(It's be interesting if the first one turned into a hostage situation. Really bad for the school, but it would interesting to see how all the royals delt with it.)

((I know right but I think we could really work with it. We could even get the school off the hook by saying that they security was compromised and then just beef up security after it was all handled. And like that's an opportunity to clear out inactive characters just say like they had to go home because their country no longer saw the school as safe.))

(Plus it adds turmoil for the kids who want to stay but who's family's want them to come back. Or ones who want to go home but are kind of being encouraged to stay. Though the second could still be cool to.)

Good morning everyone.
ANNOUNCEMENT: We will be doing the hostage situation! So I will post a starter and then you all may just RP the intruders as needed. They are very plain and have black masks on and black pants and black turtle necks and lots of gear, such as bullet proof vests and such. When we feel its time we can have them taken out but for now we are entering into a hostage situation. Good Luck. And try to keep violence at a minimum. They want to hold the royals for money not harm them or they don't get a pay out.

The dance is going cool as can be when suddenly it all goes up in smoke. (get it?) The lights go out and the music stops, the crowd of royals stand stunned in a pitch black ballroom. With the absence of the loud music they can hear a crash and the sounds of breaking glass hitting the wood floor. Blindingly the lights come back on and they are surrounded by people dressed in all black with weapons held at the ready. The patio door and the skylight have been busted in from the outside and the moon casts an eerie glow into the now dimmer room. The party lights have been disconnected and the sound system is still silent. But the fog machine continues to roll out the grey wisps of smoke around everyone's feet. "Everyone on the floor! Now!" yells the man in front. He is of the tallest stature and seems to stand with the most confidence. As much as the royals wish no one comes busting through the doors to their aid. The security system is helpless and their body guards are no where to be found. Not exactly then night they had all been expecting to say the least.

Cain glanced around at the people surrounding them, calmly holding his hands up in surrender despite his heart thudding quickly in his chest. He carefully elbowed Max, slowly moving onto his knees and moving his hands behind his head, confused but not about to show fear; he was a Prince, and would show only dignity. He silently hoped that Aila was safe in her suite, and had noticed what was happening.

IC When Max said he wished things were a bit wilder, this was not what he had meant. The Belgian send a wary glance over to Cain, not sure what to expect from all of this and it certainly didn't help that he was already internally panicking, but maybe...maybe it was some sort of show trick for them to enjoy. He really doubted it but that's what he was going with.

Before the lights even turned back on, Charlotte was half out of her chair, a wild look of fear obvious across her face and in her eyes. Being from a country that was only recently escaping economic turmoil, she had been trained on how to react in a potentially hostile situation. Of course, training and actuality are far different, so her actions were laced with strong fear. She dropped to her knees, wringing her hands rathe nervously, and tried to keep from cowering completely. She had no idea what the people wanted, and there fore new that it was best for her to keep her head down and stay out of it. After all, she was merely a duchess, and mostly likely pretty low on their radar.
As soon as the lights cut out, Levi closed his eyes. It was dark enough that he couldn't see anyways, and keeping his eyes closed would mean that the light wouldn't be as blinding when it came back. Then he heard the crash of the glass, and felt the light turn back on, his eyelids red from how bright it was. He waited another moment, then opened his eyes. He looked at the broken glass of the skylight first, mentally crossing his fingered that no one had been caught underneath it when it broke. At first glance it looked okay, so he redirected his attention across the table to Emma, ready to comfort her if needed, just as the leader yelled for all of them to get down. He dropped out of his chair, still prepared to help her if she needed it. It was best for him to collect information on what was going on before he tried something.

well,I sure am happy I came back today xD just the drama I was looking for!)
Makali had risen quickly to her feet when the lights went off,her instinct kicking in when the people in the masks came in.She was limited in what she could do though,with no weapons she wouldn't be able to help at all.Even if she tried to defend Charlotte and the others,it would make the situation worse.Instead,she fell down to her knees besides Charlotte and quickly found her hands to give them a comforting squeeze."It's okay,we'll be fine,just stay calm.."She whispered to Charlotte,leaning slightly over to her to do so.Now to take her own advice and calm her mind.
Arlo froze as the lights went dark,then came back again to show they had been surrounded.He stepped closer to Kuro,ready to defend him at least,if it came to it.Who were these guys?Some group that was probably looking to make bank,he guessed.After one of the men yelled for them to get on the floor,he felt that seemed the best course of action not to get hurt.He tugged lightly on Kuro's arm to have him do so,then fell to his own knees.He continued watching the room and the group on intruders,not sure what he should do besides try to keep Kuro and the others safe.

Cain cast his gaze up towards the men, eyes narrowing slightly, as he went on a whim; they hadn't came in shooting, which must mean that they needed the royals for something- therefore, it was unlikely they'd shoot them. 'Whaddya want from us?' He spoke out, firmly staring down a man who glared at him through a mask. 'You to shut up.' He growled. Cain narrowed his eyes on him. 'And if I don't?' 'Then you'll be our first example,' the soldier hissed, prodding the tip of his gun at him. Cain tensed, then raised his chin, lips set in a firm line. 'No, you won't. What do you want?' The male grunted and aimed the gun again. 'Money, kid. Now sit tight and shut up.' Cain nodded, understanding now that they were in a hostage situation. 'Just stay calm.' He murmured softly to Maxi. 'We'll be alright.' He glanced towards the doors, worrying his bottom lip. Aila, are you alright? he thought.

Charlotte felt Makali's hands slide around her own, and she took a deep breath, counting the seconds so that she didn't push herself towards hyperventilating. "I'm alright," she whispered, leaning a bit towards Makali as well. "Are you okay?" she asked, her voice hardly louder than a breath. She still kept her breaths deep and even, knowing it was the best way to stay calm. After she'd made it to the ground and was mostly out of harm's way, her fear had subsided a bit. None of the masked people had used their weapons yet, and that meant that they weren't seeking solely to harm the royals, at least not yet, and so she would be safe until the situation changed.
(Crest, I've got Charlotte right now, so I'll leave Levi with Emma. He's not really the kind of person to leave his date in a hostage situation. It would ruin his image too much, plus he tries to be a good person most of the time.)

IC Max wasn't sure he could stay calm, it wasn't really his best trait, however he got down on the floor all the same, it could still be some sort of performance, meant to scare them at first and then turns out to be something cool instead. That could be the case, and until someone actually got hurt, he was just going to assume that's how things were.
Meanwhile Kuro did as they said and got onto the floor, eyeing the newcomers warily. Hostages...that's what they were. Well you know, he blamed this on this place's lack of security. He was tempted to sneak passed and then find a way to help, but he didn't want anyone else to get hurt in the process and while he enjoyed danger, he wasn't going to risk everyone else.
Salvador had instantly reached for his lizard, who climbed up and disappeared into his sleeve. He sent a glare over at them. "And you're planning to keep us here until what, you get money from ours families? What if we decide to overpower you? What if someone else comes. You should think these things through, si?" He asked, refusing to sit down because dang it, someone had to be the hero and he was good at that, ladies digged it.

Juliette opened her mouth to reply when the person charged in. Her eyes widened in surprise, and more shock at the moment than fear. She looked at Branson, before grabbing his arm and ducking under the table. She swallowed in fear, looking around for her brother and Natasha.
Cristiano and Natasha both turned to face the men as the lights went off. "What the h-"Nat was cut off as Cristiano grabbed her arm and yanked her behind a table that was close to them.
"Oh my god,"Nat swallowed nervously as she saw the guns and weapons that the men held.
"Stay down,"Cristiano ordered her, looking around for his sister. "I need to find Juliette,"he said immediately. He put on a brace face, but was terrified, not knowing where his sister was.
Natasha grabbed his hand as he tried to move away,"no! Cris-"
"Stay here, that's an order!"he told her.
Nat glared at him when he tried to use his rank to order her, yanking him back down. "Don't be stupid! Do you really think it's a smart idea to run out there and get yourself hurt! You're not a soldier!"she hissed at him.

not sure if I should wait for Gumball or not before using August...hmmm)
Makali's eyes were quickly moving around the ballroom,counting the intruders numbers,while keeping her breathing even as she had been taught by her instructor.She glanced back at Charlotte when she spoke and nodded swiftly."Im fine."She replied,her voice even and calm as she spoke.Her breathing exercises were helping and she felt perfectly calm.Well,nearly perfectly."We need to cooperate,at least until we can figure out how to get out of this situation."She whispered quietly to Charlotte.A royal had spoken up,drawing the attention of most of the intruders,it might be useful as a distraction.
"Are you okay?"Arlo asked Kuro quietly,glancing over at him.He would listen to the intrudrs,for now,as it seemed the safest option.He wondered how they could alert those outside the ballroom,or if they already knew.If they did know of the situation,perhaps there was something the hostages could do to help them.He began looking around,looking for such a thing that would help them.

IC Kuro nodded. "Fine, and you?" He asked, honestly Kuro liked to think he did very well under pressure or in a number of stressful situations, so really, he was handling this just fine, though he was trying to calculate the best ways to get out of this, or get everyone the help they would need. He doubted many of the people here knew how to fight, he did, but that was just martial arts. No guarantee it would do any good against a gun.

Charlotte nodded, shifting lightly so that she was more comfortable on the ground and at a better angle to hear the other conversations going on. "I think it's only about money, which isn't the best thing, but it's better than wanting to hurt us," she whispered a few moments later, having over heard one of the intruders arguing with another royal already. She wasn't surprised that some of the egotistical or over confident princes were speaking up, and it meant that she could get information without drawing attention to herself. Hopefully, none of the arguments would lead to anything worse. She wasn't sure she could handle the sight on anyone's blood with the cocktail of emotions currently streaming through her system.

Arlo nodded."Im fine,I hope everyone else is holding up okay..."He replied,then nodded at the others around them. This would not play out well if the intruders decided to start using their weapons,though they might hold back for the most part since they after money.Not everyone in the room was a royal though,and that worried him.
"Though they might hurt someone...there isn't just royalty in this room."Makali replied quietly,glancing at some servants and teachers scattered around the ballroom.What would happen if the intruders went after them? She glanced in the directions where royals were speaking up,listening quietly,trying to get as much info as possible.If things did go south,she felt somewhat confident she could at least get Charlotte out of harm's way.

"Oh," Charlotte said, following Makali's gaze. "I forgot about them. I hope no one starts anything, they'll be the ones punished for it." She continued, still speaking barely above a whisper and still listening as hard as she could. "I wish there was something we could do to be sure this goes okay. Though paying them off to get out okay isn't the right way to go. Plus getting all the money they'll want for us together will take days." Charlotte felt anxiety crawling up her throat as she spoke, talking herself in to a mental panic again. Her breaths sped up as she thought about how long this could go on for. The longer it went, the more danger they were in.
(I'm gong off to bed now. Night!)

Makali nodded silently,spacing off as she thought about the consequences if this didn't go well.Even if it did go well,and everyone got out safe,she feared what her parents would do.She knew it was selfish just thinking about herself,but she truly was afraid her parents would take her back home and keep her there till they were ready to marry them off.Makali shook herself from her thoughts,focusing instead on Charlotte.Her breathing was speeding up and she seemed quite shaken,clear signs of anxiety."It's okay,we'll be fine,stay calm.."She breathed,and placed a light hand on her shoulder.
