007 ♦ action -> handwritten
[Just another day at school, thankfully with nothing untoward happening, other that than weird buzzing noise she's put up with since Saturday. As much as she's trying not to worry about it, it's starting to grate even on her... but maybe it was better to leave this one to the others. They could at least defend themselves if something came up. All she could do was hide and try to patch them up after, and that only through mundane means.
That thought had gotten through her morning, bringing her to lunchtime; she wasn't one of the many that chose to eat lunch outside while it was still nice, so she sat in the cafeteria, pondering the world's mysteries while she ate, and listening to the others speaking around her.
...Right up until the conversation suddenly became one-sided, and one of the other girls nearby started to ask questions. Winter came back to herself, then, and took a closer look: the one that had been speaking just fine a moment ago was now totally passive, staring into space and precious little of note beyond physically being present and occasionally offering a slightly spacey response to a question, after a delay. While it worried her, it happened often enough - though perhaps not to this severity - that she didn't really dwell on it, and after the girl snapped back to reality a few minutes later, she almost forgot about the incident entirely.
And she wouldn't have thought about it anymore at all, except that it happened again just a few minutes later, as another girl seemed to space out right next to her. This time, she became concerned right away, and put a hand on the girl's shoulder, starting to ask if she was okay, and getting back a dreamy "I'm fine" in response. This was starting to really creep her out, and to make matters worse, she could feel... something stirring. After a moment's considering, she realized the feeling, and zoned out for a moment herself, though for a completely different reason: an Echo. Not-her and several others, including the pink-haired girl, were watching a TV report... people were collapsing... and then a sharp thud behind her, and several adults were on the floor behind them. She didn't catch everything, but a chill ran through her heart at not-her calling for her mother to wake up. That left her badly spooked as the feeling passed, to the point that the girls were now asking if she was okay. Reassuring them, Winter quickly excused herself, no longer hungry, and escaped to the student council room, currently deserted, and pulled a notebook out of her bag, starting with her number and continuing to write in a very shaky hand:]
Something's wrong... two random people just completely spaced out right in front of me, for no discernible reason. I know it's not totally unusual, but... I have a bad feeling. Has anyone else noticed anyone just... zoning out? If not, maybe I'm just overreacting. But I'm starting to learn that we can't be too careful.

Is there anything else unusual going on at the college?

For that matter, I'm worried. It's... part of my responsibility to make sure no harm comes to the school or its students. I want to be able to uphold that.
