[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.]

No long-lasting damage done, I think. Unsettling though it was, I'll be fine. And yourself?

[ It's only polite to ask back. ]

( if she were on the emotion share team, it would be static. but she's not.

there's clear cuts on her legs and against her cheek, but she doesn't seem to care. ... though, she's a little pale, too. )

Those horrible dolls aren't here so I'm doing much better.

[ Luckily for him, the moment she says that, he swears he sees one in the corner of his eye, falling face forward onto the floor, its porcelain face shattering. He winces and blinks, but then it's gone. ]

...Comparatively, sure, but these circumstances still aren't exactly ideal, are they?

[beathollow]

Of course not. But, if we focus on what we want, we'll only set ourselves up for disappointment. Right now, I think it's best we recover first, and then see what we can make the best of here.

[gamboler]

[ What an unusual philosophy. With a laugh: ]

I don't know about you, but I'd rather not make the "best" of anything here. I'd rather find a way out.

[beathollow]

You think I don't? But the fact of the matter is, we're kidnapped, we've been changed and tattooed without or knowledge, and then forced into a haunted building and injured. We have to survive as well as escape.

[gamboler]

[ Wait, back up a moment there... ]

You were tattooed? By whom?

[ This is news to him??? It didn't really come up in their group, and his tattoo is on his neck, so...

Nope, he doesn't even know it's there. ]

( she takes a couple steps back to gesture to her leg, where it looks like an ivy vine has curled its way up from ankle to under her shorts in dark blue ink.

if he's keen, he can see similar leaves poking out from around her wrist under her jacket. )

One of the ladies also has one from my... classroom, but we didn't search anyone else, since the the dolls happened.

I can only assume it was the ones who brought us here, because this is new to me.

[gamboler]

[ ...How invasive. It leaves a sour taste in his mouth — he'll have to check himself more thoroughly, once he has the chance to. ]

...Regardless, surviving and escaping go hand in hand. Before we can do either, we need more information about exactly what kind of game this is that we've been pulled into.

[beathollow]

What we need right now is rest and food. Anything else can come after.

.... I think we're actually in agreement but with slightly different focuses-
