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.

Maybe? I don't know what the rewards were this last week. [ 'cause, y'know. he died. ] But Manwol said something about one of her powers from an earlier week being something she could manipulate emotions with.

Stands to reason this could be a more blunt version of that.

[wtfox]

Well... the decorations make it look like it's supposed to be Valentine's Day soon, so I guess, 'tis the season and all...

[chevaliered]

'Tis the season for non-consensual, mind-warped romance?

[ he's not sold on it. ]

[wtfox]

It's pretty sketchy when you put it that way, but if they're sticking to a theme or something, Cupid's arrows or whatever would fit...

[chevaliered]

I mean it’s still pretty sketchy, theme or not. But… I can see the logic?

[wtfox]

It's not great! I guess the whole love at first sight thing is only cute in stories, not real life.

[chevaliered]

That's called lust, sorry to say.

[wtfox]

Is this the part where I pretend to be scandalized?

[chevaliered]

No. You're a teen?

[wtfox]

[she giggles]

Good, 'cause I didn't really want to pretend anyway.

[chevaliered]

We were all teens once. We've been there.

[wtfox]

In theory, anyway!

[chevaliered]

... I'm pretty sure we were all teens once, Lila.

[wtfox]

No, that was about the "being there" part. I'm pretty sure some people on this campus haven't experienced even a single moment of attraction to anything other than, like, food.

[chevaliered]

...




....... I mean, yeah. Good point. Or some of them are so deep in denial they're full on doggy paddling.

[wtfox]

You can say that again!

[chevaliered]

Kind of exhausting, huh? Some people here have gotta be into the concept of a little kissing for fun, right?

[wtfox]

Oh, they probably are, but maybe they just don't want to risk getting turned down?

[chevaliered]

Fortune favours the brave and the bold. Probably.

[wtfox]

I wonder how that's working out for them!

[she glances in the general direction of the baby monitors]

[chevaliered]

[ cheerfully: ] Great for someone, apparently. [ there's no sad there, i thought this was the trial watching part honestly. ]

[wtfox]

[she hums the wedding march]
