GRAVEYARD

students in time out: 10
It's a little hard to wake up when the melody that drifts into your ears is so comforting that it'd be so much simpler to stay asleep. Maybe everything that you remember last - the cold seeping into your fingertips, the pain of injury, or the darkness creeping into your vision - will just be parts of a bad dream.
But it's not.
When you wake up, it's probably a little disorienting - you have to push off a blanket and rise from this nice comfortable mat on the floor. Seems like you were all curled up for nap time. Literally. The room that you're in has furniture meant for small humans, children as some might call them, and everything is soft and plush to the touch with rounded corners. Blocks with the alphabet etched onto them, coloring books and crayons, and even a rocking horse dot the room to really give it that childish charm. If you can think of a child-safe toy, it's probably in one of the baskets that line the shelves of the room!
Around the room they'll find baby monitors that broadcast the antics of the living. Hopefully that doesn't feel creepy.
There is a yard outside through the glass doors, but it currently seems to be locked - and the glass won't break no matter how hard you try. There's a large pink door that feels enormous, ten times as tall as you, on one side of the room, but there's no way through that either. At the very top, you might see a directory sign that says: TO ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.
Huh.
Well... for now, get comfortable. It looks like you might be here a while.

Hmm.]
...Sharp.
[HE HATES THIS. WHY.]
no subject
[she looks at their reference image, then at their macaroni, then at their reference image again and. sighs.]
no subject
You recognize this?
no subject
[she shrugs]
Anyway, it's a really famous painting, so I'm not sure why they want us to make it out of macaroni.
no subject
Does it hold significance?
no subject
[she looks at the picture again]
...it's not really accurate to the text, but like, most religious paintings aren't.
no subject
Could it be relevant here?
[No, lwj, it’s probably a fuckin meme]
no subject
[it's just a meme, my dude.
(smash cut to six weeks from now when it turns out it was, in fact, relevant.)]
no subject
[I’m never playing a ye olde again]
no subject
so she snatches the macaroni away from him.]
Yoink!
[a beat.]
Now picture that but, like, with a rib.
no subject
[SOUNDS VIOLENT.
But I do not wish to consider modao creation myths so he’s just going to accept it and get to work on this stupid art project.
…
…
…At least, he’d like to. But instead, he finds himself popping another raw macaroni in his mouth, then narrowing his eyes slightly as it bites him again. WHY THIS]
no subject
except she spits it out onto the ground and then crushes it beneath her heel.]
no subject
This will be difficult.
[DO THEY HAVE TO DO THIS]
no subject
[ why! :( does principal bear! :( hate them!]
no subject
[He’s gonna do it. He’s gonna make it into paint.]
no subject
Should we just, like, crush them all then?
no subject
Mm.
[Gracefully, he gets to his feet.]
Please place them on the floor.
no subject
lila is just dumping all of the macaroni onto the floor. farewell.]
no subject
But that done, he pulls back his fist, and, with seemingly not that much effort, brings it down hard enough—not only to crush the pasta, but to leave a small dent in the floor.
Oops.]
no subject
hello.]
Oh, wow! You really would have been able to defend yourself if you'd wanted to, huh?
