[ A school that has begun to fall apart, bisecting the building. The only way to enter it is through the center, making it a bit difficult to properly search. There's a snowman outside with a sign in its hand reading "Z.D. <3 J.H". The school consists of two floors, both of which have scattered Ⓧs drawn on the boards in the classrooms:

FIRST FLOOR
Central Wing
The center of the school seems to have crumbled down the middle at some point, leaving much of it open to the elements. The office and what remains of the auditorium are muddy, wet, molding messes. The cafeteria just to the north of the divide has survived quite well, however. It receives power and has many tables with attached benches. More importantly, the cafeteria receives food regularly. Admittedly it's what you would expect from a school cafeteria: a lot of frozen meals with some fruit, vegetables, and other things mixed in, and there aren't any ovens in the cafeteria's kitchen to heat anything up with, but this is a good place to check for food if you need it. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, MAMI TOMOE, FREYA CRESCENT, GREED, EDWARD ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, DAY FORTY THREE, TRAVELLING NORTH-EAST." has been carved into one of the walls. A hot rod has been drawn on the wall with the initials JW. There's also a motorcycle and a few penises. A mark has been stained into the wall above the doorway.

Northeast Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are kindergarten classrooms, judging by how all of them have small tables and chairs to go with them in place of desks, with blocky, colorful text on the walls and large alphabet or number or animal carpets on the ground. A few picture books can be found on the classroom, at about the level you would expect for a kindergarten class. The northeasternmost classroom has a large old wooden piano, but the strings have all been removed from the inside. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading up. "I found a severed arm here, but it vanished. Restless spirit? - Enoch" has been written on the wall in one of the hallways. In the first classroom one comes across on this side, all the desks have collapsed in a pile, as if they were stacked up but then fell over. "JIM HAWKINS WAS HERE", "NORFINBURY SUCKS", "JH ZD ZF", and "JH <3 ZD" have been written in sharpie in the hallways.

Northwest Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the first grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged neatly with one chair per desk and desks formed into small groups of four each, for a total of five groups in each classroom. There's a large, blank plastic board on the wall in the front of the classroom. There are a few books to be found here, though they are suited for first grade. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading up.

Southeast Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the second grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged in four rows of five desks each, with each desk touching the desk on either side of it, in front of a blank plastic board. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading up.

Southwest Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the third grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged in four columns of five desks, with no desks touching any other desks, in front of a blank plastic board on the wall. Every room has a simple multiplication table on the wall. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading up.

SECOND FLOOR
Central Wing
The second floor of the central wing is essentially in ruins. There were probably rooms here at once point, but they've all crashed to the ground below.

Northeast Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the fourth grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged in four columns of five desks, with no desks touching any other desks, in front of a blank plastic board on the wall. Every room has a multiplication table on the wall--it covers from the twelves tables to the twenties tables. There is a similar poster for division. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading down.

Northwest Wing
There is a small teacher's lounge on the northern wall of this hallway which contains a table, a few chairs, and a counter in the corner of the room that may have once held coffee machines, although no longer. There's also a large room that only contains multiple rows of tables and computer chairs, though there aren't any computers to be found.

The south wall holds the library. There are books to be found here, but it's all fiction suited for an elementary school. The reference section is entirely empty. There's a large machine that looks a bit like a modern day movie rental machine--notable for that alone, but it's also receiving power. However, if you try to use it, you will be asked for ID, and will be denied if unable to provide it. If you have ID, it will give out a blank blue SD card. This card can be written on only once before becoming read-only. You can also insert a blue, written-on SD card you already own to make copies of it, but only twenty per day.

Southeast Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the fifth grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged in four columns of five desks, with no desks touching any other desks, in front of a blank plastic board on the wall. Every room has a multiplication and division table on the wall--it covers up through 100, and also includes rules about fractions and decimals. The beginnings of algebra seem to be being taught as well. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading down.

Southwest Wing
On the north wall is an art room. It's large and there are various art pieces in various stages of completion. That they're made by children is obvious, but not all of them are really that bad. Some of the kids really show talent! Arranged by date, it seems like while the art starts out fairly standard in topic the newer pieces are darker, muddier, and more distorted, to the point with some of the pieces it's impossible to tell what was even being painted. On the south wall is a music room. There's an area similar to a classroom with desks, but in the back are many various instruments. Most of them would be pretty cumbersome to carry around, except maybe some of the smaller woodwinds, but they are in working order.]

[Looking for gold stars, Harley? Because this child has several of them scattered over the worn-looking leather armor she still wears though it's dried and cracking from months in the cold without proper oiling. Of course, Harley will have to spot her; as soon as she hears the sound of the bat on the lockers she goes deadly quiet as she creeps up to try to see who's making the noise without being seen herself.]
clowngirl: (♥ Would I do it again?)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-06-12 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Harley swears she just saw a flash of gold foil out of the corner of her eye, and stops in her tracks. It had been moving, right? Why was it moving? Well, whatever it was, it was bigger than a spider. She knows that.]

Uh, Ninja Stars? You can come out! [She lowers her bat and peers around.] I'm only gonna hurt you if you're a shiny-decorated anomaly! And even then, welll... [A shiny-decorated anomaly might be worth trying to make friends with. Even if it did ultimately kill her.]
ecks: (expressive!)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-06-17 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Perhaps the stars were not her best choice for stealth, but they were her best choice for fabulousness. Ecks considers the implicit threat, decides she's clearly not an anomaly, and speaks up as she peers from around a doorway some little way down the hall.]

You cannot hurt an anomaly.
clowngirl: (♥ Hiiiii)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-06-18 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I could try like hell. You never know! I could get a weak one. The one anomaly that always skips leg day at Horrifyin' Monster Bootcamp.

[She's not seriously banking on it, though Harley's brain really isn't fond of absolutes. She leans out to one side, as if it'll allow her to see the other person in the hall better. It doesn't, but at least she can see someone now! Harley waves.]
ecks: (thinkery)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-06-19 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
The anomalies make you fall asleep if they touch you.

[Ecks watches her, then slowly lifts her hand in a return wave.]
clowngirl: (♥ Would I do it again?)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-06-19 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Sleep-sleep or the Big Sleep?

[Harley asks while approaching slowly. She drags her bat behind her, lackadaisically.]

Either way, I gotta tell ya, I ain't tired yet.
ecks: (expressive!)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-06-26 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
...It is a significant sleep and usually the anomaly also kills you.

[She doesn't understand that expression, Harley. She does feel the need to clarify, though.]

I am not an anomaly.
clowngirl: (♥ Would I do it again?)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-06-26 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured. What are you, then?
ecks: (looking up)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-06-26 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I am a flesh golem. I am Ecks.
clowngirl: (♥ Lovely Me)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-06-26 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Harley! I'm a flesh person. [She stops and juts out her hand to shake.]
ecks: (blank stare | default)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-06-27 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ecks eyes the hand but does not reach her own out in return. It's not a gesture she understands, and even if she did she'd be nervous about disarming herself for a handshake. Her gaze flicks back up to Harley's face.]

You look like a human.
clowngirl: (♥ Okeydokey)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-06-28 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I am! [Harley keeps her hand out for an awkward moment longer, eventually shaking hands with the air before putting it down. All while keeping a cheerful smile on her face.] So what does a golem do?

If you're lookin' for more stickers, I'm startin' to worry the place's been cleaned out.
ecks: (thinkery)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-07-01 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ecks's gaze is drawn again to Harley's hand when she shakes it in the air. How puzzling!]

A golem can do many things. Most golems do what they are told to do, but I am a person so I do what I choose to do.

[And sometimes what she's told to do.]

I think I found all of the stickers.
clowngirl: (♥ Thinky)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-07-02 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Good for you! [Her enthusiasm is in earnest. You go, golem girl!]

Didja find anything other than stars? Them, I got, and I could trade ya somethin' if you had let's say... smiley-faces. [Now this was really taking taking her back to grade-school.]
ecks: (looking up)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-07-03 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I did not find anything other than stars here, but I still have some of the nice stickers Shelley's ghost gave me when we gave her photo back to her. Some of them are faces.
clowngirl: (♥ Smile)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-07-08 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
I could trade you more stars for your haunted stickers if that's your thing OR I also got this nice li'l figurine that looks like it's from a cartoon but I've never seen it but I call him Fred. [She reaches into her coat pocket to pull out "Fred" and holds him up for Ecks to see.]
ecks: (thinkery)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-07-08 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I do not know what a cartoon is and also I like soft fake animals more. Why do you call him Fred?
clowngirl: (♥ Thinky)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-07-08 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
'Cause he looks like he'd be a good dancer. If he wasn't plastic and all.

I only got one stuffed animal so she's pretty special to me. I don't think I could trade her. What else do you like?
ecks: (blank stare | default)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-07-09 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Is Fred a name for dancers?

[This is just raising more questions, Harley. Ecks drones out a little sigh when she hears that she won't be getting a stuffed animal.]

I also like knives.
clowngirl: (♥ Pout)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-07-10 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Fred is the best name for dancers, though Gene ain't too bad neither.

[Sorry, Ecks. There will always be more questions. Her face scrunches up into a thoughtful look.]

Gee, I only got the one good knife, too... Are you adverse to bludegeoning? I got a real solid billy-club. I also got a rubber duck, scented candle, and one of those li'l scented trees you hang in your car!
ecks: (looking up)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-07-11 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
I am not very good at bludgeoning. I am better at stabbing.

I like ducks. Also you can have some of the stickers. I do not need all of them.
clowngirl: (♥ Smile)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-07-13 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
We all got our special talents!

The duck's all yours. [She smiles.] I really don't need him outside of a bath anyway, and we're pretty short on those.
ecks: (smiiiiiile)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-07-17 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I took a bath before I came here. There is a little bit of hot water at the house to the west.

What do you do in a bath that requires a duck?

clowngirl: (♥ Gotham Girl)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-07-21 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh. I'll remember that!

And all kindsa things. A rubber duck's A+ bath-time company. You squeeze him, he squeaks. You can sing to him and tell him all about your day. You can play Harley Quinn vs. Batduck! Use your imagination.
ecks: (thinkery)

[personal profile] ecks 2018-07-25 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
...I am not sure that I have an imagination, but I do enjoy ducks. I tell my other animals about the things that I do, too.

[She likes all the animals, okay, especially the fake ones...since those don't freak out at the sight of her.]
