Where: Everywhere
What: School is in

[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

[checking out the auditorium... locked team-colored doors, how legit! this is not a happy face]

[GRIMA CHRIST where did this kid come from? Well, he's standing behind you now!]

...In a place like this? No, not particularly.

[anoblecaws]

It doesn't seem that bad so far?

[Always looking on the bright side, this one.]

[starrytear]

...

I hope it stays that way.

I'm Rue, on the Music team. What is your team called?

[anoblecaws]

I'm Henry, and I guess I'm team Drama! That's what it said on the door, anyway.

Have you done this before? [There were a few vets on the drama team, but he didn't get much info out of them except that people aren't supposed to murder each other, which Henry thinks is a really stupid rule.]

[starrytear]

[nods]

Yes. It wasn't exactly like this, but it was similar enough to... Mm. Have you been in a situation like this before, Henry-san?

[ immediately moving closer! she looks a bit . . . aged? it's quite subtle, the physical changes, but she has more muscle in her and she's moving more like a person and less like a doll ]

[ a person who is very excited to see someone, in fact ]

[starrytear]

[running to meet her when she sees her react, HUGGING!!!!!!!11 all the hugging]

Rena...!!

[takencontrol]

Fox is... Fox is here too? Then... He managed to leave the Bigger Picture, too...!

[experiencepoints]

[Similarly looking...]

So we're going to be barred from interacting in games, it seems like.

[starrytear]

[looks at her, then nods]

Have you been in a situation like this before?

[experiencepoints]

Yeah. You too?

[starrytear]

Yes. The Library wasn't exactly like this, but it's similar enough...

I'm Rue, on the Music team.

[experiencepoints]

Library, huh... You're from the same place as Belt- Macaron, then.

Nightingale. On Math.

[starrytear]

Macaron... Yes, she was on Teal, our teams were on good terms. Then she's here?
