The Great Escape

[newhire]

[With Vivienne's insistence, they all escape into the gymnasium through the hole in the wall. They don't have much time to regroup, but she's doing a quick head count before anything else happens. And then--]

Orga push it now.

[Maybe it's the tense quality to her voice, but even though James must be tied up right now she sounds anxious.

Your ordeal is not over just yet.]

Comments

[unhalting]

[He just looks over at Vivienne and nods, pulling a phone out of the duffel bag. If it looks familiar, it's because it's Han's, and Orga quickly navigates the touchscreen to reach a button.

And he taps.]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Rantaro's staring at Orga, but since he's on their side he can forgive the previous theft.]

[unhalting]

[Oooh yeah, he knows what this looks like.]

Oswald gave it to me.

COUNTDOWN

[lockdownmods]

[After the button is tapped a small ding comes from the phone-- along with a counter.

Ten minutes.

With everything that's going on, that's not a lot of time. On top of that, Vivienne appears to be calling someone.]

Prier! Violet! Did you get everything?

[A tiny girl and her much older accomplice are on the screen.]

Yeah, yeah, we went through everyone's rooms. We dropped the bags out the window in the back. You can get them on your way out. Lucian and Sola are already on their way there now with the stuff from your room and office. We're going to--

[Suddenly, the screen fizzles for a second and then comes back on.]

What the he-- [The taller girl looks back out the window of what appears to be the robotics laboratory and suddenly starts yelling.]

Get the fuck out of here now!!

[It's hard to see what happens. There's a crashing noise and a bright explosion of light just a second before the screen goes completely dead. Her face goes pale and her hands shake--

Well it's not just her. The whole building shakes in the wake of what sounds like an incredible explosion. She wants to scream, cry-- but. She made a promise. She has to get everyone out. And they don't have much time.]

Come on, we're leaving. Now!

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Okay!

[THIS IS FINE. He jumps at the explosion, but turns to Vivi regardless.]

Lead the way!

[newhire]

The van is out back! We're going to pick up your personal belongings on the way. Hopefully we'll run into the others too--

[But she doesn't sound entirely hopeful. But she shakes it off and pushes forward.

...it won't be simple though. The outside exit from the gym has caved in.]

...dammit. We'll have to find another way.

[The building continues to shake. The longer they're in there the worse it's gonna be.]

We're going to take the emergency exit behind the stairs, to the back of the building!

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Oh god...

Rantaro only has two hands. One's holding a notebook and the other's dragging Osomatsu around. He doesn't have enough time to check on Monika, Poe, Tsukasa, or... Really anyone else.

He's forced to drag him along to safety. Please... Let everyone be safe...]

[ososoi]

[ look at this bastard flailing ]

OI! RANTARO-KUN! YOU CAN LET GO OF ME NOW!

Re: COUNTDOWN

[myliteratureclub]

[oh fuck this. Monika is outtie, chasing after the others the best she can.]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Come along now!

[His adoptive daughter is living if he has anything to say about it.]

GETAWAY

[childrenofinvention]

[When you all finally make it to the dorm building, a large school van is waiting for you. It's painted dark blue with silver accents so it blends in and sticks out all at once.

From the driver's seat, a familiar young man waves.]

HURRY UP AND GET IN we've got miles to burn.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Rantaro didn't really get to know the guy, but he's assuming this is Lucian.

He doesn't say anything but nod and get in. He'll help everyone else up into the car as fast as he can.]

[ososoi]

[ Osomatsu rushes over before tripping on the step to the van and gracelessly falling into it. ]

[ He's in, at least! And nothing's broken! ]

[childrenofinvention]

Smooth intro. Nice.

[He likes this guy already.]

[reshoot]

[Max trails a bit behind the rest but eventually stumbles into the van. Once she's in, she won't be able to take her eyes off of the building until it eventually starts moving into the distance. Unreal. All of this.]

[childrenofinvention]

Welcome to the freedom express.

[Lucian no.]

Y' holdin' up okay?

[newhire]

[There are already a bunch of bags in here, but soon everyone's belongings get added in too. Vivienne's here, but she's waiting for everyone else as usual before she gets in.]

Did you find a suitable location, Lucian?

[childrenofinvention]

Suuuuure did. You're gonna love it. Great vacation spot. Plenty of space.

[He's smirking as usual, but even he looks like he's using comedy to grin through what no doubt Sola has already told him.]

...you gonna be okay for real though? You're not going to do anything stupid, right?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[Poe hands Karl off to Monika once he reaches the van. She's getting helped in first.]

Stay inside with Karl. I- I need to make sure the others are safe.

[myliteratureclub]

Ah-!!

[She clumsily takes the creature.]

You better hurry back!!

[swordsinternally]

[ And Tsukasa's got some bags himself, let's get the gateway car and toss those bags in before finally taking a seat and taking out a plush friend and keeping it on his lap.


MONA IS FREE FROM HIS BACKBACK HELL...... even if it's just a plush friend. ]

[unhalting]

[With some effort, he manages to get to the van and... well, it's probably not the most elegant way of dropping Terra off, but he kind of just manages to toss the man onto one of the seats, not really bothering with a seatbelt or anything. Sorry dude. After one last glance at Terra to make sure he's not injured or suddenly going to Xehanort again, he turns to the rest of the van.]

Everyone make it?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

They did!

[He's planning on going in the van last. He needs to make sure everyone else is safe. But he does climb in once everyone else is in.]

[buriedearth]

[ He's alright for now, though he seems to be sort of...stirring now.

In a vague manner which suggests he is very much in the process of waking up but give him some time. ]

[ososoi]

Hrrrph!

[ oso get off the van floor ]
