Thread: Optic, Drake & anyone at the school Who: Aubrey Ryan, Kasey Gibson, and anyone else at the school -- you don't HAVE to tag this, but this is a school-wide event that everyone who's at the school tonight will experience whether or not you tag it----so it's journal entry fodder, too When: 3 AM, Sunday morning, April 20, 2008 Where: Backyard of Xavier's School What: FIRE ALARM. And no, kittens, it's not a drill!

Almost everyone was asleep. It was a good time for sleeping, as it was three a.m.----sure, there were a few people still awake. The insomniacs, the lovers, the partiers, so despite quiet hours there were still people awake... but regardless of anyone's state of slumber, they were all about to be woken up. By the fire alarm. Protocol was, an immediate evacuation of the school was necessary, everyone out in the backyard, and faculty members would handle it if it was something that didn't require the assistance of a fire department. Someone like Arla could easily put out a fire with her hydrokinesis----oh, and... anyone else could, too, with a nice fire extinguisher. And it seemed like tonight, they'd need it.
The fire alarm at the school was violently loud, every unit with flashing lights for people like Aubrey... then again, it was definitely a problem if Aubrey was asleep in his room with the door closed, wasn't it? He wouldn't be informed and he'd probably die in a fire. Or something.
Luckily----or, rather, very very unluckily for Aubrey, he was one of those people who was awake at three in the morning, along with his girlfriend. In fact... well, no, Aubrey wasn't about to admit to knowing the cause of the fire, which was localized in his bedroom. He and Kasey were two of the last people out of the building, having tried their best to put the fire out with the nearest extinguisher----Ororo was inside checking it out, but it looked like things were under control now, after some minor damage to Aubrey's room.
Because they were trying to deal with the fire, Aubrey and Kasey were two of the last people to evacuate, shuffling outside onto the lawn with an audience of the rest of the school----Kasey in her bra and underwear and Aubrey naked but wrapped in a bedsheet.
