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.

[Hm...]

Then we still don't know how to proceed, even if we make it back to the campus.

We-we have to take it one step at a time. Don't you think?

[A little nod; he's Pessimistic but he's also Bitterly Determined and has an enormous grudge against this story.]

Yes - you're correct. And it will be easier to explore our options once there are no barriers in communication.

Yeah. Plus... I mean, I don't know about you, but I know a lot of people here who've been in situations like this before. I don't know if the story picked us thinking we'd be easy targets, but it's going to find out it just means we know how to deal with it's bullshit.

[AND YET, THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN WEEKS AND THEY ARE STILL STRUGGLING SO MUCH.]

I suppose that is one potential advantage we have. If nothing else, there's our tenacity...

[LISTEN WE GOT ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS WE'RE DOING OK.]

We're still here, one way or the other. If the story wanted to defeat us it should have killed us properly.

[WAITING FOR THEM TO DIE TWICE AND BADEND!! COME ON WE CAN DO IT.]

I wonder if it lacks the ability to do so, or if even this is part of its plan.
