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.

[You know despite all of what's going on, this place looks really fun! And you know what's also fun? Whatever the fuck this stranger is doing with the sodas.]

I can't believe I never thought of mixing every soda together! Does it taste good?

Good's rather subjective. But it's certainly a lot of taste! Perfect for a refined palate like mine.

[Don't mind him, he's just going to down some like he's doing shots.]

And it should certainly wake me up. One would hope, anyway, with how much sugar's in here.

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-05-30 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I do like sugar.

[He hesitates a tiny bit.]

Can I try some?

[Discord gives Spongebob a quick look over.

...This is either going to be underwhelming or absolutely hilarious. He'll roll those dice, sure.]


Well, you look like someone who can handle their sugar! Please, by all means.

[Here you go bud.]
employeeoftheyear: (Head in the bubbles)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-05-30 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

[Spongebob grabs the glass and takes a sip.

In an instant his eyes budge out of his skull and he starts vibrating uncontrollably. He's practically a blur with all this vibrating.]


Th-this is g-g-great! C-can I-I-I have some m-more?

[Oh, time to pour more soda, then. Maybe dump a sugar packet in there too. This is everything he could've hoped for.]

I'm nothing if not generous, of course.
employeeoftheyear: (And my feet on the ground)

[personal profile] employeeoftheyear 2021-05-31 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
W-wow, y-you're such a g-great friend!

[He takes a nother sip and you can barely see him now.]

W-wow I suddenly really wanna go j-jellyfishing we should go jellyfishing and blow bubbles a-and run around w-we should do this right now let's do it.

[Are you happy, Discord?]
disharmonizes: (030)

[personal profile] disharmonizes 2021-05-31 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ecstatic.]

That sounds like a great idea. In fact, you should go invite everyone. I'm sure they'll be thrilled.

A-aye aye s-sir!

[He runs off at a manic speed.

What have you done]

Ta-ta, make bad choices, have fuuuuuun.
