EVENT: Snowed In

[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.]

[Right off the bat, Ellen's first thought is that this ghost isn't actually as terrifying as she expected it to be. Also, why is it lying on the ground?

... Oh. This isn't a ghost at all, is it? It's just... a regular... student.]


....

[A beat passes and she coughs, clears her throat and she's suddenly the absolute picture of calm composure.]

Of course I am. Here. [She steps forward, offering a hand out to Duck.] I'm sorry if I startled you.



[Yep.]

[ Duck will accept the help up, for she is a weakling. ]

Um, it's fine! Really!

I'm sorry if I scared you too! [ That's the only explanation she has for this girl's sudden scream. ]

[But at least she's a teeny one so it's easy for Ellen to help get her to her feet again.]

Um... [she coughs, as scary as this situation is she is this girl's senior so clearly it's of vital importance that she be coolheaded and collected in a crisis] I was just a little surprised, that's all.
