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...]

Our best case scenario is that this is part of the Tower breaking down.

[She doesn't know much about machinery, but from what she's seen from movies breakdowns involve systems blowing up, right? Overloading the power cores is how they wound up in this situation in the first place, correct?]

You think? I'm unused to seeing such explosions when something breaks down, unless it has volatile machinery, the tower doesn't seem engineered in quite that manner, to the extent I can understand it.
