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.

[Honestly, Discord's pretty down for letting Salieri leave since he's got other shit to do, more trouble to get into, etc., BUT.

He will just throw the book after him.]


Don't forget your book!

[AND BOY DOES THE BOOK FIND IT'S MARK

in fact, it smacks Salieri right in the middle of his back, causing him to stumble slightly--at which point he's stopping, stock still in the middle of the cafeteria. For a moment, he simply stands there, hands clenching into fists, feeling like he's about to start screaming--]

[a moment passes

and another

and Salieri slowly lets out a breath, and turns around, stooping to retrieve his book without even bothering to look at Discord lest he do something INCREDIBLY stupid and childish, like throw it back, and then walks out of the cafeteria with incredibly measured steps]

[And this little shit just waves goodbye.]
