"I sure do hope he likes yellow.."

With a wry grin, Shinobi eyed his roomate's side of the dorm room for the upteenth time, unable to hold back a faint grimace of distaste at the sheer tackiness of it all. As if the stickers weren't bad enough, but the sheets... heavens. Hopefully, Angelo wouldn't assume that this was all his doing - but then, are smiley-faces and stickers really the fixings of a Shaw attack?

Hardly.

With a faint shake of his head, he absently tugged his rather snug black shirt straight and moved towards the window, plucking the unlit cigarette that had been tucked behind his ear earlier in the day and placing it between his lips, just managing to keep himself from also retrieving his lighter. Smoking inside the school was not a habit he wanted to develop, especially when he didn't know if his roomate would take offense or...

"What in the...?"

His thoughts abruptly derailed as smoke began billowing in the uncomfortably near distance, and Shinobi could feel his neck tense as a beam of energy arced out wildly into the sky from the same direction. That wasn't good. That was vehemently not good at all.

Neither was the familiar voice suddenly speaking in his - and, he presumed, everyone else's - head. "Everyone get to
your nearest shelter area at once!"

Shinobi's first thought was, "Emma?" which was followed shortly by, "Shelter?" and finally, a very heartfelt "Bloody hell!" as another beam of energy lanced out from the trees, taking at least one down with it. With a hissed curse, the asian boy pivoted on his heel and darted out into the hallway, yanking the door closed behind himself.

A moment's thought, and he leant his arm back through the wall to blindly grope around, snatching his lighter from the small table next to the door before rushing off to find someone - anyone - who could tell him what the hell was going on.


OOC: If I need to make any tweaks - timestamp it differently, twiddle Emma's mental-dialogue to her liking, etcetera - just let me know, and it's no problem. This is me being very bored and feeling a need to write something. Crits are more than welcome. :)
