EVENT: Snowed In

[the_npcdo]

[Early Monday afternoon, the snow starts. At first, a charming novelty glimpsed through the classroom windows, but within minutes it becomes a veritable blizzard. Any classes being held outside are urged to bring themselves inside. Within half an hour, the power's cut out and the snow is piled high enough to make entry/exit from the buildings difficult. Within an hour, it's impossible. Snow is piled halfway up the first floor windows, and most of the doors have frozen shut. The second story windows seem to be working just fine, though, as are any rooftop access doors.]

[The blizzard finally calms down, but students and faculty are trapped inside--or outside, if they managed to be on the wrong side of the doors during the storm. The power's out and the cold is starting to seep in through the insulation. Worse, there seems to be some kind of unseen presence in the buildings, an eerie cackle echoing through the empty halls or an unsettling sense that you're not alone.]

[Someone's going to have to restart the generator before we end up with a school full of studentcicles. It wouldn't hurt to clear some pathways out of the buildings, either.]

[Snow... such an odd, alien thing. As a Troll, Equius had never experienced such a phenomenon. So, while the rest of his Track and Field class had moved back inside to avoid the storm, he had stayed outside to investigate it. He'd show those lowbloods how a highblood rolled.

And then he discovered that it was basically frozen water. So now was a good time to go inside... except he was now trapped in knee deep snow, which was still rising.]

....Fudgesicles.

[Quickly, he tried to clear a path to one of the school entrances, large clouds of snow sent into the air by Equius's strength.]

[Dlanor saw movement out through a window through the snow as she was running around attempting to help other students, and made her way to the door it appeared to be heading toward.]

[Time would tell whether it was actually a trapped student or some other weird thing, but she was prepared for either.]

[Equius hated snow now. Snow could go and do a backflip pirouette into the void for all the b100b100d cared.

Eventually, he managed to reach the door. Frozen shut, they groaned and resisted the Troll's attempts to enter the school. Even as strong as he was, this was becoming difficult and foolish.]
