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.

[headsplitter]

Really?

[ He looks up at her a bit, tipping his head, but.

Hn. ]

... Can barely remember what they're about, though. But if there's a sleeping tea or something, that'd be pretty great.

[wtfox]

There's, like, juices and stuff back inside...

[tea... hmm.]

I don't know about a sleeping tea, but chamomile's supposed to be pretty good for that? We could ask the bear to give us some. He gave alcohol to Bradley earlier.

[headsplitter]

Haha, the bear! That's funny.

Sure, I'll try it!

[ There's a pause here, before he extends a hand. ]

Aikawa, by the way!

[wtfox]

[she takes his hand and shakes it.]

...Lila. It's nice to meet you.

[headsplitter]

Lila! Nice.

So, uh. Any idea of where the hell we are?

[ Well, he knows, or has an idea. But. ]

[wtfox]

Daycare, which is apparently where everyone goes when they're expelled, but like, I've been to a lot of schools and that's totally not true.

We're stuck in here because the bear lost its keys.

[headsplitter]

Daycare! I see, I see...

[ He's thinkies. A hand just rubbing his chin. Then he points at her, decidedly: ]

That sounds stupid! I've had to leave school before and they didn't even have a daycare!

Alright, what's up with the keys stuff? They're just scattered around?

[wtfox]

Yeah, it is pretty stupid!

[he gets it! he gets it.]

We're not really sure. We searched the whole place for them and couldn't find any, and then out of the blue at the start of the week the bear said it found one of them. There are still more, though.

[headsplitter]

Huh! Hmm, hmm. [ Back to rubbing his chin thoughtfully, except it looks ridiculous given the gas mask. He's probably thought-stroking the breather part of it, like a dumbass. ]

So only the bear can find them? What happens when we get them all? [ He tilts his head... and looks towards the building. At the massive door. ] Maybe it's for that?

[wtfox]

I think so, yeah. The bear mentioned needing to get to the administration office, and I think that's where that leads, sooo...

The sooner those keys are found, the sooner we can get out of here? I think it's something like that.

[headsplitter]

Administration.

[ He perks up a bit. HE WANTS TO FIGHT ADMINISTRATION. ]

Alright, sounds like a plan to me. Whatever you guys need, I'm around to help.

[wtfox]

Really?

[she smiles]

...great! I'm sure we can get out of this if we work together!

[headsplitter]

...Yeah!

[ He lowers his head a little bit, but just agrees and nods. ]

Anything I should be looking out for?

[wtfox]

Mm, well... nothing in specific just yet. Oh, but you should talk to Lan Wangji at some point. He's been keeping notes on everything we've learned so far, so you can get caught up by reading that.

[headsplitter]

Sure. Which guy's that? [ Ignorance game continues. ]

[wtfox]

[she studies him for a moment, then looks back inside and points at lwj]

That one.

[headsplitter]

Neat!

[ He reaches out, like he's about to pat her -- but his hand twitches, like a flinch I guess, and he just draws it back. Nevermind. ]

Thanks, Lila! Super helpful.

[wtfox]

No problem!

[she follows the progress of his hand from where he's reached out to when it's drawn back, and she pauses.

and then, casually:]

Sooo... are you hungry? Maybe we could ask if the bear has any ohba gyoza. It got alcohol for Bradley.

[headsplitter]

[ He's somewhat predictable. He immediately tenses up, like he wanted to get more excited about it, but stops and just ends up pausing for a second. This is truly the worst tag I've had to write. ]

Sure, I could go for some food. Dunno what gyoza is...

[wtfox]

[she watches the way he tenses up]

Oh, well, if you don't know what it is, maybe you wouldn't like it...

[headsplitter]

[ This is bullying. And honestly the worst day of his life 'you spent all day yesterday having to deal with people interrogating you about a gruesome murder' no this is the worst day of his life. ]

... If you think so...

[wtfox]

...you don't sound very sure of that!

[headsplitter]

-- 'Cause it's just weird logic! Okay!

Why would you assume I won't like something I've never heard of! I have no opinions! None!

[wtfox]

Well, some foods are an acquired taste, you know? And if you've never heard of them or never had them before, you might not like them!

[headsplitter]

I like other foods! I don't have any likes or dislikes!
