The office of Nurse Elizabeth Hopkins

Bruce was looking around at the others. There were quite a few of them, but what was Oberon implying by mentioning how weird that was?
"Could be something we ate. Like, uh, do any of your folks shop at the organic market at Charleston and Bridgewater?

He didn't pay much attention as Tess pilfered the nurse's stuff and then left. She was a uselessly abrasive person, and he honestly didn't have time for that.

There was a bit of a scare just then when an ambulance siren could be heard approaching, and stopping somewhere on campus. Bruce, for one, thought for a moment that things were more serious than they had expected.

"Is that for us? What kind of plague is this?"

But moments later, a boy with a bloody leg could be seen being wheeled by the open door on a stretcher.

It turned out that Jackson was right on the money. Soon, the very frazzled principle appeared with a few parents, including Dr. Bailey, who was not working during the day at the moment.

"Ah," the principle spoke up first. "Good, you're awake. Some of your parents are here to take you home, and we're arranging rides for the rest of you. How does everyone feel?"

Women's Restroom

Danielle Carroll was the first to find Tess. Nobody answered when she knocked repeatedly on the door, so she began to assume it was some kind of asshole prank, locking the unisex bathroom from the outside so no one could use it. Transphobic motivations, most like.

She looked up and down the hall to make sure the coast was clear, before putting her hand up to the little hole in the door handle, through which the lock could be pressed. A sort of electric whir noise emanated from her open palm, as a small, controlled pulse of force shot into the lock, clicking it open. When she opened the door, her eyes widened in shock. Not just from the person occupying the room, but from the unusual appendages that Danielle got there just in time to see. They seemed to be dissolving as she watched.

Danielle hopped in the cramped bathroom, closed the door behind her, and tried to shake Tess awake.

"Hey, hey. What are you? Mutant? Inhuman? Symbiote host?"
@FoxSoxs No it wasn’t, you can apply to play.
@tobiax Yeah, you’re clear to post. Check your pm, too.

@FoxSoxs Uh, we’ve got five guys, I think we could fit maybe ten on the outside. Feel free to apply!
Glad to see the hype, and I’m glad to see the posts rolling in. Lemme get reading!
@tobiax You’re right, I did miss it.

Looks good, I guess you’re going there, huh?

Be prepared to have visions and stuff pmed to you.
@Burning Kitty Yup, that’s what she assumed when she was told someone fell.
Okay, cool. That’s better anyway, don’t want anyone being too strong.

And hey, I posted a reply, because I didn’t want too many posts to come in without any reactions to previous events. But don’t feel the need to post now, we ought to wait for others to get in there.

I guess Tess is going to catch the spider-flu from her exposure to the other victims in the nurse’s office.
Tess had passed some parents in the hall, having a hurried conversation with the school Principle, Dr. McMahon. They stopped talking as she approached, and the principle quietly moved their conversation to a nearby unused classroom.

As she entered, Nurse Liz Hopkins looked up at Tess from where she’d been re-checking on of the other kids’s temperature. “What?! Another fainting?” And she bustled off out the door, forgetting entirely to provide Tess with her required medication.

In her anxious state, it did not even occur to her to quarantine the room and keep Tess out. She still thought it was something they had served at lunch.

Meanwhile, Bruce ran his fingers through his hair. They came back wet with cold sweat. He looked back at Oberon. “I think so. I feel better, some. A little nauseous. Did you... did all of us black out?”
It is done, if you didn’t catch it. I actually don’t think it moves him much in the rankings.
@Burning Kitty hey, if it’s not too much trouble, could you move your best and worst ranking into that second post you made? Just to make it more immediately evident.
