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.]

[YOU SURE ARE it's a vicious attack filled with the tight clinging of someone who probably won't let go for the next ten minutes]

[pitching]

[Ew...well, on this end, he won't be letting go either. Look, too many feelings please.]

[carptricks]

I-Idiot! D'you know how long it's been?

[There really isn't any fire in his words, though]

[pitching]

I dunno. I was still napping.

[carptricks]

Too long! I'm surprised your behead isn't worse.

[He pulls away just enough to ruffle Dragonfly's hair affectionately]

[pitching]

[hfffff ///]

How long has it been though?

[carptricks]

[Presses his forehead against Dragonfly's ;w;]

. . . couple of months. Aoko and I left-- were kicked out of, practically-- the library a few months ago.

I heard it was destroyed, and the people in the Picture were freed.

[pitching]

What.

[carptricks]

. . . are you really gonna make me repeat that?

[pitching]

Yes.

[carptricks]

. . .

Coco and I left the library, which was then destroyed, and the people in the Bigger Picture were freed.

[pitching]

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

[carptricks]

I don't--

[DUCKS HIS HEAD. . .]

. . . I haven't seen you since before you went into the picture.

[But he assumes you went home??? yes. that]

[pitching]

That's where I last remember being...

[carptricks]

. . . [He shakes his head and forces a small smile]

I always thought you had just gone home. But I hadn't figured out a way to come visit you yet.
