[ Alright, thanks! ]
"Nghh..." Weak sunlight filtered through the blinds in the teacher's lounge, dancing across Ethan's eyelids. He flung one arm across his face and let out a long sigh, slowly rubbing his temples as he blinked rapidly, eyes still adjusting to the light. He glanced around the darkened room. There were no other lights on. The microwave, mini-fridge and other two armchairs lay halfway in darkness. Although the teacher's lounge was normally locked during school hours so that only staff with keys could have access, he had found the door ajar the previous night and flopped down on the couch, exhausted from roaming around all day and trying every exit he could think of. It was all coming back to him now... the lights flickering out, the doors slamming shut and the locks clicking in place. That's right. He was trapped in here. And he wasn't getting any closer to getting out by just laying around.
The recently transferred Englishman got to his feet, smoothed out his wrinkled clothes, and headed out into the hallway. It was still and quiet. He'd never been at school this early in the morning before. He ran a hand tiredly through his messy dark brown hair. It was too early for this crap. As he stood there, he slowly became aware of footsteps nearby. He froze. Was that voices he could hear in the next hallway over? Could it be he wasn't alone here? Relief washed over him, quickly replaced by suspicion. Maybe it was the jerks who had locked him in here... cautiously, he advanced to the end of the hallway and peered around the corner. Standing several meters away was a small group of a couple other teens, muttering amongst themselves. "Er... hello?"

Jason Banker - 18 - Senior – Male; He/Him Jason stands at 6’2 with short brown hair and grey eyes. He has a 5 o’clock shadow and messy hair that looks as if he just rolled out of bed. There are soft curls in Jason’s hair and often some will fall over his forehead. Jason’s eyes are a light grey similar to a stone’s color and can either be jovial or a deadly glare. His thick brows are more of a line than an arch and he has medium length lashes. A sly smile often rests on his face especially around friends and people he cares about. However, for most he reserves a scowl for. He has fair skin that will burn rather than tan. Jason wears a Jason wears a sleeveless navy hoodie under a black jacket. He wears grey cargo pants with zippers to make them into shorts and he also has black boots. Face claim is James Marsden. Jason can appear tough and guarded at first but deep down he is just a giant softy. He is loyal, protective, and true to his friends. He will never lie to those he cares about and will always put himself at the front lines to protect others. Jason is bi. Emma and Jason’s parents died in an accident and so they stay with an aunt who just lets them do their own thing. He takes care of Emma more than their aunt. - [thepineappleincident]
Emma Banker - 18 - Senior – Female; she/her stands at 5’3 with brown hair and grey eyes. Her hair has a natural ombre style to it, the ends a honey blond compared to the rest of the brown waves. Her hair reaches the top of her chest and is parted one the left, the right majority slightly falling in front of her right eye. Her dark grey eyes are often narrowed but are big and expressive. She has thin, dark eyebrows and long, dark lashes. Emma has a few piercings much to her brother’s distain. She has a stud on the left side of her nose when you look at her and sometimes it is a ring. In her right ear are three cartilage/helix piercings, the lower one attached to a silver, ball chain that is connected to a piercing on her upper lobe. She has 2g plugs in both earlobes which will either be a galaxy design or owl heads. On her left ear she has a ring in her tragus and just two piercing in her cartilage/helix. She has a fair complexion and tends to tan easily. Emma wears a white tank top underneath a brown hooded jacket with a black jacket that matches her twin brothers. She wears brown hiking boots or she will just walk around in her black ankle socks if she doesn’t feel like wearing her shoes. Emma’s face claim is Sydney Sierota. Emma is the cautious type who clings to her brother and it takes a while for her to warm up to people. She is hot tempered and stubborn, but kinda transparent cause she doesn't hide her thoughts and emotions well. Emma is pansexual though she doesn’t let people get close enough in order to start a relationship. Her parent’s died in an accident so she and her brother stay with their aunt who is never around. Emma is still not over their deaths. - [thepineappleincident]
Robbie Williams - 15 - Sophomore – Male; He/him
Standing at 5’10 and lanky, Robbie doesn’t seem to win in the muscular category. Having more smarts than dashing good looks, this boy uses that to let people underestimate him and let him coast through life. He has wildish brown hair that is styled in a way that makes it seem like a went through a car race with the roof down. As much as he tells people that he does indeed brush his hair, it’s almost always a lie as he tends to wake up too late to remember to do that. He has soft brown eyes that are somewhat narrow from getting glasses too late and having to squint most of his childhood to see. Robbie has pasty skin that will burn for a few days before returning to normal. His faceclaim is Andrew Garfield. Being a bit of a geek, Robbie wears a black shirt with a Triforce on it with Navi at the center saying, “Hey, listen.” He also wears khaki cargo shorts and Pokemon themed Converse. Robbie always goes with the flow, adapting to what’s around him to not be noticed. He isn’t one for conflict and will try to appease rather than argue. Being more of a lone wolf, he won’t make friends willingly because it’s easier not to stand out when you are alone. - [thepineappleincident]

[ I think they've all just woken up. A couple of them have run into each other in the hallway, from what I've skimmed over so far. So you could just... have your character find their way to the others, maybe? o3o ]

“You’re right. We should -” Wynn was interrupted by a small voice slightly down the hall. She looked past Riley and saw a wreck of a boy, who she’d assumed had just woken up. Wynn had never seen him before, but then again, she hadn't seen most of the people locked in before. Offering a sympathetic smile, she called down to him. “Thought you were alone?”

Ethan saw one of the girls look up at him and was somewhat taken aback by her friendly greeting. Okay, so these were normal kids. Fellow students, trapped in here just like he was. He felt his mouth go dry and was suddenly aware that he was staring. He promptly went red in the face, which was even more noticeable given his very pale complexion. "Um, yeah," he grinned, approaching them with a bit more confidence, even though he was acutely aware of how odd he must look right now.
At his old school, dressing well was common, and long before that at his private school back in England everyone had to wear a uniform. Currently sporting a nondescript brown vest (or waistcoat, as he called it) and black tie over a collared white shirt, the sleeves of which he had rolled up to his elbows, and grey jeans, he had always stood out from most other students. Now he probably stuck out like a sore thumb. He swallowed nervously. "Um, hi. I'm Ethan Grey," he extended his hand, wondering if he was being too formal. Why was talking to other people so hard? "Who are you?"

Wynn giggled at his nervousness, but composed herself after feeling rude. She was just as worried before, and she had no right to make fun. “Hi,” She said, shaking his hand, “I’m Wynn Da Rosa. You can call me Wynnie.” The question as to why he was so formally dressed came to mind, but she didn’t bother asking it. Maybe he just liked to be prepared for fancy dinners - all the time. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before, though,” She added quietly, “Did you come here later in the school year?”

Cray listened to Discus, crossing his arms out of habit as he watched the torrent of newly awake students approach over his head. They drew attention away from the boy, unfortunately, but hopefully allowed the two of them to better discus(get it) a plan. "Is it possible to get back on line? If they've stopped paying for internet for the summer where would we connect?"

Ethan blushed again when she giggled at him and compulsively smoothed out his wrinkled clothes again. He hated feeling embarrassed, especially around girls. And he hated blushing. "Yeah, actually," he replied, sticking his hands in his pockets. "My family's moved around a lot in the last couple of months. We just came to the U.S. last year, actually. I'm from England." As if she couldn't tell by his painfully obvious accent, the kind that Americans loved to make fun of.

Emma headed stiffly down the hall towards the cafeteria, a bit on edge. It's not like she thought the students she was trapped here with particularly bad, but once food got short, she didn't know which ones of them would snap. Giving her head a hard shake, she pushed away the thought. We won't be trapped here that long. she told herself. Surely someone's parents will call the police...although it won't be mine, not for a week.. As she reached the doors to cafeteria she cautiously peeked inside, a bit nervous about going in. She wasn't particularly shy, but didn't speak to many people other than her friends. Pulling her jacket around her tighter, though it was getting quite hot inside, she slowly made her way to an empty table and sat down, looking across the people in the room for any familiar faces.

Completely oblivious to how red Ethan was, Wynn nodded thoughtfully, “I thought so,” She said, blowing a pesky strand of hair out of her face, “I could tell by the accent, but didn’t want to assume anything, you know?” Rolling back and forth on her feet, she tried to think of something that wasn’t small talk, as she doubted he’d say any more than needed. “So. . .”

"You got us trapped in here, Jason," Emma said blaming her brother for the predicament they were in. Running both hands through her hair she wondered if their aunt would even notice. That frustrated Emma more than being locked in school. She stormed off towards the cafeteria, barely registering the sound of her brother's voice. Emma turned around, walking backwards as she said, "I'm going to see if there is food. There are probably others. You were staying behind to make plans and flirt." Spinning back around she rolled her eyes and walked down the hall.
Jason stared at his sister for a moment. "Fair point," he murmured as he began to follow her. "So why did you wait for me? I told you to go on without me." No response. He could see her fingers twitch at her side and knew she was panicking. Or she was just really finding this interesting. Either way he didn't have a chance to say anything when Emma walked faster, leaving him a bit behind. She must not have been in the mood to talk which was fine. They began to hear voices and Jason wondered if there were others. It didn't matter because when Emma led them into teh cafeteria, he saw others. Some he recognized others not really. He glanced at Emma who seemed to be eyeing a vending machine and hoped she wouldn't try to bust it open. Please don't do anything rash. Please, Emma. Please. Apparently, his mental please were for nothing as she shook the machine hoping to get out some Reese's.
Robbie sighed when he lost internet. It kicked him out of the battle he had been in in Pokemon leaving him with the quest to catch them all. He was sitting in the hall near his locker waiting for the call from his dad. Only it's been hours since he last heard from his dad. The smart phone felt cold in his hands as he picked it up from the spot next to him and noticed there was no signal. Robbie simply shrugged and went back to his game.

"Um, yeah, I thought you might," Ethan muttered, though he found the standard American accent just as interesting, even if it did sometimes sound grating, depending on the speaker. After that, it seemed that both of them had run out of things to say. An awkward pause stretched between them. Maybe she wasn't all that great at conversing with other people too. It wasn't that he was shy; no, not at all. It was just that he found it hard to talk to people, for some reason. He never really knew what to say, other than "Um, yeah." He glanced at the other students, none of whom had noticed him yet. "So... if we're trapped in here... why hasn't anybody tried to call the police yet? Or someone's parents?" He hoped his siblings weren't worried about him. Probably not, the little brats. And his mother, bless her heart, she was so busy she probably had no idea he was even missing yet.

( discusslow clap gg fox 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚠𝚒𝚗𝚔𝚕𝚝𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜: Awesome! Welcome! c: queen of disco: That's fine. ^^ ) Daisuke took a moment to think, thrown off by Cray's words temporarily. "I could see if there's other wi-fi connections in a close enough range and try to hack into them." They were in a relatively large city, after all. There had to be a connection he could get into. He hoped. Seeing as Wynn was now occupied, Riley, after noticing her appear in the room, made his way over to Emma. He figured he may as well be polite and include her, seeing as she was all alone. He took a seat across from her, smiling at her in greeting. "Hey there. You doing okay?" She seemed to be a little tense, and Riley couldn't blame her. With no idea what exactly was going on, it was only normal to be on edge.

“I wish we could,” Wynn knit her eyebrows, “No one has any service. Every door and window is locked, and right now, we’re trying to figure out what we’re going to do.” She wondered what would have happened if she’d gotten out in time. If she hadn’t ran back inside to go to the bathroom. She glanced down at her hands, which had clutched the fabric of her shirt. It was a sad thought, knowing that they were stuck here, and Wynn had a feeling that none of them truly deserved it. She didn’t notice until a minute or so passed that she’d been looking at him with sad eyes. “Sorry,” She muttered. “We’ll find a way out, I’m sure,”

Casey Jones - 18 - Junior - Nonbinary/they Standing at about 5'8", Casey is neither tall enough to tower over anyone, nor short enough to be notable. Their blond hair curls naturally and they have it shaved short on one side. It has become a bit of a mop. Their eyes are hazel. They're quiet, but not because they are shy; they just tend not to talk unless there is something they need to say. Despite not being too talkative, they like to stay close to the other students when possible so they won't be singled out. Underneath their silence is a passion for creative engineering, but they aren't nearly as excited about learning complex math as they would need to be to be an engineer. They have a younger sibling and father outside of the school. Their mother left when they were still in elementary school, shortly after the birth of their sibling. - Iceblossom

"No service? Every door and window locked?" Ethan shook his head in disbelief and let out a low whistle. "Well, we're screwed then," he scowled. If only he had thought to check the mini-fridge in the teacher's lounge. There might have been some food in there, even if was just leftovers from somebody's lunch. He was starving and he half expected his stomach to roar like a semi on the freeway at any moment. Not noticing her forlorn expression, he glanced over her head at the empty cafeteria kitchen. "In the meantime, what are we going to do about food?"

“Pretty much,” Wynn responded. “But for now, we have enough food to last us. It really depends on how many more people we find.” Not having eaten anything that day, she could have gone for anything, but it worried her about who else was out there. If they were ever low on food, she’d have to skip a meal or two. Her small body would be able to handle it, and besides - all she usually needed to function was coffee, which she hadn’t had yet. Yawning, she looked back up at Ethan. “I could go for a coffee right about now, if they even have them. You can come with me if you want,”

At that very moment, coffee sounded heavenly. Ethan nodded and was about to follow her when out of the blue another student appeared, bright-eyed and eager to meet him. That was a first. Nobody had ever been eager to meet him. Ethan blinked confusedly. "Hi," he replied, shaking her hand firmly, looking her in the eye. He attempted a friendly smile, but it could have come across as more of a smirk for all he knew. "I'm Ethan Grey. Pleased to meet you, too." He glanced back at Wynn and gave her a small nod, indicating that he'd catch up with her in a moment. He didn't want to be rude and walk away after immediately meeting someone new. Looking back at Margot, he asked, "What year - er, grade - are you in?"
