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.

Not yet! The bear said this is where we needed to go to appeal our expulsions, so I thought maybe I'd find something to help with that, but so far it's just office supplies...

Appeal?

[do you really want to go back to murder school?]

There a form for that or somethin'?

[mostly she wants to get the hell out of daycare]

Dunno. I've never been expelled before, so I'm not sure if there's supposed to be, like, a form, or if you're supposed to make an appointment with the administration, or what.

But usually they've got manuals and stuff for newer employees, soooo I thought maybe we could find out what the process was.

Can't hurt. I'm getting real sick of daycare.

[and VEGETABLES NOW TOO?!]

Huh, visitation passes?

[...

He'll fill one out for Luke.]

Me too!

[let! them! out!]

...if they can find a way in, there's a way out, right? So maybe we can just walk out with them when they go.

Wouldn't that be real convenient?

[He absolutely does not think it would work this way, but he also doesn't say that.

But the vibes are like "haha, this place sucks it won't be that easy."]

[her vibes are "fuck this place i want to beat up everyone involved with this school

but she's smiling]

It would be! The sooner we can get out of here, the better. [...] But I guess nothing about this place is convenient, so we'll just need to be as thorough as possible in searching any new rooms we get access to so we can figure out what to do next.

And we can start taking notes in pen instead of crayon.

[A tiny little bit of dignity when they have to suffer through daycare.]

If we find enough different colored pens to tell who's who, anyway!

[He holds up one of those pens that have like four colors in them.]

Good start.

That'll do!

How many people we got now? 10?

That sounds about right.

So this is four.

Just need t' find six more.

...we'll probably need more than that, though.

[she's got Very Resigned Vibes now, but there's an undercurrent of anger.]

Because it's not like the killing is going to stop.

If we keep to this pattern, two a week, for the next four weeks.

[It could get worse. There's always the possibility of it getting worse.]

Three. Two victims, and then whoever ends up getting expelled...

[One very heavy sigh.

He hates it here.]

Ain't like death doesn't happen back home, but it's not because of some cursed ass school.

...yeah, people die back home too. [her vibes are not as bothered as you'd expect from a 14 year old. maybe she's just desensitized to it because of how frequently akuma attacks happen?] But... if it's because of Hawkmoth, they usually come back after his victims are stopped.

It's not like this.

People don't come back, at home. [He's 600, he knows this. It's just a fact of life, he doesn't really have feelings on this one way or another.]

...they don't in most circumstances back home, either.

[but like. children's cartoons don't show permadeath, usually.]

But I guess this isn't "most circumstances," either, since we're still here. So... we'll go back.

Just gotta get t' the end of the year.

's weird, waking up with no injuries.

[He can definitely heal himself, but he doesn't remember doing a thing after being STOMPED to death.]

...I wonder why that is, anyway? Like... yeah, I'm grateful that my bones aren't broken, but how? Did the bear heal us or something?

I'm not sure the bear does anything besides find his keys.

[a spike of annoyance, then - ]

Where is it even finding them? We searched the whole place when I got here and found nothing.
