Recommended Listening: Not sorry

Happy Spring, Smash Academy. What do you mean it's been spring for a few days? Whatever, it hasn't been properly rung in until now.

And so, without warning, at the strike of midnight, loud music begins to blare through the student dorms. It's loud and pounding and if you thought you could get any sleep tonight you were WRONG. It's probably even audible from all the way in the teachers' dorms. Should one step out of their room to investigate or complain, they will probably quickly notice that the halls are filled with a rainbow of flashing lights all over the place, fake smoke, and sparkles as far as the eye can see. Who are those shady figures leaning against the wall offering free glowsticks to anyone that comes near? Who cares?

Let's just leave it at The Hands getting very bored. Go ahead and try busting into the A/V room like that'll fix anything, but for the next hour or two, nobody's getting any sleep. Might as well make the most of it.

Pitty Party

[raw_angel_power]

Even if he got only two hours of sleep so far, you can't really stay cranky when it's so lively and fun out there. At least, that's how Pit thinks of the racket. The grogginess gets hammered out of his system with the catchy beat and he wanders out. He doesn't even have a bedhead because his hair always looks kinda messed up anyway!

"Time to jump around on the couches and pretend like I know how to dance!" cried Pit, taking the glowstick he was so generously offered to clip it where his laurel crown usually went in a half-circle around his head. He bounded down to the common room to rave it up in his pajamas.

AND SO, THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND HIM.

[cowardlyjustice]

Oh, look even the demons were partying. Somewhere in his brain, he vaguely remember that he was stuck with the demon -or an actual angel?- during the mistletoe mishaps, but that was all the water under the bridge the moment he dance his way to join Pit's own made-up flailing.

Upon registering the sound of blaring music played on the night, Brown slammed his dorm room open in excitement with his eyes gleamed with absolute glee. Lucky for him that he hadn't change into his boxers or went to bed just yet. Who cares where the music come from or how ridiculously loud it was, it was time to get down.

In a fashion that could only be consider as dorky or out of style, Brown made his was dancing through the halls of the dorm, probably bothering anyone that came in close proximity.

[forgetbeam]

And lo, one [1] cranky ex-hall monitor stuck his spiky little head out of his dorm door, completely disoriented from having his strict sleeping patterns so rudely interrupted. He wasn't even fully awake yet, all he knew was there was a lot of noise and flashing lights and the distant awareness that maybe he should have thrown some pants on or something.

But first, he was going to point at the first person he saw and shout a demand to turn the music off and get to bed. Good luck being heard over the music like that, Kitty.

Sonny had quite a long day behind him. With classes picking up a little and his job and his Ukulele practice and his appetite which required vast lengths of time spent in the cafeteria, he had been looking forward to a nice, long sleep tonight.

And you would think that an accomplished sleeper like Sonny could weather such an auditory storm. It wasn't as if it was Pokeflute music blasting through the halls. But as it stood, he generally slept in Human form. And was much more easily woken.

So, he ambled out into the hall, dressed in his flannel Pajamas looking.... grumpy!?

"Whoever turned on that music is very inconsiderate!" he said to whoever happened to be nearby. "I don't even see a snack table."

[magicdancer]

Shantae loved music. She loved a good dancing beat too. And seeing as she wasn't getting any sleep, and seeing as how most of the school was up and about enjoying the impromptu dance party, she wasn't about to stay inside.

She just felt the music flowing through her, arms, legs, and hips swaying to the beat. She was a sight to behold, just getting so into it. She was in her element.

[manforflowers]

Night owl that he was, Inigo had been trying to sneak out of the dorms when those sounds started blaring through the speaker system. Sounds... no, there was a definite beat there. And a tune. It was music - though he'd never heard anything like it before. This unfamiliar rhythm was both disconcerting and enthralling, with an addictive quality that seemed to send the urge to dance through his whole body.

...He wasn't going to, though. Obviously. The sound was so loud, it was waking everyone up. The merc quickly rushed back, intent on heading to his room to avoid being tempted by this impromptu rave when... he saw...

Shantae's mesmerizing dance.

Inigo stopped in his tracks, entranced to the point of speechlessness once again.

[magicdancer]

Shantae didn't realize he was watching and staring for a few moments after he started. She was just that into her dancing to notice. But when she did, her instinctive reaction quickly gave way to amusement. She knew why he was staring. He wished he could join in, he wished he could do what she was doing. It was an amusing thought for her. And she showed him that by flashing him a wink as she kept dancing. If he could work up the courage to join her, more power to him. Otherwise, he could content himself with studying her moves. It was very different when she had an audience less concerned with her appearance and more interested in her actual technique.

[vela_nova]

Blaze wanted to SLEEP, GOD DAMN IT. And blaring loud rave music wasn't helping there. She was going to shut up whoever was responsible for this, so help her.

If one happened by the AV room, they might have seen Blaze trying to break the door down. Would you help? Or stop her? Or try to make her dance?

[will_be_god]

Cyrus wasn't about to tolerate this sort of thing (for oh so many reasons) and had come to put an immediate stop to the blaring noise. Seeing someone else there at least ensured that this hadn't been some sort of mass planned event.

"Stand aside."

[vela_nova]

Blaze released the doorknob when she realized who that voice belonged to. Cyrus. Knuckles had warned her about him and asked her to keep an eye on him... If nothing else, perhaps this would give her a sense of what he was capable of.

She stepped back. "I suppose you have a plan to stop this," she said tersely.

[will_be_god]

It didn't take any words, just a snap of his fingers, and Gyarados lunged forward, swinging its tail around and gathering water as it did so--Aqua Tail.

And yet the strike did nothing. The door remained in place, and the music, if anything, seemed to get even louder.

Cyrus scoffed. "This is the work of some terrible force. We must not abandon our efforts. The wall may give..."

[vela_nova]

Blaze crossed her arms, scoffing as Gyarados attacked the door and did exactly squat. "Hitting it... Now why didn't I think of that?" she asked sarcastically.

[will_be_god]

"Gyarados is of greater strength than either of us. Certainly you are stronger, physically, than I--that much I can tell on sight. Yet you lack the power of a Gyarados. Or the precision, I presume, of a Weavile."

That accompanied the appearence of a black weasel, sickles for hands and a grand red crest crowning it. On a cue, it attacked the hinges of the door. Again, to no avail.

[vela_nova]

She shook her head at this display. All sound and fury, signifying nothing. "You're welcome to believe whatever you want. It seems right now, you and your superior Pokemon are no more useful than I am," she replied.

[will_be_god]

Her mocking tone was disgusting, but that didn't yield any visible reaction from him. "And yet this would not be known were it not for experimentation."

[vela_nova]

She was nowhere near done mocking you, Cyrus. But for now, the matter at hand. "Then instead of fighting hard, we should fight smart," she said. "We find whoever has the key to this room."

[will_be_god]

"That much was evident. However, the direct approach was required to rule it out." She was apparently denser than he'd initially believed.

[vela_nova]

She simply had no patience for him. When Knuckles left, keeping an eye on Cyrus became her responsibility. She was partially testing his patience and his limits, and partially dismayed that she even ended up in this situation with him in the first place.

"Do you know who would have the keys?" she asked tersely.

[will_be_god]

"The janitor, as well as the headmasters. Though neither of them are to be trusted, and may be behind this." He paused, gaze unfixing for a moment. "Their powers...truly something beyond this world...they must be studied..." And as quickly as he'd been distracted, he shook it off. "For a later date. I know not where the janitor is, so I advise we split up to seek him out."

[vela_nova]

Blaze's goal now was to keep an eye on Cyrus, but considering she also wanted to get some sleep, she decided to capitulate. It wasn't like there was anything he could do that was suspicious NOW of all times.

"Very well, I agree," she said. "Let's split up and see if we can find the janitor."

[will_be_god]

He nodded to his pokemon, who took off down opposite ends of the hallway. "I expect that, if the headmasters are truly the cause, simply locating the key will be fruitless. That said, it must be attempted."

[vela_nova]

Blaze sighed, face meeting palm. "I'll go this way. I don't think I can take much more of your sunny disposition," she scoffed, leaving Cyrus to his devices in a huff.

[will_be_god]

She was impatient and irrational. Best to work on his own.

[will_be_god]

It was absolutely audible to the teachers, and Cyrus was especially hit, having not slept for about two days. At the first notes, he bristled, and set his wrench aside. The robotics could wait a little longer.

This would require a heavy-duty solution, and Gyarados's Earthquake and Aqua Tail could be vital in putting a stop to this violation of human frequency.

[planking]

Flint was also awoken by the noise, and stumbled into the hallway still half-asleep and sans hat. "What in tarnation is going on out here?"

[will_be_god]

"I seek to discover the same," Cyrus declared. His approach had been sudden, direct.

[bunnyfears]

Yarne had never heard anything remotely like this music before, so the second it wakes him up in the middle of the night, he naturally thinks it must be some kind of horrible calamity or attempt on his life. When he runs out of his room in a panic only to find lights flashing everywhere and the halls filled with smoke, it doesn't do much to dissuade those fears.

So now in addition to the loud music, there's a terrified rabbit-eared guy running through the halls, screaming at the top of his lungs, "HELP!!! I DON'T WANT TO GO EXTINCT!"

[andthefungoeson]

Leon never went to sleep that early so he was already awake when the loud music starts playing he was only mildly surprised... Until his roommate woke up panicked and ran out of the room.

The redhead would be seen poking his head out to yell after his roommate, "Dumbass!! It's just music!!!"

[drawin_on_trees]

Oh, is it early in the morning and time to be as loud as you possibly want? Because that's Skull Kid's favorite time of the day.

In addition to phat beats rocking the halls of the dorms, there's now an imp running up and down yelling at the top of his lungs.

[birdlady]

Princesses need beauty sleep, and Melia was not getting any. She groggily opened the door and peeked outside. Her appearance was still impeccable despite having been fast asleep, and the only sign that she was tired was her incessant yawning.

"Pardon me," She asked to whoever passes by. "Do you happen to know what's going on?"
