22nd day start
[ there aren't any morning announcements; the students are mostly rounded up inside the school building while the remaining staff and more responsible kids deal with the aftermath of the attack the previous night.
a help message had been sent out to the administration staff as the dragon had started to rip into the building, but the only response that came was from ms. hinx, urging that they were on their way back immediately, but with no estimated time of arrival or any further questions or advice. the students are still on their own for day 22.
thanks to gossip and information spreading across teenagers like wildfire, the consensus is now that the dragon was chasing prey that came out of the forested area, past the sports fields and into the dorms, where the dragon proceeded to destroy the southmost wing up along the face to the northern wing. why the prey had entered the dorm was still a mystery; and one that would probably be worth it to solve. because it is very odd that a fairy would venture that far out of the forests and risk its life just to get to the dorms, when there were a lot of other places to hide on the way there. ]
{ ooc: please continue tagging on the dragon post as long as you all would like! this week might be good for aftermath-type things; make sure if you haven't figured out an ending to a thread, that you either work something out oocly so that you can keep playing or refrain from making any concrete statements otherwise.
this is where it'll be beneficial to focus on characters talking about the previous night to figure out what happened; if you saw the fairy and the dragon, you can talk about those; if your character was wounded, you can look for someone to help them; if your character would take charge of the situation, they can try to start organizing people (where is everyone going to sleep? can they retrieve their belongings?).
the mod surprise is still yet to be uncovered, but you may handwave students having heard/seen the oni in general. }
