THE TIME BETWEEN.

[lockdownmods]

Regardless of whether or not you've explored, you're pretty thoroughly stuck here. Which means... well, you'd best get acquainted with everything that's available to you. There are things to do, places to see... And maybe there are some surprises in store.

You won't discover them until you look for them, though.

And who knows when you'll get out of here? Or when new people will show up? Only time will tell...

[ kind of relatable tbh ]

Thanks, I guess? I mean, I've kind of been here for a while now.

[ Maybe it hasn't actually been that long, but it sure feels like it. Time goes pretty slowly when you have nothing to do but sit around regretting every stupid choice you ever made. ]

[she raises her hands to her mouth and looks even more frazzled now.]

Oh no. It wasn't-- I could have sworn--

Um.

I'm sorry you were by yourself for so long. I'll make sure that doesn't happen again.

[recodified]

We've been here. Waiting for answers.

[ Hollyleaf's tail lashes. She... She hasn't been doing so well here, compared to the acceptance she reached. ]

This is not what any of us expected, Twoleg.

[photomode]

Oh!

You look like my kitty. Hello there.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I do not have many answers, but I'll try my best.

[recodified]

I am no one's kittypet.

[ oh no- ]

Where are we?

[photomode]

We're all in the other side of the school.

[supportrole]

The other... like where those people we talked to were?

[photomode]

Other people?

[she... does not know!]

I don't think so. There... is only me.

And now you.

[supportrole]

Oh. Huh.

[ Kind of a letdown. He's not really ready to abandon that potential theory yet, though... Is there a pool shed around here somewhere??

...Well, there'd probably have to be a pool for that. ]

Where were you before you were here, then?

[photomode]

I've... always been here, but that's fine. This place doesn't bother me at all.

[recodified]

The other side? What in the name of StarClan does that mean?

[photomode]

It's tricky... We're still at the school, but on the other side of it.

[recodified]

Why am I not in StarClan? I'm dead, am I not? Why am I still kept here, if I am of no more use to you...people?

[photomode]

I don't want anyone to die.

[and so, she crouches down]

I want you to escape here.

[recodified]

...What are you playing at? I remember...I died. Again.

Are we not dead?

[photomode]

I would say "no." [she pauses for a long time, before nodding decisively. she likes that answer. It's a good answer.]

But it's my job to protect you, and here you are as safe as you can be from what you experienced there.

[recodified]

Your job... Do you work for those people, then? Like Vivienne?

[photomode]

No. I don't work for anyone. My mom gives me guidance, but I do thinks on my own.

Oh, my name is Evelyn. I forgot to introduce myself earlier!

[recodified]

[ ... ]

Your... [ She takes a moment. ]

My name is Hollyleaf.

...So you put this upon yourself. Why? What... What tie do you have to all of us?

[photomode]

Well, your death was wrong, don't you agree?

[she's going somewhere with this, ok...]

[recodified]

...That's a matter of perspective. I was supposed to be dead in the first place.

[photomode]

Well...

I can't account for that, I'm sorry. I just know you were involved with the game, and it was wrong.

I want to fix that.

[coagmentatio]

I can't imagine too many deaths ever being right...

[ Don't mind the random commentary....... He's been standing here quietly the whole time, gaze sort of resting to the side. ]

[supportrole]

[ That's Hollyleaf! Looking uncrushed by kitchenware. Good. ]

[recodified]

[ she's fine, it's fine, she may be spending most of her time hiding in dark places, but this is fine ]
