The Playground

[bezejmenny]

The playground between the schools has been reclaimed by the wild, with trees and bushes providing good cover. A domed jungle jim stands in the center, surrounded by a maze of slides and tunnel tubes. Only chains hang on the swingset, missing their seats.

Yosuke had originally thought that maybe he should wait right outside the door for everyone, but as soon as he stepped outside, he realized just how bad an idea that was. This whole place just had an oppressive feel to it; not to mention that he wasn't in the best condition to take on anyone if anyone did want to fight as soon as they exited with their weapons. Not like there hadn't been a lot of fighting previously in the classroom. He lightly shook his head as he believed that all the rumors about Kanji were true; about how intimidating and scary he really was.

He rested his back against one of the bars of the domed jungle jim. Continued to look out to see if he recognized anyone to call out to them -- wondering if that was safe to do given everything, but didn't just want people to be on their own. Like all of his friends. What were they doing here? Would Kazama be all right with this sort of thing playing again? Then there was the idea that someone (someones) had to die before the day was out or else

Shikamaru ran at full speed as soon as he was out the door of the classroom, assuming that someone would be waiting at the entrance of the school to pick off everyone who came out right away. At the last second he swerved, foregoing the doors in favor of a broken window to make his exit. He hit the pavement with a roll and stopped then to look around. No one in his immediate sight. Good. He reached into his bag finally to find out what weapon he'd been assigned.

"You've got to be kidding me," he muttered, fingers drawing out a ballpoint pen. He held it up, examining it closely to figure out if there was some trick to it, but... He shook his head. "Pain in the ass."

A sound behind him made him jump. Whoever was after him in the roll call was probably on their way out now. He had to get the hell out. He got to his feet, still clutching the pen, and took off running again. He had almost passed the playground when he spotted Yosuke. That idiot.

He approached from a direction Yosuke would see him coming, because surprise would be a bad

"Huh. Okay." Using the side of the bars as a brace, he pushed himself up to start crouch-walking towards the bushes. He did stop midstep when he heard a voice obviously directed at the two of them. More surprises as he saw his teacher; really, it seemed like there were a lot of people here that he didn't originally realize. Had he really been that focused on everything else but who was trapped here as well? "Edge. Ah, Shika. This is the one that was going to teach-- huh

[lazyish]

Shikamaru didn't normally put a whole lot of faith in teachers, but it was such a huge relief when Edge showed up. An adult being around meant they could relax for a second, right? If he didn't have to worry about looking out for attackers, then he might actually be able to form a solid plan of some kind.

That feeling lasted only a second. The screech of metal made him spin around and he caught sight of-- no, not some kid from a rival school but Hidan's boss. "Shit!" He clamped a hand over Yosuke's big fat mouth and leaned in to whisper, "That's not a kid, you idiot. Keep your mouth shut so we can live a little longer."

He glanced at Edge, then glanced down to see if Yosuke was holding his weapon ready. The sight of blood seeping through the makeshift bandages distracted him. "Listen, Yosuke," he murmured. "We need to get out of here, get away from all the people so I can stop your bleeding before you start to get faint. If this guy picks a fight, you and I need to just run. We'll be a burden if we stick around with you hurt like

Shijima came out of the building and yawned. It was either past midnight, or time for a nap, but sleep could wait for later. For now, she scanned the area from the exit point. Behind her was the high school building. Off to one side is probably an annex of the high school, or an elementary school. Near that was a playground where people were gathering. She saw a few familiar faces in the crowd over there

[waitingfora]

"Not a kid?" Yosuke mumbled the answer against Shika's hand, turning his head back to look at the guy. He made a bit of a face at being told to keep his mouth shut, but then again, he had been the one who had been stabbed because of what he said. Because he had interrupted. Still looking back at the one approaching, he muttered to himself. Certain that at least Shika would hear him, but no one else. "Ah, he does look like an adult now that I look closer at him. I guess it's his height that threw me off." Easy to make these sort of comments so that he would forget that he had been stabbed

[lazyish]

Shikamaru refused to let himself think of anything but Hibari and Yosuke, and how to get one as far as possible from the other. So when Hibari came rushing towards them, nothing distracted him from an immediate reaction. Yosuke fell back against him as he was already taking hold of him, and he used the momentum to turn the both of them so that they switched places and now Shikamaru was between Yosuke and Hibari, his body a shield.

But he wasn't going to leave it at that, not too eager to let himself get torn up with rusty metal. He gave Yosuke a shove forward and started running. It became immediately apparent that he was going to be the faster runner, so he hooked an arm around Yosuke to drag him along. He wasn't going to leave his friend behind.

"Get your weapon out!" he yelled at Yosuke, not glancing back to see how closely Hibari was following them, if he was. "And if you can't use it, give it to me!"

Shijima took Yosuke's waving his hand about as an invitation to join him. So she did. Slinging her bag over her shoulders. She cut through in between the teacher and Hibari. She gave the mafia boss a grin as she passed him by. "I'll see you later, Hibari," she said, confident that she would encounter him again in this game
