a. A day in the life

Welcome to yet another day at Vanderhall University. The sun is up, the trees are green, and it’s a little cold but not all that bad. Go to class, or don’t! It’s your day, to do as you want on this perfectly normal college campus that has nothing wrong with it. Clearly.

b. When the clock strikes twelve...

It’s college. Almost no one is in bed by 10, 11, or even midnight. Currently it’s 11:59, and many students (and non-students) are out and about. Some are at the library, working on late night projects or cramming for a test (or several). Some are probably a little, or more than a little, drunk, wandering around with friends or alone. A few might be in their dorms, watching Netflix or just trolling the internet.

But then the clock strikes midnight...

...and suddenly, everything changes.

That computer you were working on, or that phone midtext? Shuts off. It looks like it’s died, but looking around... no technology around is working. Worse, any people you were talking to, or who were even nearby, are now replaced by coffins according to their height. The moon hangs pale and large in the sky, and the entire world is cast in an eerie green light.

Anyone who’s left awake will have maybe a few minutes to take in their surroundings and panic as a result before something else appears. No matter where they are, they will attract creatures like nothing they will have seen before. Even though they’re completely foreign, anyone with a work sense of self-preservation will have their instincts screaming one thing at them.

Run.

At some point, Naoto might have been concerned about her reputation, especially within the police apartment, but... well, when you are being sought out as the detective to look in to such matters, that stops looking like less of an issue. "To me, it doesn't. But it's far-fetched while it's happening; it might not do you any good."

"It won't be a problem if I don't survive the night." And that sounds as much like a convincing argument to him as anything else.

"You're going to survive the night." Naoto will make sure of it.

"Empty threats." Because he doesn't know, not any more than Alec does. If he did, Naoto wouldn't be so worried about protecting Alec.

"It seems pretty dangerous out here."

"It is. Which is why you're staying with me." Naoto has no doubts what would happen if Alec wandered off on his own... likely try to find a Shadow on purpose. He might be a pain, but Naoto won't let any more people fall to that.

There's a heavy sigh, but he's not going to explicitly argue this any longer. After all, it's almost..intriguing in a way, and if he remembers it then there will be something new to learn about.

Not explicitly arguing Naoto will accept. She gestures for him to keep following her as they head out through campus, passing more than a few of those coffins as they go.
