[19:34:25] <@MrMicheals> The noonday sun lit up the room enough that they didn't need to turn on the lights. It was a corner classroom, with two banks of windows. THe door sat to the right of the front of the room, where the teacher had his desk and the chalkboard. The school was old, and contantly undergoing renovation. Mister Micheals, a young teacher known for having a solid head in a crisis, rose from his desk...
[19:34:26] <@MrMicheals> ...and started roll call at the central podium in the front.
[19:34:37] <@MrMicheals> ))Go
[19:37:35] * Elsa_Cisneros taps her pencil impatiently on the desk. She was tired of being here, stuck in the middle of the classroom. It was grating on her nerves and the day was starting to get heated up.
[19:43:49] * Iska_Clarke is deftly folding a paper football under her desk as she lazily watches Mr. Michaels.
[19:44:39] * Kia_Ardell scuttled through the doorway in a manner less than befitting for one of the members of what was essentially the "popular clique" of the class. With a grumble and a FWOMP, a large guitar case nearly the size of the girl herself was plopped onto the ground near the desk clearly furthest from the windows. Or as far as the windows as one can be in a class like this one, and a day as such...
[19:46:27] * Lia_Ardell is a freckled blonde girl with her hair held back in a ponytail by a blue ribbon. Dressed casually in a skirt and teeshirt, she leans back in her seat near the window, far from her identical twin, Kia
[19:46:38] <Kia_Ardell> ... especially.  The sunlight was more than uncomfortable as was evident from the scowl on her face, or at least, it would have been to those unfamiliar with the notorious "bitch" Kia Ardell.  Of course, unbeknownst as it may have been, she'd at least wanted to make her best attempt to make a good impression!  Upon hearing her name she pepper up with a quick "Here," afterward proceeding to...
[19:46:57] <Kia_Ardell> ... make the weakest attempt possible to finish yesterday's assignment as the roll call went on to encompass her twin sister.
[19:48:27] * Sheryl_Portsmith runs bursts into the class and towards a desk
[19:48:35] * Lia_Ardell mock-salutes as her turn comes, "Lia Ardell reporting for duty, Sir!"
[19:48:43] <Sheryl_Portsmith> Oooo shiiit!
[19:49:33] * Elsa_Cisneros sighs as uberbitch Kia loudly entered the class. Irritated with the day already, Elsa ended up succumbing at nervous tic and scratched the burn scars on her face. When her name was brought up, she stopped and raised her scratching hand.
[19:49:35] <Elsa_Cisneros> Here
[19:49:41] * Sheryl_Portsmith slows down enough to not crash into the desk... instead hitting it and making it slide with an audible screech... she stumbles, but recovers her balance
[19:50:15] * Iska_Clarke sets up her paper football with a slight smirk, and takes aim at the SmartBoard in the front of the classroom.
[19:50:44] <Kia_Ardell> As student after student flocked into the room, they provided what was essentially a shield for the paranoid Kia to remove her hood and reveal to the world her short, almost unkempt, blonde hairstyle.  If not for the length she and her sister would be almost undiscernible, depite one of the two being notably pale for not-so-surprising reasons.
[19:56:47] <@MrMicheals> ))TYPAN
[19:57:49] * Sheryl_Portsmith takes a seat, placing a pen on the desk for the lesson... she paws her bangs, just barely covering her eyes and takes a blue band from her wrist and reaches around behind her head to grab her hair and make a short ponytail

[20:00:49] <@MrMicheals> Mr. Micheals nodded and shut the book as he finished. It seemed everyone was present. For once. "Alright, ladies, please get out the Lord of the FLies from your desk, we'll be starting where we left off yesterday."
[20:00:51] <@MrMicheals> ((SCIENCE CHECKS, PLEASE))
[20:00:53] * Sheryl_Portsmith shifts uncomfortably in her chair and decides to place her calculator on the desk as well...
[20:04:03] * Iska_Clarke pauses and looks around, towards the windows.
[20:04:20] <Iska_Clarke> "...weird," she mutters under her breath.
[20:04:31] * Sheryl_Portsmith groans
[20:05:13] * Sheryl_Portsmith pulls out the book from the desk with two fingers and quickly drops it on the desk. She then uses the pen to push the book away to the far corner of the desk, using the pen to tap the book into place
[20:05:24] * Kia_Ardell made a scritch and a scratch to put the finishing touches on the assignment-- well, midway through the piece of paper, at least. That's good enough. With a couple snaps the guiltar case was opened and despite the lack of space inside, Kia tossed a pencil inside and snapped it back closed, leaving it to lean against the wall. Removing the book and slapping it open, she turned toward a...
[20:05:35] * Iska_Clarke takes out her book, but seems oddly preoccupied, continuing to glance at the windows.  Her brow furrows.
[20:05:40] * Elsa_Cisneros groans as she drags out the book. She plops it open on the desk, opens it and ignores the reading.
[20:05:48] <Kia_Ardell> ... classmate and began the most spontaneous of discussions.  After all, who wants to spend their time in class reading anyway?
---
[20:05:05] <Lia_Ardell> OP, I have empathy. Any chance I notice Iska's discomfort?
[20:05:28] * Sheryl_Portsmith (~Sheryl_Po@Rizon-17901043.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net) has joined #Afterschoolactivities
[20:06:03] <MrMicheals> SCIENCE ROLL to attempt.

[20:07:14] * Lia_Ardell looks from Iska to all the lights in the room
[20:07:40] * Sheryl_Portsmith mutters to herself a bit
[20:08:01] <Sheryl_Portsmith> why can't the school affor e-readers...
[20:08:14] <@MrMicheals> ))TYPAN
[20:08:29] * Elsa_Cisneros taps the desk in a steady rhythm.  Taptaptaptap. Taptaptaptap. Taptaptaptap. Taptaptaptap.
[20:09:51] <@MrMicheals> Micheals walks over to the lights and turns them on. "Must be some cloudy weather." he says, pointedly ignoring the windows that continued to steadily darken. "If I remember correctly, we were on the fourth chapter..."
[20:10:48] <Iska_Clarke> "Great, another storm..." the girl mutters, listlessly flipping through the pages of her book.
[20:11:23] * Lia_Ardell giggles and looks across the room to see how her sister's reacting
[20:12:39] * Kia_Ardell reacted in a way that wasn't quite a surprise, as she hesitated so long in the middle of a sentence about the newest trends in order for her eyes to light up that she almost lost her trail of thought entirely. Days when storms happen this early in the morning are the most wonderful of days-- she could feel the energy the sun had drained from her returning already.
[20:13:31] * Elsa_Cisneros looks out the window and breaks out a small smile. She hoped it would rain; she always did like the rain. Still, it would only make the atmosphere in class more antsy, so she was ready to deal with the loud annoying girly girls.
[20:14:07] * Iska_Clarke lines up her paper football again and flicks it off of her desk, sending it through the air.
[20:15:11] <@MrMicheals> ))Typan
[20:17:10] <@MrMicheals> Micheals caught the peice of folded paper without even looking up from his book, placing it in his own book as a bookmark as he looked up to see who did it. As if to mask the offending party, there was a distant, deep rumble, like a far-off earthquake, then all the lights in the room went out with a loud thunk.
[20:17:11] <@MrMicheals> ((DARKNESS HAS BEGUN. NOTE YOUR WAKEFULNESS NOW.))
[20:18:31] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Looks like we ain't gonna continue our lesson since we can't read in the dark, right Teach?"
[20:19:17] <Iska_Clarke> "You've got to be kidding me," Iska groans.  "Of all the times the power coulda gone out..."
[20:19:44] <Lia> "Wooo, is school cancelled?"
[20:19:55] <@MrMicheals> ))TYPAN
[20:19:58] * Elsa_Cisneros silently whoops and pumps her fist. "Alright!" She really fucking hates this book.
[20:20:12] * Sheryl_Portsmith has, if anyone could see it, a grin on her face... She lucked out today~
[20:20:25] <@MrMicheals> ))TYPAN
[20:23:00] <@MrMicheals> "Everyone stay calm." Micheals said. "You aren't going anywhere until the cause of this has been determined, am I clear? Good." he reached into his desk, pulling out a flashlight and walking over to the phone. Pulling it from the wall, he frowned. He hung it up and tried again, pulling open his desk and pulling out a confiscated cellphone. upon opening it, and no light emenating from the...
[20:23:02] <@MrMicheals> ...screen, he flipped it closed, and dropped it back inside.
[20:24:25] <Lia> "What if this turns out to be some spooky mystery that never gets solved? Do we never get to leave?"
[20:24:39] <Elsa_Cisneros> "....really? What is this? Nancy Drew?"
[20:24:50] <Kia_Ardell> Click click.  Clunk.  After a few seconds of silence - ignoring the classmates' bickering, of course - a pluck began to ring out, nearly silent at first, followed by another, much louder chord.  And another.  And before much time had passed, the classroom had its very own humanoid jukebox in the room's corner, with each note played with more enthusiasm than the last.  Who would want to take...
[20:24:58] <Kia_Ardell> ... class seriously anymore, anyway?  This is a day to rejoice!
[20:25:29] * Iska_Clarke grins in the midst of the darkness and starts whistling along with the beat.
[20:27:20] * Elsa_Cisneros resumes tapping on her desk, having nothing else to do. Taptaptaptap. Taptaptaptap. Taptaptaptap. Taptaptap.
[20:27:54] <@MrMicheals> "Miss Ardell, Miss Clarke, this may be serious. Please, wait a moment." he sits at his desk and sighs. "Does anyone have a cellphone?"
[20:28:41] <Elsa_Cisneros> "And the noise starts in three....two.....one...."
[20:28:47] * Sheryl_Portsmith sighs, the joy she felt from earlier now has worn... She puts her hand into her desk and pulls out a GBA SP. She decides to not reply to the teacher's request
[20:29:15] * Lia pulls out her cellphone and waves it in the air, "Right here, Mr. Michaels."
[20:29:29] <Kia_Ardell> Having not reached a vocal section in the song yet - nor had she decided if she wanted to put one in this original piece at all yet - Kia grinned at the textbook reaction on her instructor's part.  "Take it easy, teach!  It doesn't get any less serious than a beautiful day like this, am I right or am I right?"  And all throughout, not a single break in the song's melody was heard.

[20:29:40] <Kia_Ardell> YUKKURI SHITEITTE NE, SENSEI ^_______________________^
[20:31:33] <Iska_Clarke> ....
[20:31:41] <Elsa_Cisneros> wat
[20:31:46] <Iska_Clarke> ....oh god
[20:31:50] <Iska_Clarke> it's spreading
---
[20:30:01] <@MrMicheals> "Could you hand it here, miss Ardell? Mine isn't working. And Kia, please, I'm trying to think."
[20:30:58] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Yes, it doesn't get more beautiful than dull and dreary darkness now, does it?"
[20:31:12] <Kia_Ardell> A couple chords were omitted and without a hint of harm to the original melody the song kept playing, albeit softer.  Kia's grin, however, didn't soften one bit, nor did she want to make it seem like she wasn't giving the teacher a hard time at all, as it was one of her favorite pastimes.
[20:32:01] * Sheryl_Portsmith reaches into her desk again... she feels something that seems like a pencil. She pulls it out and rips off the eraser. She then places it on the table, opposite of the book, and flicks it at Elsa.
[20:33:08] * Lia takes a long semicircle around the classroom, handing over the phone and continuing on to sit on the floor by Kia
[20:34:17] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Ooof!" It nails her on the back of the ear.

[20:35:10] <Sheryl_Portsmith> Rollan 4 batteries!
[20:35:21] <MrMicheals> TEACHER'S GONE.

[20:36:08] <Sheryl_Portsmith> 90 minutes of GBA SP love~
[20:36:16] <MrMicheals> Nope.
[20:36:38] <Kia_Ardell> What's on that SP, anyway?
[20:36:39] <MrMicheals> He set it on his desk
[20:36:40] <Kia_Ardell> inb4 fire emblem
[20:36:54] <MrMicheals> Also, anything electronic is now DEAD.
[20:36:59] <Kia_Ardell> OH BOY
[20:37:06] * MrMicheals points at the game channel name
[20:37:09] <MrMicheals> :V
[20:37:11] <Sheryl_Portsmith> wait
[20:37:17] <Sheryl_Portsmith> Y U DO THIS
[20:37:24] <MrMicheals> :3c
[20:37:27] <Sheryl_Portsmith> Was Advance Wars
[20:37:29] <MrMicheals> I did PM you
[20:37:30] <Kia_Ardell> well, for all that's fair, he did ask for electronic devices
---
[20:35:01] <Kia_Ardell> With a powerful, almost exaggerated finish, Kia finished the first piece before her sister's looparound was even halfway through.  It was relatively new, and hadn't gotten very far yet, but it's stable enough to risk playing in public, for sure.  As Lia walked ever so closer, Kia's fingers repositioned themselves on the instrument and, as to take the class even less seriously than she already...
[20:35:08] <@MrMicheals> "THank-" he pauses as he opens the phone, and the screen lets out a soft pop, ceasing to work any longer. "... What in the world..." he mutters. "Students, I need to get to the bottom of this. I'll be back in a moment." he says, walking to the door, opening it, and leaving.
[20:35:31] <@MrMicheals> ((TEN MINUTES HAVE PASSED.))
[20:35:45] <Iska_Clarke> "....oookay."
[20:35:47] <Kia_Ardell> ... was, began playing a favorite of the two that she'd composed a few years ago.  It never got old, as far as at least Kia were concerned.  "Be careful~" she shouted with an almost mocking tone as the intro continued.
[20:36:02] <Iska_Clarke> "That was weird...hey, Lia, lemme see that?"
[20:37:06] * Elsa_Cisneros gets up from her desk. She bends back and forth, her body cricking like an old wooden board.
[20:37:34] <Lia> "Yeah, it's not working. Grab it off the teacher's desk, if you wanna see."
[20:37:53] * Sheryl_Portsmith gets out her GBA SP... and turns it on...
[20:38:05] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Weird... I charged it this morning..."
[20:38:12] * Sheryl_Portsmith turns on her SP again
[20:38:22] * Iska_Clarke gets up and goes over to the desk, weaving in and out of the rows.  She picks up the phone and flips it open.
[20:38:36] <@MrMicheals> Nothing. Neither device works, even for an instant.
[20:39:20] * Iska_Clarke takes out the battery and squints at it for a moment.  "Everything looks fine..."
[20:39:51] <@MrMicheals> ((SCEINCE CHECKS))

[20:41:16] <Lia> Shut up
---
[20:39:53] <Kia_Ardell> Pluck pluck pluck, sing sing sing.  Kia noticed the obvious discord, but as a musician it was only her job to calm it.  Or... ignore it, at least.  While her playing had seemed to serve as a distraction from the chaos for some, it wasn't all that special considering it was only something she did EVERY day given the opportunity, whether it involved the teacher leaving or not.
[20:41:21] * Sheryl_Portsmith rapidly flicks her GBA SP's switch rapidly and suddenly a bright idea comes to mind to press the backlight button... It doesn't work...
[20:42:03] * Sheryl_Portsmith is about to put it back when the backlight turns on... Or not... Or something...
[20:42:09] * Iska_Clarke takes this opportunity to hop up onto the desk, lazily kicking her feet in the air.
[20:42:23] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Hey gais... Did you see... Ummm..."
[20:42:46] <Lia> "I have an idea! We could all play heads up seven up."
[20:43:14] <Elsa_Cisneros> Elsa looks rather intrigued. She raises an eyebrow. "What's up?" she asks in her gruff voice.
[20:43:15] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "So you saw it too!"
[20:43:51] * Iska_Clarke frowns as she looks at the cellphone again.  "...saw what, Sheryl?"
[20:44:18] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "I was playing around with my SP and..." *hawns*
[20:44:19] * Iska_Clarke shakes the phone for a moment.
[20:44:30] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "...A face... or something..."
[20:44:40] <Kia_Ardell> Pluck pluck pluck sing si- while the playing continued, Kia's powerful natural singing voice took a break.  At her sister's idea she cried out an extremely lazy-sounding "'Kaaaaaaaay~" as chords made themselves scarcer and scarcer, finishing the song early.  That guitar of hers had been out for longer than it needed to be for proper maintaining of its delicate strings, anyway.
[20:45:06] * Iska_Clarke 's head whips towards the other girl.  "Say that again?"
[20:45:28] <Elsa_Cisneros> "A face? Reaaaalllly? How /mysterious/~"
[20:45:29] <@MrMicheals> Time passes slowly in the classroom.
[20:45:35] <@MrMicheals> ((TEN MINUTES.))
[20:45:54] <@MrMicheals> The teacher has yet to return, and some of the students are growing antsy.
[20:46:04] <Lia> "You saw a face on my phone? I betcha it was just the screen flickering and a picture saved on there showing up."
[20:47:05] * Kia_Ardell clicked and thunked her beloved guitar case after having stood up to walk around to it, sliding her even more beloved instrument inside on top of the poor pencils that, amazingly, hadn't had their lead break yet. In fact, with the guitar's mass it's almost amazing that the pens inside didn't snap in half, either. As exciting as some ideas sounded, the classroom really wasn't providing...
[20:47:06] * Elsa_Cisneros rubs her temples as the volume grows in the classroom. "Fuck me, I'm going to get a goddamn migraine at this rate," Elsa cusses, glaring through the darkness at the general location of the FUCKING GUITAR.
[20:48:27] <Kia_Ardell> ... the most entertaining of scenarios.  Urged ever so strongly to pick up the heavy case and slide it onto her back, she pondered taking a look outside... noticing the angry glare from her classmate too, of course.  It's almost uncomfortable when you KNOW you're not helping the situation, but she'd never tell anybody she felt that way.

[20:48:57] <Kia_Ardell> aw shit, I should've rolled art checks for playing
[20:49:05] <Elsa_Cisneros> do so now then
[20:49:15] <Kia_Ardell> nah, it's already over, too late to roleplay for it

[20:49:27] <Elsa_Cisneros> you could fuck up at some point in the song
[20:50:03] <Kia_Ardell> Once you've reached that level of practicing nirvana, it's hard to pull such things off.
[20:50:32] <Elsa_Cisneros> Shove Kia's ego into a box before I shove it down her throat >3

[20:48:52] <Iska_Clarke> "...where the hell did Michaels go?" the girl on the desk says irritably. "Seriously, what the fuck..."
[20:49:57] * Sheryl_Portsmith slumps in her desk... getting bored...
[20:50:31] * Iska_Clarke leans over and jiggles the handle of one of the desk drawers, wanting to fidget with something.
[20:50:58] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Maybe he went to the teacher's lounge or something" she groans "Or the principle's office... or the next class over..."
[20:50:58] <@MrMicheals> ((SCIENCE CHECKS))
[20:52:43] <Elsa_Cisneros> "It shouldn't take this damn long to flip the breakers."
[20:52:55] <Iska_Clarke> "...tell me about it..."
[20:53:05] * Iska_Clarke continues to rummage through the drawers.
[20:53:19] <Kia_Ardell> With a silent implied "heave-ho" the case and its entire contents were lifted uncomfortably onto its player's frame.  Inching ever so closer toward the door Kia passed by the location of one of the classmates she could stand to be around the most.  "Hey Isk, it's stuffy in here.  I'm gonna step out for a breather, wanna come?"
[20:53:38] * Elsa_Cisneros zones out at the back of the class before seeing.... "Woah. What the fuck was that?"
[20:53:47] * Sheryl_Portsmith turns arund
[20:54:16] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "UWAA-"
[20:54:30] * Iska_Clarke hops off the desk, having found nothing of value.  "Yeah, su--jeezus, what now?"
[20:54:39] * Sheryl_Portsmith falls off her seat and lands on her ass with a thud
[20:54:56] * Iska_Clarke turns around to look back at the others, rolling her eyes.
[20:55:19] * Elsa_Cisneros is looking at an empty window. There's nothing there. "Coulda sworn I saw  a person there..." She repressed the urge to shiver. "Fuck, felt like I was being watched or some shit."
[20:55:36] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "I-I saw someone in the window!"
[20:55:46] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "He looked at me!"
[20:55:48] <Lia_Ardell> "Someone we know?"
[20:55:49] <@MrMicheals> ((YOu're on the second floor.))
[20:56:09] * Kia_Ardell let out a groan. That's teenagers complaining, all right. With a click she reached for the door and turned its knob, intending to step outside with her classmate following...
[20:56:12] * Sheryl_Portsmith points continues to point at the window with a stupid look on her face
[20:56:15] <Iska_Clarke> "You guys gotta be seeing things.  How the hell would someone get up here?"
[20:56:17] <Elsa_Cisneros> "You too?"
[20:56:29] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Fuck if I know. Prolly just a bird or some shit."
[20:56:53] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Yeah! He looked like what happens when you like... Fuck with your TV antenna and shit!"
[20:57:07] <Iska_Clarke> "...TV antenna."
[20:57:23] * Iska_Clarke is deadpanning the words.  "You seriously HAVE one of those?"
[20:57:37] * Elsa_Cisneros gives the other girl, Sheryl, the flattest look ever.
[20:57:40] <Lia_Ardell> "Sounds like tree branches and leaves. Just calm down and everything'll be fine."
[20:57:49] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Reaaaaaalllllllly?"
[20:58:24] * Kia_Ardell turned around for the briefest of seconds as if to confirm if her friend was coming or not. Didn't look like it. Motionlessly shrugging to herself, Kia took some steps forward leaving the door wide open.
[20:58:44] * Lia_Ardell chases after Kia in a hurry
[20:58:46] <Iska_Clarke> "Hey, wait up!"
[20:58:57] * Sheryl_Portsmith puts arm down "Geeze! I saw him! And what do you mean I 'seriously HAVE one of those'? I thought everyone did!"
[20:59:07] * Iska_Clarke jogs after the twins, not wanting to get stuck in the room with the spaz brigade.
[20:59:39] <@MrMicheals> The hallway is just as dark as the classroom. THere is no ambient light at all. YOu remember that some of the doors in the school are electrical, and some are not.
[21:00:39] * Lia_Ardell giggles nervously and whispers to Kia, "How long before we find Mr. Micheals' body, d'ya think?"
[21:00:44] * Elsa_Cisneros shrugs and goes out the door. Passing by the group, she states. "I need a drink. Fuckall its dark."
[21:00:44] <Iska_Clarke> "Beautiful.  Just beautiful, huh?"
[21:01:12] * Iska_Clarke glances down the hall, casually putting her hand into her jacket pocket.
[21:01:53] <@MrMicheals> ((From now on, navigating with the group will cause a check to ART or POP, whichever is your best. Failing this check will result in seperation and getting lost.))
[21:01:59] * Sheryl_Portsmith gets up and goes to follow Elsa... bored and not wanting to be in the classroom with Lord knows what
[21:02:12] <@MrMicheals> ((This check is made every ten minutes.))
[21:02:15] * Kia_Ardell let out the biggest smile her face was capable of, with a giddy giggle to boot. "Ab~so~lutely!" she exclaimed cheerfully, knowing there was no sun to throw off her groove today. In fact, it was almost dark enough for her to realize just how hot it was in all those clothes of hears, and that it wasn't the room that was stuffy at all. Of course, to Kia, the whining was "stuffy" enough.

[21:03:05] <Kia_Ardell> no, I mean she's wearing a bunch of coats
[21:03:07] <MrMicheals> IMPLICATIONS.
[21:03:09] <MrMicheals> oh
[21:03:11] <MrMicheals> Okay
[21:03:16] <Kia_Ardell> sun shields
[21:03:27] <MrMicheals> THat's fine
[21:08:01] <Lia_Ardell> is Kia still wearing all the coats?
[21:08:07] <Kia_Ardell> yeah
[21:08:16] <Kia_Ardell> it's hard to take clothes off when you have a guitar strapped
[21:08:22] <MrMicheals> STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP STRIP
[21:08:26] <Kia_Ardell> eat a dick
[21:08:27] <MrMicheals> hehehehehhehe
---
[21:03:34] * Elsa_Cisneros looks over to the girl following her. She sighs. She always felt most at peace by herself, but it looked like she gathered a stray. Sheryl gets a nod after her sigh.
[21:04:10] <@MrMicheals> THe way is dark, but your memories are (mostly) clear. Where are you going?
[21:04:17] <Iska_Clarke> " 're we the only ones out here?" Iska murmurs under her breath.
[21:05:00] * Sheryl_Portsmith smiles back at Elsa... resisting the urge to poke her for no reason but to hear if she squeeks...
[21:05:33] <@MrMicheals> ))TYPAN
[21:05:47] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Guess so." She shrugs, both at the commentary and Sheryl's smile. "Works for me."
[21:06:26] <@MrMicheals> The way outside is locked elevtronically, and won't work for now. The way to the atrium, dead ahead, is also locked. Seems the only way to go is into classroom 130 or hang a left.
[21:08:53] * Lia_Ardell holds onto the back of Kia's guitar case to keep track of her twin
[21:09:15] <Kia_Ardell> Heavy instrument hanging off her body uncomfortably as nine hells, threatening to almost tip its owner over backward, Kia struggled more steps forward without showing the slightest sign of her pains.  With a slight glance toward a nearby classroom, she only let herself hesitate for a split second before continuing onward to the left.  It's just a walk, after all, not a visit.
[21:09:19] * Iska_Clarke clucks her tongue.  "This is seriously pissing me off.  Did all the janitors keel over or something?"
[21:09:43] <@MrMicheals> ((SCIENCE CHECKS))
[21:09:53] * Iska_Clarke follows after the twins, thumbing the blade of her x-acto knife thoughtfully.
[21:11:24] * Elsa_Cisneros cracks open her water bottle as she strolly idly along. She throws the bottle back, glugging the lukewarm water. "Blech. Its fucking warm."
[21:11:26] <@MrMicheals> Almost all of you trip over a small pile of clothing on the floor: Janitor uniforms, school clothes, shoes, socks. A pile of discarded clothing?
[21:11:41] <Elsa_Cisneros> "MOTHERFUCK!"
[21:11:59] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Eh?"
[21:12:17] <Lia_Ardell> "Ewwww, are people running around NAKED?"
[21:12:19] * Elsa_Cisneros falls forward and nearly smashes her gormless head in before catching herself. "The fuck tripped me?"
[21:12:21] * Iska_Clarke wrinkles her nose in distaste.  "Lemme guess.  The guys are going streaking again."
[21:12:59] * Kia_Ardell shivered. The case showed some vibrations too, though nothing extreme; just a quick shock. Stabilizing herself, she tried to survey the scene as thoroughly as possible, though her statements didn't show as much. "What's this all about? Someone get vaporized?"
[21:13:07] <@MrMicheals> Upon closer inspection, no, these are from the girl's wing. THere's even underwear in the pile, still inside the shirts and skirts!
[21:13:26] <Iska_Clarke> "Maybe it's the Rapture," Isk suggests sardonically.
[21:13:43] * Sheryl_Portsmith feels around and feels for Elsa and grabs her arm, she then pulls Elsa up
[21:14:31] * Iska_Clarke prods the pile with her foot experimentally.
[21:14:38] <Lia_Ardell> "Is some lunatic on the loose here?"
[21:14:47] <Iska_Clarke> "Gotta admit, this is kinda weird..."
[21:15:15] * Kia_Ardell finished stabilizing with a "Huh." Weird, definitely. But it was probably just... well, to be honest, Kia had no idea what it could've been, bullshitting excuses in her mind as she went. With a shrug, she kept walking toward her presumed destination. "Oh well, we'll probably figure out what it was up there or something. Not like we're gonna find much back at class anyway."
[21:15:49] * Elsa_Cisneros almost jerks her arm away before stopping. She gently detangles the arm before looking teh clothes over. "The fuck?" She bends down and ruffles through the clothes, seeing if there was anything of note in them.
[21:16:08] <Iska_Clarke> 'Hey Kia, wait up--"
[21:16:14] <@MrMicheals> ((Elsa, Science/Art, whichever is better))
[21:16:52] * Iska_Clarke notices that Elsa's already rifling through the pile and makes a small noise of annoyance in her throat.
[21:17:25] * Lia_Ardell grabs back onto Kia's guitar with a slightly shaky hand, "Wait up a second for Iska."
[21:17:54] * Sheryl_Portsmith looks around kinda confused... "Elsa, what are you doing?"
[21:18:03] * Kia_Ardell perked up a little at her friend's throat-clearing. Or throat... whatever that was supposed to be. She couldn't believe she let common sense pass her by. "Oh yeah, good idea, there might be some cash in there." Turning around she took a few steps in the clothing's direction. "Anything good?"
[21:19:02] * Iska_Clarke shrugs.  "Cisneros got to it first.  Still...it's kind of odd, huh?  Who leaves perfectly good clothes laying around?"
[21:19:02] <@MrMicheals> ((Ten minutes))

[21:22:03] <MrMicheals> For reasons I will NOT disclose, you got a free pass on that one.

[21:19:03] * Elsa_Cisneros grabs a couple of phones and runs through them. "Lookin'," she gives her little tagger on as she flips each phone's on switch. "Fucking hell. They're ALL dead." She stands. "Did we get hit with an EMP or some Sci-Fie bullshit?"
[21:21:02] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Hey Elsa, what's an EMP?"
[21:21:43] <Iska_Clarke> "Electro-Magnetic Pulse, Einstein..."
[21:22:03] * Iska_Clarke seriously wonders if Sheryl was born yesterday or something.
[21:22:46] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Mmmmm... So someone put a magnet into a light socket or something... ?"
[21:22:49] <Elsa_Cisneros> "What she said."
[21:23:44] * Iska_Clarke resists the urge to put her palm through her forehead.  "Do you ever pay attention in class, Sheryl?  An EMP follows a nuclear blast."
[21:25:07] * Lia_Ardell pulls Kia's sleeve urgently, "Kia... did I just disappear? What's happening?"
[21:25:15] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "I um... Know that nuclear bombs makes big explosions."
[21:25:28] * Elsa_Cisneros slaps her face and starts grumbling loudly. "Fuckitall," she bitches as she leans against the door to room 130. "So, what's next, geniuses?"
[21:26:49] * Kia_Ardell felt the tug from her sister's hand... and her heart. Or something like that. Rolling her eyes, Kia was convinced her twin had become something beyond insane; or at least, she would've been if she hadn't been already. "Ugh, sis, what'd I tell you about smoking joints before class? There's plenty of time during LUNCH to do that." Turning away from the pile, she started down the hallway.
[21:26:57] <Kia_Ardell> "C'mon kids, let's go."
[21:28:08] * Elsa_Cisneros shrugs off the wall and strolls past the room, down the left hall. "Better not be some mad fucking stripper on the loose or some shit like that."
[21:28:08] * Iska_Clarke goes to follow Kia, not bothering to look back at the others.  "This is nuts.  Where the hell is everyone?"
[21:28:21] <@MrMicheals> YOu turn the corner, remembering that on your left is the computer rooms, and on your left is where the school records videos for the yearbook.
[21:28:37] <@MrMicheals> *one your right is the TV/audio room
[21:29:41] * Lia_Ardell lets go of Kia, snapping, "Wha-I don't smoke! Whatever, I'm walking without you," before silently steaming several feet away from her
[21:30:50] <@MrMicheals> ((Lia, make an IMMEDIATE test on ART.))
[21:33:28] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Sooooooooooooooooo.....we still walking down this fucking hallway aimlessly or...." She lets the 'or' drag on and on, allowing someone else to fill the gap.
[21:33:37] * Iska_Clarke is secretly glad that she's an only child at times like this.  She turns to the computer lab door and tries to open it.
[21:33:57] <@MrMicheals> It opens freely.
[21:35:18] <Iska_Clarke> "Hey, the labs're still unlocked..."
[21:35:28] * Iska_Clarke calls back to the others.
[21:35:36] * Sheryl_Portsmith pipes up "They are?!"
[21:35:40] * Lia_Ardell grumbles, "Why did we have to leave the room?"
[21:35:55] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Really? Shit, lets go look at some porn."
[21:36:11] <Iska_Clarke> "Yes.  That would be why the door is hoping.  Christ, Portsmith, were you dropped on your head or something?"
[21:36:25] <Iska_Clarke> *door is open
[21:36:42] * Kia_Ardell giggled at her sister's response, albeit a bit belated. While she wasn't much for drugs either, she'd tease and tease as this school had its own fair share of bad crowds. With a glance to her right and a shrug, she followed behind her friend. "Not gonna find much in here, I guess."
[21:36:43] * Sheryl_Portsmith bounces over past Iska, grin on her face
[21:36:54] * Elsa_Cisneros walks up to the door to the computer lab and calls in. "Yo! Anyone home?"
[21:37:21] * Iska_Clarke just shakes her head at Sheryl, and steps inside.
[21:37:25] <Lia_Ardell> "I have a really bad feeling about this? Do we have to go in?"
[21:37:34] * Sheryl_Portsmith sits her ass down in front of one of the computers
[21:37:47] <@MrMicheals> ))TYPAN
[21:37:49] <@MrMicheals> ))TYPAN
[21:37:51] <@MrMicheals> ))TYPAN
[21:39:34] <@MrMicheals> A buzz is heard as all the computer monitors in the room roar to life as one as soon as Sheryl sits down. They are covered in static, which is odd, because computer monitors never display that as an error screen.
[21:39:59] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Whoa..."
[21:40:07] * Sheryl_Portsmith looks around the room
[21:40:21] * Elsa_Cisneros raises an eye. "The hell's this shit?"
[21:40:29] * Lia_Ardell walks slowly towards the computers, "I... what's happening? This is... weird."
[21:40:39] * Iska_Clarke loudly says "Fuck!" and makes her way over to Sheryl.  "Okay, playtime's over.  This isn't normal."
[21:40:50] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Hey, Elsa... Do computers have antennas inside them? I never really checked..."
[21:41:31] <Elsa_Cisneros> "*groan* No, Sheryl. They do not." A beat. "But I see why you're asking."
[21:41:42] <@MrMicheals> THe monitors all flick off save the one before Sheryl, which, you all swear, perceives you, then turns off.
[21:41:49] <@MrMicheals> Lost 10 wakefulness.
[21:42:02] <Iska_Clarke> "This is BULLSHIT."
[21:42:08] <Iska_Clarke> "BULLSHIT."
[21:42:25] * Iska_Clarke is backing away from the monitors now, clearly disturbed.
[21:42:41] * Sheryl_Portsmith turns around "Eh, what h*yawm*ppened?"
[21:42:56] * Kia_Ardell srs'd up. At least, that's one way to phrase it. Following a few seconds of silence, her body did a 180 to face as far away from the screens as possible. "Let's get the hell out of here." With the slightest shakiness in her voice, Kia began to set off. "I'm... sure they've calmed down by now, probably."
[21:43:28] * Sheryl_Portsmith looks at the static on the screen in a bit of confusion...
[21:43:36] * Iska_Clarke nods and quickly falls into stride beside Kia, reaching back into her pocket.
[21:43:41] * Elsa_Cisneros takes a step back. "What the fuck....." She pauses and then remembers. "Fuck me sideways! This bullshit again?"
[21:44:03] * Lia grabs at Kia's sleeve again, "I want out of here. I want to go home, can we please go home? Nothing's right, here."
[21:44:17] * Elsa_Cisneros also joins in the absconding. "Sheryl! Move your ass and get outta here, you little shit!"
[21:44:41] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Oi! Don't call me a shit!"
[21:44:46] <Iska_Clarke> "The way out's locked, Lia..." the other girl says, clearly on edge.
[21:45:00] * Kia_Ardell nodded with an "mm." There was definitely nothing right. Sister in tow and friends following, she made as much an attempt as she could to keep up the pace and get back to class as soon as possible.
[21:45:01] * Sheryl_Portsmith gets out of the chair, looking a little dejected
[21:45:19] <@MrMicheals> YOu all hastily make your way out of the computer lab, back into the darkness of the hallway.
[21:45:32] <@MrMicheals> Opposite you is the audio/visual room.
[21:45:55] * Elsa_Cisneros takes a moment to calm her nerves. "Well fuck. D'you all see the same thing or have I finally flipped the handle?"
[21:47:55] * Kia_Ardell made a motionless shrug, but a sound in her voice indicated what she meant. "Secondhand smoke. Spent too much time hanging in the shade with a bad crowd before school tomorrow, you learn to deal with stuff like that. Let's... not take any more chances." Nervously, she made a turn back toward the hallway they had come from. Or attempted to, at least.
[21:48:00] * Lia_Ardell hastily mutters, "The machines are alive, or possessed, or something. I think they're trying to get us. We can't go in there. We have to get away from the tvs, the computers, the phones, the games. They have faces, and they're after us."
[21:49:40] * Elsa_Cisneros gives Lia a blank stare. "Well shit, don't be going all tinfoil hats and Xenu on us, girl. Let me flip over the handle on my own, shit!"
[21:49:52] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Eh... What you mean by possessed? Like demons or demons or something?"
[21:51:05] * Kia_Ardell sighed. Heavily. "What she means is she had a little too much to drink last night. Crazy party, huh, sis?" Tug. Tug tug. Big tug. "We're getting out of here." Her walk to the classroom became almost a run.
[21:52:15] * Elsa_Cisneros shrugs before looking back to Iska and Sheryl. "Yo, guess we're heading back. You fucking coming?"
[21:52:30] * Lia_Ardell quietly mutters as she follows Kia, "I don't know, ever since we found those clothes everything got weird. First, I didn't feel like I was in my body, next those computers were just calling me in, and the faces... This is all unnatural. Abnormal."
[21:52:37] <@MrMicheals> ((TEN MINUTES))
[21:53:05] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Umm... Yeah..."
[21:53:25] * Sheryl_Portsmith follows Elsa in half-trot
[21:54:12] <@MrMicheals> THe girls return to the classroom. Apparently, Micheals has yet to return, and in one corner are two folded uniforms. THe rest of the students look shaken, frightened, and are releived to see their classmates alright.
[21:54:47] <Iska_Clarke> "...what the hell?"
[21:55:06] * Iska_Clarke looks around the room.  "Okay, let's get down to business...what happened?"
[21:55:11] * Lia_Ardell flees to the opposite corner, as far from the uniforms as possible and curls up, holding her knees
[21:55:18] <@MrMicheals> The girls all look away from Iska.
[21:55:19] * Kia_Ardell groaned what was essentially a muttered "oh my god" or "are you serious" in some degree. Slamming the door open and walking inside she pressed forward, glancing about the room. "More streakers in here? Really? What the hell's gotten into you kids?"
[21:55:28] * Elsa_Cisneros sidles over into the corner and leans against the wall, sticking at the back of the group and far from the rest of the class.
[21:55:48] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Well, fess up, who got fucking promiscuous and decided to make out in the middle of scary tv magic ass hour?
[21:56:18] <@MrMicheals> One of them stands up, walks up to Elsa, and slaps her harshly across the face.
[21:56:35] <@MrMicheals> "They're gone. Dead. Or something. We don;t know. Shut up."
[21:56:39] * Iska_Clarke raises her eyebrows.  "...should've seen that one--"
[21:56:46] * Sheryl_Portsmith walks over to the student and grabs her arm
[21:56:46] <Iska_Clarke> "...."
[21:56:51] * Iska_Clarke goes dead quiet.
[21:56:55] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!"
[21:57:03] * Kia_Ardell grinned. Time for the classic 'inspire courage' move. Click. Click. Clunk. Guitar strap removed from the girl's body and case placed on the ground, she opened it and removed her beloved instrument. Chaos was worse in the classroom than it had been before they had ever left, but there was only one way to solve it. Chords began playing.
[21:57:07] * Lia_Ardell looks up suddenly at the window after gathering herself
[21:57:08] * Elsa_Cisneros grins back at the slap but her face falls at the spoken words. "Shit, really? The fuck happened?"
[21:57:36] <Lia_Ardell> "It's no good, the spirit-things will get us here. Just look around. We already saw a face in the window, I bet you there's a bunch of phones in here."
[21:57:37] * Iska_Clarke heads over towards the pile of clothes, but stops half-way.
[21:57:48] <Iska_Clarke> "...she's right."
[21:57:55] <Iska_Clarke> "Who's got a phone in here?"
[21:57:57] <@MrMicheals> "They're gone! Just... GOne! We looked away for a second and and theur phone hit the desk and we don't know what happened and and oh god I just want to go home!"
[21:58:30] * Sheryl_Portsmith lets go of the student and heads over to her desk
[21:58:32] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Huh. Wonder if that happened with the...." She looks back and wisely decides to shut up. ""Y'sure of that?
[21:58:40] <Lia_Ardell> "What if they're inside the phone? Maybe these things are just sucking us out."
[21:58:43] * Iska_Clarke pulls Lia's phone out of her pocket and drops it on the floor with a clatter.
[21:58:58] <@MrMicheals> "How can we not be sure, Elsa?! SHe didn't run off!"
[21:59:28] * Iska_Clarke lifts her foot and starts stomping on the phone.
[21:59:37] * Sheryl_Portsmith collects the calculator and pen she left on the desk, minding to keep her hands away from the book
[21:59:39] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Shit! I'm just trying to fucking get shit clear! Goddamn!"
[21:59:47] * Kia_Ardell wanted so strongly to stop her classmates. She really did. However, she had a better tool for doing that-- or at least, she wanted to hope that's what it could be used for. The favorite tune of her sister and herself started playing as she raised her voice, attempting to sing over the crowd. But whether it worked...
[22:00:06] <@MrMicheals> ((Art check, Kia.))
[22:00:17] * Sheryl_Portsmith looks on the floor and sees a small purple block...
[22:00:17] <Kia_Ardell> (8 seconds ahead of you, OP)
[22:00:20] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Ah!"
[22:00:38] <@MrMicheals> THe student sighs. "I'm sorry. It's just... YOu wouldn't believe me if I told you."
[22:00:45] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Almost forgot about this!"
[22:01:00] * Lia_Ardell stops and turns towards her sister's voice, listening quietly
[22:01:04] * Iska_Clarke grunts.  "Try us..."
[22:01:10] * Sheryl_Portsmith picks up her GBA SP and dusts it off before quickly pocketing it
[22:02:05] * Kia_Ardell calmed down, seeing the reaction from her classmates. The lyrics stopped and chords dampened, though the melody continued. "Yeah, whining about it won't do anybody any good. We didn't see very pleasant things out there either so we're just as freaked as you all are, I'm sure."
[22:02:20] <@MrMicheals> The student looks at Iska, then shakes her head. "I don't really understand what I saw. It was like... Like... When you change your TV to a channel you don't have, and then she, she, She just... Wasn't."
[22:02:23] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Anymore than any of the other shit today? Shoot."
[22:03:07] * Lia_Ardell walks up to Sheryl, and gets in very close, "Look, you're killing us if you take that game with you."
[22:03:28] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "What? Why? It's mine, isn't it?"
[22:03:53] * Iska_Clarke stops stomping on the phone, satisfied that it's suitably busted.
[22:04:14] <Iska_Clarke> "Something like that happened in the computer lab when we were out there."
[22:04:21] <Lia_Ardell> "It's yours, but if you keep it, we'll be its. Do you understand? These THINGS are working through your gameboy. Just like they do through phones and windows and computers. You're giving it a direct line to us."
[22:04:29] <@MrMicheals> ((TEN MINUTES.))
[22:04:30] <Iska_Clarke> "...and we found more clothes, too."
[22:04:37] * Iska_Clarke 's face is stony.
[22:05:06] <@MrMicheals> "...More?" asks the student. "...Any... Any ID? It's just, my sister is in 130, and.... and..."
[22:05:14] * Sheryl_Portsmith stares at Lia... "Mmmmmm?"
[22:05:25] <Iska_Clarke> "...damn.  What was her name?"
[22:05:27] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Alright..."
[22:05:31] * Kia_Ardell lifted her fingers from the guitar, breathing a heavy sigh. Letting it down and sliding back into the case with a click-click-clack, she placed a hand on her sister's shoulder. "Relax, that's not gonna help anything. It's freaky as all hell but... let it go, all we can do is wait until teach gets back."
[22:05:41] <@MrMicheals> "Sarah. Sarah S Rockwell."
[22:05:45] * Sheryl_Portsmith takes her GBA out of her back pocket...
[22:06:09] * Elsa_Cisneros speaks up again. "Alright then. So, we going out ta look for teach again or what?"
[22:06:20] * Sheryl_Portsmith gets on her knee and, with GBA in hand sticks her arm to the back of her own desk
[22:06:47] <Lia_Ardell> "We should smash it. Don't worry, i-when we make it out of here, I'll buy you a new one."
[22:07:27] * Iska_Clarke turns to Elsa.  "Hey...did you see any IDs in those clothes we found?"
[22:07:50] * Kia_Ardell smiled, picking up her heavy case again. As much as she loved to be a bitch, she had to stand up for her emotionally frail sister every once in a while. "That's a bit extreme this early-- don't worry, if anything comes out of there I'll smash its face in with -THIS- thing." She heaved her guitar up, albeit somewhat embarrassingly because it's still not the lightest of instruments to carry.
[22:07:56] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Fraid not. Just phones and shit."
[22:08:12] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "But it's a waste of money if you do that!"
[22:08:45] <Iska_Clarke> "Hmmm..." the girl looks over to her other classmate "what kind of phone does she have?"
[22:08:45] * Kia_Ardell nodded. "Point, exactly. That's because nothing's in there, our heads are just getting messed with."
[22:08:47] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Besides, wouldn't it be OK if I just left at the back of my desk so nobody takes it?"
[22:08:51] * Elsa_Cisneros looks at Sheryl and glares. "Sheryl, put it away if its making what's her clone's face." She looks at the Lia clone. "If she puts it away, will ya calm the fuck down?"
[22:09:18] * Lia_Ardell looks from Kia to Sheryl and backs down, moving to stand behind Kia
[22:09:23] <Elsa_Cisneros> *if its making whats her clone's face freak.
[22:09:51] <Kia_Ardell> (Sure you don't mean the Kia clon- OH I GET IT)
[22:10:51] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "Fine... *sigh* I'll just leave it where it is now."
[22:11:19] <@MrMicheals> "So... you didn't find anything..." Rockwell says.
[22:11:27] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Atta fucking girl. Thing 2, the one without the fucking strings, will ya calm down now?"
[22:12:14] * Iska_Clarke rubs her forehead, trying to clear her mind.  "We found a buncha phones.  Did your sister have one?"
[22:12:35] * Lia_Ardell turns her head down and embarrassedly mutters, "I'm sorry. I've been really afraid, and it's just getting to me."
[22:13:29] * Elsa_Cisneros nods and looks over to Panicky Student 1 "Just that today's prime time event is all over the place."
[22:14:18] <Iska_Clarke> "C'mon, Rockwell...you gotta give me something to work with here."
[22:14:23] <@MrMicheals> "My sister didn't use phones, no.
[22:14:34] <@MrMicheals> "Susa- Sarah was never the type..."
[22:15:07] <Lia_Ardell> "Susa-sarah?"
[22:15:21] <@MrMicheals> "She doesn't like being called by her middle name."
[22:15:36] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Woah woah woah, back up. You. Explain. Toot fucking sweet"
[22:15:44] <Iska_Clarke> "Okay, that's...good.  She's--"
[22:16:02] * Kia_Ardell stopped as far as the conversation was concerned to become a think tank. There was no way to get through the electronic doors... was there? There HAD to be some sort of way to make it downstairs without risking a trek through the screamer room again.
[22:16:17] <Iska_Clarke> Oh boy.  Here we go again, apparently.  It's hard to believe Elsa has such a mouth on her.
[22:16:46] <@MrMicheals> ((Elsa, roll POP.
[22:21:24] <@MrMicheals> "She's transferred a lot, along with me, and gets confused with other kids a lot because a lot of kids have the name Susan. In the other school it was the other way around... I don't see why it matters..."
[22:22:04] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Huh. Cool. I can get that." And honestly? Elsa could. She
[22:22:37] <Elsa_Cisneros> She's looking a lot more mellow as she keeps talking to this chick. "Well, what's up?" she asks with surprising caution.
[22:23:30] * Sheryl_Portsmith is sitting on the floor next to her desk, legs crossed... She whines quietly, but loud enough and in an annoying enough tone to get people's attention "IIII'm hungryyyy!"
[22:24:14] * Iska_Clarke realizes this is going to get worse before it gets better.  Particularly with Sheryl around.
[22:24:28] <@MrMicheals> TEN MINUTES.
[22:24:48] <@MrMicheals> It's been nearly an hour and no sign of Micheals.
[22:24:58] <Lia_Ardell> "I don't think we can do much about that right now, Sheryl. It could be too dangerous to try the cafeteria."
[22:25:46] <Iska_Clarke> "What about the vending machines?"
[22:27:26] <Sheryl_Portsmith> "I don't know if there are any around..."
[22:29:51] * Kia_Ardell slung her instrument over her shoulder again. "I think I caught a glance of some earlier if you're up for going out through THAT again. If... we can make it through without going into the computer rooms, we should be okay. Up for a try?"
[22:31:04] * Iska_Clarke nods.  "Yeah, I'm getting pretty thirsty...we're gonna need something to break the glass, though..."
[22:31:26] <Elsa_Cisneros> "If you're thirsty, I got some warm water you can suck down."
[22:31:52] * Kia_Ardell bumped the guitar hanging from her shoulder. "Gotcha covered. We can tell them it's an emergency, right?"
[22:32:25] <Iska_Clarke> "...if there's even any teachers left, then yeah."
[22:33:06] <Elsa_Cisneros> "Cool. Let's bust some heads."
