Who: All y'all
When: Day 1 – Morning
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.]

[in Music blue, looking around quickly and cautiously as she tries to get her bearings.

who else is here?]

[goodbyenurse]

...Ferril? [Hi I was out getting deets.]

[cantstopthebeat]

[oh my god you know who I am and you look like a Teal and!!!]

—Macaron!

[goodbyenurse]

Good day to you. Well--as good as can be, considering.

I am with Math.

[cantstopthebeat]

Rue, Vanilla, and I are all on Music...

[goodbyenurse]

I see... I wonder if any others are here. Apparently you are not the first to have recognized me, either.

[cantstopthebeat]

—Who else recognized you? Is it someone from the Library?

[goodbyenurse]

Not at all. Apparently I lose my memory again and go by Belt at some point.

More of the same fare, really. I look forward to it.

[takencontrol]

[ in art pink, stopped in place ]

. . . Ferril!

[cantstopthebeat]

[oh no it's you oh no you're not on the same team, oh no everything.]

Rena! You're... you're here, too.

[takencontrol]

[ oh no ]

. . . yes, well. [ smiles, despite the situation ]

I couldn't leave you here by yourself, could I? . . . Fox is here too.

[cantstopthebeat]

[rushing over to hug her—though she pauses when she hears the name fox, and then in a rush:]

—He is? Really? Rue's here, too—

[takencontrol]

He is, he's in my team—ah? She's. . . here? Ah . . .

[ blinks, eyes full and wide even as her arms reach out to Ferril's hands ]

. . . why? Why here. . . ?

[cantstopthebeat]

[taking them, squeezing them]

We have Vanilla from Teal, too—and I don't know.

[anoblecaws]

[Whoa, that girl has cool hair. Yes, this is Henry's reason for talking to her.]

Looking for something?

[cantstopthebeat]

[totally legit]

I'm just—Exploring. That's all.

[anoblecaws]

Hey, me too! Let's explore together!

[cantstopthebeat]

Where do you want to go? I was going to try to find places for food.

Oh—My name is Ferril, too.

[anoblecaws]

Food? That's easy! We can just go outside and find fruit and meat and stuff.

All the packaged things in the cafeteria look weird, I don't trust them. [He's also from Medieval Fantasy Europe, so packaged food won't be a thing for him for many years.]

[cantstopthebeat]

The food is fine, but—I'm not going to trust it, either.

The only problem is, we don't know what's going to be safe to eat and what's not safe to eat here.

[isolating]

[ This guy is watching her back just as cautiously. ]

[cantstopthebeat]

[pausing, looking over—]

Hello?

[isolating]

...Hello.

[cantstopthebeat]

.. You're just as confused as I am, aren't you.

[isolating]

Unfortunately.
