Catastrophe on Campus

[hfm_npcs]

[Monday morning, a crowd of young adults and presumably teachers are gathered around the college campus, spilling out into the street. Some of them have signs. Most of them seem to just be shouting and sounding generally upset. The signs and words consist of outrage against the schools’ inadequate supplies.]

[The crowd grows thicker as the day goes on, though various teenagers and children leave the school early to wait outside for their harried-looking parents to pick them up.]

[Police come to monitor the events. Some of the teachers and other important-looking figures start heading towards the front to address the buzzing crowd.]

[Later in the afternoon, the frustration seems to only be mounting further until a scream breaks out in the middle of the mass of people. Then another, and another, all from very different parts of the crowd. Was it induced by frustration? Is there something else going on? Either way, the panic is mounting, people are scattering, screams of anger and fear are rising--the crowd and whatever may be in there will be making this situation dangerous.]

[Screams in New York could mean literally anything, but in Freesia? It only means one thing: Nox. And of course, Casey is right there, trying to push his way through the crowd, who seem to not want to move for him. Maybe if they really want nothing to do with him, they'll clear out if he's up front about it.]

Hey, make way! Magical fire guy, comin' through. Can't beat the Nox 'til ya move!

_{[ Kirk can hear Casey through the crowd and he makes his way to him, reaching out to grasp his shoulder and pull himself up beside the other against the flow of the crowd. ]}

Hey! You know what's causing all this?
