[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.]

—Huh?

I haven't had anything like that happen yet.

... Seriously?

Look, like--

[THEY JUST DID IT TO THEM??? what a RIP.

Ena huffs out a breath, and reaches out for her arm to gently being to wrap the cloth around the worst of the cuts. And as soon as she makes contact, her emotions hit--thankfully not too potently right now. But there's a mix of fear and anger and anxiety and relief and exhaustion, probably unsurprisingly.]

[ While she's more or less feeling similarly, it's overwhelming to have more of it suddenly hit you. She starts where she sits, eyes growing wide. ]

—Agh!

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She lets go immediately, of course, hands held up placatingly.]

Er--like that. Sorry. Was that too much? I'm still getting used to it myself.

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-21 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
—S- sorry! I guess I wasn't expecting it to feel like that... But I think if I know it's coming, it should be all right.
selfportraiture: (pic#17949733)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Alright...

[She's tentative as she reaches for her other arm, moving to wrap that one too.

The same emotions again, if with some added petulance, which is explained quickly enough:]


I can't believe this is only happening to us... what gives?
cupidsammo: (pic#17454622)

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-21 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, I wish I knew... But I still don't understand what's happening at all.

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's--it's fine. You can't be expected to know anymore than I do. I guess I was just thinking out loud. [Or "bitching out loud", as is more accurate.

She finishes wrapping her arms with a careful knot of the fabric.]


There. Sorry, it's not great, but that's the best I can do.

[ With a shake of her head: ]

No no, it'll work—it should help stop the bleeding some. Thank you very much for helping me.

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
No problem. I mean, it's the least I can do, right? We're all stuck in this crappy situation together.

And it seems like I got off "lightly".

[Not too lightly, but better than everyone else.]

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-21 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... Did you find the key?
selfportraiture: (pic#17949684)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

... It was under the teacher's podium, before you ask.
cupidsammo: (pic#17499111)

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-21 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
.... Oh.

I should have tried looking a little harder, too.
selfportraiture: (pic#17949764)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Don't blame yourself too much. We had barely any time in there, and it was really tense.

[...]

We barely found it in time.

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-21 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, but...

The words go unsaid. ]


W- well, I suppose we still all made it out.
selfportraiture: (pic#17949798)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
... Right.

[Yeah, she might've put her foot in her mouth there.

Oops...]


Um, I'm going by Botan here, by the way.
cupidsammo: (pic#17746276)

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-21 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
—Ah, right! Thank you very much, Botan... I'm sorry I can't introduce myself properly yet. I wasn't thinking of any names.
selfportraiture: (pic#17949701)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[... She feels a little sheepish now.]

That was one of the first things we did...

... Were our priorities super skewed...?

[This is Mizuki's fault.]

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-21 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
But it's a good idea to have them, isn't it? We got caught up in trying to figure out where we were and how to get out, that's all.
selfportraiture: (pic#17949793)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the sensible things to worry about.

[Oh well... it worked out for them, so can't be too embarrassed about it.]

But yeah, since it seems like it's going to take a bit longer to get outta here, we should be careful about what we call each other.

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-22 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

I... guess that voice is still out there somewhere, huh...
selfportraiture: (pic#17949799)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-22 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Seems like a pretty safe bet, yeah.

[A sigh.]

So just... be careful.
cupidsammo: (pic#17684861)

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-22 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ a small nod ]

... I will. I'll make sure not to give out my name, at least.
selfportraiture: (pic#17949709)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-22 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's definitely step number one.

[It's a good start, anyway.]

I'm gonna go check on everyone else. It's a mess out here. Uh... try to come up with a name soon too, okay? So I have something to call you!
cupidsammo: (pic#17464133)

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-07-22 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ with another small nod, ]

... Okay. Thank you again—I should be okay from here.
