R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[An entire day has passed. By now, he's just going to have to accept that they can't get out of this school. He should just try to relax for now... why not at the pool?

He doesn't know, okay.

Even so, once he gets there the idea of actually swimming makes him nervous, a little. You can find him at the edge of the pool, wearing a wetsuit tanktop and shorts with a big colorful inner tube under his arm, staring at the water's surface as it glistens invitingly.

He wonders why it feels so wrong. Maybe it's just because the RFA isn't here.]

[ Mishima had been coming out this way with the intention of taking a peek at the storage shed. Now that they actually had a pool and a shed on "the other side of the school", maybe he could get a little bit closer to finding out what had been going on with those voices from back when the power went out. He's not sure at this point how much good it would even do to get those answers if he could, but... hey, it's not like he has too much else to focus on, and it's better than sitting outside the gym and regretting all of his decisions (though he'll probably be doing that soon enough).

Oh! It looks like Yoosung... didn't... have the same idea, exactly, but he's here, so. ]

Oh, hey. Going swimming?

[starswink]

Mm, yep!

[it would look totally stupid to get all ready like this and then just stop, so he of course he has to respond in the positive.]

I suddenly got this chill when I looked at the water though... like it's some curse. But that's silly. It's probably just cause the last time I went swimming, Seven put on this shark fin and scared the crap outta me.

[but is he getting in yet? Nah. He's turning to look at Mishima now, who has obviously not been in the supply closet for a suit, so...]

What about you? You look kinda energetic.

[maybe that means he is up for swimming after all, but he'd listen to whatever alternative reasons for being in here. He hasn't even put his little toe in yet.]

FINALLY GETTING BACK TO THIS...

[supportrole]

[ Mishima actually recalls some pretty good creepypastas about school swimming pools, but he's going to refrain from bringing those up... anyway, those are usually about indoor or underground pools! This one isn't all that creepy, which is saying something, considering it's in a murder school that's literally populated with dead people. ]

I was just thinking about looking around in the shed. Back when we heard those voices during the power outage, they were supposed to be in the pool shed on the other side of the school, right? Which kind of sounds like it should be this one.

I mean, I don't think they're still in there or anything, but maybe there'd be some kind of sign that they were there before.

[starswink]

Whoa. You really think this is the place?

[That hadn't occurred to Yoosung, since the second encounter he'd managed to set up with them wasn't anywhere near the pool or even the original school. But Mishima has a point- they had to be somewhere. He'd thought maybe they were in one of the parts of the school that were in the video, but a parallel school just like this one would explain a lot.]

Well now I'm kind of curious... I could always go swimming later.

[supportrole]

Maybe? Finding anything is honestly probably kind of a long shot, but if any place fits that description they gave us, I think it's this.

[ He doesn't know anything about this second encounter... ]

Yeah, if you want to come, I definitely wouldn't mind the company. And maybe you'll notice something I wouldn't.

[starswink]

Yeah. I might even know a little more of what to look out for... There was some more stuff about those guys at the summer house. Not much, but I at least know their names now.

[He lets his innertube drop along the side of the pool, then gives a thumbs up.]

Superman Yoosung joins the party!
