[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.]

[it seems like she doesn't quite hear him yet, and it also seems like her veins are getting darker and darker until they're black under her skin. just normal things. but once they get that dark she relaxes slightly, bringing her hands away from her head, and finally registers that he's there.]

...Smith. Are you alright?

[opens mouth--feels that "No" ready to come out and shuts mouth again.

... quietly nods.]

I've calmed down. The wounds are manageable.

Alright.

[carefully standing up.]

...I don't recognize this place, either.

[looks around and--has to swallow down painful nostalgia of sorts]

... a gymnasium, it looks like. A place where people participate in sports. Only... abandoned. Decrepit.

I wonder if we're locked in here as well. One way to find out, I suppose.

I'd hope we're done with being locked in...

[out they go! once they're a few paces outside of the school, she turns around the look at the outside of the building.]

Hm. Something else strange, I see.

Something else?

[keeping himself from looking at the darkened corners of the halls where it feels like there's more webs and threads ready to latch on, moving to look out the windows.]

Has the rest of this not been strange for you...?

Ah... it's strange, but. In some ways, also familiar.

You did know what the gymnasium was, so I suppose it makes sense.

... it's a public school. A place where children are educated no matter their social standing. Well, you still have to test into them, so there is some criteria to being able to attend and learn.

There should be classrooms and the like further down the hall.

[looking at it, impassively.]

It sounds useful. You attended?

Not here. I've also studied in university.

[they had universities back then, didn't they? right. probably.]

... though this place isn't extremely far from where I'm from originally, if I'm right.

Public schooling was only just starting to become a standard in the place I ended up before this.

You might.

The Loen Kingdom of the Fourth Epoch's 14th century.

... which may mean nothing at all to you, of course, but that's alright.

It means nothing to me. How peculiar.

When I've rested my mind a bit more, I can probably speak on the concepts that might help understand our situation better. Just, right now...

... not completely. I don't understand why so many people were brought here. I don't know the entities or individuals behind it, or how they would have... managed kidnapping so many?

[him. how did they manage that? hello???]

But I have a general grasp of some things. And suspect it might all be a ritual of some kind.

...Interesting. Well - you did say you needed to clear your head, but I'd be interested to hear that theory later, definitely.

Yes... I appreciate your consideration with that.
