"Guess so." says Wynona absently. "But as long as you don't hear a time bomb or anything I don't think it's anything to worry about. Anyway, I've almost got this schedule. The dean changed some of his passwords so it's taking a little longer than I thought. When I'm done I'll send a copy to a printer in the library."

Liza waves goodbye and scribbles down her room number on a scrap of paper in case you need help studying later. As you walk down the hall, you here voices coming from the auditorium. The security tape from in front of the door has been torn down too. Just standing there, you feel an odd sensation of approaching danger that you don't know what to make of.

She shrugs. "Not really my concern. Who would even bother to steal a class schedule anyway?"

You hear two distinctly female voices and the shuffling of paper. Someone talking about... something in the library? The voices don't sound old enough to be teachers or faculty, but students aren't supposed to be in the auditorium because of construction. You lean against the door for a better listen and you feel it give a little. With the right amount of force, you should be able to open the door just enough to peek inside without making yourself known.

The low buzz of electricity is suddenly accompanied by the short creak of rusty door hinges. You're prompted to turn towards the sound and...

The door opens with a creak. Inside you see three students investigating what appears to be a pile of abandoned bookshelves and such. It's an odd sight to say the least, and the students themselves seem like equally strange characters. You see a boy edge towards a metal file cabinet atop the pile and...
Xenyx
You reach towards the file cabinet. Your barely touch the drawer but you can feel something in it shifting. You immediately get the sense that something has gone wrong. Electricity courses through you against your will. In the midst of all this, the previously illegible words scratched into the drawer suddenly become clear. "IN THE BASEMENT"
There's a flash of light and the screech of metal against metal. Wynona screams bloody murder as her laptop shorts out. The cabinets shiver as if alive and their draws fall out of place. The balance of the pile shifts and it collapses. The room buzzes with electricity and then goes still and silent. Tension settles over everyone and everything in the room.

"Who's there!?"
She asks.

Skye told him. Or, at least she assumed it was a boy. She walked his way, and was soon right in front of him.

"How come you're here? Shouldn't you be in class?"
She didn't say it nastily, but in a rather calm tone. There was no good reason to act mad.

From out of an apparent state of shock, Wynona clutches mournfully at her felled laptop. "M-my..." she gapes. She whirls on you, rage in her eyes until she actually sees you and reluctantly softens up. The anger is still there, but it flickers in and out of her expression as if she were carrying the heavy emotion and unsure where to put it.
She attempts to ease you out of your curled up position, then pulls back as a little ripple of electricity shocks her hand. "Do you think you can stop doing that?" she asks irritably.
