Plot time! White Mice. I have characters, now I need plot.
So, it’s the start of a new year and the start of reopening some very old dormitories. The first night is a party, complete with meeting new people and a little drinking for good measure. Not that everyone managed to get to get to all of that. Eight of them went to sleep early.
Late that night after the party had wound down and everyone had gone to sleep, five of them met up in the attic, some aware of it and others more surprised that they ended up there. Not that they were left to mull in their confusion long as strange and horrific creatures came to attack them and they were forced to act, lashing out at them although, as they vanish, they realize that something is amiss.
This is when the final three appear from the middle of the room. Dawn, Di and Ezra are not so much apologetic, Di and Ezra actually laughing more than anything else, while Dawn gets right down to business. Now that they all know each other’s secrets, they can get down to the matter of the hunters, a large organized group with the intent of hunting them down and killing anyone with powers, that are coming after them in a matter of minutes.
They manage to successfully detain them and send them away, trapping several things inside an igloo in front of the building. Dawn tagged it with something before going to sleep herself. Thus, the White Mice, a prank group was born. No one else realized it until the morning, when they found that everyone had been admiring the handiwork of the igloo. They all rather liked the idea of pulling a few more pranks around campus.
All was going all right at first, finding that the hunters were actually still on campus trying to catch them and pulling pranks coinciding with sabotaging the surveillance on the eight of them. Dawn and Don ended up orchestrating all of this, giving one another code names so that “The Dons†wasn’t kept. Not that it worked, but they tried.
Dawn was taken out of commission early on by some of the hunters, removing her charm and unleashing her, leaving her unapproachable and unavailable for consultation. Angry at the attack on Dawn, they went looking for them to find that they were ready for them. They managed to escape, taking Di to a small place pointed out by Ezra for treatment. Tori went back for Dawn, making a new charm for her and dragging her out of it.
Needing a way out, Gabriel stepped up and found them an escape and a place to hide out for a little while until everyone had recovered. This escape was an abandoned house that they live in for a while, doing house-y type things while some of them late at night located places with the hunters and attacked, taking out weapon stores and surveillance and such.
And now’s where I get cryptic because it’s climax material, but I’m adding it because I want a plot in full to go back to.
They find the big central HQ and they go and attack it, thinking if they take it out the whole thing will collapse. So they go and they fight and someone dies (OMG! Who woulda thought I’d kill off a character?!) and then they go back home and Dawn tells them that they didn’t take out central and no one believes her until they’re attacked on the way back. So Dawn’s not dead. She sees the future, she can avoid death for a good while, neh?
They return to school, walk in on their own funeral and decide to split up, since it’s best for all of them. They’ve become the notorious 8 or 7 and everything is ended with all of them going off on new lives.
And that’s all. 2 more days. 2 MORE DAYS!
