Detchitoyo High School: Freshmen Year, Q. 1

[Zack2216]

As time passes, students continue to come down the path you had taken earlier, taking up patches of grass, conversing amongst themselves. Soon, the sun moves directly overhead. Men and women in white cook's dress bring out boxes apon boxes apon boxes of pizza, setting them up on long tables that had once been covered in cookie platters. The remaining cookies had been moved to the ends of each of the tables.

Mr. Hazel, the principle, steps up to the podium. Mr. Hazel "Good day students. What great weather we're having. I hope all of you had an enlightening tour around the school, and we hope you'll enjoy your school year. Go ahead and enjoy yourself to your lunch. We had it prepared by the well talented workers from Cowboy Jeraffs."

As the suns draws high Tom squints, and retreats further into shade.

Getting hot, hope we're not out here for much longer.

Mr. Hazel "Ah, now that everyone has had there fill, you can go ahead and..." He pauses a moment, staring at something farther back in the sky. "Wow, I guess we had better pick up and head out, looks like a storm is coming." He looks to the other teachers and says something, but only Joshua (listen roll of 31), Lugh (listen roll of 21), and Thomas (28 listen, 18 read lips) understand what he is saying.
Mr. Hazel "I don't remember anything like this in the weather cast this morning. I hope this isn't going to maintain tradition..." The other teachers look at him with fake smiles.

The winds in the area pick up drasticly, and the storm races onward, blanketing the whole sky. The clouds are darker now, and flashes of lightning are constant. Thunder follows each flash as the energy rips the air asunder. Strokes to the ground steadily occur more often, striking trees in the forest around you.

Three strokes of lightning connect at the center of the storm, now forming an eye directly above the school. However, the eye yields now light, but a purple black portal, with black static bolts running all throughout it.

Many of the students now have ran for cover, though some stand in ah of what's transgressing. The teachers have ran for cover, and the cooks have hastily packed up the tables and food, which have now disappeared with them. Of those students staying behind, several of the are older students, and Ryuoh is one of them.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Ah, now things really get interesting.

Thomas gets up and takes a white knuckle grip of his briefcase. Strong winds mess with his hair and clothes as he approaches Ryouh.

"Ryouh, I noticed Mr Hazel referred to this storm as being part of a tradition. I take it you merely forgot to inform us of something of this magnitude, yes?" Thomas says, his expression blank, but his eyes boring into Ryouh, "Should we expect violence?"

Thomas takes a moment to look around for members of the faculty.

 

[Zack2216]

Ryuoh: "Well, something odd usually happens at the beginning of each school year, but I haven't heard of anything like this. I don't know what to expect, just be prepared for the worst..."

Bolts of lightning strike a couple places in the field, some students jumping expectantly, others watching with stern faces or glee.

(ooc: cool music plays)

As you continue to watch, the black static grows more steady, currents of deep purple energy running through the portal now striking at a large object that is now protruding from the portal. As it pushes it's way through, you can see lightning strike it repeatedly. It is struck by three lightning bolts and bursts into blue flame, and is now falling towards the ground around you.

Someone from the crowd with long blond hair calls out in a booming voice
"Ryuoh, you and your friends need to get some cover while I escort everyone here to safety! You should be able to handle this!"

He plays on a very complicated guitar that wasn't there earlier, and he gains everyones attention. "Follow me!" He cries as he runs towards the school, everyone following him now, except for you and Ryuoh.
Ryuoh: "Doesn't look like it's too big, lets get behind a couple trees!" he yells to each of you and runs for cover.

The blue inferno falling from the sky above you is steadily getting closer.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Thomas nods and procedes to follow Ryouh into cover.

 

[GnomeWorks]

"What is that?" Kryptonite asks, as she follows Ryuoh and Thomas.

 

[Zack2216]

Ryuoh, his voice raised over the storm raging around all of you "I don't know what it is, but I intend to find out once it hits the ground." A serious, troubled expression appears over his face as he gets behind a tree.

The blue ball of fire atlast hits the ground once the last of you successfully get cover. A deafening explosion resounds, as blue fire and earth shoot in all directions, the trees preventing you from being swallowed in the blast. Despite this, the temperature doesn't change around you.

Once the fire and dust have settled, Ryuoh comes out from behind his tree and goes forward to investigate the crater.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Thomas follows Ryouh, monitoring his expression to gauge his reaction to whatever's in the crater.

No temperature change... the nature of this incident is undoubtedly supernatural.

 

[Imerak]

"Wah?" Tetsuya says as the storm begins. He starts to run away, but the cards in his hand he was looking for fall to the ground. Cursing, he stops to pick them up, keeping his eyes on the crater as he does so.

(He'll be there for the next round or two, then resume running if nothing`s attacking him.)
