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.]

And then several textbooks fly toward her. She barely dodges a Calculus book before Chemistry feels a need to wham straight into her arm. Is... she seriously throwing books at her? Doesn't she need those for homework? She directs another jet of smoke to pick up the books, which is exactly as difficult as it sounds. Just as she's prepared to try levitating it back to the student, the fire extinguisher slams into her stomach.
She collapses to the ground, releasing Ellen, and the books go flying in whatever direction pleases them. She grips her stomach in pain and a ginormous fog of smoke jets from the stump into the hallway. Its almost akin to screaming.]

And she's free! She stumbles a few steps when that smoke limb releases her, looking up just in time to see the ghost fall and... release... a... huge cloud of smoke into the air.]
....
[Which only makes Ellen scream ever louder than before because NOW SHE MADE IT MAD and turn and dash around the corner, running just as fast as she can.
And that's pretty fast.]

Wonder if this is what "getting the wind knocked out of you" feels like. Her stomach in a strange state of emptiness. Judging by the ceiling above her, maybe getting the smoke knocked out of you is the better phrase for her.
Why is this her life.
Maybe she could get back to the room, put on different clothes, and try to look as normal as possible. Or just lie here. Oh sweet ground, you're the only one that doesn't hurt her. Almost as nice as beds.]
