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.

Austria, correct. And...I shall take your words into consideration. [yeah he's totally going to be using the title lmao]

Aside from all this...you said you might know someone that could pick these locks?
comeandfindme: (🌲 never gonna stop until we)

[ fucking figures smh ]

Oh! Yeah, Connor. The guy with the longish wavy hair and like...really sharp cheekbones. If anyone here knows how, I bet it's him.

[that description sounds familiar, and not just because he's read the Yearbook like twelve times already]

...I see. It is certainly worth an ask.

Do you know where he is?
comeandfindme: (drop!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-05-30 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhhh... Not right now? We split up after the makeshift battering ram didn't work.

[ Naturally! ]
violentenvies: purrahms @ tumblr (01 How could this happen to me)

The aforementioned training weight, I assume. [a small huff of a sigh because it wouldn't be polite to sigh LOUDLY obvs]

I do wonder if there is some place to perhaps make an announcement. Otherwise going about and simply searching could take some time.
comeandfindme: (four!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-05-30 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Completely straight-faced, Peregrine replies: ] Oh, no, we used one of the trunks.

[ Anyway. ]

Maybe he's back by the dorms? Ugh, if there was a central hub... Maybe waiting in the hall outside the gym. That seems to be the focal point of the building.

[the bit about the trunks causes Salieri to blink, once, but...let's be honest, not the weirdest thing he's heard today.

Moving on.]


That might be our best option at this point for finding someone who could perhaps pick locks, which is, as far as I can tell, our best option for getting out of here.
comeandfindme: (make another crack it doesn't matter)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-05-31 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I can look for him if you stay here. Think you can spot him if you see him? There aren't many teenage boys here.
violentenvies: qu-r @ tumblr (07 I just wanna scream)

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-05-31 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
I can certainly try. Long wavy hair and distinct cheekbones, you said?
comeandfindme: ((left! right!))

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-02 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods. ]

And black nail polish.

[personal profile] violentenvies 2021-06-02 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
And black nail polish. [somehow, he is aware of what that is, at lest, because he is also wearing it]

I'll keep an eye out for such a person.
comeandfindme: (🦌 i'm moving the goal up)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-02 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And Peregrine gives him a thumbs up and goes to look for Connor. ]

[lol and the opening ceremony announcement probably happens before they can regroup rip to this plan]
comeandfindme: (break down)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-02 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ they fucking tried, rip them ]
