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.

...

[she glances over at him, contemplative]

[ercnerd]

[Feeling eyes on him, he glances back.]

What is it, Lila?

[wtfox]

...if they don't bring you back, whoever does get brought back can do things in your stead, right?

Is there anything in particular you want done? Or - anything in particular you want to pass on to anyone? A message or something?

[ercnerd]

. . . I want to know how Kainé is doing. There's something I have to verify with Rita, too.

[wtfox]

...okay. Then, whoever goes back can check on Kainé and... confirm that thing with Rita? Or try to get her to join up with whoever can contact the daycare to confirm with you directly.

[ercnerd]

[There's a brief pause before he sighs, running a hand through his hair.]

On second thought, neither case is urgent. I should be the one to talk to them . . . Forget what I said just now.

[wtfox]

...are you sure? 'Cause if it's possible for you to not have to wait, there's no reason to make yourself wait...

[ercnerd]

Kainé hasn't been caught yet. I'd rather not risk our intermediary's safety by putting her on edge. Besides, it'll be better for us to speak privately.

[wtfox]

...well, if you're sure.

[ercnerd]

Thanks for asking.

[wtfox]

Oh! ...you're welcome.
