GRAVEYARD...... 2!
graveyardstudents 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.

[A shitty one! But he's hit his Sakyou Says Fuck allowance of the game, so he'll leave that part unsaid. That said, with a bit of a wry air of almost-kinda-humor:]
I will say that I had hoped to find at least a moment of rest, but I suppose I will have to leave the true enjoyment of these kiddie pools and mud pits to you.

Anyway, there's absolutely a fierce look at that, because he wants very little more than to give this story a form so he can torture it to death! Yeehaw.]
I am, yes. It would seem that there is still ample work to be done... As others have said, I won't rest until a way home for all is secured.
no subject
Aikawa just shrugs -- even if his thoughts aren't so carefree. Though, granted, it's kind of hard to read his thoughts anyway. He just finger-guns with one hand, at least. ]
Now there's an attitude I can get on board with. Faaantastic, I was gonna be worried if you woke up sad instead. I'm not so good at dealing with those.
no subject
Anyway, Sakyou is sad, but Sakyou's just sad all the time so it's fine. The two things he has more of than Sad are Rage and Hate! And he shares those much easier than he shares any sort of depressos.]
I'm certain it's a difficult thing, having to receive those who have died... [The wake-up call isn't entirely the worst, but also, it is still Bad.] --But yes. I would rather put my energy toward finding a way to get our hands on this story and return every ounce of suffering that it wrought.
no subject
Well. It's always gonna be sad that anyone dies, but I don't think it's that hard to 'receive' you guys here. It means you're alive still in some way. It would be way sadder if you didn't show up at all.
no subject
...That hasn't happened, yes?
no subject
[ A withering thought, like static. It makes no sense. ]
Nah.
no subject
...May I ask you a question?
no subject
no subject
...You are not the person Caiman was afraid of, are you?
[The one inside of himself that he'd spoken of, in those last moments they had to talk to one another.]
no subject
No.
...I shouldn't be.
[ 'But what do I know? I don't know anything anymore. Who am I?' ]
no subject
Oh no, though. THAT'S probably a bad thing huh... That's definitely not a good thing to hear over the mental radio, anyway! Sakyou's immediately frowning, looking both concerned and apologetic.]
—I apologize. I didn't mean to ask something troubling.
no subject
-- No. [ Quickly enough. ] ...No, you didn't do anything. It's just -- something bad happened last week... either way, no. Just caught up in thoughts, I wouldn't kill anyone.
[ 'Does that make it any better, though?' ]
no subject
Oh no, though. THESE ARE SAD THOUGHTS. He sure didn't mean to bring up any negative experiences, and he's not exactly sure what to say here that might be of any help.]
We heard that those of you here were also being whisked away onto field trips... Is that what happened to you?
no subject
Oh... yeah. It was me, Bradley, Crow, and Rupert. It was, uh... we had a time, I guess you could say.
[ He waves it off though!! ]
But don't worry about it, it's past stuff now.
no subject
...If you should say so. [A little nod. He knows how it goes... Sometimes you're unleashed from CYOA and immediately never wish to speak of it again.] But I hope you were able to get something out of it, for whatever you underwent.
no subject
Uh... we got a paper? Like, the ones everyone keeps getting, with the big blank hole in them. Think Lila shared that with the living when she went over to talk in the communications thing.
Hopefully, that was actually of help to you.
[ 'CAUSE GOD. Overall it was just super hammy and weird, but Aikawa went through a personal attack on that CYOA. ]
no subject
Ah— It was, yes. Every bit of information helped when we were attempting to organize our options and look at what we wished to do moving forward.
[So at least... his suffering helped... That was exactly like his last CYOA too though, wow! Good work team, getting sniped by personal attacks in the midst of shitposts. Very funny that Dimitri going feral and attacking him in theirs was just a precursor to what would happen the following Thursday.]
Thank you for the hard work you've put in to things. You and everyone else here.
no subject
But I'm crying, the battle of the married couples... Dimileb wins because both sides of Mollykyou have died... ]
Yeah... well. Dunno if we really did a whole lot, but we tried to do what we could. [ He sighs at any rate and rubs his temples. ] Hopefully it all comes together to something that makes some damn sense.
no subject
We shall see soon enough, I suppose... [And then wow! The next 48 hours sure do happen so much. But for now, he'll finally push the blanket off and stand up, glancing down at himself and his very not-crispy body with a sigh. How surreal.]
Well, then - I think I should take the time to get familiar with this place, while I have it.
no subject
Yep, seems like a good idea to me. For the record, not a whole lot to see out here by the actual 'daycare' portion; if you wanna actually see stuff, I suggest a trip through the way too big, super pink doors right into Administration.
no subject
Thank you for the tip, then... And for the greeting, as well. It's good to meet you properly, Aikawa-san.
