Outside the dorms- fire drill o'clock Thursday morning

[imawizard]

You know, it'd been a while since the students had been roused from their beds to go stand outside in the middle of the night while the building around them screamed at them. Tonight was a good night to fix that.

So at exactly 3:00 am, the fire alarms in the dorms began going off, leaving you all to do just that.

You're safe now. You're welcome.


[Open! Go get your cranky on.]

It had taken Alara several moments to wake up when the alarms started blaring, being unfamiliar with fire alarms as they didn’t have them on Xelaya and eventually dragged herself out of bed and to the front lawns, wearing her egg themed
pyjamas from the other week as she had decided that she had quite liked them.

“Do they always make so much noise?” she wondered out loud, to no one in particular as she waited.

[imawizard]

You know what they didn't do at Harry's last school?

These.

So here he was, in at-shirt and plaid pajama pants, standing around and waiting for someone to make it stop. At least he'd put on shoes?

"I'm going to murder someone," Five declared in his old man pajamas.

At least Alexis looked cute while yelling, "This is against the Geneva convention!" outdoors at 3 am.

Her hair looked fab still, don't worry.

Belle had kept her pajamas from last weekend. They were cute! So she was owl and book-clad as she made her way outside, a bit bewildered at what was actually happening here.

"It's the middle of the night," she protested to nobody in particular.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"I suppose you think that will help?" Belle was rolling her eyes a lot in your direction, Five.

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy," Tahani wailed from her spot on the ground where she'd brought a pillow to lounge on and not ruin her adorable pajamas.

[apocalypsehow]

"It would certainly improve my mood." Shocking no one.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Murder is not the answer to every problem," Belle snapped.

Although if you knew who was responsible, Five, she could probably look the other way at a little light torture. It was the middle of the night, after all.

[imawizard]

"Has this happened before?" Harry wondered, wandering over, feeling like she would know maybe.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Not that I've experienced," Belle said, glaring a bit at the dorms. What a betrayal!

"Oh, imagine if it had done this in the winter when I first arrived!"

[apocalypsehow]

"Sometimes it's the cause, yes." Five, now was not the time.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Did you kill someone to cause this?" Belle asked, suspicious now.

That was the sort of thing Five would do.

[imawizard]

"I'm sure they wouldn't do that."

Harry.

This island hates all of you.

[apocalypsehow]

"No."

Wait, he needed to think hard on it now.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

They were absolutely doomed to some sort of terrible winter fire drill where they all froze in inappropriate attire now.

"I didn't think they'd do this!"

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Are you positive?" Would a less sleep-deprived Belle be following this line of questioning? Hard to say.

The island’s tiny fire engine came roaring up, and Travis hopped out, followed by a vested and very excited pit bull puppy.

“Hey kids. What’s the situation?”

[lovethatjourney]

"An alarm is going off," Alexis said helpfully. "Do you really need a siren? This island is like two feet wide."

[imawizard]

"Fine, be right about that," Harry said, good-naturedly as one could manage at 3 am. "Maybe it won't go on that long."

As Astrid moved back away from both the buildings and the gathering crowd, she couldn't help wondering if she, in all her paleness, with her blonde hair and long white nightgown, resembled a ghost trying to slip away unobserved into the night.

She definitely hoped this was just a drill. She didn't even want to think about the years of artwork stuffed into her room that would do an awful lot to fuel the flames of any fire that might have sparked up.

She was overdue for a tragedy, though, really...

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"I hope not," Belle said, looking longingly in what she thought was the direction of her room and her bed. "This is not an hour I'm used to seeing awake."

[imawizard]

"It should be illegal," Harry agreed.

Why was it not, really.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"It should!" What a good idea, Harry. "Can we make that happen?"

[craic_killer]

Clare was in her adorable unicorn onesie, but she wasn't keen on letting everyone see it!

"What is this?" she asked, rubbing her eyes. "Are we being invaded?"
