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...]

[Suzaku just nodded and let Diarmuid and Cu talk, this was something he knew very little about] Alright. [He led Diarmuid to sit down and gave him the injection quickly before Diarmuid could change his mind about complying. He was ready to steady him.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid had thought himself prepared for the side effects of the shot after watching so many others take it, and besides the part that would be the most disorienting for him was over. His bond with Waver was already severed.

He is wrong. Despite his preparations, Diarmuid still jerks forward when the side effects hit and is barely able to brace himself with his free arm so that he doesn't fall off the bed. He squeezes his eyes shut to try and combat the dizziness.

Never has he been this dizzy before. It's making him feel very, very sick. Were he the kind who swore more often, he would certainly be doing it right now. As it is, he just rocks slightly on the bed, keeping his head down, and hoping the worst will pass quickly.]

[Lancer claps his hands around Diarmuid's shoulders.]

How are you feeling? You wanna lie down?

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku reached out to steady him but moved his arms away when Lancer did so instead.] I think it is best if you lie down for the moment, and try to get some sleep.

[oathshackledbird]

D-don't...

[While Diarmuid knows his brother doesn't mean it, his touch causes Diarmuid to move enough that the world starts spinning hard. It's almost enough to cause him to be sick, and he has to take several deep breaths to stop it from happening.]

Laying down. That is a good idea...

[He had wondered why Waver had given in to his request to get some sleep so easily. Now, Diarmuid completely understands why.]

[puppy_lancer]

S-Sorry!

[Lancer pulls away from Diarmuid and waits for his brother to lie down. He wordlessly looks toward Suzaku, wordlessly asking him to do something to help.]

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku stepped closer again and the look, reaching out, not wanting to touch Diarmuid without his consent but wanting to steady him.] Can you lie down? Do you need help?

[oathshackledbird]

J-just give me a moment.

[Diarmuid takes several slow deep breaths before very carefully sitting back on the bed to lay down. It takes him a while, but it's obvious that once he lays down, he almost immediately starts feeling better.

At least the world isn't moving so much in ways it shouldn't be.]

Okay...that's better. Sorry to scare you. That...was not pleasant. No wonder you and Waver almost collapsed, Suzaku.

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer lets out a sigh of relief.]

Guess I'm getting my injection lying down.

[He goes to lean against the wall next to the head of the bed.]

[swordofzero]

It wasn't pleasant [He nods sympathetically and then looks over at Cu.] You are next so you might want to go and lie down already.

[oathshackledbird]

Whenever you take your shot, brother, listen to him, okay?

[Diarmuid gives his brother a look before shutting his eyes. It only takes a few moments and he is fast asleep.]
