hearts and lays it before Lavi with a pleased little smile. He isn't cheating. He's just trying to unnerve his friend into making a mistake.

"It's kind of hard to turn off or keep turned off, Allen. That scary side of you." Lavi almost wants to make a bet, a bet on who will see to Allen's leg. Because he knows Allen won't see to it until necessary, given the way he's blatantly ignoring it. Or he could always ask one of the others - maybe Kanda - to sit on him so that the redhead could see to it.

A Jack... One chance to throw down a face card, but instead Lavi's luck gives him a nine.

How right, Lavi is. Kanda actually keeps a fair distance with everyone as much as possible. He keeps his arms folded over his chest as he regards everyone. He's obviously very irritated, but at least he hasn't tried killing anyone. Shh.

"At least the explosions back at home meant we had enemies to get rid of. Now we're trapped in a room with nothing to do. I think I prefer an Akuma attack than this crap we're stuck in now." There wasn't anything to do, and he can't imagine being able to meditate without having his concentration broken with so many people in this enclosed space.

Which is hilarious in such cramped quarters. Tell him Kanda, how are you doing that when Lavi's taken the spot furthest apart from everyone? It means you have to be somewhat near him, right? But yes, let's refrain from killing anyone, who knows how long they'd have to be in here with a rotting corpse.

Despite the fact that no one is going to be a corpse. Not really. But Lavi doesn't know if Kanda knows that. He's tormented by all the information he's learned from the others.

"If we could get out of here I bet we'd probably find something to fight." After all, something had to trigger this kind of attack. Only he hasn't heard any monstrous noises or growls and grumbles from people who hadn't gotten their prey.

There is just not enough room in this place where everyone can have good distance between each other. He's already mad enough about not having his own room.

He pulls Mugen out. "So what you're implying is that we try and get out." You do know he'll try, right? Like you know this was gonna be something Kanda is highly considering.

At least the room isn't too cramped over where Lavi is. The whole 'stranger' thing has kept them somewhat apart from him, preferring to take care of the wounded friends they knew and were more comfortable with. Made him feel somewhat like he had the spots to be honest...

Do you even have the room to pull Mugen out and swing it without hurting anyone? No. Put it away, silly man. "It couldn't hurt, we could at least try unhinging the door and see if we could see what's blocking it."
