There had been nonstop movement and panic since the very first emergency broadcast. Everyone had been shuffled to their respective areas, which for orphans like Lucien, meant the Academy gymnasium. They were allowed to take nothing - no toys or blankets or food. Though a few, he noticed, had taken something anyway. There was no hiding the envy he felt, knowing that some students had toys when he had nothing.
But everything felt like... A sort of like a fever dream? He kept looking at the teachers in desperation for one of them to say something like, "Haha, no problem kids! We're just joking! Good job, this is what a doomsday drill would look like if we had one!"
Unfortunately, no one was laughing. Well, some were. The fear was settling down a little bit and Lucien was quickly placated with sewing a plushie for himself. He quickly named it Dudsley and tucked it below his arm, the ultimate resting space for plushies!
Sewing wasn't very interesting, mind you, and soon the Bakeneko was out exploring. Small clumps of students sat here or there, breaking off from the two main areas where everyone was crafting one thing or another. As he walked, sniffles and crying caught his ear, making them twitch. "Huh?" It was... Coming from over there? Near a corner...
Approaching slowly, his tail flicking back and forth curiously, he called out, "Hel~lo? Is anyone there? Hellooo~?" Taking a few more steps, he finally found the cause f the noise - a young bakeneko girl, crying miserably.
"Ohmygosh! Are you okay?" Lucien closed what little space was between them, immediately getting into poor Leddi's space. He affectionally rubbed her arm and hoped that having someone of the same race nearby would help calm down the little 'neko, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Boops!
