GRAVEYARD

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.

[Maybe he did get a house! Who knows!]

I'm gonna go with "yes". Least it's just, what? Six other people 'round here. Plus the bear.

'n the way this place goes, it's just a week of this sharin' shit.

[It's not as horrible as being forced to do something. He honestly prefers this over "biting people".]

[Please let him have a beautiful house with his husband that's all I want for him.

Lan Wangji, meanwhile, has to incline his head at that.]


...Mm. Others have been kind.

[Nobody's been horrendously invasive or rude or anything like that, so--he doesn't like it, but he can appreciate the company.]

[laughs softly]

If ya were on that side- [A gesture to the baby monitor] There'd be way more questions 'nd more people doing the asking.

[The memories he's shared were things he probably would've been wiling to talk about anyway. But he also has very little he considers off limits.]

[GOD. He huffs quietly.]

I avoid contact with others.

[That sounds so dramatic but it's also a lot less awkward-sounding than "I have no friends at home so I have no idea what to do with all you weirdos who actually talk to me like a normal person"]

[ There's a sparkle in his eyes. ]

By choice or what? Did ya lock yourself in a house and curse anybody who dares come close?

[ East...? ]

[give him a moment to stare into the void in (redacted) emotions

anyway]

Talking is allowed. [They're not quite monks. Just founded by one. It's fine.] No yelling. No gossip. No lying. No arrogance.

[That sort of thing. You can talk, just be quiet and polite about it! It makes perfect sense to him.]

[He blinks, tilting his head very slightly, like he doesn't understand the question.]
battling: (Kinda messed up)

[personal profile] battling 2021-07-03 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Waves his hand in a "never mind" kind of gesture.]
souheki: (ponytail)

[personal profile] souheki 2021-07-04 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah. Well, in that case he just kind of hovers awkwardly for a minute.

Eventually--]


...Mm.

[That's, uh, that's a "yes, I am happy like that".]

[Oh... huh.]

Least it works fer ya.

[im hopping into this thread because it's w3 tuesday which fits the timing. at some point after this conversation, lila spots lan wangji.

she points in the direction of the phone booth.]


Hey, Sally says call her.
souheki: (rabbit watching)

[personal profile] souheki 2021-07-06 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He


tilts his head slightly.]


"Call"?

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-06 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
There's a phone in there! One that actually makes calls instead of just sending emails. You can hear her voice over it.

[Oh. He blinks, because this is more new technology, but then he nods once.]

Thank you. [He didn't think Sally would want to talk to him?! But okay.]
wtfox: so i'm following him and buying stuff that he's buying (i found a hot guy at the grocery store)
