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!))

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.]
1/2
Luckily his priorities aren't completely out of order, and now that Pegasus is knee-deep in the sand, Ivan figures it would be best to find a way to help him out before it was too late. He turns away, looking up one of the trees thoughtfully.]
2/2
Hmm... [Ivan grabs the nearest branch, giving it a few testing tugs to make sure it would hold his weight before he starts climbing.]
I'll have you out in just a minute~
no subject
Ah...what are you doing?
[He stared up at him while he slowly begins to sink still, his not moving slowing it but only slightly. Pegasus bit his lip, sweating slightly.]
Please hurry.
no subject
Yes, yes, I'm going as fast as I can! Climbing trees isn't as easy as it looks, you know.
[Ivan finally pulls himself up to his destination, grabbing the branch and hoisting himself up onto it with the help of the tree trunk. Once he was on he wrapped both legs around one side of the branch, sucking in a deep, preparatory breath.]
...
[And then Ivan suddenly flips over, hanging upside down from the branch with his arms held out to Pegasus.]
Now it's your turn to hurry. [He strains.]
no subject
Fortunately Pegasus was tall enough that had he been submerged all the way it probably would've stopped at the chest but he had no way of knowing how deep this pit was. Not to mention he hadn't ever been stuck in quicksand before!]
A-ah...
[He felt himself being pulled up, the man actually quite a bit lighter than he might have looked for his height.]
no subject
Okay... [Ivan pants, face already starting to turn red from the blood rushing to his head. He grits his teeth and braces the other man against him as he tries to hold him in steady. It's an awkward position to be in, and he has to turn his face to the side to speak.]
You can...grab the branch now, right?
no subject
With some effort he wrenched the man up by his jacket, not ripping it but using his handle-hold enough to bring him upright.]
Well...that was something.
no subject
When he turns to look over at Pegasus, his face is still beet red with some sweat collected at his brow and running down his face; although to be fair, that was more due to the heat than the effort. Ivan pants a bit to catch his breath before speaking.]
Whatever...let's get down from here.
[He moves, scooting back down the branch towards the tree trunk.]
no subject
Fine...
[He mumbled as he moved, waiting for Ivan to descend first.]
no subject
Alright, come on.
no subject
All in all it was a terrible accident waiting to happen, the tangle of limbs and muffled "oof" of having someone knock you down no doubt bad enough. The surprise kiss that was entirely not his fault just took the cake, however. Well, they didn't call it leaving someone breathless for nothing!]
no subject
[It takes a second to even register the fact he's suddenly lip-locked with the American, but even Ivan decides he'd rather kick the younger man off and sputter to catch his breath instead of enjoy the happy accident.]
Ghh...imbecile. [Ivan gasps, having had the wind knocked out of him as well as a few healthy bruises from the impact.]
no subject
[He sputtered himself as he was pushed off of the other man, feeling a little more than indignant at the rude commentary.]
Don't call me an imbecile..! It's not like I did it on purpose!
[Pegasus huffed and hurriedly got to his feet.]
no subject
Yeah, whatever. You need to work on your upper body strength. [Seeing Pegasus get to his feet, Ivan follows suit, only pausing briefly to wipes some of the dirt and sand off himself.]
Hnn... [He reaches up, experimentally adjusting his jaw. When he's done he glances over at the other man, smirking.] If you wanted a kiss, you could have just asked~
no subject
Hn. Well, so what if I do! I think you need to learn some manners.
[Pegasus only looked more annoyed than anything else, his voice sharp.]
I wanted no such thing from the likes of you.
no subject
It just came out, stop being so delicate. You're the one that fell on me, remember?
[Ivan places a hand on his hip, smirking.]
Ohhuu, I see...so you're the no-kissing, one-night-stand type.
no subject
I'm not being delicate.
[Pegasus pouted more, though he conceded.]
Absolutely not! How ridiculous. I simply don't want to kiss you.
no subject
[Ivan sounds as if he might start laughing at any minute. Pegasus was really being touchy. It was kind of cute...it made him want to push his buttons.]
That's a shame. What else was I supposed to get for saving you~?
no subject
[Hey! Isn't that taking advantage of the situation? He paused enough to take it into consideration, swallowing..]
Ah...what else could you possible want besides that?
no subject
I'm not sure...what are you offering? [Nothing like taking advantage of a happy misunderstanding!]
no subject
[He knows Ivan likes to eat. And he can cook. So long as he doesn't get the wrong idea or anything!]
