Oh, no. You are DOOMED.
Mother Nature had one hell of a temper, and if not that, then perhaps a sadistic sense of humor. The world was Her plaything, a marionette at best, and the people who lived on it, rather unfortunate victims to Her sometimes violent moodswings. For only She could start with an overcast, grey sky, and splatter across it heavy clouds, treacherous storms, and relentless armies of snowflakes that had lost all endearment only to become companions of inconvenience and burden. Someone or something had maddened her greatly - or so would have been the assumption if one gave reason to believe in Sprites of Nature who controlled an entire world's plethora of environments.
Yet Smash Academy had only been given a taste of what was to come. And since they were such diligent and well-behaved little pets, She had reason to reward them. With more entertaining obstacles that would, no doubt, impede their precious plans that somehow took precedence to pleasing and sating her. No, they had not appreciated their darling sunshine days, clear blue skies, and painful sunburns.
"Stop playing at your human-made technological machines and bask in the glorious sun I gave to you!" she wished she could have said. But somehow winter's torment, she knew, would be a far sweeter revenge upon ungrateful children.
And that was how it had begun.
By stand alone days of simple snowfall and ambitious winds, there would be no suspicion of greater minds and hands at work. Steadily through the week, each day became harsher than the last. And like a great many number of battles in a war, there came a pinnacle for Her success. She sent the most worthy blizzard down to the surface in its invincible path and rendered for them a weekend She was certain the town and academy's citizens would remember for some time to come.
One moment was mostly peaceful, and as calm as unruly weather would allow. In some places music played. In some places, lights were dimly lit to provide a pathway. In some places, there was the happy clicking and tapping at a computer. In some places, showers and baths were being taken, savored, and enjoyed. And in other places, unsuspecting people had taken to idle chitter and chatter with other friends who were likely down the hall.
But in the next...
All went black and silent, save for the whipping wind and strangling branches of trees, as if whispering threats of what people would find in the dark.
[OOC Notes:
The following is a reminder of how things are going down for the next few days.
♦ This will last from January 18 ~ 20.
♦ The following are affected by the blizzard: electricity, heaters, hot water, TVs, gadgets, gizmos, the network. Congratulations, you've been officially stripped of your luxuries. (No computers for you.)
♦ The school's backup generators will work for about one hour before mysteriously failing. What's causing it to fail? Maybe some of you should go check out the generators themselves...
♦ The blizzard causing this blackout is pretty powerful. You probably don't want to go skipping through it lest you get blown away (in a bad way) and never return.
♦ Power will be restored, and the generators repaired, by Monday morning, January 21.]
Open like an open thing!
So, finger lit like a candle, she navigates the rapidly-cooling tunnels under the school, trying to make it back to library basement and the basement of the student dorms.
But the Academy steam tunnels are creepy, even with the lights ON...
/slides over
As a tiny candle flame creeps closer towards her, she squints at the darkness and calls out to greet it. "Uh... Hello...?" ...Sort of.
no subject
[The candle flame bounces faster as her steps quicken, reverberating towards the two. Soon enough a grateful-looking purple-haired girl with big glasses stumbles into view.]
"Oh hi! Am I glad to see someone here. I was starting to think that the whole place was suddenly deserted or something..."
no subject
She trails off and leans from side to side so she can look around Lucca, like she's searching for a candle or something. "... Stuff. 'Specially in the... basements...? Hey, how are you doin' that?"
no subject
"Huh? Oh--" She raises her hand now. Yes, that is most definitely an orange flame hovering above her fingernail. "I'm just using a little fire magic, that's all. I had to do somethin' so I could see through the tunnels from the motor shop."
no subject
"Magic!?" Meanwhile, Hilda's totally BAMBOOZLED. The prospect of magic lights her up like a little kid in a candy store, and she looks completely astonished. "For real? You ain't, like, a Pokemon? 'Cause that's totally boss."
no subject
She shifts back to give them room, and demonstrates by way of igniting a small, dense fireball that hovers may be an inch above the palm of her hand.
no subject
"That's... AWESOME." Hilda applauds while she continues to stare at the fireball. She's totally speechless for a good while before she suddenly remembers she wanted to say something. "--Oh, yeah! So, like, what world are you from?" Any world that gives people free fireballs is a-ok as far as she's concerned.
no subject
no subject
"Oh-- Pssh-- Duh-- I didn't even introduce myself! I'm Hilda."
no subject
She waves the fireball upwards like a torch, peering down the hall and to the stairs leading upward. "So... we're under the dorms now, right? I didn't get too lost?"
no subject
"Yeah, they go up to some kinda storage room. If you make a..." She pauses to think,
and sneaks a glance at her open hands to see which one makes the L"Left out the door, I think, the common room's like right there if ya keep goin' straight."no subject
[Then something occurs to her.]
...What're you doing all the way down here, by the way? Are you looking for something? Or someone?
no subject
"Uh-- In, like, a fireplace, not... the bad kind. To give my bud a little break," Hilda pats her Emboar buddy on the back for emphasis. "I figured, y'know, basements got a lotta stuff in 'em."
no subject
Now that she's filled in, she casts around herself. "While I'm here, lemme help! I can even light the way if the big guy needs a break now." Even as she leans down to pick up a busted piece of crate, her left hand raises and ignites like a torch. If nothing else it can light her own way too.
"It shouldn't hurt if you touch it, but still I'd stay clear."
no subject
"I really owe ya one."
