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.

[he takes a breath.]

I'm not - going to just assume that. We've only ever had to kill one a week, and I don't think that's changed based on what we saw this trial. Byleth will be here tomorrow, and if the situation has changed at all she can tell us.

[headmt]

[He agrees with this plan forward, really. But.]

Think there's any reason to disbelieve what you've been told about that? Just for sake of playing devil's advocate.

[heartlands]

...What do you mean?

[headmt]

That what you and Otome and the rest were told when you were sent to kill.

Personally, I'm inclined to believe it. I'm one to fall on the side of likely the information where we aren't being brainwashed is the right one to follow. I'm only asking.

[heartlands]

[pretty firmly, which is echoed in his feelings:]

Hugo wouldn't lie about this. So if it's not true... [which he hates thinking about, wow] If it's not true, I don't know where the lie would be coming from.

[ercnerd]

Whether or not it's a lie, the consequences are real. The world doesn't want this information to get out.

[headmt]

This much is true, aye.

[lmao death noting adora.]

[headmt]

Alright. That's fair enough.

[That's fine. There was certainly no accusation towards Rupert there.]

Where'd Hugo say he learned it?

[heartlands]

...It's going to sound really stupid if I tell you, but I confirmed it. Kind of.

[hm]

[headmt]

I've been locked in a playpen for children after having my head cut off by a man with a lizard head. I think we're moved past stupid. Might as well share.

[heartlands]

[...]

He touched a magic crystal ball and all of that information, like, appeared in his head. And I touched it and the same thing happened, so.

[headmt]

[i see]

The way all good information is learned, yeah.

[heartlands]

I warned you.

[headmt]

I'm not joking! I've learned a lot of important things about my life from a magic crystal ball!

[his emotions betray him. He is, in fact, likely joking.]

[heartlands]

It was a really important and serious moment!

[stop]

[souheki]

[Lan Wangji unfortunately is not side-eying this and is just writing it down but I, pixi, am closing my eyes]

[heartlands]

[mood]

[wtfox]

...but this world knows that Otome, at least, was trying to save people now.

[so.

that's a pretty big change, and a pretty recent development.]

I hope you're right, though. I really do.

[heartlands]

[it's clear from the sharp spike of alarm that he hadn't considered that, but—]

...I can ask Hugo about it. I don't know if he'll be able to tell me, but...

[wtfox]

...it probably can't hurt to try. The worst that can happen is he says "that's not something I can talk about," right?

[it's not like rupert's going to truthpunch him!]

I'd offer to come with you, but he can probably say even less if I was there, right...? Or maybe not, since you were able to tell us and it was fine here?

[heartlands]

I... actually don't know about that, either. I've been able to tell you guys everything he's told me, so I wouldn't think it would be an issue if you tried to get answers directly from him.

[wtfox]

...want me to come along when you ask, then? What's the saying, two heads are better than one?
