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!))

no subject
Huh?!
[He stares, immediately noticing some very obvious peculiarities. This isn't a regular person, that much is obvious.]
Why were you under the table?
no subject
At least it's nice in here though, right? --Also, why is there a dog on your head?
no subject
[Vulpes has been avoiding all... that by remaining in the cafeteria. He sees no reason to wander through an indoor jungle, suffering the oppressive climate and risking being attacked by wild animals. This place has everything he needs.]
It's a fox. [He peers into Piko's eyes, frowning.] You're a robot?
no subject
[He blinks at the next question, then promptly puffs his cheeks indignantly.]
A robot, no! I'm a Vocaloid!
no subject
[He leans back when the robot moves forward. In his world there are plenty of robots, and the Legion rejects using them in any form. He is wary of them, certainly.]
A what?
[Perhaps that is simply a type of robot. What else could it be?]
no subject
A Vocaloid! [He pipes up again, sitting back on his seat and letting out a heavy, exaggerated sigh.] Nobody here ever knows what I'm talking about...
[He sticks his lip out in a little pout before turning to Vulpes again with an unnecessarily determined gaze.] It's a "vocal" "android", of course!
no subject
[Vulpes does not appear impressed by the explanation, and he's still clearly confused.]
What is an android?
[And why does vocal matter? He thought all robots were vocal.]
no subject
You know, like, a person! The only difference is I'm made of different stuff.
no subject
So... a robot.
[He reaches out and knocks on Piko's head a few times with his fist, trying to hear for any metallic sounds.]
no subject
[Piko pulls away, covering the spot on his head that Vulpes had so-rudely knocked. While it didn't flat-out sound like tapping on a piece of metal, there was definitely a different sound than if you were knocking on normal flesh and bone.]
What was that for, huh?
no subject
I wanted to see for myself.
[While he's convinced this is indeed a robot, it's difficult to deny that it isn't like any he's seen before in his world. Those robots never look like humans.]
What are you programmed to do? Espionage?
you should get on aiiiimm
[Piko rubs his head before lowering his hands, clearly a bit more wary of the other man than he was before. He event scoots a seat back.]
And don't say it like that... I'm more than just programmed to do stuff, you know!
But to answer, I already told you. I'm a Vocaloid; I sing and dance.
no subject
[Robots aren't human. He doesn't have to have their permission for anything.]
[Vulpes doesn't look at all impressed with Piko's reprimand.]
I don't see how that could be true.
...and I don't see you singing or dancing.
no subject
[Piko can sass, just you watch. He's actually feeling a bit fed-up with Vulpes at this point, but is far too nice of a boy to actually quit trying to help the other man understand just yet.]
How else would I be having a conversation with you, huh? Obviously I can do other stuff!
no subject
[That's a fact, plain and simple. He can't imagine anyone in the wasteland, even among the profligates, who would treat a robot as an equal.]
Plenty of robots are programmed to converse with humans. I see nothing unique about that.
no subject
He leans towards Vulpes as he emphasizes, voice raising slightly more than before.]
I told you I'm not a robot.
no subject
A robot that doesn't know it's a robot? That's unique.
[What were its creators thinking? If they were trying to create a robot army, he supposes it could make sense...]
no subject
Androids and robots aren't the same thing. It's like, apples and oranges!
no subject
[If you're a machine, you're a machine. Not a human, not an animal... a robot.]
Do you have any purpose beside singing and dancing?
no subject
Ah-- [O-oops, did he say that outloud? Piko shrinks slightly in embarrassment.] I mean...ah...no. I'm a performer.
