"Oh. Did you get caught?" The boy finished setting up some of the outer edges of the puzzle before standing up. He pulled his shirt down further in an attempt to cover his legs more as he went to go sit down on another nearby couch.
Jane shared her gaze, trying to keep herself from frowning.
"I do wish you'd try to get more rest, Doctor." She was suddenly preoccupied with her tea, stirring it vigorously. "Thank you. I try my best, and taming them is rather hard at times, but I like to think that they turn out nice in the end."

Elinor laughed. "Of course I didn't." She grinned at him. "After hours, I move like a ghost." She chuckled, looking away, towards the window. "They wouldn't catch me if they tried."
Mary smiled gently as Jane began stirring. "They always do." She leant forwards to pick up her own tea, the silken dressing gown slightly open at the top, loose fitting and luxurious, as much of bedroom attire was. "I will try- I have no plans tonight. I shall have a quiet evening and a pleasant night in bed, just for you." She chuckled slightly. "You'd even be welcome to come and check I wasn't deceiving you, and hadn't snuck away like a mischievous schoolchild to pursue activities beyond the bedroom."

"God. I wish I were as lucky as you are." He shifted uncomfortably then, flashing a hint of scar down the back of his left thigh. The door to the girl's dorms opened once more, Johanna coming out. She looked exhausted, her hair in a messy bun as she went to plop down between Eu and Elinor.
"Hiya!"
Jane crossed her legs, trying to hide her blush in her hair.
"I just might...."

"Ah, ciao Johanna!" Eulalia smiled at the blonde girl. "Thank you for helping me last night! Did you sleep well?"

"You seem terribly cheerful this morning- who'd you kill?" Elinor grinned at Johanna, and at her own joke. "Please, tell me it was that creep de Sade."
"You know you'd be more than welcome, Jane. I love your company, more than any other." She sat back in her armchair. "Even more than my own- that truly is special, I can assure you." Mary was hardly lying, either. She truly did love having the woman around. If she thought she would stand what happened in there, Mary was sure that Jane would be the only other person allowed in her theatre. But, for fear of what the woman would think of her, she had refrained.

Johanna snorted, rubbing her eyes.
"I slept fine. And I wish! Don't wanna mess with that creeper."
She was lacking clothes, for the most part - wearing a simple pair of boyshorts and a short crop top, both with puppies plastered across. She didn't seem to mind, however.
"Have I missed anything?"
"I feel very honored," Jane looked up to her, grinning then.

"Mmm, not really." Eulalia shot a few aside glances at Johanna, trying to study the girl's form. "Someone has opened puzzles and games, however."

"Shame." Elinor smirked, nodding at Johanna. "Put some clothes on, you'll catch a death of cold." She nodded again, pointedly, and winked. "Maybe Eulalia can help you, no doubt she's as concerned about your lack of clothing as I am."
"You most certainly should." Mary finished her cup of tea, leaning forwards again to pour herself another. "Can you top me- I mean, can I top you up?" It was Mary's turn to blush slightly. "Sorry- I must still be tired, getting my words mixed around. It'll never do."

Johanna giggled, standing up. She threw a thankful glance at Elinor for the idea before looking to Eulalia, holding out her arms.
"Well? Want to come and help me?"
Jane's gaze swooped down to the other girl's cup before quickly looking away. She twisted a lock of hair around her fingers.
"Y-yes, yes, of course. Thank you, Doctor."

The albino girl blushed, taking Johanna's arm and pulling herself up as well. "O-of course!"

"You can call me Mary, you know." Mary leant further over to Jane's cup, refilling it slowly, now wanting to spill the hot liquid. "I hold you most dearly, Jane, I shan't be offended if you don't use my title." She gently put the pot down, lifting her eyes to look at Jane. "Especially given we are alone, and far from the clinic. I'm not a doctor in here. Just your normal Mary." Her eyes lingered on Jane for a few moments, before she sat back up, with a little sigh. "I suppose I ought to get dressed."
Elinor grinned and shrugged slightly, as if to say 'what are wingmen for?'. She stretched and arched her back, before flopping back on the sofa, waiting for the girls to leave before looking at Ryan. "So. What did your Father do to cause those bruises, hm?" Her question was blunt, and seemingly out of nowhere. "Come on. I saw the scar on your leg, too."

Johanna grinned, dragging the other girl back to the dorms.
"Mmm, I'm sure you'll choose something wonderful!"
"...Well that just happened," The boy commented, watching them go. Elinor's comment started him, and he seemed to be trying to make himself disappear into the couch then. There wasn't any use in lying, he supposed - he'd attempted to with Dr. Godwin, but she'd seen right through it. He was a damn terrible liar. "...He's not... nice, I guess...."
Jane finally looked her in the eyes, giving her a soft smile.
"Alright.... Mary."

"W-well, that depends on what you have, does it not?" The Italian girl stuttered, as she followed Johanna into the older girl's room.

"That much is obvious. How long was he hitting you for? Looking like knuckles there- closed fist, or back of the hand?" Her gaze was intense against him as she leant forwards. "What did you do?" She knew it was cruel. She knew full well what she was doing, and she knew that it was cruel. She was too curious, though. How far could someone like that go before they broke? More specifically, how far could this one go?
She was so pretty when she smiled like that. Mary caught her mind wandering, still looking at Jane. She came to, and briefly looked down, before chuckling slightly. "See- I much prefer that." She stood up and stretched, before wandering to her wardrobe, opening it and beginning to pull out a silk blouse and a skirt, her stockings and silk underwear laid out on the bed already. Mary loved the feel of silk- it was one of her favourites. She loved its luxury and its smoothness, in the same way she loved her stockings. She especially loved how it clung to the body, subtly defining the form beneath.

"Well, yes. But still!" Johanna pulled her over to her room. Albeit, the only things, other than what she had worn the previous day, that were in her dresser would be a uniform. "Do you want to help me put it on?"
He looked away, refusing to make eye contact, his heart pounding at the barrage of questions.
"F-fist." He choked out finally, lifting his hand to scope out the exact place he was imprinted upon. "It... It depended...." He took a deep breath, setting his hands in his lap, attempting to quell his nerves. "This time I was just stupid. I made him madder than usual, he doesn't... he didn't hit me in the face - you can't co-ver that up or justify it even in my t-town...."
"Should I give you some privacy?" Jane asked, glancing up as Mary went to gather her clothes.

"Do you want to help me put it on?" "W-wouldn't you like privacy, however?" Eulalia replied, her pinkish skin having turned a beet-red.

Elinor's voice was cold, hard and indifferent- she was a far cry from the girl what had laughed and joked with the others not five minutes ago. "Did you deserve it, Ryan?" She got out of her seat and walked towards him, seeming to prowl. "Do you deserve the humiliation of bearing his mark, and having it out on show?" She leant over, bringing her close to his face. "Did you even try and stop him?"
"No, no- I have a screen for that." She gestured to the wooden dresser screen besides her vanity table, slipping behind it to dress- more for Jane's sake than her own, though Mary was sure the blush would serve only to draw out Jane's eyes. She smiled to herself as she changed, stopping only as something tugged at her cuff- she had caught it in the zip of her skirt. She tried to twist to see, but nearly wrenched her shoulder from it's socket in the process, making her cry out. She stood, with no stockings on, one arm twisted behind her back, stuck. "Uh- J-Jane?"

"Mmm, I don't see why!" The girl replied, taking off her top to reveal a small bra underneath. She took out the uniform then, looking to Eulalia sweetly. "Help?"
He stared at her, defiant of her words - until the last comment, when his eyes fell.
"I didn't. There's.... there's not much use...."
Jane looked up at her name being called, and grimaced, jumping to her feet to go help.
"Oh no, are you stuck?"

"A little- my cuff is caught in the zip-" Mary half-laughed. "Puts me in a slightly compromising position- you'd best not take advantage, you devil," she added, teasingly.
Elinor quite openly rolled her eyes and stepped away. "How weak. Have you no will to survive?"

Johanna just smiled, lifting up her arms to weasel into the uniform.
"H-he wouldn't kill me...." He looked up to her then, attempting a bold glare - but his eyes betrayed him, softer and far more scared than he thought. "He wouldn't kill me."
Jane's cheeks flared up, and she couldn't help but crack a smile.
"I promise I won't," She replied, working away at the zipper.

Johanna just smiled, lifting up her arms to weasel into the uniform. "Now the skirt..." Eulalia mumbled, walking over to grab the other half of the uniform. She was rather clearly uncomfortable- so much so she mistook the pants of Johanna's uniform for the more standard skirt.

"I'd have said the same thing about men I knew, and that turned out to be wrong." The indifference in her face quickly morphed into a sneer, as Elinor turned away. "And you would be far easier a target. The weak succumb faster. Much, faster." She turned back to look at him for a moment, her face indifferent again, clearly not even toying with him for pleasure or amusement. "Have a nice day, Ryan." She headed over to the girl's dorm, vanishing inside, away from the boy.
Mary tugged her sleeve slightly, impatient and flushed. "How's it so stuck- damn shirt-" She tugged again. "It'll be puckered, no doubt, by the zip..." She grumbled slightly, with a huff.

Johanna took the pants, quickly being dressed then.
"Thank you, Eulalia!"
The blonde stared after her, letting his breathing even itself out before standing up and heading to the opposite dorm room to find and put on his uniform.
"Mmm- a-ha!" The shirt was pulled free then, Jane pulling away with a grin. "There."

Mary inspected the cuff- it was puckered, but only slightly- nearly unnoticeable. She turned around to look at Jane with a smile. "I truly don't say it enough, but I don't know what I would do without you." She laughed slightly. "I'd be quite the wreck." She tried to stifle a yawn, and smooth out the cuff. "So much for a privacy screen- dear me. Wet hair, no stockings, caught in my own zipper- I must look such a state."
Elinor slipped into her own bay and lay down on the bed, closing her eyes, lying as still as death. Her chest barely moved with each breath, and she began to run her mind through the exercises she did for it daily, not especially wishing to attend breakfast, wear a uniform or work at all.

"Ah-h-h-h..." The albino stuttered, trying to respond and failing to do so. She just kept stammering on and on, blushing deeply.

Johanna giggled, starting out of her room.
"I could help you too."
"You're fine," Jane assured with a smile. Just as with dinner, bells interrupted the conversation - breakfast was starting, and everyone would meet down in the dining hall shortly.

"Not already- I can't go like this!" Mary slipped past Jane, brushing up against the woman, before quickly picking up her hairdryer, attempting to blow dry her hair and pull a stocking on simultaneously. "Goodness- I swear that bell gets earlier and earlier each day."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Jane asked, stepping back somewhat from the other woman as she ran to get ready.
"Of course I wouldn't. Come on!"
For those who wouldn't be late and were in their new uniforms - tailored to each of them with pinpoint precision, down to styles they enjoyed - the breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and several other confections would be warmed to perfection. Of course, it would be a bit awkward - the only adults there being the still strangely creepy de Sade and - perhaps only for a moment or so - Poe. It seemed Lovecraft would be taking his breakfast in his chamber.
Ryan would be one of the first students down, tucking his hair behind his ear - dressed in snappy high-waist pants with spats, and a white dress shirt with black vest and tie. It wasn't PRECISELY his normal style, as it was far more formal, but nonetheless a comfortable experience. For a brief moment coming into the room his eyes locked with de Sade's - but he turned his gaze away, quickly, to scan the room. He put on a self-assured smile sitting down with the two men, starting to grab some bits of breakfast.
"Hello, Sirs."
Angel had been up for a while, dressed comfortably in a white blouse and tights, with black cardigan, skirt and tie. Her personal sketchbook was cradled in her arms, and her thick coils were rather messy. She yawned, sitting down and immediately tuning off to the world around her, getting breakfast and finishing up a drawing in her book.
