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.

[the warning is more than enough to get Salieri's attention, giving him enough time to notice a purple haired woman coming his direction with a chair--to which his eyes go wide, and he stumbles back out of the way just in time for her to go barreling past him with a chair.

Really, he can only stare, dumbfounded, a bit like watching a train wreck while it's happening but being unable to look away]

[Yeah, she manages to hit the doors pretty solidly? But this is a lightweight plastic school chair, and also these are magic indestructible murdergame doors, her attack just kind of bounces off.]

Augh- Lemme! The lump! OUTTA HERE!

[But she's taking a few more swings before giving up.]

[now that is a display he has certainly never seen out of anyone, so he'll just kind of...stand here, still watching, until she finally gives up

You should probably say something Salieri it's impolite to just stare]


...ah. That was...well. An effort.

[good job, master of words, a+]

Ugh, that was LAME is what it was.

[She huffs, sitting down on the chair and sullenly kicking the door once.]

You gonna try anything else or are you just gonna stand there?

[she angy]

[:| that that, Salieri folds his arms over his chest]

I highly doubt anything that I would deign to try at this juncture would measure up to the show of force you just exerted, mademoiselle.

[Okay. A few minor points for the French, but she's still annoyed.]

Well someone's got to lumping do something, I am not built for longterm captivity like this! It's BORING!

[Well...that's a choice of reason why being kidnapped and held prisoner is a less-than-favorable situation]

It...is that, certainly. I can't say that I am particularly fond of this situation either, however...it doesn't seem that the doors are going to be a viable way out just yet.

Well I can't break through a lumping wall and the windows don't actually lead anywhere.

The windows don't lead anywhere? [that'll get his attention] They look like they lead outside, do they not?
