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.

"I agree." Making sure no one suffers for this is the best they can possibly do. With any luck, most people who are caught up in this won't be dragged into something bigger... but Naoto's not sure she believes it even as it comes to mind. "Do you have anything with you that might help?" Naoto has her gun, but she knows Yamagishi is more support oriented...

Without her Evoker, Fuuka was defenseless. There wasn’t a lot she could do when the Dark Hour made all technology useless. However, there was probably at least one thing she could do. “I suppose I could try and gather as much people as I could!” Although, she didn’t have much fighting experience but it was better than nothing at least! “Or perhaps maybe I could try and see if anyone in the police hasn’t turned into a coffin yet!”

Neither of them are terribly good options when all forms of defense were taken from them, but Naoto knows she wouldn't want to be sidelined right now. "I'm not sure the police around here know anything about the situation, and convincing them might take time we don't have in the event that any of them are aware of all this. The best bet is probably just to find as many people as we can."

Fuuka couldn't argue with that. "Right. Then where shall we meet up until that time? Or perhaps if we can put them in the library, that might be the safest place against the shadows." Or so she hoped.

"If not then...I'll try my best to defend them as much as I can!" Even then she wasn't sure if Juno was capable of fighting.

"I would be a little worried about being cornered, but maybe if there are enough people..." Naoto admittedly doesn't know as much about how shadows act during the dark hour, so if Yamagishi thinks it would work then Naoto will take her word for it. "If you think that would be acceptable, then we'll do that."

"The only problem is that they might try and enter through the building. Although, we need to be careful and don't go anywhere near the entrances." She said before attempting to move forward and going straight back to the library to prepare. "I know a lot of my friends have attempted to do this before but it is the safest place we can find at the moment."

Naoto nods. "Alright. I'll start rounding people up. Please be careful, Yamagishi-san." Really, Naoto should probably take her own advice, but oh well. "I will see you there."

"Please be safe!" She said before running back toward the library to see if there was anyone else in need. Although, as she looked back at Naoto, she couldn't help but wonder if she'll be okay. While she should be focusing more about herself, she wondered if everything was going to be okay...
