 "Sorry if I startled you," Roshan said after noticing Lawven's tail had poofed. They couldn't say for sure, but that seemed like a scared response. Their tendrils turned into a mixture of pink and blue to show their apologetic feeling's. These feelings stayed as Lawven seemed to blame Roshan for them getting separated. "I'm sorry, I--" Roshan was cut off as Lawven suddenly hugged them. This close, they were able to hear and feel the purring resonating through the bakeneko's body. She must not have been really mad if she was willing to hug Roshan. Delicately they wrapped their arms around Lawven to return the hug. It felt calming in a way Roshan couldn't describe. "Things got busy and confusing real fast. I got swept up in the crowd... I figured it would be best to stick with the adults."Taking a gulp, scared to know the answer, Roshan knew they had to ask. "Are you okay? You weren't hurt by the bad guys, right?" Though the hybrid didn't know much about what was wrong, they at least knew that being wounded by one of the... things... attacking them wasn't good. It seemed to cause a lot more pain than a normal scratch or even a bite from a mean Cockatriel.

 Msuku was being led along with the other freshlings, not quite sure what was going on and not getting any sort of decent response from the staff, aside from being told to keep quite and keep moving. She turned as there was a commotion behind her, wincing slightly as she stepped on something, quickly reaching down to pick up what turned out to be a marble. Standing up again, she only had a moment to look it over before its apparent owner came running towards her, ears folding back reflexively. The little bakeneko held out the lost marble, tail twitching nervously. "D-did you lose this?"

 Joseth put the amulet on, watching intently as it glowed a blue color after a second. Water powers would be useful if he happened to need the aid of the bracelet. The weight of the dagger in his hand was heavy, something ominous and and dangerous. He hoped he wouldn't have to use it, but wouldn't hesitate if he had to. He settled in his spot, flashing the blade silently want watching the low light glint off of it.

 Hiroshi blinked when he saw the color change to yellow. He frowned heavily, not liking the idea of offensive magic, but what was he going to do about it? He definitely didn't have the nerve to use it, but who knew what could happen in a dire situation? Hopefully he'd be able to at least defend the people around him, though he hardly doubted that he wanted to be the one to cause pain to another living being. He still had some false hope that the people who were attacking them could change their ways.
When Astra mentioned that the victims could change, he felt a breath lock in his chest. That really wasn't possible, was it? That was a myth about zombies and this definitely wasn't that kind of situation, was it? These people were someone's friends, someone's family, and he knew that none of them would willingly attack the people in this bunker. Could a simple bite really change the complete will of the person who resides in the body? That didn't make sense. "I hope you're wrong." He said quietly. "I don't personally see how a physical bite could change the mental compass of a person..." However, there was definitely doubt in his voice, maybe the zombie references started from somewhere and weren't just fiction...
Hiroshi's eyes glanced at the junior and he gave a emphatic nod. "I won't leave. No matter how bad things get, we'll stay here with you." He was just hoping things didn't get that bad.

 Mounia's lips turned to a slight frown. This poor Litch. She really wasn't the best at emotional things, and a part of her was afraid she was just going to make things worse for hum, but he really looked like hu needed someone there. "I could help you look for her?" She phrased it as a question, but she was more than willing to do just that. "What does she look like?" She took a quick sweep of their surroundings to note a few feminine looking people.
"I'm Mounia, by the way." She stated, gently putting her hand on hus shoulder. "Even if we don't find her right away, I can stay with you until we do." She tried to offer a reassuring smile. When hu said something about caring very much about this girl, Mounia just smiled. "Maybe... when we do find her, you should tell her that."

The students who were unconscious hadn't stirred much. Nothing could wake them. They were trapped within their dreams. They dreamt of power and insecurity, led on by the suffocating feeling that they didn't belong. This emotion was just as unwelcome as the dreams, tightening around each and every pain and insecurity the dreamer had and wrenching them from the depths of their mind to put them on display.
They were alone in this world, and they didn't have a home.
Except, within these dreams laid a glimmer of hope. A feeling that they belonged somewhere, with someone. That someone was close. So close they could almost taste the freedom and acceptance of this strange and mysterious person.
They were here, and all they had to do was wake up.
So they did.
The small group of collapsed individuals began to rise, eyes fluttering open. Their eyes had changed, turning from their usual colors into a deep and dark black, sclera and pupils melting into one single color. A glowing red dot illuminated in the center of each eye as the previously fallen group shifted. Something was wrong.
An intense and hateful anger washed through those who were waking as they laid their eyes on the group. No, anger was the wrong word. It was something far more foul, something indescribable. As their eyes laid on those they once called friends and allies they felt a deep, burning desire to break the people who stared back at them. They weren't safe. These people were not their allies or friends anymore, but enemies.
And boy, did they look delicious.
Ava must have realized things were going south quick, as she had shoved the last freshling into the room and was making a move to grab anyone nearby. It was too late. The black-eyed group stood slowly, and then they ran at them. She didn't have time. If she left that door open any longer, the group would get to the children. She couldn't allow that. Instantly, she grabbed Aten and threw him into the room, slamming it shut and, with a gesture of her hand, melted the door back into the wall.
"We need to get out of here, now." Ava yelped, her hands rolling instantaneously into a new movement. The charging group were flung backwards as a rush of air slammed into them, giving the trapped juniors and seniors a moment to run.
"We need to get out of here!"
What to Do:
Those who were previously unconscious have now changed. The bite or scratch they received from the attacks back at the university or safe house has turned completely black, and strange, almost crack-like vein markings have spread from the wound and across their body. Some have the same markings coming from eyes, fingers, and other locations. Their eyes have turned a solid black with glowing red dots in the middle, and they've lost themselves. Whoever they were before is gone. They are now angry, violent, and hungry.
They have become monsters.
For those who wish to learn more about their condition, you can find a thread here describing what has happened to your character, and symptoms. For now, we will call the changed characters "infected".
You may not roleplay your infected character until you post their dream and motivation here. You MUST do this or you cannot continue in the meta. Your post will be edited to say revoked if you do not post the required information in the right thread.
The infected have two desires; murder anyone in their path and eat them. They do not hold affection towards anyone not infected. It is not possible for them to break through the infection, no matter who approaches them. They care only for their own infected kin.
The infected are charging the group. While they were knocked back, giving the group time to flee into the hall and towards the exit, they easily get back up and begin their pursuit. Those not infected get to RNG 1-10. Getting a 5 means an infected character managed to land a blow on your character. Please note in bold that your character was hit, as this pertains to the next part of the META. THEY CAN NOT INFECT PLAYERS. No infections can happen from these attacks!
Ava will be at the end of the hall and opening the door for people to escape. She has instructed everyone to go towards the auditorium, but your character may disobey her. If they do, note this at the top of your post, and state where they are going.
Freshlings will now RP in this thread.
The next round will be posted on Feb 8th.

Sometimes, Astra hated being right. Now was one of those times. "Someday I'll learn to keep my mouth shut," the Junior called as she started a jog. There really wasn't anything to do now but try to stay safe, and making light of the situation with a small joke would only help, right? She felt personally responsible for these two; she had to stay safe and make sure that these two didn't get hurt, either by trying to protect her or by trying to play the hero for anyone else.
Really, though, things didn't look all too good right now.

 'Show of hands? Who saw this coming?! Me! I saw this coming!' But Helja kept her snide internal monologue on the inside as she ran after the others. As sardonic and apathetic as she tended to be, and as brave as she had seemed looking for the lost child, she didn't exactly want to turn into a mindless, ravening monster either. She still had books to read and people to be contemptuous of!
So she tried to follow the others, safety in numbers and all that business. Even with her natural apathy, panic was starting to creep in. She had no skills to combat what was going on, not without access to an alchemist's tools in any event. Such a shame how her chosen profession could be such a hindrance at times. But maybe if she could acquire the tools, there was a chance she could at least learn how to hurt these things....but such an opportunity seemed unlikely. They were nowhere near anything that she could use like that, save perhaps cleaning supplies she could make bombs and noxious gas out of.

 "Next time try for a more optimistic prediction," Liam said as he moved along with Astra and Hiroshi, only half-sarcastic. The group could really use more good things. At least no one had been injured yet, which was more than what he could say for some of the others running around them. He took a moment to glance behind him. The infected people were starting to recover from that blast to the wall and were standing up. It wouldn't be long before they started the chase. Compared to the number of people in the shelter they seemed relatively few in number. What was ahead? "I hope we're not running out of a frying pan into the fire," he said as he turned his gaze forward again, totally oblivious to the irony of his pessimism.

 Aedus frowned the one who had been bitten were waking up and did not look like themselves, this was bad really bad. The nine he hoped this didn't happen to Niamh he didn't want to hurt her, he didn't want to hurt these beings either. He thought they would be fighting mysterious monsters, not the students he saw in the hallway every day of the week. Damn damn damn. Aedus saw Niamh she didn't seem to have anyone close enough to her to be attacked again, so Aedus headed in the direction of the auditorium where Ava was yelling for them to go.

 Coco didn't know what to do she was terrified it was the zombie movie she had seen staying up late one night, she was crying. Now Eliwen, Vanna and her were going to become horrible monsters too, she didn't want to put Kingston in danger. He had been so nice to her. Coco started looking around for Eilwen and Vanna to see if they were going to run and hide somewhere else so they wouldn't put everyone else at risk of being injured and killed. Coco didn't know how this had happened, how had she gone from a quiet peaceful life to this night of madness??

RUBY WAS ATTACKED.
They were stirring, and then they were standing, and there was nothing in their eyes that looked remotely like a person was in there anymore. Ruby froze, unable to figure out what to do. Everyone who had been bitten before - every last one - was rising to their feet and starting to attack. There was that elf Ruby had tried to make small talk with before, hours ago, when they were still trying to corral familiars for comfort. She looked like she was going to attack, eyeing Chunli. And then she did.
Ruby yelled hoarsely. She was standing up, and Chunli was still on the floor, and Ruby maneuvered herself in front of her friend. The infected person struck Ruby. Ruby fought back, not able to get a punch in. But she managed to wrestle the attacker off in some burst of energy from adrenaline. She had bought them just a moment of time. She yanked Chunli off the floor by her hand, and started to run them toward Ava, toward the auditorium where they might receive solace.
The ups and downs of this night, the chaos intermingled with times of peace, was exhausting. Even as Ruby struggled toward safety, dizzy from her wound, she felt tired and bogged down. Tonight was not fun.
jinxgirl5 as requested, Arabelle is attacking Ruby! xD

Adalyn had been hovering on the edge of darkness, not paying much attention to what was happening around her. Near here, one of the previously fallen students lurched to their feet. Others followed suit in an alarming fashion. Despite her own injury, Adalyn suddenly no longer felt the tug of the comforting darkness. She scrabbled away from them on her hands and knees, ignoring the terrible burning in her hip.
She lurched to her own feet. In her heart, she knew that her fate very likely rested with these others but it didn't stop her desire for flight. She searched for Illya and Chervil, who were almost certainly better equipped to deal with their impending flight better than she.
Scrabbling out of the room, she headed towards the auditorium. The awful burning pain was persistent, and she felt a new sort of nervousness. Was she destined to become like those in the bunker?
Niamh's eyes widened as the first of the victims grasped towards the survivors. A frightened little noise escape her mouth, and she clung at Aedus. Faster than she though possible, they were running back towards the auditorium. Things had seemed so much better when they were in there. How could this possibly be the same day they were just going to get pizza?
And then it hit her. She had been bitten. Was she going to become one of them? She let go of Aedus' arm, and took a sudden step away from him. "I'm going to be one of them ... You can't be near me!" Her eyes were huge and liquid, and she looked utterly terrified.

It happened fast. One second they were on the floor, unconscious, and then... They were standing.
And then they were attacking.
Chunli was dizzy from the bite on her neck, incapable of putting more than two thoughts together, but it was clear there was danger. Just as the fog was lifting, Ruby was standing in front of her. Why? Why was she ---
Attacked!? "s**t, Ruby!" There was no time to do anything else. Yanked from the ground, the chimera ran with her friend, smoke trailing whisps from her nose. Adrenaline pulsed across fatigued muscles, and every nerve in her body seemed to snap alive with urgency.
The sounds sunk behind them, quieter now. Chunli took a change and pulled Ruby towards a shadowy corner, next to a row of lockers. Breathing heavily, the Chimera rubbed her face with one hand, the other still holding the Fallen's, "Ava said to go to the auditorium," she whispered, "But should we?"

 That red hot rage was settling in his stomach again. Sure the scientists had it coming you didn’t just play with life like that, but all sympathy was gone at what the infected had done here. These were friends attacking friends or even family attacking family. There was no call for it. There was no need to be as worse as those damn scientists. Coupled with the fact that it was only a matter of time before they turned like this… his special people turned into this, well he was one angry Chimera. His eyes turned to rest on Kingston.
“Kingston… get the f**k away from us now. I want you to get your puppy a** over to the auditorium with Ava” Vanna replied pushing his friend with all his strength in the direct of where Ava was. He needed to find some way to lock himself up. Somewhere he couldn’t break out and hurt any more of his friends. His eyes briefly flickered over to his knife. He didn’t want his body to be used to help people. He had taken over the family to keep from Feliciano hurting people. Mafia was created to help the people when the police wouldn’t or couldn’t. It was protecting those that were yours. Yes there were criminal aspects mixed in but… his claws cut into his palm as he clenched his face. He would hunt the b*****d responsible for his down. He believed in people so he believed they would find some sort of cure. Of course they needed to get out of this room now. Unfortunately he escaped any sort of injury. He almost wanted to be attacked. If he was injured enough then maybe that stupid virus or whatever it was wouldn’t be able to control his body effectively.
