"A hamburger will do just fine," Lena said. "That or a salad. I don't often drink but I guess it wouldn't hurt. I'm surprised that you haven't gotten into trouble for drinking or having alochol on campus."

Sha'la winked.
"They don't have a problem with alcohol on campus as long as you are sensible about it. Although I admit I have gotten into trouble for drinking too much before...but you knew that already!" Sha'la grinned, "Any-hoo...when do you want it sent up?"

"Didn't think you drink sake in the first place," Ella shrugged, "Yeah, I don't mind."
"Then it's settled!" Sha'la replied enthusiastically, "I'll bring the booze in later tonight when my classes and job here is done!"

Ella couldn't help but grin at Sha'la's near-childish glee whenever drinking is mentioned.
"OK...where shall we go to get something to eat?"

"Maybe the food court," Lena said. "And okay Sha'la, we'll see you later then."

Sha'la waved goodbye with a very anime-esque grin with closed eyes as the pair walked away.
"Food court is that way," Ella said, pointing towards the student activity centre, "Let's hope we can go there without encountering any more problems."

The pair jogged their way to the food court...
"Well, here we are...about 10 minutes later...uh oh..." Ella skidded to a halt. The main door had been barricaded and a large protest gathered outside. Two banners gave away the cause.
"'Occupy Shiro' and 'We the 99 Percent'?...oh no...not again!" Ella sighed, "Is there anywhere these guys aren't?"

As Lena and Ella stood outside the rabble and discussed their next move, a student protester suddenly appeared and shoved phamplets into both of their hands before running towards other newcomers to do the same. Ella glanced over the flyer before scrunching it up and throwing it into a nearby bin.
"Usual stuff. Complaining about bankers and rich people and all that jazz," she remarked, "At this rate, the whole campus will be under lockdown!"

Suddenly several protesters started shouting and pointing. Ella and Lena turned around to see the cause. Several large limos drove by on the campus road. One of the protesters tried to jump out infront of the limo and started throwing eggs at it, only to be forced back by security and police. The crowd got progressively more angry and agitated as the motorcade continued past them. The pair narrowly avoided more debris being thrown and both moved away from the crowd to avoid being caught up in it.
"Wh...what was that all bout?!" Ella managed to blurt out as Lena lead her to safety.

"I'm not sure, but I'm still hungry. I guess we could order pizza back in our rooms. I really don't want to get mixed up with these guys. Come on, my treat." Lena and Ella headed back to their rooms.

"Oh please," Ella remarked, "I'd eat lint if it allowed me to get away from those protesters!"

As they approached the dorms, Ella could see a large gathering at the main entrance.
"Oh...no!...please no...!" Ella gasped as she saw yet another group of protesters.
"Well, this is just...fantastic..." Ella sighed, "What is it this...tim...oh..."

A large banner saying "We the 99%" answered her questions.
"Why do I get the feeling we are in some sort of TV prank show?" Ella asked no one in particular as she looked around.
A security guard walked up to the pair.
"If you are looking for a way into the dorm, you'll need to go to the side entrance. The main lobby is being occupied at the moment."
"Thank Hal'vo for that. Thanks mister!"

Lena and Ella were able to get back to their room. "Well, looks like pizza is out of the question," Lena said as they entered the room. "I don't think the delivery guy could get in what with those protestors. I do have a pack of peanut butter crackers, if you want some."

Ella remained silent at first, then broke down giggling.
"I'm sorry..." Ella laughed to Lena, "It's just so contrived...It's as if someone is writing a script for some bad film...everything that has happened today..."

Ella took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
"...err...yeah...peanut crackers...shall we check the commons first? Usually the refrigerator there has something in it."

"Agreed."

Ella and Lena exited their room and headed to the commons. It was empty, save for one student who was determined to show her support for the protests around the campus by pinning fliers for the "99%" everywhere and was in the middle of hanging a banner from the window. When she saw the pair, she panicked.
"Umm...err...SORRY!!" she screamed before running away down the stairs.

"Well, at least it was just one person. Of course, she did manage to finish hanging that banner," Lena said. "Let's just get our drinks and get back to our room before they start coming in swarms."

Ella looked around the commons looking for any further signs of trouble before raiding the refrigerator. She starting digging around before bringing out 2 cans of orange pop and a large bottle of mineral water.
"I think these will do," she said as she shut the refrigerator, "Now let's get out of here before those crazies return."

Lena nodded. They got back to their room just fine. "Well, hopefully things will have settled down. I think it would be best if we both stayed in our rooms until things calm down. I'm guessing the police and the protestors will be at odds for a few days."

Lena opened one of the cans of orange soda. "Anyhow, have you looked at any of the work we've missed since we've been excused from our classes. Still can't believe they're doing this to us."

"To be fair," Ella began, "I don't really have any real academic 'work' as such. Being a Grad School student made things a bit easier for me. I don't have any real compulsory classes to go to, so to speak. The only thing I really need to do is my dissertation. Which is a long term goal anyway as it goes alongside my work doing this technical stuff in the campus."

Ella poured some of the mineral water into a mug.
"Having said that, I am concerned these interruptions may mean I might have to put back my submission date for said dissertation by several months if this continues."

"Oh, so you're a graduate student? That's cool. I mean you're going to get your master's degree. I hope to get mine one day as well. However, I managed to look at the work. Seems like I'll going to have to make up a lot of tests and quizzes in my computer programming class. Luckily, I didn't sign up for any history or general science courses this semester. I like history and science, and to be honest, I don't why I didn't take them this semester. But now, I'm glad that I didn't. Anyhow, what's your thesis on?"

"'Benefits and Limitations of Networking Hardware Optimisation'," Ella said, "Or at least it would be if I could actually get that work in the labs finally done. One of the biggest problems seem to be the constant set backs. First the power cuts, then the crazy racist attacks and now these protests. It's almost as if someone is trying to deliberately get in my way of my work. I'm beginning to wonder if we will end up finding some hidden camera crew like in that film...what was it called again?...well anyway, it feels like a hidden camera show at the best of times..."

Groaning, Lena said, "I do hope nothing else happens. I really don't want to miss any more of school. Well, probably tomorrow I'll try and do some of my missed assignments. Might as well get a head start before it gets too much. Anyhow, would you like to help me out some tomorrow. I'm not asking you to do my assignments for me, just be there in case I need some help."

"Depends on what you need," Ella replied, "But sure, I can help with some of your assignments. Just let me know and I can arrange it, be it study help or some extra recitation classes or whatever..."

At that point, someone knocked on the door.
"Yes?" Ella asked as she opened it. Outside was Nee'la.
"Oh hi Nee'la. What can we do for you?"
"Just checking to see if everyone is OK," Nee'la replied, the jingle bells tied to her tail ringing slightly as she swung it slowly, "There's been some reports of assaults involving the students on campus, especially in the dorms and I'm doing the rounds every few minutes in this dorm to check up on everyone. Something to do with rival factions of students in this protest not liking each other."

"Ugh!" Lena moaned. "Please, I don't want to miss anymore classes! I think we should just stay in our rooms, Ella, until all of this blows over. I really, really don't want to miss anymore classes."

Sighing she said, "But we're doing okay, Nee'la. Ella and I were just talking about making up our missed assignments, well, mine actually. And Ella, thank you." Lena smiled.

"OK," Nee'la said, writing down something in a notebook clipped to her belt before nodding, "In that case, I'll head to the next..."

Nee'la was interrupted by a fire alarm.
"Oh dear..." Nee'la sighed, "OK, better get out..."
Nee'la grabbed her portable radio.
"November Zero-Five to Control. Over."
"Control to November Zero-Five, go ahead, over."
"Control, we have a fire alarm activation in Wachin Dormitory. Can I check it's a drill? Over."

There was a long pause from the radio.
"Negative November Zero-Five. Fire alarm is not a drill. Evacuate immediately. Over."
"Copy control. Out."

Several students started running down the stairs in response to the fire alarm. One of the students seemed to have the television from the commons under his arm in an attempt to steal it.
"HEY!!" Nee'la shouted after him as he rushed down the stairs. She tried to run after him but lost sight of him after a few stairs. Sighing, she beckoned Ella and Lena over.
"Better get out. I suspect those protesters either triggered a smoke detector or set off an activation point deliberately."

Lena curse in Lobonese. "Ugh! Please, Nee'la don't let them excuse me from any more classes!" Lena grabbed her laptop bag as she and Ella ran behind Nee'la after locking the door behind them.

Outside the Dorm...

As everyone gathered at the fire assembly point, it was obvious what the cause of the fire alarm sounding was. A large plume of smoke was emerging from the far end of the dorm building. Ella put her hand to her face in disbelief.
"Lovely..." she muttered, "I'm guessing those idiotic protesters started it."

As if on cue, several protesters were seen being lead away by police. They continued to shout slogans protesting their innocence. Several fire trucks proceeded past the waiting students as they were corralled into the assembly area. A large SUV stopped alongside. Sha'la jumped out the drivers seat and put on a hi-vis vest marked "SECURITY" as she walked over to the mass of people outside.
"OK folks. Keep calm! We will let you back in as soon as we deem it safe to do so. We thank you for your cooperation.!"

Sha'la then surveyed the chaos. She directed several other security officers and police to different corners of the dorm building.

Lena was about to burst into tears. "Ella, this is terrible! They're going to excuse us for the rest of the semester! I can't stand this!" She walked over to Sha'la and begged her to make sure that the dean didn't excuse her from any more of her classes. She was about to burst into tears.

Sha'la looked on confused at Lena's outburst. Then nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll let the Dean know. Besides, the faculty can ill afford to keep giving you time off so I don't think they will excuse you for the whole semester. And even if they did, they would have to take that into account come graduation. Now, I need you to remain calm. I've got about 3000 students to look after here, you included, and I don't want any of them getting upset over anything."

At which point Sha'la offered Lena a handkerchief and ordered more staff in to corral the remaining students.
"See to those guys over there. I'm trying to comfort a fellow student here," she said to one of the guards.

The mysterious figure, wearing a long trenchcoat and hat to hide his/her identity, looked on as several fire department trucks arrived at the dorm building and started dousing the flames. S/he took out the dictaphone and started reporting his/her findings.

"...disturbance in dorm I am residing in today...appears to be large scale campus wide protest on economic malaises in the wider world...widespread direct civil disobedience by many students and staff...both academic and otherwise...potential flashpoints noted by difference of opinions..."

The figure paused and looked around. Noticing a small group of people at the edge of the car park, s/he continued his/her report.
"...one student in vicinity being provided emotional support by campus security staff...situation regarding them unknown...good sign that psychological well being of students well catered for...will reflect positively on site report despite violent protests...will need to exercise caution when socialising with other students...especially after said incident..."
