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.

Wow, the perfect fall accessory. Very fashion-forward of you.

[He came in for, uh. Doesn't matter. Don't worry about the way he keeps popping up in rooms like a ghost.]
sugarlumps: (every party is my party)

Everything I do is lumping fashion-forward.

[What, should hot guys just NOT appear before her wherever she goes?]

I am a delicate flower of a princess and if anyone tries to take advantage of that in this weird kidnapping thing I'M GONNA CUT THEM.
yourattention: (all i've thought about is how hard)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-05-30 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You tell 'em girl. I support your right to stab people whenever you want.

[Girls can and should stab people, as far as Connor's concerned.]

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-05-30 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, yeah, I don't have to, like, do it a LOT? But sometimes people think they can take advantage just cause I'm so lumping hot and nice and junk and I gotta get them to lay off.
yourattention: (you surprised me with that comic book)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-05-30 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
We should get you a taser. That'd be fun to watch.

[Let LSP have a taser!!! It'll be like every year on Extra Life when they taze Michael.]
sugarlumps: (I'm the best)

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-05-30 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
...That would be lumping amazing- I mean. I've totally had a tazer before, I know how to use them. I've tazed people before, it's definitely amazing. Have you seen one around here?
yourattention: (sincerely me!)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-05-30 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't, but if I do I will immediately hand it over to you because you deserve it way more than I do.

[Also because Connor himself isn't generally a violent person but he does like seeing other people live their truth.]
sugarlumps: (yeh)

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-05-30 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, lumpin' right I do!

[yes, good, feed the ego, this can't possibly end poorly]

You're a perceptive guy, I like you.
yourattention: (in those moments a)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-05-31 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[there's simply NO possible way this could go wrong]

I try. I'm Connor, by the way.
sugarlumps: (oh my glob)

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-05-31 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[no chance at all]

That's a great name, real great. I'm Lumpy Space Princess.
yourattention: (i never liked that sweater)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-05-31 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
["Oh, I love Chowder." - Connor, probably]

.... Can I just call you Princess? The whole thing's a bit much for, you know, everyday speech.
sugarlumps: (yeh)

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-05-31 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I think you can call me whatever you want.

[Yeah, this. This is happening. I'm so sorry.]

I mean it might get a little confusing with the other princesses here, but yeah! Like, as long as we remember it's a thing.
yourattention: (all you need is)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-05-31 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Connor, who absolutely doesn't realize what's going on now:]

Are there other princesses here? Huh, I didn't know that.
sugarlumps: (that sounds lame)

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-06-01 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I mean probably? Those girls have to be princesses of something, even if it's something real dumb.
yourattention: (all those demons that i couldn't let up)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-06-02 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well, one of them is an Emperess so I guess it makes sense that there's at least one other princess here. They all have actual names, though so it probably won't be a problem.

[personal profile] sugarlumps 2021-06-09 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, must not be princesses of anywhere real important, then.
yourattention: (i had moments)

[personal profile] yourattention 2021-06-09 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
I've never heard of them so..... yeah. Or, well, nowhere important that exists in my world at least.
