The Underground Opens / Journey to Guild

[afterlifer]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: School Festival Day 3: The Underground Opens / Journey to Guild
WHEN: 9/30/3013. Any time.
WHERE: Surface, passages to Guild, Guild.
WARNINGS: Fighting, language, freakouts!! Let me know if there's anything else!
SUMMARY: After dealing with the shadows for a day, The SSS finally managed to get a team down into Guild to clear out any shadows that had made it down that far already. The Underground is being announced as temporary cover and any may head down there if they choose to.

It'd been quite a few hours since the shadows had first appeared, but it wasn't as though no one had been doing anything. Everyone had been fighting, hiding, running-- anything they could to keep others safe. It wasn't much but around 3:00AM on the 30th, a mass series of text messages was sent out to everyone.

Message 1: Guild cleared of shadows. Need fighters to protect. SSS invites all to take shelter. Entrance in gym (seats pulled, take ladder in pull-out) or underwater through river. Find SSS member to lead you. Traps still set. Be careful. SSS will send out regular teams to fetch bodies who failed to get in. Can't disarm to keep shadows out. Attached is list in order of booby traps for Gym entrance.

Message 2: Ceiling Hammers (Just don't get hit)
Rolling Boulder- whole tunnel. Run. Take corridor on right.
Lasers- Use smoke bombs near entrance to see & dodge. Panel code is 44917.
Collapsing Ceiling- Run. Panel code 62108.
Go down hall, keep to edge or floor will fall into pit of spikes.
Get into underwater area. Swim through underwater hall. Head toward side with stairs.
Ignore puppy it is just a toy.
Don't fall down waterfall.
Take stairs and follow until reach Guild.

Message 3: You'll know it when you're there. Good luck. Text back if you need help. Some comps available here.

[He sighed softly at her question, instinctually looking up at the cavernous ceiling far above them. He wondered what it must be like up there now...]

We call them Shadows... I don't know what they really are. Code, I guess. [It all sounds very abstract. He looks back down at her.] I've only seen them once before. One of my friends... he got turned into an NPC. The world was punishing us for staying too long, and- [Yurippe said that it had something to do with her caring about them all too much... he figured he could keep that to himself. Besides, he suspected that hadn't been the catalyst this time.] -That message... I'm not sure what that was about, really.

[He wished he had more answers.] I'm Hinata, by the way. [He didn't recognize her, and now seemed as good a time as any...]

[mightletyouknowme]

Staying too long?! [Her shoulders tense, even if there was something a little too scared about her to get completely angry.]

T-they're the ones who brought us here! It's not like I wanted to die and come to a weird school!

[Then her head drops along with her voice. Her name is a bit hard to hear.] But since we're here... I'm Kashiwazaki Sena.

[frequent_flyer]

[She's got a point, he manages an apologetic little shrug and a faint smile. He feels bad for not having more information for her.] The point of this world is to come to terms with our lives and move on... but being here is like getting another chance..! So why would we give up immortality, you know?

[Her voice was low enough, he almost didn't hear it, leaning down slightly as if that would help. Kashiwazaki Semopunome? No, that would be ridiculous. Kashiwazaki Sena, that was probably it.]

Don't worry, Senacchi! [Wait, what.] You're not alone, we'll find a way out of this and everything can go back to normal..! We just have to bear with it until then...

[mightletyouknowme]

S-Senacchi? [That wasn't something that was often added to her name and especially not from a guy. Maybe she just wasn't used to guys being laid back enough around her to use it.

Ignore the blush and turn of her head, it can be easy to get sometimes.]

If I have to be here, I'm going to make it better. [She'll take that second chance.] I'm going to make better friends. I won't let anything, not even them, stop me.

[He might share a voice actor sound an awful lot like a guy she knew, but that didn't mean he had the same reservations about deciding immediately that they were on a first name basis. Not only that, but he'd already assigned her a nickname.]

[At least she wasn't yelling at him like Yuri had, grinning to himself as she blushed and turned away.]

That's the spirit! [He gave her a thumbs up, but wait a minute... hadn't he heard the name Sena before..?] Ah- You're in the SSS right? [Hinata's status should be obvious, based on his tan SSS uniform jacket.]

[mightletyouknowme]

[She doesn't get that at first, though it confuses her why he seems familiar. Maybe he's in one of her classes and she just hasn't paid attention to him. She hadn't known Kodaka very long before her death, after all.]

[She finally looks back up, surprised before she even takes the jacket in but she nods, the grin coming back.] And part of the student counsel. [Because she needed something to make friends without that club.] So it's no wonder you've heard of me.
