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.

[wtfox]

Yeah. That's a good plan.

[battling]

What d'ya wanna say.

"We're ok in the admin building"?

[headsplitter]

Can you use special characters? Liiike, 'We're OK, at-mark Admin'?

[battling]

[Stares blankly at him.

He does not have those characters in his world.]

[headsplitter]

Like, crushing in non-alphabet characters that mean stuff to shorten the message. Like b-r-b! T-t-y-l. That's stuff I learned, isn't that fun.

[battling]

[Blank.

Confusion.]

[headsplitter]

Boy, when I know more shit than you that's probably not a good sign!

[battling]

We don't have phones 'n shit where I'm from either.

[wtfox]

[she thinks about that for a second, then shakes her head]

I'm not sure we should mention the admin building, actually. At least, not yet. Not until we can get something more useful out of it.

[headmt]

How about ... [Thinking.

Words are hard. Um.]

Everyone okay. No extraneous killing.

[heartlands]

Definitely the second part.

[headmt]

[And for anyone who might be pushed to make the same mistake as Beau:]

Careful with questions.

[heartlands]

[there's a little flash of anger, though it's not directed at molly at all.]

...Yeah. I think that's a good idea.

[wtfox]

[imagine if they say everyone's okay and adora is just gone]

I think we only get one sentence - so as long as we can combine those two things into one, that sounds good to me. [a beat] Although given the whole assimilation thing, I wonder if...

[should


should more people be dying. her vibes are very unsure.]

[headsplitter]

Do you think they'll suffer the same thing if we're the ones who try to send stuff about why the killings happen?

[battling]

Do you really want to risk it?

[headsplitter]

Nah. Just asking and catching opinions. We can't get in trouble for at least saying we're okay despite dying though, right?

[wtfox]

Rupert can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the problem isn't that they would know, it's that something about this world would know they're trying to prevent the assimilation.

So if we put it on the marquee, it'll be pretty obvious.

[headsplitter]

Oh. [ Tsk tsk. ] So whatever's trying to keep everyone, it has a rest day on Thursday night for whatever unknown dumb reason. If killing is what sets people free from here though, it also kinda feels counterproductive to kill people for finding out? Is that just me?

[headmt]

That seems pointlessly cruel and unnecessary, so, probably?

[heartlands]

Yes.

[headmt]

[lowe voice: stop catradora forever

molly just makes a bit of a face at that.]

As it stands, until we know one way or another on that, probably best to err on the side of less murder than absolutely necessary for now. Just my opinion.

[Suddenly he's chatty and has opinions?]

[wtfox]

[she nods]

That's probably for the best - I just, you know, if it's safer here, then... [well. she doesn't know! she shrugs.] There's a lot we don't know, but it looks like they're learning things over there.

So, the more of them who are over there to learn things safely, the better.

[heartlands]

...You wonder if what?

[wtfox]

...I wonder if it's going to turn into a thing where more people have to die in order for them to be safe, only there won't be enough people from your group to save them.
