Evil Dead

N"By his evil dead grandpa?!"

L"...There are still some who don't know about this. Has anyone told Sab or Aroma? Or Gabe?"
=========================
E"...I think that the others should be done by now. Maybe we should rejoin them?"

Eve:<I texted Astarte, Cameron and Eduj. I don't have the others' numbers.>

*She looks at Nero*

<Sure, why not?>
===
*Cameron checks his phone*

<Looks like the gang got something.>

Azuma: "Does anyone even know if they're still....you know."

===================================

Taiyo: "I guess."

Eduj nodded, also looking at his phone. Astarte checked her own and dropped it almost immediately, disappointed that it wasn't a reply from Noctis. Eduj replied, Where/when.
"A plane would be a risk, but we need to decide whether it is more or less risky than being here," Eduj went on after sending.

N"Because it's fucking retarded."

*And so Euryale puts an arm around Taiyo & leads them out to this madhouse.*

L"No, we don't know. We were all too busy with our own crises, I guess. We should really check up on them."

N"They can't be in that much danger, can they? I mean, he said he was getting rid of the smart people."

*Nero points to the laptop.*

Mimiru follows them out.

Azuma: "Sounded to me like it was targetting anyone it didn't like."

*Eve texts back*

ASAP. We're in Euryale's room.
===
Cameron:<Being in an enclosed space where we can't escape doesn't sound appealing right now. On a unrelated note, it killed Tirea's parents.>

Eduj checked the message. Astarte ran a hand through her hair and sunk her shoulders even more, "It took her parents away? Seriously, they weren't even on the fucking bus... But I guess if Noct... If..."
"Apparently we need to meet with the others now at Euryale's dorm room," Eduj announced.

E"That's true. Ira serves the shadow, but he also has his own agenda. We can't trust him to stick to the same patterns."

N"But does anyone know how to contact those 2?"

L"We don't...oh, but Senthose does!"

*She starts dialing.*

Eve:<Looks like most of the others are coming.>

*As she says this, she gets a text from Cameron*

Coming and bringing Tirea, Astarte, and Eduj.
===
*Cameron slips his phone back in his pocket*

<She did kinda piss off the shadow. Guess it wanted revenge.>

Azuma: "How many others have been involved?"

Astarte stood up and went to her bedroom, mumbling about slipping something on. Eduj looked to Cameron, "So, what to you think she should tell her father? Honestly admit that something supernatural is happening? Stalkers? Some other lie entirely?"

L"I don't know, but from what we've heard today, we really have to consider that we might just be the latest in a long line of victims."

*Her phone rings once.*

S"Are you alright?"

L"Uh, yes, but why do you ask?"

S"I can't get an answer from anybody else, & I saw that something happened at Noctis's room."

*She grabs the phone with a 2-handed death grip.*

L"You're not in the halls alone, are you!?"

S"Yes."

L"Well, get out! There are monsters out there!"

Azuma: "So we're not the first then. That's unsettling."

*Cameron shrugs*

<I don't know, I guess it would be whatever we could tell him to get him to realize the danger.>
===
Eve:<Are Noctis and company still...you know?>

Eduj nodded. Astarte soon came back out of her room dressed in jeans and a t-shirt with a blue sweater. She opened the front door and stepped out, "Cameron, could you drive us?"

E"The possibility had crossed my mind, before. What would go to the trouble of setting all of this up just for a bunch of college kids?"

L"I'm not asking him something we already know the answer to."

S"What?"

L"Nevermind. Listen, there's something you need to see. Come to Euryale's room. It's--"

*There's some kind of pounding, scraping noise, then the call abruptly goes to the busy signal.*

L"Hello? Hello!? Senthose!"

*Cameron nods, and heads out to the car*
===
Eve:<He didn't give any indication of his location, did he?>

Astarte sat in the passenger side front seat and Eduj took his place in the back.

L"In the halls, near my room."

E"You're not thinking of going out there, are you?"

L"Might as well. It's not safe in this building. Let's just take everything, round everyone up, & go somewhere--anywhere else."

Eve:<A hotel potentially?>
===
*So they drive to the dorms*

Azuma: "Wouldn't that essentially put us in the same situation?"

Astarte spent the entire drive trying to call Noctis.

L"Doesn't matter. Anywhere but here."

*Already having their backpacks on, the group opens the door to see that the lights are back on.*
========================================
*They eventually arrive at a road next to a small forest, beyond which they can faintly see the outline of the dorm building, with some of the lights on. There are spaces for parallel parking.*

*Eve hurries and puts everything in her backpack, including the laptop with the CD. She then texts Cameron*

How far? We're ready to leave.
===
*I'm going to just assume they picked up Tirea on the way. Anyway, Cameron parallel parks then responds to Eve's text*

Here. Are you coming down?
