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.]

[Athrun is in the hall, walking between classes, when the power cuts and he tries (and fails) to open the door outside. After pushing into it several times, he backs off, sighs, and leans back against a wall.]

I know I said this morning that I didn't want to have class today, but this is not what I meant.

[Equius happens by Athrun, brushing some snow off his shoulders in an almost casual manner.]

I do not understand. Why are the lights off?

[He catches Athrun's eye. Did someone just get in from outside? How?]

The power failed. The snow probably brought down a power pole or something.
