024 // Action // EVACUATION // mingle??

[principal_mouse]

[Theres a noise, something organic and raw. The ground shakes a bit and you will be jolted out of your sleep. Get to a window and you'll see a flicker, the fence which has stood strong and proud against the black mist... the strangelings.... it's flickering.

It's not gonna hold up long.

[earth_bonds]

[His shoulders and back are aching, he's confused and mentally unsound, voices are continually speaking in his mind... all his fears....

He shakes it from his mind and instead looks around in the chaos. He needs to find his brother so they're not separated again, and to say goodbye to Aqua before-

His own track of thought is cut off by searing pains in his back. Damn...it... Not now, of all times!]

[turntodarkness]

[It takes little time, meanwhile, for Xehanort to find his brother. Fingers seek out a familiar hand, and he's not letting go for anything. There is silence, only broken by Xehanort's coughing. But he is here, and he's not letting his brother remain alone.]

[earth_bonds]

[There's a look on his face that is reminiscent of gratitude behind all that pain, and a faint smile. Terra takes that hand, squeezing it gently.]

You alright, Brother?

[turntodarkness]

[He returns the gentle squeeze, then coughs a little into his fist.]

I am as well as one can be with their lungs burning.

[letdownmyhair]

[Rapunzel is so confused, clutching her few precious belongings to her chest, Pascal on her shoulder and looking around warily. She doesn't quite know where they're going, but she's following everyone anyway... But she wants to know where Flynn and her mother and all her friends are.]

[alwaysaxefirst]

[Astrid is so lost as to what is happening... an ungodly noise in the air, people everywhere- a familiar face! Rushing over she grabs the girls arm.]

You- you're, ah- Rapunzel! Do you know what's going on?

[letdownmyhair]

Ah-- A-Astrid, right??

[She grips her belongings more tightly] I... don't. And everything is going so crazy...

[alwaysaxefirst]

[Somewhere, amongst the panic and fear, that voice tugs at Astrid's heartstrings. This girl hasn't grown up surrounding by dragons, she hasn't been made to face possible death as training. She's probably twenty times as terrified as Astrid is, and for some reason, that hits hard.]

Yeah, I'm Astrid. Just calm down, okay? It'll all be fine, we're just... being taken somewhere safe. Is there anyone you need to say good- to speak with?

[codejournalname]

Go on, go on...Down there--don't push--just go, quickly! Girls, there, boys--that way--You'll be safe--don't panic.

[he's ushering as well he can, trying to keep his voice level--for the sake of the students; He's keeping his eyes open though, making doubly sure certain students get down there Rapunzel, Jack, Lilo--

And for his companions. He's almost tempted to make them go down there himself.]

OKAY. OKAY. MENTALLY PREPPING FOR LILO. JUST..GIVE ME A MINUTE, KAY?

[honor2usall]

Sir.

[here comes Mulan, slightly confused and very frumpled from lack of sleep. She bows slightly before speaking]

What's going on? What are the alarms for?

FFFF LILO~

[codejournalname]

[he turns--glad she's not lost in the hysteria, even]

...Something unavoidable. Ms. Fa--you need to get to the safe area, immediately.

POOR BB SHE'S GONNA BE SO UPSET.

[honor2usall]

[She looks to the underground areas everyone is being sheltered to and frowns slightly.]

If it's alright with you, may I search for someone first? I'll be quick, I promise.

[cowboy_newsie]

[He considers ignoring the orders for all of thirty seconds before deciding that's a stupid idea. Fleeing, then, going where teachers point, keeping his eyes open for the select few he's come to care about here.]

[codejournalname]

[he catches Jack's arm as he goes by] There you are--and here I thought you might have done something idiotic...

[cowboy_newsie]

[He jerks in surprise, initially twisting to fight the grip-- and then he relaxes when he realizes who it is.]

Embarrassin', ain't it? I'm gonna have to do twice the amount when we get outta here.

[He flashes a grin, though it's a bit weak, and digs into his bag.]

Here. Your-- your stuff, here.

[codejournalname]

[this pulls a smile from the alien] I like how you say 'when'.

[he shakes his head, putting his hand on his to stop him] Keep it--hopefully you won't have to use it.

OKAY. OKAYOKAYOKAY. I'M READY.

[iwannalobster]

[Here's Lilo. Very lost. Clucthing on to her bag and photo album and looking around wide eyed. People are running all around her and she's so confused and she needs HELP.

She's trying to find her important people but failing.]

FFFFFFFFF

[codejournalname]

[he spots her tiny black-clad head--and hurries over, waving]

Lilo--!

Lilo!

[iwannalobster]

[She turns to see Megs]

Megamind! What's going on?

[codejournalname]

[he drops down to look at her, half shielding from the masses of people]

We're getting you lot into a safe place, Lilo. Are you all right?
