[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!))

[Very much annoyed that he mysteriously can't seem to exit the room he entered for some reason, Miguel lets out an annoyed grunt.]

Que suplicio- What now??

[This room is very odd indeed; mounds of random junk littering the floor against the walls and in all four corners of the large space. In the middle of the junk-filled room, there is a table. On that table is a hat. Within the hat are small slips of paper with something written on them.]

[Entrants into this certain room will find themselves unable to leave until they draw a slip of paper and then locate whatever (or whoever) is written on it. The door opens only when the item is brought out with them. Items can be nearly anything; ranging from a puppy to a shoe to a signed copy of the Necronomicon to whatever else.]

((OOC: Players have the option of searching through the mounds of junk for their item (which may take a long while), or participating in a little forced interaction with those other unfortunate trapped souls to obtain what they need to leave. They can help each other out, work only towards their own item, or just mingle with others for the sake of it. It doesn't matter what method they use to get the item or where they find it... Just get what you need! Extra points for creativity in terms of whatever your character must find. It can be just one item or several. For convenience, I'd recommend naming the item that your character must find in the subject-line of your comment. Have fun!))

In the depths of the darkness, a presence stirred. The light echo of footsteps drew across a cobblestone walkway that moved steadily closer to the front of the school grounds. While he'd previously awoken in the empty clinic he'd immediately gone outside, wanting to take a better look at where he'd woken up. Judging from his powerful frame and the combat utility belt he sported along with the large sword strapped to his back, half revealed from his faded black long coat, it was safe to say he was no mere ordinary man.

Before long, a mysterious sparkle began to reflect from the surface of the dark blue pendant shining from the breast of the very person it belonged to, a wide-brimmed traveler's hat drawn low over his eyes making it difficult to see his face all that well. The pendant ranked a distant second to the hauntingly, if not unnaturally beautiful visage that showed briefly below the traveler’s hat. Below the scarf wrapped about his visage that he drew down over his nose there was thick, masculine eyebrows, the smooth bridge of a nose, and tightly drawn lips that manifested the iron strength of his will. Set amid stern features shared only by those who had survived the numerous battles of a grief-ridden world, his eyes harbored sorrow even as they sparkled.

Just then, D peered at the sprawling building with interest. This wasn't the Capital or even the Frontier, by any means. And yet, even he could sense something eerie about this place. There was a kind of distortion that meant there was more to this than met the eye.

"This doesn't look good," a disembodied voice said.

"Quiet."

"Come on, you said you wouldn't let it come to this again…Remember what happened last time when you went looking for trouble?"

"I said quiet," D snapped, making a ball of his fist and then he touched the smooth stone of the outdoor wall with the same hand. "Inside, how many?" "Too many, if you ask me," the voice muttered. "I can't get a good feel for it. There's something strange about all this."

D frowned. He didn't like the feeling behind it either, but there was no way to tell unless he moved indoors. Enclosed spaces where there could be a possible trap didn't bode well for the strange traveler, but he soon did just that.

intercom_voice

[Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you will hear the loud screeching of a microphone through the speakers before it dies down. Not long after, a familiar husky voice blares through said speakers.

Although her tone is somewhat pleasant, she manages to keep her authoritative tone as well.]

Good afternoon. [There's a brief pause.] You've all been quite busy, haven't you? It's, hm...interesting to watch, to say the least. But do keep the property damage to a minimum, will you? It's awfully rude to smash people's property on arrival, don't you think?

[Despite that warning, she manages a soft (if a bit ominous) chuckle.]

That being said, I hope you're all well rested. A good rest means a good grade, after all~.

[There's another burst of feedback before the announcement comes to an end.]

[It took a moment to get out of the nurse's office when he first awoke there, but not because of any shock that might have come from waking up in a completely foreign place. No, he had stopped to offer the nurse in the room with him a drink. Once she made it clear she was not thirsty, Chen hefted the large keg of beer under his arm and sidestepped through the door into the hallway.]

I can't say I've seen this kind of architecture before... it seems almost human but on a smaller scale. Perhaps a joint venture of humans and gnomes? No... if anything the Gnomes build bigger, and almost always in a downward motion rather than up. Fascinating.

I wonder what stories these halls could tell...

[There's a young girl here in a black dress with a pink stash examining the school she has found herself in. She hears footsteps and turns to the source, which happens to be you.]

Hello. [She sounds rather polite, doesn't she?] Am I correct to assume that this is a school?

[Normally, one might count walking into a standard classroom only to find a bright, sunny beach instead to be a very pleasant surprise. But as Tadakuni stood there; blankly trying to wrap his head around what just happened- Only one question plagued his mind enough to dwarf all other concerns.]

.......

WHY AM I IN SCHOOL TRUNKS AGAIN!?

((OOC: Welcome to the Beach Room! Once inside, everyone who enters will suddenly appear dressed in swimwear of some kind. Unfortunately, those who try to leave will find an invisible barrier blocking them from exiting the room for at least 3 hours. So have fun, take a swim, play some volleyball, enjoy the cheesy beach-party music, or find some other activity to occupy your time! ~~Emergency suntan lotion will of course be instantly available for all you beach-goers to avoid a nasty sunburn~~!))

[A few days of trying to get back to the Forbidden Lands without eating much was starting to wear on Wander, so he decided to try and find some food. He couldn't find any lizards running around, nor could he find any fruit trees, but he did find a cafeteria with a...awfully...nice, yeah sure, nice woman offering food.

That didn't end well for Wander, who ate all of it just to be nice. So he set off to find food that wouldn't have him throwing it all back up minutes later. Eventually, he did! A nice room stocked with food that didn't look as if it were decomposing as you ate it. But...he couldn't for the life of him figure out all the strange equipment (stoves, fridges, ect) in the room. Some of them got really hot, while others were cold! The cold box is about the only thing he could figure out, really. It was straight forward enough. So instead of trying to figure out how all these things would help him make his food, he cleared out a large area off to the side, made a pit of various wood items he found, and made his own fire pit.

Eventually there's lots of food placed around, some cooking over the fire. But it's not just for him! He remembered seeing some people wandering around looking lost, much like himself. So he thought he'd prepare food for other weary travelers.

So come say high to the sickly looking young man and enjoy this spread of food! Which consists mostly of meat, veggies, fruit, things he actually recognized! And maybe question why the hell he's got a fire pit (although well maintained) when there are plenty of stoves and ovens around. But honestly, his cloths might be a bit of a giveaway.]

((ooc: WANDER MADE FOOD COME SAY HI. Also feel free to use as a mingle.))

praisingsun

[As people begin milling around the courtyard they might hear a loud astonished gasp. They might also glimpse a man in a rather....unique set of armor staring up at the sun. His armor is clinking softly, almost like the man in it was shivering. Moments later, he cries out in joy]

The sun! So bright! So gloriously incandescent! To gaze upon its untainted beauty...truly I am blessed by Lord Gwyn for the chance to glimpse such a sight! At long last, my journey's end is within my reach

[The heavily armored and armed man poses, making himself look like a Y. Talking to him is now a thing that can be done but we all know you're staring at this weirdo.]
