The desk Eden had gone to was perfectly organized at the beginning. By the time she was done with it, it seemed like a tornado had gone by. "Nothing...." She noticed Boris walk in but didn't pay much attention until the loud noise of something being broken made her jump. "Jesus Christ." She mumbled, before getting up and walking to where Boris was. "Anything?" She saw him with the laptop and lifted an eyebrow. "Does it work?" She walked around the desk and sat in the chair, immediately going through the drawers. "Keys!!" She grinned, looking up as she pulled them out. Eden stood up and walked out of the office, over to her backpack and hid them in there. "No more having to break in rooms." She threw the backpack over her shoulder and looked at Boris. "We can't all go our seperate ways. You saw what was outside. I think the safest thing to do would be to find a room with no windows so we can call that our sort of 'safe room'. " She didn't like the fact that she had to practically camp out in her school, with a bunch of other kids she didn't know, but she didn't have much if a choice. It was for their safety, and if needed, her survival until she got back home.

Boris grunted in reply. Putting the computer down on a desk he said, "You need to hear this." He played the memo again. As it played he went over to a window. The sky was starting to darken. He looked at the clock; it said it was only 5:30, but with all the weird crap going on he wouldn't have been surprised if it suddenly got darker at five o'clock. Grunting something about finding a place to sleep, Boris walked over to the door adjoining the nurses office and the main office. Trying the door he found it was unlocked.

One of the cabinets had the key still in the lock, a box of band-aids was on the floor. He started sifting through the cabinet; more band-aids, gauze, a few epipens. Just a bunch of medical supplies. Looking around the room, Boris saw several things that made his spirits rise. Two or three cots that were basically just low-tables with a thick pad on them, a box on the wall that said " Fire Blankets," and a pair of stainless steel crutches. "So we'll be ok treating minor wounds and injuries" he thought out-loud. Ignoring the cots and crutches for now, Boris went and opened the box. Pulling out a thick comforter-like blanket he re-rolled it and walked bak into the main office. Holding out the mat to Eden he said, "Here, there's a few more in the science labs if I remember. And if we're gonna be here a while, then there's a couple cots in there we could drag somewhere."

After Cassie lit her cigarette, Abbie turned and followed Boris and Eden. Hearing Eden's comment about a saferoom, Abbie suggested, "The restrooms have no windows." Hiding in a restroom wouldn't be pleasant though. "Do you think we still have running water?" Abbie asked curiously. If the parking lot had changed into a forest, the pipes could have changed too. Being stuck without running water would be very bad. Boris began passing out blankets and things. "Minor injuries?" Abbie thought, glancing between the others. Nobody looked hurt...was this guy expecting injuries? Why would he do that?

Eden stood in shock as she heard the memo that Boris played on the laptop. She watched as he walked to a window, but her attention was on the audio. Once it stopped playing, Eden just stood there, watching as Boris left. "The walls?" She shook her head and walked after him and stood by the door. By now, Abbie was here and she heard her comment. "Good idea!! But.... The doors don't have locks." She ran a hand through her hair, exasperated. "Hey! The locker rooms have a lock on the door, have sinks, showers and restrooms! They'll fit all of us in there too." She smiled at Abbie, thankful for reminding her. "Whether its the boys or girls locker room, I don't care. It seems like there's no adults anyways." She turned to see Boris walking over with a blanket and she grabbed it. "Thanks.. We can start getting ready for the night." Abbie's question brought her up short for a second. "Oh.. Running water... We can go and drop these off real quick and check if you wanna." She offered to Abbie, wondering the same thing. Her question about minor cuts made Eden think about the creature outside, again. Shivers went down her back and she tried to push the thought away.

Cassie grimaced in distaste as she heard some of the conversation going on. Holing up in a locker room was not her idea of a good time. She sighed and flicked away her stubbed out cigarette. Not a lot of options though, she mused.

"How many of us are there?" She asked. "Anyone do a headcount yet? And how about introductions? I certainly don't know all of you by name. Mines Cassandra but call me Cassie." She leaned against the door jam with her arms crossed under her breasts, hugging herself almost as the strange reality of their situation sank home. She gave a wavering smile.

"Well?" She asked. "Who's next?"

[Vorpe]

Eden and Abbie's comments about running water got him a little worried. If they didn't have running water then there would be no showers, no drinking water, no toilets. Being in a locker room was going to be hell. They would have to decide if they wanted to stay in the locker rooms or find another place to sleep later though. He started towards the hallway when Cassie started speaking.

"I'm Boris" he said. 'Don't know who we are, but all of us know you' he thought. "We should use the girl's locker room. Less smelly." he said, not mentioning that several of the lockers had pictures of Cassie in them and he didn't want to deal with that.

Eden began walking with both of her arms holding the rolled up blanket. She turned to Cassie when she began speaking and listened to her introduce herself. "I'm Eden. Hey don't you ride a Ducati? Those are pretty bad ass." She didn't want to seem like a creeper so she shrugged slightly, "Pretty sure everyone in school knows what each other drives." She kept walking down the hall, giving Boris a small nod after his comment and looking over, back at Cassie. "From what I'm seeing. There's only four of us. I would offer to go and look for others.... Bbbuuuutttttt... It's getting dark outside and honestly I'm not planning on roaming these halls."
