once more with feeling [act 3]

You awake in an unfamiliar bed.

It’s comfortable enough, sure, but it’s certainly not yours. The room, too, is unfamiliar, especially in such heavy darkness. There seems to have been a great effort put into making it a livable space, with fuzzy rugs laid over linoleum, beds arranged as best to fit (and one bunk bed per dorm, rip whoever has the bottom bunk), and a single desk. You've also got individually labelled trunks; if you look inside yours, you'll find a yearbook with mostly blank pages, as well as a few with some interesting information. But even with all these changes it’s clear this room started it’s life as a classroom, every window hidden behind heavy dark green curtains.

To add to the strangeness of it all, your clothes have been swapped for some kind of uniform. It, though fitting your body perfectly, might feel a bit odd to some of you, as the body you have isn’t quite the same as it was before you mysteriously fell unconscious. The other important thing to note is the people in the other beds around you, all wearing the same color-coded uniform.

The hallway outside the dorms is narrow but well-lit, with fresh white walls and some scattered posters advertising some kind of midweek club meeting. The hallway goes on until, for the more contemporary of you, the pieces start to fall together as to your location: a school. Once you leave your rooms you’re free to wander as you wish but pinned up on a corkboard just outside the cafeteria there’s framed information that you might find helpful. If you explore further into the other rooms, in fact, you'll see there's an identical copy outside all of them.

In the lobby there are linoleum floors and fluorescent lighting, and a pair of glass doors that appear to lead outside. You can see out of both of them that the sun is shining brightly and there’s definitely more to see in the distance but the glass is unbreakable; you can't get out that way right now. A rolling metal sheet blocks off the hallway to the west. For the moment, both doors leading outside are locked.

It looks like you’re stuck. But hey - at least you aren’t alone.

Well he's not the kinda guy who likes hiding. I think he likes to compensate for his size by being really loud, so he's bound to show his face sooner or later!

Besides, I still have a hard time seeing how kidnapping a bunch of random people will get him closer to his goal, especially if he would only need me.

[Varian raises a brow at that. You know what, he's gotten this far down the rabbit hole. Might as well see where else it leads.]

Why's that?
employeeoftheyear: (But there is more to me)

Well, I assume the reason why Plankton would wanna kidnap us like this is for ransom, and I can't imagine a bunch of random people would want Mr. Krabs want to give up the recipe.

... Actually I'm not sure if Plankton kidnapping me would make Mr. Krabs wanna pay the ransom.

[It's fine.]

[That's....SAD...Mr. Krabs what the hell]

Aw, I'm sure that isn't true...he'd probably at least try, right?
employeeoftheyear: (Then I can finally say I've done it)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-06-10 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
He might! But, uh [He fidgets.] he did sell my soul once for 62 cents.

...y...you're joking, right?

[Please be a joke.]
employeeoftheyear: (That is all I always wanted)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-06-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not! I was even the one who made the bet that Mr. Krabs wouldn't do it!

He... apologized right after but it still wasn't nice of him.

[He pauses for a moment, but he quickly perks up.]

But he's a great boss otherwise! I love working for him!

[Smile smile]

[SPONGEBOB, PLEASE LOVE YOURSELF]

Spongebob...I say this with all due respect.

Your boss kindof sucks.
