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.]

[She could have, it's true. But luckily for her, anything that isn't immediately fatal is something he can shrug off.]

[HEAVY SIGH]

Mikoto, listen.

I'm not asking you to do nothing. I'm asking you to sit tight and wait until we have more information about what's going on and what needs to happen. It's about patience, not inaction, okay?

[tsunderbolting]

So you're basically saying that I can't just get the information myself? If that's the plan, then you're going to have to defeat me for it!

[ Sparks trickle yet again from the tips of her fingers. The power generated in it is a lot more powerful than it was before, if only because of her frustration.

Maybe she's being reckless, but she'll charge in, attacking with all she's got. ]

[He's going to take that hit. His magic shield is still up, so the bulk of her electricity will fizzle when it hits his armour. Not all of it, but enough that he can weather it and just focus on the physical portion of her attacks.]

Yes! I am saying that!

[he's going to try to hit her with another holy pulse, to knock her back and put some distance between them again. unfortunately, it's very easy to dodge just by getting inside his arm's reach.]

Because there are people here who are paid to do that and letting you go out on your own is a liability!

[tsunderbolting]

[ Jumping back to avoid the hit, she grits her teeth, sliding to a stop as it hits her. At the very least, it hasn't drawn blood, which is somewhat of a relief as she wipes her brow. ]

Just because they're paid to do things doesn't mean they're good at it!

[ Mikoto can definitely talk as someone who gets near perfect grades and can literally hack into any system in the school with a simple cellphone device.

WHAT A CHEATER.

She lets a few sparks fly in his direction before taking a leap in the air; she needs to close the distance between the two of them and make sure that she reaches him. If she can get within a distance so she can touch him, it should be game, set, and match. In the meanwhile, she'll get to rebuilding the sword (more like a whip at this point) with the iron sand so she can use it to potentially deflect blows while she's still in midair.

Mikoto has the advantage while she's not on the ground, after all. ]
