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.

[ ah to live in a school dorm full of lesbians, occasionally having to deal with a giraffe, ]

It's... the thing where they take troubled youths and try to scare the delinquent out of them. It sucks!

Oh. [Certainly not anything she's heard of, then. Or what she had expected.]

Certainly not that, then. I have never been one for delinquency.

I haven't been a perfect student, but my parents sure aren't the type to put me in something like this.

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-05-31 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yet the fact remains, someone is the type. Whether it's meant for a laugh, or for a serious challenge, someone had the time and ability to gather us all without the memory of it having been done to us.

Yyyyup.

[ She hates this! ]

Exciting times here at murder school.

Well... At least the company seems to be pleasant thus far.

Haven't run into anyone too garbage yet?

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-05-31 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Aside from whoever orchestrated this mess and put me in a room full of men? [She shakes her head.] No.

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-05-31 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oof. We have a couple guys in our room, but at least it's not the whole thing.
mayavericks: (If You Have the Resolve)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-05-31 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's certainly a change of pace. I come from an all-girls school. I can't remember the last time I ever spoke to a man, even.

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-05-31 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, fancy. I'm from a public school in Chicago, so... definitely not that. We got boys everywhere.

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-05-31 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds... Unfortunate.

Eh, some of them are alright. Big enough sample size, you know how it is.
mayavericks: (Default)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-05-31 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sample size?

[She does not know how it is.]
fourbutts: (37)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-05-31 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... number of things you're looking at. It's a stats thing.
mayavericks: (I Have No Need)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-05-31 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
No, I understand that. I just don't know how it applies in this case?

If you get enough boys in a building, one or two of them turn out to be decent.

[ there's two, it's damien and aaron, and the latter is only valid on probation because cady likes him ]

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-05-31 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I suppose that may be true.

Time will only tell if that's true here, though.

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-01 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they've got an uphill battle ahead of them.

[ Like... sorry, dudes. ]
