And she knew Ruth would kill her if she got the whole dorm worrying about the little ginger. Billy understands the need for a little dignity – like, in case she was wrong for worrying.
That was an interesting night. It apparently took me a minute or two to wake up; my roommate was getting worried. Also, funfact, the cause of the alarm was that someone lit a roll of toilet paper on fire and threw it down the fire escape stairwell. At 3AM.
We think it was the same kid who 1. once kept a piglet in his room 2. Managed to get a bathtub into his room 3. flooded one of the bathrooms in a totally different dorm by plugging the sinks and turning on the water. It only takes one of these people.
At my college there were a couple false alarms set off during my first year because some people in my dorm building reeeaaallly liked smoking weed. They would seriously manage to smoke so profusely (always around midnight) on school nights that they set off the building’s alarm. Twice.

I go to a school with a very lax substance-abuse policy, and you had it easy if it was just twice. Our alarm goes off at least once a month. We’ve started ignoring it, but apparently that’s illegal?(???)
And that’s why at my college there was a scholarship named after an RA who died saving students who ignored a fire alarm. She didn’t, of course, save all of them.
Alex Stritar
Wait, RA who dies saving an idiot? Does that mean Ruth existed in our world?
Pat
No idea what she was like. The fire was 10 years before I was a student. I just know that they took fire safety seriously, and they ran through and checked all rooms before they let anybody back in after a fire alarm so they could catch people who didn’t evacuate properly.
Pat
Oh, that’s not a very good sentence, is it? Let’s try again.
I just know that they took fire safety seriously. For example, they would check rooms to catch people who did not evacuate properly when the fire alarm went off. After firefighters had cleared that it was safe, of course.
I once forgot to bring my indoor school-shoes (a thing we had, I guess to avoid dragging grime from outside into the building?) to my locker a few days after summer break ended. A fire alarm went off — either someone pulling it or one of the rare cases of an actual fire, though it wasn’t too serious — and out I went. Through the park. In socks. With lots of scattered branches, chestnut shells and pinecones on the ground. I remember that there were lots of other students who seemed to have forgotten too, since some were sharing shoes, wearing one each and hopping on one foot, and some were piggybacking on shoe-holders.

She’s got legs, and she knows how to use them D=

I’m saying, don’t stand in the way of her high kicks.
Makkabee
She’s got sole, and she’s super-bad.
Gibbs
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Geminia999
So, why did she pull the alarm if she was just going to break down the door?
Doctor_Who
Get rid of witnesses.
girly2k
Witnesses ruin everything.

So no one would catch her breaking down the door.
xain
So she would have an excuse about why she broke down the door

*ding* *ding* *ding*
Bill
We have a winner!!!
Baroncognito
Because people are less curious about doors breaking down when there’s a fire alarm going off.
Wonder Wig
Because if people saw her kicking down the door they might figure out she’s Amaz-Girl.
Thomas
This! Obviously.
Pat
See, this makes so much more sense than anything else I was thinking.
She had a plan! Why did I doubt her? Oh, right, I remember.
Luzahn
Oh god there’s a truck in there, isn’t there. Damn you, Willis!!!
=P
Doctor_Who
Ruth and Optimus Prime are going at it.
Plasma Mongoose
Munkey NOT Trukk?
Geminia999
So she’s surprised that Ruth isn’t a lesbian? Or what would you classify a Human/Robot Relation anyways?
Doctor_Who
Malayism.
Optimus Prime
That is simply absurd.
John
Ruth’s drinking with Ultra Car.
Plasma Mongoose
Two redheads going at it, now that’s what I call FANSERVICE!
John
Until Ultra Car hits that.
I mean, uh, hits her.
Yotomoe
Randomly fell straight from the sky into her bed.

She got one of those race car beds, only hers is a truck! And then she hit her head on it! NOOOOO!
Plasma Mongoose
DYNAMIC ENTRY!
Yotomoe
Is that what they’re calling it these days?
Plasma Mongoose
Yup, it’s the IN thing to do. 😀

It apparently cost 42K to make rashly break down ruths door … worth every penny
Historyman68
Rashly? Is that what they call Jim Rash when he’s an adverb?
Rich
ACTION~

Sarah looks even more sour than usual. Reminds me of every fire drill I ever had in college.
Z3tto
At least it’s nice out. My fire drills in college were all during winter and/or pouring rain.
Yotomoe
Mine was sunny and stuff. It wasn’t too inconvenient, I wasn’t exactly doing anything.
Rust
Did you ever have one in the middle of the night?
That was an interesting night. It apparently took me a minute or two to wake up; my roommate was getting worried. Also, funfact, the cause of the alarm was that someone lit a roll of toilet paper on fire and threw it down the fire escape stairwell. At 3AM.

I… what?
WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK?!?
Boom

COLLEGE LIFE!
We think it was the same kid who 1. once kept a piglet in his room 2. Managed to get a bathtub into his room 3. flooded one of the bathrooms in a totally different dorm by plugging the sinks and turning on the water. It only takes one of these people.

Was there a murder investigation soon after?

Yes. Because people can DIE trying to get you out, as Pat says below.
AgentKeen
I keep a frisbee at my desk in the lab I study in for fire drills on nice days.
taekwondogirl
Mine was at 4 am on a night I had stayed up til 2:30 am. ._.
George
After the first couple false alarms I started to just play 3DS with noise-cancelling headphones on whenever I heard the fire alarm.

I think I see the basis for a new currency here.

Ruth, you’re Amazi-Girl?!

No, Spider-car.

No, Gary Oak.

That avatar… that comment… perfect!

Wait… so the door opens inward and she was pulling on it with all her might in the other strip?
Yotomoe
Not the smartest of rescuers.
SUGauthor
Maybe she was just kicking REALLY hard.
Boom
“My legs give me super strength!”
Luzahn
It was mentioned somewhere that that was based on an art error; initially, Billie was supposed to be kicking it in.

Relevant Willis tumblr, assuming I am posting the correct link correctly.

Billie looks scared, so by extension I’m scared too.
