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.]

[Okay, okay. Equius had just punched through quite a bit of snow. He was tired, and cold, and was this close to getting back inside the school, where he would obviously be safe from the snow storm he unfortunately found himself in.

And then he spotted the doors opening, and students poured out. They were coming in his direction.

Naturally, he had no idea what was going on.]

...What.

Fire Alarm.

[Thomas started to explain as the running stopped, and many of the students - including a poor sap only in a bath towel started milling around as they took in the situation]

Either fire, or smoke tripped it. I hope ssomeone wasn't smoking inside and it's an actually f-f-fire.
