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.

[battling]

I'll eat a fruit, damn!

[Also aggressively shaking his head. Noooo, no veggie!!!]

[headsplitter]

Okay, thoughts:

I sandwich a vegetable between two fruits. [ If I put the carrot between two slabs of watermelon, it is a sandwich. ]

[battling]

What the fuck is wrong with you.

I ain't gonna eat that either!

[headsplitter]

C'mon! I'm trying to be helpful here so that you don't give off the vibes like you've been shot with a gun just looking at a vegetable! That's a glaring weakness right there!

[battling]

Nobody's ever gonna shoot me with a carrot!

[headsplitter]

Well, I am now! If you piss me off, I will shoot you in the ass with a carrot!

[battling]

With what fucking gun!

[headsplitter]

I'll figure it out! There's a talking bear, there can be multiple weird things!

[ HE'S STILL WAVING THE CARROT. ]

[battling]

Sometimes animals just talk!

[HE IS STILL MOVING AWAY.]

[headsplitter]

What?! No they don't!

Braaadley!! [ COMING FOR HIM. ]

[battling]

[HE'S RUNNING INTO THE DAYCARE.]

[headsplitter]

[ BUMBLING AFTER. ]

You can't subsist only on animal crackers!

[battling]

I ain't gotta eat vegetables!

[headsplitter]

Ah... you're gonna die of scurvy... I'll miss you...

[battling]

Fuck you I ain't dyin' twice! I said I'll eat a fruit!

[headsplitter]

I'm just trying to be helpful and I'm being shunned! [ Now they're in the daycare and Aikawa just falls to the ground on his hands and knees. Doom and gloom. Anyway I hate our tags. ]

[battling]

[I'm living for this.

Meanwhile Bradley like... plasters himself to the furthest wall.]

Pick a different way t' be helpful!

[headsplitter]

N-no...

This is the only way...

Bradley...

[ My friend. Buddy ol' pal. ]

[battling]

You've known me for one day.

[headsplitter]

Hey! [ HEAD SNAPPING UP. ] Friendships can happen on a whim, you know? My partner, s'not like I knew him for long either before we hit it off!

[battling]

Your partner?

[him?]

[headsplitter]

Yeah. [ He's getting up, dusting both hiimself off and the carrot (gingerly). Still holding it as he looks back at Bradley. ]

His name's Risu. I met him at school. We're best friends.

[battling]

[He's not eating that carrot. He will die a second time before he eats that carrot. You cannot make him eat a carrot.]

Yeah? It's good t' have people like that.

[headsplitter]

[ Pleeeaaaase Bradley please. ]

Yeah.

[ There's an emotional sensation. It's partway fondness, but a lot of something else -- it's really hard to pick through. A sensation akin to a black hole, enveloping darkness made into emotion. ]

Too bad he isn't here...

[battling]

[If your name was Nero Turner he might think about it, but no he will not eat a carrot for Aikawa.

What a weird feeling.

Bradley's own is lingering fondness, a strong affection, an overwhelming amount of devotion, resignation.]

's better that my partner ain't here.
