GRAVEYARD

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.

[ hmmm indeed. ]

Trying to figure out how to make a flower crown.
wtfox: to tase anyone not wearing a mask (it should be perfectly legal)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[she plops down on the ground next to him]

Have you ever made one before?
chevaliered: pixiv ID 15413430 (002)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-05 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. Nier made one the other week though. Figured I could try and copy what he did and see what I end up with.
wtfox: you might be wondering if that was a typo ... it's not (i got locked into my place today)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh... [she hums.] Did he just tie the stems together? I think I remember reading about a different way to do it somewhere, but it was a while ago...
chevaliered: (179)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-05 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no clue. He had bigger flowers, if that made any difference.
wtfox: your ex tried to add me on facebook (speaking of dumpster fires)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the stems might be more important, since that's how you get them to stay together... hey, can I try something?
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (004)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-05 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Go for it. I have literally no clue what I'm doing.
wtfox: we may or may not have lost your car (Default)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[she takes the flowers!!


and cuts a tiny hole in the stem of one with a fingernail, before sliding the stem of the other through it.]


That should keep them together.

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-05 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ooooh. aaahh. ]

Ohhh. Like threading a needle?
wtfox: i'll be your captain for today's voyage (welcome aboard the s.s. struggle)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, kind of like that!

[she hands the flowers back to him]
chevaliered: (076)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-05 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he will accept. thank. ]

... I think my hands might be a bit too big to make delicate little holes in flower stems, but I'll give it a try.
wtfox: so you could "re-trace your steps and figure out what happened" (you scattered cereal all over the floor)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[she wriggles her fingers]

Well, if you need help, just let me know!
chevaliered: (224)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-05 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wordlessly he just holds out the flowers to her. make him a CROWN ]
wtfox: so i'm following him and buying stuff that he's buying (i found a hot guy at the grocery store)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[she giggles and gets to work, then!



it's not the prettiest but she cobbles together a flower crown. it's fine.]
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (004)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-06 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ look, crow was just destroying the stems. she’s getting a round of applause either way. ]
wtfox: so you could "re-trace your steps and figure out what happened" (you scattered cereal all over the floor)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-06 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[once it's finished, she hands it back to him]

There you go!
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (025)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-06 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ tah daaaah ]

Well, you made much less of a mess of that than I was making.
wtfox: and no one found me until the morning but i have fifty missed calls (apparently i disappeared)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-06 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes having smaller hands helps, that's all! But I'm sure you would have figured it out eventually.
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (005)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-06 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Or ripped a few delicate stems in the process. Which I've already done.
wtfox: so i'm following him and buying stuff that he's buying (i found a hot guy at the grocery store)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-06 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you kind of have! But it's okay, it happens.
chevaliered: (199)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-07 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try not to be too broken up about it.
wtfox: so you could "re-trace your steps and figure out what happened" (you scattered cereal all over the floor)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-07 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
...well, you're guaranteed to be less broken up about it than the flowers!
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (005)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-07 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Lucky, lucky me. [ he manages to tie a couple of flowers together. wow!]
wtfox: at neo nazis (fruitcakes are only good for throwing)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-07 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[success! she applauds politely.]

Good work!
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (005)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2021-07-08 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Now to keep doing it until I’m a god at this, because there’s not much else to do!
