The dorm lawn- Wednesday night at 2 am

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

At 2 am exactly, a loud buzzing sound rang through the dorms. An not just any buzzing. A loud, obnoxious "BZZZT!" followed by a two-second pause, followed by another "BZZZT!", followed by another two-second pause, followed by a... You get the idea. And the really bad part was the way it tended to feel like it was inside your head when it "BZZZT"ed as you were passing by in the halls.

So due to the "BZZZT"ing and fire safety regulations, the students had to drag their tired, cranky selves out of bed (or whatever), make their way down the halls and stairwells, and file out onto the dorm lawn in the chilly, damp weather, and did we mention it was 2 am?

The Fandom fire department was on hand, but they'd probably make everyone wait for a while just because they were cranky, too.


[And here is your fire drill post! See here for details.

How did it take us three years to do this, game? How?]

"She knows it. She's impossibly spoiled, and that's mostly my fault."

That particular confession earned Ino a surprised Look. "One of your exes? You still hoping he'll come back?" Dōjima asked, reaching out to scratch Alea's ears. "Even with mister Kitsune-kun in the picture now?"

Yes, she knew Ichigo's name. She was just never going to use it. Ever.

[intraspective]

That got a faint half smile.

"How do you compare the heat of summer, to a lazy afternoon in front of a fireplace? They're both nice, just in different ways. I'm dating Ichigo now, and I'm happy with that. Kabuto and I wouldn't work anyway now, I know that, but I miss him." She shook her head. "It'd be better, I think, if I'd gotten to say goodbye, when he graduated."

"He was here," she said, waving her hand to indicate Fandom. "And telling me he'd stay for the summer--and then he literally disappeared into thin air. I found his room still half packed, I've got most of it in mine now, clothing and books and his computer and... Kusanagi. I don't think he meant to go then, so... just nothing."

"Kinda like the people that don't mean to come to Fandom in the first place?" Dōjima guessed. "He might have meant to step out into the hall, and ended up stepping into a different world or something? That's just kinda creepy."

"It's cool that you're still holding his stuff for him, though. Because if he disappeared that way, maybe he'll just pop back."

[intraspective]

"His computer was up and running," she admitted. "So I really don't think he'd been planning on going for long, you know?"

Ino sighed. "I got a letter from him, late August? Saying he hadn't planned it, and would be back soon but..."

It was February.

"Boys," Dōjima said disgustedly. "I swear, their sense of time runs on an entirely different planet sometimes."

[intraspective]

"I know, right? And, at the very least? I know he's able to send a letter--he can summon snakes, and well, they don't seem to much care which world their destination is on. So it's not like he's totally out of reach!"

"If you feed a note to the snake, think he'll get it?" Dōjima asked wryly. "'Write back and let me know if you're alive, or I'll let Dōjima put rhinestones on all your things'?"

[intraspective]

"Kusanagi would kill me. Or try to, anyway." Ino blurted a laugh. "I think the rhinestones would make it difficult for me, at times."

Considering she slept in his shirts every now and then.
