[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.]

... catharsis...

[don't say the last time that's been a thing was rightfully killing a man, don't say it. stupid curse, you better not make me say it!!!]

I wouldn't doubt it.

Swearing seems to do pretty well too, but that’s less my style.

... I think I'd be among the number of "if I started, I may not stop".

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-07-21 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that number is a pretty large group right now.

Company might be the only comfort we have right now.
presgarddihellis: (28)

[personal profile] presgarddihellis 2025-07-21 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I meant that genuinely.

[the smile of a person who actually does know what it means to not have that comfort.]

But we still need to be careful.

Of course. We have numbers, but we're still trapped here.

[personal profile] presgarddihellis 2025-07-22 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
For now.

If we play our cards right and bide our time wisely...

But I don't recommend directly targeting whatever brought us here.

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-07-22 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[what cards]

So... wait and see for now?
presgarddihellis: (69)

[personal profile] presgarddihellis 2025-07-22 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[shhhh, fake you have cards until you have cards. don't show your hand so easily?]

More or less.

[sighs]

We'll need time anyways... We still don't know who or what kidnapped us. Or how. Or how they blocked everyone's magic.
presgarddihellis: (58)

[personal profile] presgarddihellis 2025-07-22 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
... that is the most concerning part to me, yes.

Whatever it is--it's powerful.
bowtiedbones: (25)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-07-22 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
I can't think of any reason something this powerful would want all of us. I'm an academic. I don't— know any secrets. I don't have any money. Anything special I can do I need my magic for anyways, and they can just hire me for that.
presgarddihellis: (^ 11)

[personal profile] presgarddihellis 2025-07-22 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
... it may be a ritual of some kind.

Unfortunately, I do know a lot of secrets. A number of which... even knowing of them can make people go mad.
bowtiedbones: (98)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-07-22 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
If they sacrifice me to you, I'm going to give all of your worms disease.
presgarddihellis: (^ 12)

[personal profile] presgarddihellis 2025-07-22 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
I don't accept human sacrifices.

[said so seriously, like. c'mon. it's in his Fool Bible and everything, gosh.]
bowtiedbones: (83)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-07-22 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Non-human sacrifices?
presgarddihellis: (56)

[personal profile] presgarddihellis 2025-07-22 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
... I'll make a note to add in "sentient peoples" for the wording, but the point stands.
bowtiedbones: (92)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2025-07-22 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
We have elves and spacemen here.

[can't be too careful]

What do you take? I summon hellhounds sometimes. They like fires for their sacrifices. Salamandars do too, but they're fussy about the pH in the ash.

[this look that's almost like he's realizing he's been caught and he's very confused about it]

... you don't have to worry about making any sort of sacrifices to me. I can--

[except words stop coming out]

[raises her hands, oh no, no it's okay. don't upset the man and his worms with your bad mood.]

No, I was just— I was just wondering, sorry. I don't summon demons anyways!
presgarddihellis: (^ 02)

[personal profile] presgarddihellis 2025-07-22 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
No...

[it's not even her he's upset about, it's the stupid enforcement of Only Truthful Things!]

... offerings, if anything. And I don't... really want to take offerings from people who don't even know what they're giving offerings to.
