[It's cold, and the weather's not the best, but that hasn't stopped Wren. She's outside in the courtyard, bundled up in a coat and scarf, egging on what looks to be a seven foot tall red dragon on roller skates. Oh sure, the dragon's drawn from chalk (as are the skates), but it's certainly moving in a realistic fashion.]

Come on, you can do it! Keep your wings out!

[The teenager demonstrates, holding her arms out to the side and up as she walks in front of the drawing. It cocks it's head at her, letting out a questioning chirp, of all noises, as it spreads it's wings for balance. Wren giggles, jumping out of the way.]

That's it! Remember to skate, not just clomp around!

[As the dragon attempts to comply, Wren glances up at the sky briefly. It'd rained a little earlier, and she's sure it will again while she's out here. It'll be a good test to see if she can hold the drawing together.]

[Kaz rubbed the back of his neck and grimaced slightly. What the hell had just happened? Where was he? The last thing he remembered was talking with Boss over the radio at Outer Heaven, then everything went black. Had he been knocked out and taken to this place? It didn't look much like a prison or holding facility.

He got up shakily to his feet and realised he was standing in some kind of courtyard. Was his radio still connected to him? He fumbled at his belt and breathed out a sigh of relief. At least he still had communications. Kaz wondered if he could contact Boss or anyone else whilst he was within this place. He tuned the radio and began to speak...]

This is Kaz speaking. Kazuhira Miller. Can you hear me, Boss? Huey? Anyone? I appear to be inside some sort of compound of sorts and no one else seems to be around. I shall attempt to gather more intel as to where I might be then attempt escape. I hope you're getting this. Boss? If you're hearing this, I'd appreciate immediate evac if you're able to get in.

Kaz out.

[He switched the radio off and adjusted his sunglasses on his nose. Time to explore.]

[ Anyone entering into the lounge today might feel like they're being... watched. But if they turn around and look, there's really nothing there. Except a few boxes, some opened to show food stuffs and coffee beans.

Like someone was midway into unpacking the food items and just stopped. But that feeling isn't going to go away... not any time soon. ]

intercom_voice

[It seems that the building is once more up to it's old tricks. Today might seem like an ordinary day; there are no foreboding clouds or storms or blizzards, everyone's talking normally... except something is definitely wrong. Wasn't that door you just came through the door to your dormitory? And why are you on the ceiling? ...well at least you won't be there for long!]

((ooc: From today to the 20th, the building is doing a constant shuffle! The rooms are constantly switching around, and the same door could lead to multiple places over the course of the day. Of course, this means that you could walk into the cursed rooms from the North Wing at any time...

But it's not just rooms switching around. Doors might be on the ceiling, the staircase to the roof might suddenly drop you into the pool when you reach the top, and just because a door led to a room before, that doesn't mean it will now... it might lead to a window, or a brick wall, or a tree... or it could drop you down into a room from the ceiling. Do take care~! Logic might have no place here, but gravity surely will...))

hearts_star

[Kai had finally decided to brave the North Wing in search of some cloaks for Ryou and himself. After all, you couldn't play a proper game of Mages and Warriors without them. It hadn't surprised him much when he'd stumbled on a room full of capes, cloaks, and armor, of all things. Avoiding trying on any of the latter had been a challenge, but eventually he'd found a sapphire blue cloak he thought Ryou would like, and a black one for himself. Deciding to try it on, Kai hadn't even noticed that it'd gone from fitting perfectly to being way too big. In fact, there were a lot of things he hadn't noticed.

Like the fact he was eight years old again.]

These are so neat!

[So now there's a little silver-haired boy scurrying down the hallway to his room, cloak dragging on the floor behind him while he clutches the blue one to his chest. He knows he lives here now, but he doesn't remember being older, or any of the people he's met in this place. He'll probably find it strange that he knows their names, though...]

(OOC: Okay, so there's a room in the North Wing that's doing weird stuff (again). Kai wanted the cloaks for a childish game, so he's temporarily reverted to being a short stuff. Have fun with that.)

imthe_shit

[ If there's one thing that continually reminded Snake of his mortality, it wasn't the injuries he'd sustained over the years. No, it was his genes... the way he was made, the way he was supposed to live. A few people here already knew of the fact he suffered from aging at an accelerated rate, much more so than someone suffering from Werner's Syndrome. The deterioration that normal people's bodies experienced over decades, Snake had experienced in a matter of years... 5, to be exact.

Wrinkled skin, hardened arteries, shortness of breath, blotches on his skin, weariness... weakened lungs, muscles, heart... Snake was dying of old age, much like any ordinary person, but at such an accelerated rate that there was no stopping it, or delaying it. He wasn't an ordinary man to begin with.

But in this place, time stood still. It was the same as the previous Nexus; his fate was put on hold, which meant he would have to suffer the effects of old age for as long as he remained here. Some days he could barely get out of bed without throwing out his entire back... And yet, he didn't want anyone's pity or their concern. He would continue to live as he always had, whether or not his body could perform up to his usual standards. David was going to try, dammit, and nothing would stop him. He still had his willpower, anyway.

That's why today, the old soldier was in one of the many unused classrooms in the West Wing, where he'd cleared away a lot of desks and other things, making a nice wide open space for him to do whatever he wanted. And in this case, it was working out. The top half of his sneaking suit had been discarded and he was busy doing push-ups. Sweat was beading on his body, but he didn't care. His muscles, hips and back all argued with him, but he still didn't listen. Snake wasn't going to go quietly, and he wasn't going to let his pain control him. If he was going to live, he'd do it by his will alone.

No one else's. ]

[Today, something somewhere went wrong. On the evening on the 15th, any bilingual (or otherwise) knowledge granted by the Campus has simply...disappeared. At least for anybody walking by the North Wing.]

Tja ... det här kommer att lägga sordin på våra studier, är nu inte det?

[Translation: Well...this is going to put a damper on our studies, now isn't it?]

((ooc: So! For the next 5 days (the 15th~20th), your character officially only knows their native tongue. Aka, whatever language they primarily grew up with. They can no longer read, speak, or understand any other language but.

For fun you can even use Google Translate to show what your character is speaking at a glance! Don't worry, we all know it's probably gibberish :P

If you go the Google route, please be sure to put a translation at the bottom. If not, then please take care to specify what language your character is speaking in at the start of every thread.

If you have any questions, just head to the mod plurk or send this account a PM, but most importantly--have fun!))

[Kai's in the game room today, having ended up distracted by old memories. So instead of beating the crap out of a scantily-clad pixelated character, he's currently sitting off to one side of the room, on the floor, with a Monopoly board set up in front of him.

He's not playing alone, either. At least it looks that way; the game's completely set up for two people, money and deeds, and two tokens are on the board.]

...I think I have enough money for a hotel...

[And apparently he's either talking to himself or thin air. Hopefully the former.]

imthe_shit

[ Snake is standing in the lounge, by some cupboards where he's just made coffee. He's still dressed in his sneaking suit, but he's looking pale as a sheet. In his hand there's a mug of coffee but... it was visibly shaking as he brought it to his lips and took a drink.

Though he was facing away from the door, his facial expression shows he's feeling pretty shaken up. ]

Don't see that every day...

[ ooc: Off-screen, Snake and Snargon met and... had a fight, so the shooting range Snake made has bit the dust. Feel free to remember seeing a giant gray dragon ~~with a mustache~~ attacking the legendary soldier who was frantically dodging and rolling to get away! Also, Snargon does not breathe fire, so if your character saw the fight go down, then remember that! Nothing was scorched. ]

snargon

[ Hey look, it's Snake! He's... smoking a pipe and... wearing medieval knight armor? There's a large red cape strapped to his shoulders, too. He looks like he just came from Medieval Times.

He is standing outside, the cold doesn't appear to be bothering him too much, the snow decorating his mustache nicely. Snake looks, as usual, very grumpy and hard to approach, but you can try to interact with him if you want? ]

[ ooc: hebi here with another snake. this one is from Saft's world. there is a big tl;dr background info thing in his journal, though i still need to work on changing names and stuff, so it's still a WIP! ]

[You know, maybe it's the fact that she's been stuck indoors for a few days and she's still trying to get comfortable in her new surroundings but today Saft's feeling a little well...irritable.

Scratchy even.

Like really scratchy.

As she makes the rounds around The Campus every now and then she pauses to gave a good scratch, whether it's the back of her neck, her leg, just pretty much anywhere she can reach. What's with this? Are you sure you want to come check it out?]

stealshinies

[Being from Ancient Egypt and all that, seeing the dark, neon-lite laser tag room is enough to make him stumble back in awe. On the wall are vests with a sensor above the heart, as well as a set of guns.

Just beside that is a set of rules that Bakura sure as hell can't read:

EACH PLAYER TAKES ONE VEST AND ITS CORRESPONDING GUN.
DO NOT COVER UP THE SENSOR ON THE VEST.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME IS TO HIT THE TARGET ON OTHER PLAYERS' VESTS.
WHEN YOU ARE HIT, YOUR GUN WILL TURN OFF.
THE LAST PLAYER STANDING WINS!

Needless to say, he just takes a gun and decides to explore the room.]

((ooc: decided to intro one of the new rooms that I added last week (I'll also add these specifics to the setting page). Anyway, play laser tag with each other, tag around, and have fun! Feel free to handwave your character re-entering the game if you want to keep playing after they've already lost once.

Also, feel free to be a big fat cheater and not play by the rules, if that's how your character rolls! That's the fun of RP, isn't it?))

intercom_voice

[Starting late that night on the 18th and continuing on throughout the rest of the day, the wind and snow howls, beating against the side of the building as it covers everything in several feet of white.

The lights flicker dangerously, and around noon is when the power finally goes. Those within the building are left in a cold-blue darkness and even the smallest comforts of warmth. Any standing water, and anything with a high water content, ices over within hours.]

((ooc: this blizzard lasts the 19th only, but feel free to backtag! There will be one final post on the 21st to signal the snow melting / closing of the event. Not that this isn't as bad as the blackout event. You can still see what's in front of you, but it is relatively dark inside.))

intercom_voice

[Early morning on the 15th, the building is deathly chilly as well as unusually dark. Even with the heat on people will find themselves wandering the halls and shivering, their breath fogging up in front of them. Anybody foolish enough to try and leave the building will find that the door simply won't budge due to the amount of snow piled against it, and any attempts to exit (or look) through the windows will greet them with a daunting wall of white. Even the courtyard is inaccessible, as is the door leading up to the rooftop.

Outside on the island, it seems a heavy snow storm has blanketed everything in a thick layer of white.]

((ooc: The event will last 7 days, with the first 4 being snowed-in, the 5th being a blizzard, the 6th another snow-in day, and the 7th having the snow melting. A post will be made on the 19th and 21st respectively. You can see the conditions here, and on the weekly weather sticky:

15th Wed: -32~-20°F; 20 mph; SNOWED IN
16th Thurs: -30~-23°F; 26 mph; SNOWED IN
17th Fri: -28~-18°F; 18 mph; SNOWED IN
18th Sat: -37~-29°F; 21 mph; SNOWED IN
19th Sun: -45~-38°F; 32 mph; SNOWED IN / BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
20th Mon: -15~0°F; 15 mph; SNOWED IN
21st Tues: 10~20°F; 5 mph winds; SNOW MELTING

Mingle, tag around, make your own posts and most of all--have fun! If you have any questions just contact the mod account. Characters with magic powers or a lot of strength CAN get through the doors, but those doors won't stay clear for long. The snow is VERY heavy.))

peopledontforget

[Welcome to a classroom decorated like a wedding hall.

The moment you step inside this room, one of two things will happen:

A) You're getting married! It should be the happiest day of your life, except... why are you getting married again?

OR

B) You've been married a long time and you just now realized it! Out of nowhere, the knowledge appears in your head. You are married to INSERT NAME HERE. You live at INSERT ROOM NUMBER HERE. Whether your partner knows it or not...

Let the chaos begin!

...There's cake for all the unhappy couples, of course.]

otakon_geek

[Otacon had been within the Campus for over a week or more now and he was becoming increasingly restless. He wanted to find out who or what his captor was and why they brought him here. The intercom system was the only way this woman seemed to communicate with people.

If anyone happens to stumble upon the engineer, he will now be fiddling with some wires that connect to one of the many metal boxes around the Campus. He bites his lower lip, as he aims to try and figure out where the signal is coming from. Next to him will be some very technical equipment that he has somehow managed to make using spare parts found around the place. A mesh of metal wires, dials and buttons made out of junk. Ingenious, right?]

Come on....I have to find what frequency you're on. Whoever you are. We're not....prisoners...and....[He fiddles with a red wire next to a blue one, and then one almighty bang is heard. Smoke dissipates into Otacon's face, as he is blasted back with the force of the electrical explosion. The intercom buzzes then lets out a horrific screeching noise, as if under attack. Uh oh. The engineer quickly diverts all power to his home-made radio system and then the noise thankfully, stops.]

Great...[He sighs. There must have been some kind of security mechanism attached to the intercom. There was no way he could hack into it now. The terminal was damaged and he had a nasty burn to his nose.]

fromrussiawith_love

[Raikov was shivering, as he felt snow drop lightly onto his nose. He brushed it off and looked up at the sky. Where on earth was he? He was supposed to be back at Groznyj Grad, not here! Wherever this place was. It was snowing all around him and the wind was picking up in pace. He wasn't in Russia anymore, that much he knew.

He looked around the large entrance to the strange building and squinted through the snow. Was he in some kind of school? A place of learning? It looked like some old university. The Colonel would be out looking for him surely? Raikov felt for his Makarov sheathed in it's holster. He needed to defend himself if this was some kind of enemy base and he was the captive.]

Where am I? Oh, why is this happening to me? [His voice tinged with worry and a slight whine accompanying it.]

intercom_voice

[Oddly enough, the woman who usually pipes in over the speakers at least once a month hasn't shown her face--figuratively speaking--this month at all. However, there is a dull static that pours forth from all the speakers today. It is an unending, but bearable white noise.]

Speak to the Voice...?

[If one walks into the gym today, they'll be treated to the sight of a teenage boy playing fetch with a large yellow Labrador. Kai's put a new spin on it, though. He's been tossing the tennis ball through the air, and when the dog's nearly caught up, the ball disappears into a small portal of Darkness to reappear elsewhere nearby. He'd done it as a joke earlier, but his new pet seemed to like it so much that he's kept it up.]

Get it Surge, go on!

[The dog barks as the ball reappears just past him and he skids on the floor, trying to bound after it. Kai cracks up and sinks down onto the bleachers, grinning as Surge finally trots over with his prize, tail wagging madly.]

Good boy!

liquid_serpent

[Liquid's face told a story. His face was contorted into an expression of pure confusion and moderate anger. How dare he be pulled into this place without his authority! Who had done this and why? He walked along a corridor, wondering where on earth he was. One minute he was at the Shadow Moses Island facility with Metal Gear REX, the next he was here.

Wherever here was. He strutted forward in his long greatcoat. He wore nothing to cover his well-toned chest, but wore a heavy belt secured to his combat pants. He looked like a man who had seen war and a deal of jealousy coursed through his veins. He was a man on a mission. A mission of destruction and vengeance. Liquid Snake ran a hand through his blond hair and let his gaze fall to his feet.]

Why am I here? What purpose is there for me to be here? Well, is anyone hearing this? I demand to know why I am here! [His voice rose in pitch at his last words. Anger denouncing through every word.]
