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.

[heartlands]

[thinking, thinking...]

Do we even have anything that could pry it open?

[wtfox]

...we've got hands!

[heartlands]

[...]

It probably can hurt to try in this case, but sure, let's go for it!

[wtfox]

[to the elevator!!



they are probably going to regret this.]

[heartlands]

[they are definitely going to regret this. anyways, he's trying to dig his fingers into the tiny space where the elevator doors meet and tug.]

...Yeah, I can already tell this isn't going to work.

[annoyed! and a little bit sad.]

[wtfox]

[she does the same!! she even breaks a nail. yikes.

anyway, rage vibes.]

I hate this place.

[heartlands]

—Oh, your nail...

[concerned vibes! but then he's joining in that anger.]

...Maybe next week.

[wtfox]

[just. rage vibes. she is so angry. all the time.]

We'll see what happens. [she frowns down at her hand.] Maybe I should ask the bear for a nail file.

[heartlands]

[he - blinks, and there's a wave of confusion, because he's definitely been frustrated since coming here, but this level of Mad is kind of unusual for him. he shakes it off, though, frowning.]

That's basically the least he could do. It doesn't hurt or anything, right?

[that same light concern.]

[wtfox]

No, it doesn't hurt.

[honestly Mad is just baseline for her.]

...I guess I'll go ask. Be right back!

[heartlands]

Okay!

[he'll wait!]

[wtfox]

[she comes back later with schrodinger's manicure because i don't want to have to wait for us to keep threading]

Okay, well, what do we do next? Is there anything else we can try?

[heartlands]

[with a lot of frustration, and some unhappiness:]

...I think we might just have to wait. We don't have anything that can pick a lock, do we?

[wtfox]

...we might be able to find paperclips? It's, like, an office, so...

[heartlands]

What's a paperclip?

[wtfox]

It's a flexible little metal thing that holds papers together so you don't lose them.

[heartlands]

Oh! And you can use it to get past locks?

[wtfox]

Yeah! Well, in theory. I see it happen in TV shows and comic books all the time.

[heartlands]

TV shows?

[someone explained movies to him but i don't remember if this came up rip]

[wtfox]

Yeah! Did you see any of the stuff they were showing in the SUB? That was like, all trashy reality TV, but there are some shows that are a lot better.

[heartlands]

Oh, those!

[there's a pause before there's a definite sense of disappointment.]

Oh, no, I'd completely forgotten... Now I'm never going to find out who he gave a rose to...

[rupert]

[wtfox]

[


she stares at him. her ever-present Rage ebbs away to be replaced with very definite ??? vibes.]

There are reruns. Or, like, DVDs of all the seasons. We could ask one of the dorm heads to bring it and a portable DVD player, maybe.

[heartlands]

[gasps... she'll get some excited vibes, because he is embarrassing.]

We can have a movie night that's better than Cats...

[wtfox]

[...amused vibes! wow.]

The bar is not exactly high there.

[heartlands]

I wouldn't know! But hopefully I can find out.
