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...]

Of course! But it's still possible to die from being scared, maybe it changes that much from person to person.

[He's seen it happen, that's for sure. But there wasn't enough blood that he would want to go out that way.]

If I could die a bloody and gruesome death here, all the better! But I already promised Urotsuki I would avoid that, even if it's more boring now

[evokingfool]

I won't discount that, since we all have different level of...endurance?

[Sure, let's go with that.]

You know Urotsuki-chan as well?

[bloodlessons]

[Yes, let's call it endurance for now.]

Yup, sure do! She did this weird thing with her head when I met her in the graveyard after getting here, and we keep running into each other since. She's a good kid.

[evokingfool]

She is, and I'm glad she gets to meet more people.

[The more people Urotsuki meet, the more she might find people willing to be her friend.]

Hm? The thing with her head?

[bloodlessons]

She is a little quiet, I'll give you that. But really why wouldn't anyone want to be her friend. [Colour him confused over that riddle.]

She had a tombstone for a head! I asked her if she could teach me the same, or if I could put it somewhere else on my body! It's a bummer that she couldn't tell me how.

[evokingfool]

Not everyone can get along, so they usually have their own reasons.

[Like finding her weird. Which is a bit of a minor thing when you look at the rest of the residents.]

Ever thought it might be something only she can do? One of those cases where you can't teach it to someone else for some reason?

[bloodlessons]

Ehh, that's true. It's their loss then! [Weird? Nah, that just made her all the more great!]

I did think about that a little, in my world it's not possible for everyone to learn dark magic. Heck if your body couldn't handle it, you might die! I know my friend almost did, but I wasn't trying to kill anyone on purpose that time.
