GRAVEYARD...... 2!

graveyard

students in time out: 16

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.

[ercnerd]

Careless is a word for it . . .

[souheki]

[A nod.]

Thus my warning.

[But it looks like they’re just doing handstands so that’s fine.]

[ercnerd]

Do you want to join us?

[souheki]

[Hmmm.

He glances at the others, looking thoughtful.]

...For competition or training?

[ercnerd]

Why not both? The longer you hold out, the better training it'll be.

[souheki]

I have no interest in competing with you.

[Not here like this, anyway, though he seems like he's considering doing it for training...]

[ercnerd]

Then we can just spot each other. How's that?

[souheki]

[He tilts his head slightly.]

“Spot”?

[ercnerd]

It means we'll be watching and helping each other out.

[souheki]

[Oh. Well, in that case…]

Mm.

[He’s actually participating in something, it’s a miracle…]

[ercnerd]

[Frankly, even Sieghart is surprised.]

You've seen the others. Do you know how to do it?

[souheki]

Yes. I do handstands daily.

[He’s done them here, even! Though he does try and do them away from other people, so it’s not unusual that Sieghart hasn’t seen them.]

[ercnerd]

Just remember that you have to leave your head on the floor.

[This is a headstand, after all. He takes a step back.]

All right, let's see it.

[souheki]

Mm.

[More challenging, but he’s done it before! It’ll just take a little adjustment.]

Excuse me.

[Out of courtesy, always—but once he’s certain he’s moved to a safe spot and won’t kick anyone, he’ll get himself into a handstand! True to his word, it’s obviously very smooth and practiced, and he doesn’t seem to have any difficulty holding himself. He stays in handstand pose long enough to make sure he’s comfortably in the right position, then slowly and carefully lowers himself into a headstand.

Ta-daaaaa.]

[ercnerd]

[Watch and be amazed! Sieghart grins at Lan Wangji's graceful success before taking a step to the side.]

Oh, you make it look so easy. Then I'll just have to join you . . .

[He lowers himself to the floor, then all but rolls into a headstand.]

[souheki]

[Just two lads, hangin' out upside-down. Amazing.]

How long?

[ercnerd]

[Stunning.

Sieghart holds the position for another five seconds before dropping back to a stand.]

As long as you want. You know your body better than I do.
