Alison awoke early in the night, blinking slowly as she regained consciousness. The previous night had gone extremely well. A smile crossed her lips as she recalled the date she had gone on; her and Danny had a wonderful dinner, and they were now dating formally. They went back to her room and she showered, changing into her pajamas; after that, they hung out for a while, chatting and playing games. Nothing ever got romantic, past the kiss they shared at dinner. At some point in the middle of a game, she passed out, probably resulting in her first in-game loss of the night. Judging by what she could see of her room, it seemed like Danny had tucked her into bed and left, as he was nowhere to be seen. The thought made her blush a bit, but it was sweet, and she couldn't help but smile. She slowly sat up, stretching herself out, and reached over to hit the button that activated her lights.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Click.</span><br/><br/>..Nothing happened. She looked over at the button, puzzled.<span style="font-style: italic">Click.</span>Again.. Nothing. She looked around at the rest of her room, realizing for the first time that the only source of light was.. her cell phone? She slowly reached over to it, hesitating as she did so. Why was she hesitating? More importantly, why did she feel nervous? Sure, electronics not working was unusual, but not entirely unheard of.. There was nothing wrong, probably just a power outage from too many people at the arcade. Strengthening her resolve, she quickly grabbed the phone, bringing it to her face and staring at its bright screen. The sudden proximity of the light blurred her vision and made her flinch, but it wasn't long before it came into focus.<span style="font-style: italic">No Service.</span><br/><br/>The words hit her like a blow to the gut. She gasped in a mixture of surprise and fear. "W-what's going on..? How is there no service??" she stammered, her fingers beginning to tremble. Even in the absence of electricity, technology had advanced far enough to where she should still have service, even if it was weak. There was always backup power specifically reserved for the sake of communication, it was too important for people in this day and age.<br/><br/>After a moment, she looked up. Twisting her hand to shine her phone around the room, she looked around at everything. There was nothing unusual in her room, save for the lack of any kind of active electronics. Slowly, Alison pulled her covers off and stepped out of bed, double checking the floor.. though for what, she wasn't sure. "I'll.. I'll just get dressed and go outside. There will be somebody there who'll know what's going on.. There's got to be," she told herself nervously, forcing out a half-hearted chuckle over how shaky her voice was.<br/><br/>After setting up her cellphone so it shone over the room as best it could, she stepped over to her closet, carefully getting dressed. It was a clumsy affair, due to the limited lighting she had to work with on top of her shakiness, but eventually she was changed into a white tank top, denim jeans, and black tennis shoes, her lingerie being the same color as her top. She made her way back to her phone; even if there was no service, it still served as a good source of lighting. She checked the screen, noting that it was about 5 in the morning, and her phone was at 42% battery.<br/><br/>With a sigh of resignation, she grabbed her keycard and purse and stepped over to the door, tapping the button to open it. The door opened with a<span style="font-style: italic">whoosh,</span>and she started to walk forward; she stopped for a moment, her foot halfway out the door, and turned around, looking back over the room. "Well, it's.. It's not like I'll never be able to come back here, haha.. I'll just get the rest of my stuff later." The door wouldn't function while the power was out, so once she left, she was locked out unless she forced it open. The keycard reader just wouldn't function. There was probably some way to get in from the outside, she just didn't know what it was. The guards and staff probably would, so she decided she would ask one of them when she found them; maybe she could find Danny.. With this in mind, she took a deep breath, finally stepping outside, the door closing behind her with a creaking<span style="font-style: italic">thud.</span>
