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.

[wtfox]

...wait, what? Do you like other foods or do you not have any likes or dislikes? Which is it?

[headsplitter]

[ I'M GOING TO CRY I WAS ONLY HALF-PAYING ATTENTION AND ACCIDENTALLY TRANSLITERATED IT FROM JAPANESE (SUKIKIRAI NASHI) I'm just going to go with it end my life. ]

Gah! I meant -- I don't have any dislikes! Yeah, that's what I meant! I just woke up, I have excuses!

[wtfox]

[rest in pieces

anyway, she pats his shoulder]

So what foods do you like, then?

[headsplitter]

Ramen. Porkbuns. You know, stuff like that. [ Gyoza. Other Sino-Japanese foods, apparently. ]

[wtfox]

...you know what ramen is but you don't know what gyoza is?

[headsplitter]

...

...

...

Yeah. I mean, there's a neat ramen place near my school but I've never seen a gyoza restaurant, so.

[wtfox]

Don't a lot of ramen places sell gyoza too...?

[headsplitter]

Dunno, I don't have a lot of time to spend on lunch, so I eat pretty fast.

[wtfox]

So you've never read the menu...?

[headsplitter]

Yeah, 'cause I order the same shit every time. Tonkotsu, extra-big size add-on. I have favourites.

[wtfox]

But wouldn't you have had to look at the menu at least once to place your first order?

[headsplitter]

You think I just memorized the entire menu or something?! Jeez, you're really hung up over this stuff! I can't tell if you do or don't want me to have gyoza...!

[wtfox]

[she shrugs]

It just seems weird to me, that's all! Like, even I'd heard of gyoza before I moved to Japan...

[headsplitter]

I dunno where that is, maybe rules are just different or it's way more common in your world!

[ He should've said he just never had gyoza. He has grossly overcompensated. Oh no. ]

[wtfox]

Maybe! You could be right, I guess.

[headsplitter]

Exactly, endless possibilities Lila!

[wtfox]

Yeah, I guess so! Plenty of weird things out there. What's the ramen like in Hole, anyway?

[headsplitter]

[ GOD. He just turns his head a little bit. ]

Hole? Never been there...

I just hang around places around South Zagan... Berith, places like that.

[wtfox]

[she shrugs]

Oh! Hm. I must've gotten them mixed up.

Well, what's the ramen like in South Zagan and Berith?

[headsplitter]

Pretty good. One place I really like's got handmade noodles and the owner's been running the place for like, twenty years? Gotta say, that's one of my favourites.

[wtfox]

Ooh, nice! Sounds tasty. You can't go wrong with handmade.

[headsplitter]

Right?! Too bad there's not like, stuff for that here, by the looks of it...

[wtfox]

Yeah, people don't normally cook at daycare.

[headsplitter]

What a useless daycare, the babies have been abandoned... left to fend for themselves against a giant bear...

[ He just squats on the ground and stares into the dirt. Abandoned baby jail. ]

[wtfox]
