video; backdated to valentine's day

[tenminutes]

[ Have a brightly waving Yuri right now, looking too happy. ]

Hello on Valentine's Day everyone! As you can see, apparently the entirely school's gone completely insane!

[ Okay yeah no she can't keep that up with the stupid banging on the door in the background. It's obvious she's in her dorm room right now. There's another chair in front of the door, blocking it. Sorry about the inconvenience, Sonia. ]

Shut up already!

[ Yuri looks back to the laptop. ] Heads up, they're still pretty stupid. You can lose them for a while if you trap them in a classroom, but they'll find you eventually. Sonia, I hope you don't mind if I use your sheets to escape out the window. I don't really want to slaughter them.. [ She side-eyes the door. ] But at this point even knocking them out doesn't last more than a few minutes.

[ There's already blood on the door handle and it's unclear just whose it is, since Yuri already changed clothes. ]

We need a way to lock the doors from the outside to trap all of them. If anyone needs help, let me know where you are as soon as you can. SSS members: If you're close to the location calling for help, get to them as soon as possible. You know where the extra weapons are in HQ if you need--

[ There's a loud crack in the background as some kind of kitchen knife breaks through the wood of the door, making Yuri look back. ]

I'll be replying from my phone when I can. Stay in groups if possible.

Just what are you asking for anyway..?

[ Yuri gave him a suspicious look, but the suspicion was more out of embarrassment than anything else. Honestly, Yuri sort of had some idea that he probably.. had feelings for her. And she knew she had feelings for him. That was why all of this was so difficult.

Yuri heads into the room, looking at him teasingly. ]

Do I need to do a magazine check? [ Teasing him was much easier than actually getting the answer to that question. ]

[It's definitely lighthearted, but he laughs a little bitterly as she mentions a magazine check.] They still don't sell those here.

[Implying that he looked, of course.]

[He closes the door behind them, locking it before pulling the desk chair over and jamming it under the doorknob. Just in case.]

So uh... [He glances down at their hands briefly.] ...now what?

I should have a deck of cards somewhere if you want to play a game...

[tenminutes]

Just how often do you check?

[ Teasing him is much easier than that conversation they were having before. Without a doubt.

Yuri gives him a pointed look at that point. Given something he said earlier.. ]

You took a shower this morning right? We don't actually have to figure that out yet?

[frequent_flyer]

What kind of question is that? [He's deflecting her, but seriously, what is her fixation is on him having magazines? He wants to know.] Jeez, it's not like I check every day...

[Every other day?]

Ehh... [He awkwardly scratches his head with his free hand when she asks about showers, not looking at her directly.] I'll... shower tomorrow. [That would be a 'no'.]

[tenminutes]

[ Because lately it's easier to harass him about that then having to address why she suddenly feels a tiny bit awkward being alone in his room with him. ]

I'm not sleeping next to you if you smell like you've been running for your afterlife. Just take a shower quickly and I'll defend the door while we're separate, then we can hold hands long enough to get the NPCs to leave and switch once they're gone to stall for time.

[ It's the best plan she can come up with on short notice and embarrassment. ]
