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.

No, it's more the kind of sorry where I know it's not really my fault, but it still really stinks that it happened anyways.

[battling]

You humans... [A slightly exasperated sigh, but it's almost fond.] Fine.

Yeah, this shit sucks and it's fuckin' annoying we got caught up in it.

[heartlands]

[a small laugh]

What's that supposed to mean?

[he nods, though.]

If everything lasts as long as Chad said... It should only be about another month before all this is over.

[but then he, like, actually thinks about it.]

You know, a month. In this room. All together. [...] It's fine! I'm sure it'll be fine.

[battling]

Wizards don't apologize for things that have nothin' to do with 'em.

It's two weeks per season here, ain't it? If it's "a year", then it's 8 weeks total... That ain't long t' me. Still fuckin' annoying.

Doubt everybody's gonna be as gracious about bein' killed. Whatever... We'll see what happens. Sounds like people're pretty willin' to believe there're more forces at play here.

[heartlands]

Dude, you know you can feel sympathetic when something bad happens to someone even if you didn't personally cause it, right?

[he nods to the second part, but—]

Actually... People have been a lot more understanding than I thought they would be, even when I wasn't able to tell them why.

[battling]

[he just.

Totally skips over that first part!]

Somehow I ain't that surprised. Seem like the type of people who wanna believe in each other.

[heartlands]

I want it down on the record that it's weird that you didn't say anything to that first part!

[but anyways.]

...Yeah. I just wish none of us were in this situation. They've got a really hard time ahead of them.

[battling]

What record?

[Moving on.]

Seem smart enough t' piece things together. Least they've got that goin' for 'em.

[heartlands]

Theeee record I have in my head. It's very official. Very important.

[shut up rupert

but he nods.]

I just - hope there's something we can do to help them from here.
