What's This?

[Violet Lockheart]

EVEN WITH THESE CHAINS

you can't stop me

Violet would sniffle, her meal nearly finished, she'd take a free hand to wipe her nose. The cold chill nothing unfamiliar to her in all honesty but the more strange occurance was however the small flakes dropping powder on her nearly finished meal.

"Haha very funny..." Violet would stand up, burger in hand and hovering atop the table. "Whose the jokester?!" She'd demand outright emerging from her minute fort.

[Melanie Ross]

I looked up. What was... going on?

"That's not strange at all..." I'd say sarcastically. "Normally it snows BEFORE lunch."

I looked at Krane before spotting Vi in the corner, a burger in her hand. Nice.

[Emily Suddenfield]

Emily yawned and sat up. She looked over at the school, then turned her eyes back down to her book before blinking twice. She looked back up. Snow. 

She looked up at the sky and blinked.

"The....fuck?"

She stood and went inside to look around, trying to see if there was clouds or something by looking up!

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai would feel the sudden change... Interesting... Looking around he saw the snow forming and then saw the students reacting to it. So not an illusion... Then one of the Pillars got up and demanded an answer. Rai didn't like students having any control but Asiv insisted that he let them handle it until it seemed an intervention was necessary. So he would wait and see if the Pillar here would handle it or see if she was the one that needed to be handled...

He hated kids.

[Stevie-Rae]

I looked around the room as it chilled. Was this normal? I wasn't so sure, but hey, I was from Texas. This didn't really happen there. Like ever. Snow was something we heard about in myths and old legends. The other students seemed to react in the same way. So this wasn't normal then. I heard about different kids having Qi's like mine so, maybe...

I watched as Violet stood up and demanded an answer. I too would stand, an angered face shown towards the students.

"Who diad thius? I was just abayout to enjoy myah burrita. What the hell, y'all?" My accent thick as usual.

[SJ Taylor]

Burrito whimpered. SJ was suddenly cold, which was unusual because the library was always at a steady temperature... Maybe the thermos broke? Until-- 

"...huh?" 

She felt something wet on her skin- water? And another- and another- this wasn't rain, it was much too light. But honestly, she couldn't make sense of it because they were indoor. 

"Alright- that's not funny." 

SJ frowned, believing that a student were playing a prank on her. But then again, if that were the case..why wasn't Burrito barking? 

[Sugimoto Kuromori]

The room suddenly chilled and i reached back to wrap my jacket around my shoulders. I was in too much of a 'zone' to notice it was snowing. That was, until a snow flake fell on my paper. I lost my place and sighed. Looking up, i expected to see someone, a student or an immature teacher standing over me with dripping hands or the like. Nothing. It was.... snowing? That's not right.

I made my way to the door and opened it to reveal students in the Cafeteria with the same reaction as I. How odd...

["Wren"]

It was not the snow itself, as lost as the dark-haired girl was in her book, that alerted her that something was amiss. Rather, it was the chatter among those around her.

Sighing through her nose, Wren finished her paragraph and glanced up. As she lifted her head, a shower of white flakes fluttered down from where they had collected on her head. She blinked once in surprise and cast her eyes around.

Huh. So it wasn't just her.

"Weird."

[Mr. Damien 'Mayhem' Caine]

Damien would not really notice the slowly decreasing temperature, due to his habit of keeping his trademark coat on his person at most times, when he wasn't being active. He would however notice, as he pulled his glass up to drink from it, a few flakes of snow in the air drifting down and landing in his glass. Raising an eyebrow, Damien looked around the room thinking that some may have drifted in from a nearby window, when it occurred to him, his office had no windows.

Damien would quickly down the remains of the glass and stand, and head towards his door and throw it open with some force. "What the fuck is going on?" He shouted loudly sounding aggravated that the strange event had disturbed his lunch break. If no one answered him, Damien would stalk off towards the school hallways proper in order to find another teacher, hopefully and if not a student to interrogate.

[Richard Stock]

---It got colder. To reasonable temperatures.

Bloody about time.

Richard took another bite from his sandwich and began to sip from his thermos cup... until he realized that the tea itself was becoming horrifically colder. He stared with increasing concern and then around. Students were looking around, he heard Violet's voice ring out over the din of students. He quickly spotted Violet who was standing up along with Stevie-Rae who was in the corner.

---

Richard got out of his room to see everyone standing in the living room. The corset and skirt woman was leaning against the cameo man, and the two were exchanging scowling faces. The fine-suited man with green hair was sitting on a reverse-facing chair, arms across the top of the seat's back as he leaned forward. The long-haired brunette in grayed military fatigues was sitting, looking thoughtfully forward, both legs to the side and was taking up a little space of the green-haired man's chair. The teal-haired military uniformed with an eye-patch guy was in his... well, wheelchair, arms crossed on his chest contemptuously.

At the center, whom everyone was staring at, stood the white long-haired German with an eye-patch over his left eye. Sitting around the German were several buckets of water. He was smiling, looking at all of them.

"Bitte, vatch carefully. I only have enough energy to do this once today---"

"---Vatch carefully, because du need to know das capabilities of Qi users. Das variety of powers! Das unexpected vays in which zey can be used! Study carefully!" the angry wheel-chaired man growled loudly.

Richard had seen a little bit of Qi---flaming fists, bursts of speed... but he was curious and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, joining the group.

The white-haired man flashed them one last smile and then closed his eyes, bringing his hands down to hover a few inches above the water in the buckets. His hands began to glow...---

---

Vivid images, the voices in his head, the faces of people who didn't exist, all in seconds. He realized he had a death grip on his satchel and promptly loosened it. A trickle of water went down the back of his neck. He was in cold sweat. What did it mean? Why now?

'Danger?'

Immediately, he whisked out his flip phone.

Richard Text to SJ: SJ, something's wrong. Where are you?

The Englishman's eyes began flitting around the cafeteria. If something... bad... was going to happen, during lunch, the pathways would be in total chaos. He hoped no one began stirring up a panic---when some wanker pulled down his window and began yelling. 'Oh no.' He had hoped he was just being paranoid.

Fear.

He looked over at Vi, a bit of ways too far to call out to. He took to his phone again:

Richard Text to Vi: I'm in the cafeteria too. I've got a bad feeling about this.

The students weren't dumb, people were noticing and reacting. But without any immediate threat in sight, it was just paranoia...

Richard began to quickly pack up his things in his satchel and abruptly stood up, hoping to catch the attention of Vi---he was still only 4'9 feet tall.

'C'mon SJ... answer back.'

[Levi Kayamei]

Levi sat at a corner table, enjoying his "chicken ring things" and reading fanfiction on his phone. He had his bluetooth headphones in and was currently enjoying some Linkin Park before he noticed the temperature dropping sharply. He looked around and everyone else seemed to be taking notice too.

What is going on?

[Krane Asiv]

Krane would turn his head at the introduction to Melanie's arrival. He put on that practiced smile realizing she was accepting of their bond of togetherness. Until the temperature hit a low and a few snow flakes drop in front of his face. His eye's widened, and his body went rigid. He quickly turned to his bag and grabbed the Kraken armor he had built so far, slipping it on while telling Melanie.

"We may wish to run."

[Zack Asiv]

At that people would notice the floor and walls including any glass basically ice over as the doors swung open. Emily would notice it was clear outside.

Through the doors would walk a Male and a Female in similar shiny armor. They looked around the cafeteria with disdain.

"What is taking the beast so long with these worms I wonder?"

Spoke the female cutting through whatever silence there was. However the panic would set in and people would begin to run or trample each other to get to the choke points of the exits.

[Melanie Ross]

I would look up at Krane suggested we run.

"Run from wha-"

The doors burst open and two people walked in. They both wore armor. This was not going to be good. The students started freaking out and everything iced over. That would for sure trip people and add to the hysteria. Crap. I looked back at Krane for a moment. His armor was similar too. Something was up.

"I can't leave the students. I need to... You said we'd better run and you aren't one to run from a fight. What's going on?"

I stood and grabbed my satchel, throwing it over my shoulder i'd hit his arm if he didn't answer.

"I need answers. Now."

[Stevie-Rae]

Things probably weren't going to be solved now. The room iced and the students freaked. Two people walked through the doors wearing armor that almost matched. Shit. This would either be really bad or really awesome. I made my way to Violet through the throngs of scared students.

"We need a plan."

My eyes would move to the two armored trespassers. I hoped awesome was the case. My eyes searched the area for her Captain. As much as i didn't want to admit it, we would need all of us together if it came down to a fight.
