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.

Someone who peaked in high school and is really upset about it?

That's ridiculous! Surely no one can be that petty...!

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-05-31 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I mean I have known some pretty petty people.

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-05-31 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
...Would they really do this?

[Maybe Janis knows who did this!



Ok, even she, as the absolutely young and happy new wife that she is, knows this is a long shot, but anything is worth trying at this point.]

... I don't think Regina George cares about me enough anymore to do this, let alone all of you.
wanderlusttitania: (her learning is appalling)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-01 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Regina George...The wife of a king? Or...

[Look, Regina is Latin for king, it's a distinction to be made!]
fourbutts: (49)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-01 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, god no, just...

[ And music starts up: ]

Her name is Regina George
And she is a massive deal


[ She sings, in a deeply mocking tone. ]

Rich girl who goes to my school. Definitely has the money and the ambition to kidnap people, but I'm not exactly the first person she'd cart off to the George Family Gulag.
wanderlusttitania: (ah)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-01 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[And she responds with a curious tone]

So she thinks herself a queen
Even though she isn't real..ly?


. . .

[What just happened

oh well]


My goodness, that sounds abrupt and arbitrary to do, though...!
fourbutts: (12)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-02 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, something like that.

[ She shrugs. ]

Eh, you know. Rich kids. But I have just enough good will saved towards Regina George to say she didn't do this.
wanderlusttitania: (that's not possible)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-02 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh goodness, I certainly wouldn't ever think of so awful! That fact someone wuld think of doing that, in the day and age...that's so...wrong!

[yup



she's admitting she's rich]
fourbutts: (14)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-03 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ eh, she's sure some people out there are rich and don't suck. maybe. or at the least she's polite enough not to be weird about it. But not too polite to say: ]

I mean... yeah, it is. It's kidnapping.
wanderlusttitania: (this knife)

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-06-03 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Then...maybe we're not meant to...

[Motions to the rules.]

Maybe this is a threat? As a means to get ransom?
