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.

[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: you might be wondering if that was a typo ... it's not (i got locked into my place today)

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

What's a paperclip?
wtfox: we may or may not have lost your car (Default)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a flexible little metal thing that holds papers together so you don't lose them.

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-07-05 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! And you can use it to get past locks?
wtfox: we may or may not have lost your car (Default)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Well, in theory. I see it happen in TV shows and comic books all the time.

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-07-05 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
TV shows?

[someone explained movies to him but i don't remember if this came up rip]
wtfox: with a cannon! (we blew shit up too)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-07-05 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
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: because they had and i quote "calamari on the hoof" (you abruptly started screaming)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[


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.

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

We can have a movie night that's better than Cats...
wtfox: and no one found me until the morning but i have fifty missed calls (apparently i disappeared)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[...amused vibes! wow.]

The bar is not exactly high there.

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-07-05 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know! But hopefully I can find out.
wtfox: i'll be your captain for today's voyage (welcome aboard the s.s. struggle)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-05 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's ask the dorm heads then! If they can visit, maybe they can bring stuff with them.
heartlands: also kyuu who cropped these and saved my talentless self (pic#14961324)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-07-06 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good! I'll ask Viola. Chad might have a heart attack if I even bring up something fun around him.

[that's said very affectionately though]
wtfox: i hope you have enough room in your car for me and a honda civic front bumper (hey)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-06 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Sally let me borrow some DVDs once! I'll ask her too.

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-07-06 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Neat! I'm... assuming a DVD is some kind of movie?
wtfox: we may or may not have lost your car (Default)

[personal profile] wtfox 2021-07-06 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's something that a movie is saved on so you can watch it wherever you can find something that can play it, yeah.
