[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

Some answers would be nice.

[She shakes her head, but tries to summon a very fleeing smile. Yeah, they could all probably use some answers right about now.]

But I'm alright. Still in one piece, that counts for something.

[ Ishmael returns the smile, although it's more wry than anything. ]

That's the one thing I don't have. Which pisses me off.

[ An obvious statement, but a true one. ]

I'm glad we made it out of there, despite everything.

[parttimesoldier]

Yeah. That was way too close for comfort.

[She can practically still feel all those strings wrapping around her. Ugh.]

Guess we're on step two now, which is figure out where the hell we are.

[If they don't have any answers, they'll just have to go out there and find 'em themselves!!]

[faultlieswith]

[ That's the spirit! ]

And once we've accomplished that, step three is to kick the asses of whatever brought us here.

[ She really, really wants to pick a fight with them. ]

After a shower and some sleep, I'll gladly help you investigate.

[parttimesoldier]

[A fleeting smile at that.]

Sounds like a plan.

[Both the ass-kicking and investigation parts.]

I'll have to see how much sleep is on the docket, though. Gonna be on high alert for a while after that.

[faultlieswith]

I guess that makes sense when you're not used to being mauled.

[ That's not a thing to get used to???? ]

I'm hoping exhaustion will knock me out so I don't lie awake in pain. The least they could have done was patch us up.

[parttimesoldier]

Something tells me they're not gonna lose a lot of sleep themselves over whether we're hurting or not.

[Do ghosts and monsters even sleep?? Whatever.]

I'm a light sleeper anyway, used to keeping an ear out for threats. Usually just other people, not... [a broad wave of her hand,] whatever that had been.
