Guidance Counselor's Office, Tuesday

[electrocynic]

Looked like things were back to normal-ish on fair Fandom island. Electroclash had supposed that meant she should drag her bum to her office to see if anyone was traumatized enough to seek counseling after whatever it had been that had left the island so sparsely populated.

Actually, half her reason for coming in was to see if someone could actually tell her what had been going on. Because fuck if she knew, her whole week had been tea and booze, like a sensible person's. Speaking of which, she put the electric kettle on before settling into the chair behind her desk.

Tea soothed traumatized people, right? Probably more than Electroclash would. But she was still here and available!

[ooopen.]

"It was a lot more than bad," Emily said as she leaned forward. "I don't know how many people got there, but basically everyone was in their pajamas, or less. It was some sort of dungeon thing with corridors and doors that took to what I'm going to assume were other worlds." Which she had later learned that had to do with things that had happened in the past.

Electroclash raised her eyebrows a bit.

"Does sound pretty nasty." Way to understate it, Sarah. "I take it no one managed to die this time around either, though?"

"A lot of people died, actually," Emily said with a nonchalant shrug. "But we then realized they were all being held in some stasis pods in the...how to put it...the Final Room? The Big Boss Room? Although there was no big boss, just a big black sphere with a teacher strapped to it."

Emily sighed. The things she was getting used to say.

Fandom: come for the education, stay to find yourself talking like a crazy person.

"A teacher? Which one?"

"Professor Skywalker," Emily said. She didn't know the guy, but apparently he was really powerful or something.

[electrocynic]

"Huh." She shrugged. "Well, he always did look a bit dodgy."

"Guy wasn't all that pleased of the situation, though," Emily pointed out, not wanting to let Electroclash think anything she hadn't explicitly say. "But we managed to talk sense into him and save the day." And then it hit her. "Hey, I actually saved the day, kinda."

It wasn't what she had came to do in the island, but it wasn't also half bad.

"Congrats, kid." Again, that was actually half sincere, which was better than nothing. "Sounds like the usual Fandom deal, then. Nice that that was sorted, and now it's back to same old, same old."

Also known as waiting for the next disaster to strike.

Emily knew all about half sincere, and she didn't mind it. "I still can't understand how people just go back to their usual lives. I mean, that's some serious repression right there," Emily said, basically describing herself as well.

"Well, you get used to it." That was the best she could offer, really. You got used to it. "Or, you move away. That's the other option, 's far as I can see."
