A series of lectures, followed by some groupwork in which Rei ended up doing the majority and making sure that they were going to get the best grade possible. It seemed to be an issue that plagued her ever since the days of secondary education. There just [i]had[/i] to be that one person who didn't pick up their weight and slack. Sometimes, there were multiple people and Rei would have to practically do the entire project by herself. It was yet another ailment that seemed to plague the students across England. No matter where she was, it seemed like people liked to cut corners. No matter the amount of reprimanding Rei gave her peers, they just didn't seem to listen and actually contribute to the project at hand. Ultimately, at the end of the day, it wasn't like she wasn't going to be held down by these people for very long. After this semester, it was unlikely she'd be in the same classroom, let alone group as she was in these classes. The day was over, and now it was time for Rei to return to her dorm where she would wind down and do a bit of studying and other activities before dinner. Maybe a bit of relaxation was in order as well. Rei figured she could use a bit of it after having to deal with all sorts of odd events today. Slipping her earphones in her ears once again, Rei played some [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZdNvbJo6CM]music[/url] to drown out the mundane, idle chitchat that she could overhear on her walk back to her dormitory. Rei had very little interest in listening to other people talk, considering it didn't concern her whatsoever. Stepping outside, Rei hadn't noticed that it had become foggy out of the blue, as she was staring at her screen on the walk out. Given how unpredictable the weather was in England, Rei wasn't paying it much mind. Having it be foggy all of a sudden was not something Rei was a stranger to. However, with every step Rei took, she started to feel progressively dizzier. It was like she was getting drunk from the fog. [i][color=b1a2c1]What is going on? Why am I so dizzy...?[/color][/i] Rei's steps were starting to get heavier - as if someone had turned her feet into bricks filled with lead. Every step she took was a struggle, and soon enough her eyelids were starting to feel just as heavy. The world she knew was seemingly consumed by the fog, and it was like she didn't know anything anymore. As she struggled to progress deeper into the fog, eventually everything had become too much for Rei. Everything went dark as even her consciousness was too heavy for her to bear. A while had passed before Rei had come to, the sound of voices pulling her from her slumber. Opening her eyes, Rei was hoping that she had just had something happen to her and the fog was a ruse, but much to her dismay, it wasn't. The fog was still present, and imposing its presence in front of her very eyes. [color=b1a2c1][i]What the...[/i][/color] Rei thought, before summoning the willpower to stand up. Looking up the sky, the student was having an incredibly difficult time recognizing the world around her. Was she dreaming? No, this wasn't a dream. This felt too real to be a dream. Rei was starting to wonder how something could feel so foreign yet so real, because this sure as hell wasn't where she was before she collapsed. Hearing more voices, Rei's head snapped toward the direction the voices came from. Were there other people around? She couldn't quite make out what they were saying but she could tell it was at the very least, English. At least she wasn't alone in this world. Though, she hoped she wouldn't end up regretting thinking that. If she joined up with other people, maybe they could figure out what exactly was going on, assuming they were friendly. Rei hoped that those people were friendly. It seemed like anything was possible in this state. Rei dusted herself off momentarily, before proceeding toward the voices she heard nearby. Continuing to walk toward the direction of the sounds, Rei eventually came across a group of three people huddled around. She couldn't quite make out their features just yet, but just having anyone around her was far better than the lonesome alternative. Upon getting closer, Rei immediately recognized one of the faces. It was the man that was making his breakfast earlier in the day -- the one who helped her out during the microwave fiasco! Walking over to them, Rei was trying to figure out what to say. As she got within eyeshot of the group, she cleared her throat. [color=b1a2c1]"Hello?"[/color] Rei asked curiously, before looking over at the black haired man and the girl on the ground. [color=b1a2c1]"Do you guys know what's going on? Why is there so much fog around?"[/color] [/color][/indent]
