[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?

[She sits upright at that, brow furrowing. That's not a possibility she'd ever considered before.]

Like--what, like mind control? You're worried they're going to... try to turn you against us?

[ He stares at his hands. ]

Yeah. Or any of us really, but... with the things I can normally do...

[ New biggest fear: unlocked.

He turns to look back at Ena, brows knit together. ]


It kind of seems like we got off easy compared to some of the other people here, don't you think? And that voice, or that thing outside... They're probably going to keep trying.

... You think we're gonna be a target because we found the key?

[That would be so shitty and yet also so on brand for a place like this.]

Ughhhh--okay. Okay. So, say something like that can happen. What do we do if it does?

[ ...

the thing is

there actually is something that can incapacitate Mark, wholly, effectively, and with 100% success. But he's also still selfish enough that he doesn't want people he's just met to learn about it, even after their little trauma-bonding experience.

So he's quiet for a little too long before, finally, ]
I don't know.

Maybe we can try to get ahead of it. Figure out how this place works or something.

[She certainly doesn't clock it; he pauses, says he doesn't know, and she takes it at face value, nodding with a frown as she crosses her arms.]

Well. That was already the plan, I think. Now we've just got even more reasons to figure it all out ASAP.

Yeah...

[ He sighs, shifting to sit upright again. ]

Normally I solve my problems by punching them, but I feel like that isn't going to work as well here. Do you think there are any movies that have the right idea?

[ It's either movies or seeing if this school has a library, but movies are easier, so. ]

[She grimaces at that.]

Horror's not exactly my favorite genre, so I didn't go out of my way to watch a lot of movies...

But Blossom's pretty genre savvy and keeps up with a lot of media. We could ask her.

[ Perking up a little at that. ]

Oh, right, I remember her saying something about that. I'm not saying it's good that she's here or anything, but it is good to have someone who knows a lot! Maybe we'll get this figured out sooner rather than later after all.

[ Optimism!! Go fight win. ]

[Honestly, she appreciates the optimism. After a long day, it's very nice.]

... Right! Yeah! I mean, the classroom pretty much hit all of the tropes, and the keys were in an obvious place. [That they only thought to check last but shhh they still figured it out.] We've totally got this.
