CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: JUNGLE FEVER
[Much like last time, the intercom buzzes to life in the middle of the night for only a moment. An annoyed sigh can be heard.]
Oh dear. That's not supposed to happen...
[That's the last thing everyone will hear during the night. But in the morning, they will find themselves surrounded by vegetation so thick it'd be almost impossible to tell that they're in a school if they didn't already know. Vines coming out of the floorboards and covering the walls/ceilings, exotic plants growing out of the walls. Not to mention the wildlife! Just about any animal you would imagine to be in a jungle, dangerous or not, can be found lurking in the school. But don't worry! Not every corner of the campus is infested with poisonous plants and carnivorous beasts. The cafeteria is one hundred percent clear. It seems that the lunch lady's awful cooking is doing some good at keeping the wildlife at bay. In fact, anything that starts to grow anywhere near to doors of the lunchroom dies off pretty quickly!
May want to steer clear of the auditorium, though. The vegetation there is the thickest...and most dangerous.]
((TIME FOR ANOTHER EVENT. Seeing as how this one went up a day late it'll go on until the 19th. Every area is covered in vines, flowers, and animals. Some are dangerous (plants included) and some are harmless -- I'll leave that up to player discretion on what's hanging around. As long as they're plants/animals that would normally be found in any kind of jungle. Remember: nothing too big, it has to fit in the campus! The air is also really humid and muggy. The auditorium will have the bulk of the dangerous animals/plants, and also the biggest!
Lisa the nurse will be around to heal wounds or any poison (the symptoms of the poisonous plants are up to you. It's not a mind altering poison or anything, though), but her office will still be filled with vines and small animals, nothing dangerous. And as mentioned above the cafeteria is all clear and Edna will be around cooking all her awful food. Have fun!))

WHICH LANE SHOULD SOLAIRE GO TO? [Location: Anywhere/Cafeteria/Auditorium in later post]
[All across the campus, fellow junglers can spy an armored fellow hacking and slashing his way through the thick underbrush in a futile attempt to clear paths for people to get from place to place quickly. As you come across him, he raises his sword arm in greeting]
Hail stranger! How fare thee these past hours with this queer forestry all about?
--------------------------------
[Location: Cafeteria]
[You can spy a tuckered out Solaire taking a breather at one of the tables in the caf. His helmet is off, his shield and sword on the table next to it and he is drinking what appears to be some orange dusty drink from a large stone flask. Still, despite his exhaustion, he looks as upbeat as he usually sounds[
My, what an adventure! Truly, one such as myself could never have imagined such an environment for all my travels!
[What say you to that?]
cafeteria
'Tis strange, certainly. It offers resources once scarce but I fear there will be trouble should anything be lurking within those depths.
[ He sets aside a newly created poultice, lining it up with three other flasks. ]
Have you any need for curatives, you need but ask. I shall offer what I can, ser.
Re: cafeteria
Indeed! Perhaps t'would be best to gather a group and undergo some manner of expedition in order to glean a surplus of such items whilst the opportunity still exists....
But you need not worry for myself. Keep such curatives for those whom are ill prepared for such dangers. My estus is all the curative I shall need. [He raises the stone flask in his hand before taking another sippy]
[He pauses, thinking] Out of curiousity, have thou found anything that can act as an anti-toxin? Some of the plants look frightfully poisonous and I could not bare to think of another dying a slow death to poisonous materials.

Sorry for the wait!
Cafeteria
[But just as Tajima began to wonder if he'd have to drink his own pee to survive- He comes across the lunchroom! And it's wildlife-free! In fact all of the wildlife around it seem to be... dying off.]
[...Is that a good sign?]
[Eh, whatever- he just happens to be hungry enough to find out!]
Location: Around Campus
This isn't good... [He squints his eyes as some of the lights on his exterior fluctuate.]
((ooc: Piko's will end up malfunctioning a little bit if he stays in the jungle too long))
no subject
lonely as a cloudthrough the foliage. The heat was unbearable, and the air felt thick, but the fascination of the plant life in this strange place was enough to grab his attention from the discomfort. He had never seen plants like this. His home planet was almost devoid of plant life, after all.He would have walked right past the stranger were it not for movement in the corner of his eyes. How wonderful. A stranger. And a strange one too. Was this what the people of Earth called 'cosplay'? He crouched down beside him.]
Are you unwell?
no subject
It's really hot and...wet. [Placing a hand on his knee, Piko pulls himself up to his feet with a slight wobble. He doesn't appear all that apt on standing, but does so anyway.]
Do you know if there's anywhere...uh, normal?

The humid heat doesn't bother the cybrid much what with his tech being top of the line - even acid rain poses no real threat. It is unpleasant to walk around in leather but he'll live. Others, though... ]
Piko! Hey, Piko, can you hear me?
[ His eyes light up to scan the area as he yells out for his young roommate and he slices through particularly thick brush with one of his positron blades. ]
no subject
Mister Leo! [He looks around him, trying to spot the other man.] I'm over here...uh...by a big tree!

Cafeteria
[When the Legionary realizes the cafeteria is untouched by the jungle, he decides to set up camp there. Anyone who stops by will see him sitting at a table eating lunch as if nothing unusual is happening in the rest of the building.]
no subject
[Having been walking by with his own tray of food in hand; Miguel had to stop as he spotted Vulpes from a distance. He figured the man would have died of starvation in that scavenger-hunt room by now, seeing as he was given the task of finding a friend in order to leave... and Vulpes is about at friendly as an agitated snake.]
What kind of lonely, pathetic individual did you lie to in order to escape that place, eh? I'm curious.
no subject
Your pants aren't on right. Is that why you're bothering me? Unfortunately for you, I'm busy right now.

He pokes his head out near one of the seats on Vuples' side.]
Oh, hi!

around campus
[A short time later, he's carving up an unfortunate capybara. It kind of reminds him of the giant mole rats in the Mojave, only with fur.]
newly arrived (around campus)
Dammit.
[ He scratches around his abs where round bumps have formed. Seems the local insects find the man irresistible. ]
no subject
Of course it's not any less weird outside her room, and she's been climbing over roots and slipping between plants for the last hour, trying to find anyplace normal. She spots a man up ahead, scratching at himself, and tries not to smirk. Thank goodness she's not the only one irritated by this.
"Interesting day we're having, isn't it?"

Tch, right - interesting. You set this up?

However, that wasn't his main concern. The fact was, the entire campus was a maze of dense vegetation and mangroves. He could scarcely move before some living obstacle blocked his path like giantesque banana leaves, or weaving tree roots that nearly tripped him up. Before long he had an even bigger problem than simply jungle terrain to contend with. For once it wasn't even any dangerous animal or plant that proved to be dangerous to him.
He stepped forward nonchalantly, and found quite suddenly that his boots had disappeared beneath him until his feet became wedged in the densely packed sand. This had to have been a sick joke. Quicksand in a building shouldn't have been even possible. Sadly he hadn't thought of the Teddy Roosevelt mantra: "Walk softly and carry a big stick." If he had, he would have been able to extricate himself on his own.]
Just great...
no subject
but not so much poisonous food.]Ohhh~ [He stops neat by, hands on his hips and a big shit-eating grin.] You better not move, or you'll sink even faster.
no subject
Nn...
[He does look rather unamused but if the fear hasn't hit him yet it soon will. While Pegasus has been in the jungle before he usually had a guide with him to help him avoid such things.]
You—ah! It doesn't seem to matter, I'm sinking anyhow!
[He's not moving now, but that fright in his face was a bit more obvious now.]

Chopping away at vines with his sword, he travels down the halls with a critical eye on his surroundings. Someone's hunting for food!]
no subject
[Roy's never even been near a goddamn tree, much less a whole jungle before. It was overwhelming and suffocating. He could feel his chest tighten up every step he took down the halls, searching for his room so he could hole himself up in there for a while.
But he was completely lost, so...that might take a while.]
Shit, shit, shit.

The Soviet can be seen stalking after something, back arched much like a cat's as he held his knife out horizontally from his chest.]

He sighs, stopping a ways away before calling out to Ivan in a whisper.]
