001: action;

[flaminigo]

option a;
[Not being in-tune with modern technology at all, Inigo doesn't get the heads up about the incoming shadow invasion. He only realizes it once people are already starting to evacuate the building, as he hears shouts from outside and strange noises against the outside walls. Of course, when he finally glances out his window, he gets a glimpse of some shadows already beginning to scale the buildings, which is, of course, his cue to get the hell out of there.

Fortunately he came across a shinai in the kendo room the day of or the day after his arrival, so he at least has something to defend himself with that's... not Haruhi saving his balls. And so, without taking anything else, he grabs the weapon and heads on out.]

Ah... I truly never imagined an afterlife so cruel and dangerous as this one.

[He sighs, still drained and in disbelief over the fact that he is in the afterlife to begin with. And as he runs down the hallway and passes the staircase, a more important thought occurs to him. He immediately goes up them and begins his search.

If any characters are still in their rooms -- whether in the boys' or girls' building -- they're going to be receiving a loud and rushed knock on their door.]

Is anyone still in here?!

option b;
[Later on that evening, once Inigo is satisfied with his evacuation procedure, he can be found wandering around the forest, searching for firewood, food, etc. The works.

Feel free to give him a poke, though he may be a little on edge from all the events.]

Lady..? [ Yuri looks a little perplexed at the entire statement as she echoes the last word in a mumble. A rescue? His lady? What? ]

What are you supposed to be rescuing me from?

[ She's not budging yet. ]

[flaminigo]

[What, has this girl not noticed the shadows scaling the walls of the dorm yet either?]

Why the shadows, of course. Or whatever you all refer to them as. If you look out your window, you'll see that they're all heading this way.

[Hence the need to get the heckie outta there.]

[tenminutes]

The shadows.

[ Yuri stares at him for a moment, glancing back at her window, over which the curtains are closed.

Maybe he was a crazy person if he was saying weird things like that. ]

I'm tired, but if you need help give me about ten minutes to get dressed.

[flaminigo]

[Ten minutes... Why would it take ten whole minutes just to get dressed?! Gah... Well, if that's what she needs.]

I'll just wait out here in the mean time and make sure none of the shadows come through. But, ah-- do try and make it less than ten minutes, will you? The quicker we can make our escape, the better. And if any come to your window, just let me know!

[Because even if he is a big flirt, he does have his boundaries, and staying in a girl's room while she's changing is beyond them......]

[tenminutes]

[ Yuri closes the door and there's the distinctive sound of someone getting back into bed.. ]

[flaminigo]

[Did she just--

She did, didn't she? That is most certainly bed shuffling and not clothing shuffling and--]

Gods, this is not an appropriate time for sleeping, you know! What happened to getting dressed?!

[He's starting to get the feeling that she's one of those NPC'd characters Haruhi had told him about... In which case, how the hell is he supposed to handle this?!]

[tenminutes]

I can't take you to the school counselor right now, it's bed time! It'd be breaking the rules to be out this late and there's probably no one in the office!

[ Objections from the muffling of a pillow.. ]

[flaminigo]

[This is deeefinitely one of the cases of an NPC'd human. But if that's the case, convincing her to leave the area is practically impossible... Gah.]

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're going to have to break those rules!

[Cue a few loud thumps and grunts against her bedroom door before Inigo finally breaks in. Goodness though, these doors are way more reinforced than the ones he's used to... that kind of hurt... But anyway! He takes a step inside.]

If you must give some sort of excuse, you could tell them a dashing young man asked you out on a date. A man so handsome that you couldn't possibly turn down his proposal! Okay? Okay. Now up you go!

[Is he picking her up out of bed to carry her? He's picking her up out of bed to carry her. He feels a little bad for it, but it's really the only thing he can do right now, and he'd rather not waste anymore time.]

[tenminutes]

[ Yuri jumps in her bed when the door gets busted open, but before she has a chance to realize that he's trying to pick her up, she's over his shoulder and smacking his back with an open hand. ]

Put me down!

[flaminigo]

A-aaagh! Please stop hitting me like that! I promise I'll put you down as soon as we get downstairs. But for now, I can't do that just yet.

[Otherwise she'd continue insisting on staying up here... He'll try bearing with her slapping as he glances around briefly in search for her cell phone. Those are important here, right?]

--Ah, there it is. [And he'll pick it up before starting to head out of her room.]

[tenminutes]

[ With the mighty force of both her hands, she swings them both up at once, as far as she can, and double-smacks him on the butt THAT IS WHAT YOU GET SIR!!

But at least she stops after that. ]

Kidnapping is illegal, you know!

[flaminigo]

[He stiffens and yelps again when she smacks the booty, because oh goodness that actually hurt... This girl is way stronger than she looks. But at least she finally stopped.]

It is, and it's a rather horrible thing, but that's not what I'm doing at all! As I said, I'll let you go as soon as we escape from the building. I'd offer having some tea with one another once we're safe, but unfortunately I'm going to have to come back in here to finish evacuating everyone else first.

[Tragedy, isn't it...]

[tenminutes]

I prefer coffee from the vending machines anyway. If you're going to kidnap me, at least stop by a vending machine to get one.

[ If he's just going to put her outside, then whatever. That's fine. ]

[flaminigo]

I'd love to, but we'll have to save that little date for another time, milady. It will make up for me having to intrude on you like this and disrupt your sleep.

[Not like it's his fault, since it's totally Fantoche's, but whatever. If she's really one of these NPC people, she wouldn't believe him anyway!

Aaand now he exits the room and makes his way down the hallway and toward the staircase.]

[tenminutes]

I'm not going on a date with a kidnapper.

[ Yuri is definitely going to try to pull up his shirt and pinch his back now. At least she hasn't tried kicking him. ]

[flaminigo]

I promise I'm not kidnapp-- [...] --W-what are you--?!

[At first his face actually reddens as he feels his shirt being pulled up, because oh my god what is she doing. ...But then he feels the pinch and once again stiffens. He shouldn't have been surprised at this point, really.]

W-would you please stop insisting on hurting me?! I assure you, I have no ulterior motives at all! And doing this near a staircase is rather dangerous, you know.

[tenminutes]

You're kidnapping a girl in the middle of the night, you don't need ulterior motives for that to be bad.

[ And she pinches him again, a little harder. ]

[flaminigo]

S-stop thaaaaaaat! You're going to make us--!!

[...Fall? Fall. Because when she pinches him harder, he begins losing her grip on her and tries adjusting it, but... it's too late! He was at the foot of the staircase and is now tumbling down it.]

[tenminutes]

AH!

[ Yuri screams too, but quite serendipitously because of the position that he was holding her.. well, she ends up sitting on his buttox like a rather humorous cushion. She still hit her head on the way down though, so she's holding her head with one hand, not moving from that spot. ]

Uhg...

[flaminigo]

[And then there's Inigo, laying face-down on the ground and groaning because good gods did that hurt or what. His whole body is kind of aching, and the fact that Yuri's sitting on his ass does not help at all. He's glad she at least landed with a cushion after hitting her head and all though, but... what a trainwreck.]

G-gaaah...

[tenminutes]

[ After a couple of moments, she seems to recover and stands up, going to try to get back up the stairs. ]

Escape opportunity.

[ She doesn't sound as enthusiastic as she had before though. Dizzy and all.. ]

[flaminigo]

[He's still recovering himself hence not getting up quite yet, but he does at least struggle to clumsily reach for her ankle in an attempt to stop her from getting away from him. They've already gotten so far!! They're so close!! He needs to go save other people already!!]

Not so fast...!

[tenminutes]

[ Amazing, she just goes face-forward to the floor when he does that. ]

Ow..!!

[flaminigo]

[...That wasn't entirely what he had planned, and now he feels bad for it. Oops. So he'll stagger up onto his feet and try offering her a hand.]

I-I'm so sorry! Doing this in front of a staircase is a horrible idea though, see? Can we call this a truce, please? As soon as we get outside, you can come back inside, if you truly insist on it.

[Just desperate to get her the hell out of here!! And hopefully someone outside can take her off his hands and keep her away from the dorms...]

[tenminutes]

So if I go outside with you, then I can come back in?

[ That sounded suspicious at best. ]
