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.

[ Sometimes death does jostle the brain a little anyway how dare you tag me before I could get to work and tag you first instead. ]

[ it’s even funnier because i immediately fell asleep afterwards. ]

So.

You’ve, uh. Changed?

[ God. But I have all week to pc Becks now uwu.

But he does look up, but not before he clips on a strange mask to his face. He looks questioningly at Crow. ]

What's that supposed to mean?

[ uwu ]

Doooooes it matter if you don’t remember either way?

Guess it doesn't, does it?

[ But he turns around, and sticks a hand out at him. ]

Aikawa, nice to meetcha.

Aikawa, huh…?

[ … is this his head? welcome to caiman’s actual head and caiman’s actual head only ]

Crow. Nice to meet you too, although the circumstances kinda suck.

[ Only one way to find out. Or probably a whole lot of other ways. ]

Yeah, no kidding. Not a whole lot of space to move around here, what are there, like, two rooms? Three?

[ oh. smoochin. gotcha. ]

At least there's a nap room? I think?

[ he still needs to look around. ]

Could get kinda cramped if people keep showing up here.

[ I see. Crowkawa real? ]

Jeez, I hope not.

[ There's a lot of genuineness there, at least by his standards. Everything else sounded at least somewhat careful, and well, masked, but this one seems simply and plainly honest. ]

[ makes kissy faces ]

… [ he snorts. ] Yeah. I love being crammed into tiny rooms with like 15 other people.

[ The graveyard ship swerve... ]

You see me, I'm a big guy. Needs all the space we can get!

[ wow, who was caiman kissing before this then ]

Yeah, there’s a few of us who are above average height wise.

[ I wonder! ]

Hmm, well dunno what average height for you guys is, my best friend's about my height too. [ 'Cause they're freaks, god. ] Those baby mats are no good. Nope, nada. Need something way better.

[ nods. claude. ]

I'm... pretty tall I guess? But not as tall as you, obviously. So...

[ a shrug. ] Maybe I have it a little easier.

[ Proud of you and your Crowde. ]

None of us got it easy! Except maybe like. The one girl here.

[ RIP LILA. ]

[ no, caiman and claude are kissing. i have spoken. ]

Yeah, someone didn't think it through when they starting going after all the tall people.

[ I see. Does this mean Crow is wingmanning... ]

Sucks. Not just for us but for Lila too since we're taking up all her space. [ Though lbr that's very funny. ]

[ yeah. he now pronounces them clown and ex-lizard, now smooch. ]

I mean. She's little. She can find a corner somewhere, probably.

That's so mean to put her in a corner!

I mean, no one puts Lila in a corner? But she can have a little less room. Our legs are longer.

We can trade-off the big space with the mats and the nap room.

[ Compromise! ]

Compromise keeps the people happy. Probably.

Yeah, why not? It's easy since it's just a handful of people. It'll get sticky if there's more though, probably. Hope we get maybe even two nap rooms before then.

We do seem to be finding new things each week? Maybe one of them will have proper beds.

Hell yeah. Guess we'll be working towards that then.

[ So we don't end up like Caleb. ]
