"Come on, Rhaine..." Midnight Stars looked at her watch. She tapped her foot impatiently. A whole 10 minutes late. She sighed. Which reminds me... What time zone does this place even run on, anyway? They never quite said where it was. She turned to the sound of someone running through a nearby corridor.

Crap!

She was late! Oh, but she got distracted as her eyes noticed the time. She paniced, glancing at her lover who had reminded her to relax but Rhaine couldn't as she glanced at her room mate. Where did her bra go? She looked and had not retrieved it from the tangle of clothes that had been discarded on the floor. It had to have fallen behind something.

She did not have time for this though. She sighed and was in such a hurried and paniced state that she did not get another one out of the dresser as she tossed her shirt on and tucked it into her skirt. She used a napkin that Dani offered her to wipe away the trickle of her own release on the inside of her thigh, kissed her lover and rushed off after declaring her love. She got halfway down the hall before she was called back for her book bag, came back for it and rushed to meet Midnight. Her breasts bouncing beneath her top as the blond haired girl eventually meets up with Midnight, out of breath.

“Sorry! Sorry I'm so late. Something ….” she pants “... something came up!”

"It'd better have been something important", Midnight muttered. She produced a list from her bag. "Everything I need is on this. Do you have a torch or something on you? Mine vanished in customs, or was confiscated, or something. I think."

She blushed a little glancing away. “Yeah, it was.” But she keeps her gaze averted until the list is produced and she reads it. “Um, maybe you might find some of this stuff in the science labs but I know they have more than a few of these things in the basement. I've seen them.

“And yeah, I got one packed up on my bag so we should be all set. I got a sketch of what I remember of the place too though it's not to detailed seeing that I didn't see too much of the place.”

"Well in that case, let's get going". And with that, Midnight opened the door.

As soon as the door ominously creaked shut like a bad horror movie cliche, she was hit by a metaphorical wave of darkness. "Dammit, Rhaine, get the torch on!

“Right! It's in the bag ...” She fumbles for it then a beam of light comes into existance. No lights had been a good sign, right? It meant that no one was here but not everything needed eyes she found from her time on the island.

She walks ahead of Midnight, large breasts jiggling though now she rgrets not getting out another bra. She was not huge of chest but neither was she tiny either. She sighed.

“Last time I descended the steps and took the left at the first corridor though this one continues ahead. I saw the lab equipment at the end of the hall, they were moving it, it looked like.”

"Hold on a second. Shine it at this wall". The beam settled on a light switch. "That'll help", Midnight smiled.

"One question, though...?", she turned to face her temporary assistant. "How was your date last night?" As she brushed past her on the way down the stairs, she turned and grinned the sort of grin usually accompanied by a grey fin and some deep 'cello. "You have a little something on your cheek there", she bursts into hysterics. "You might wanna wash that off!"

“Date, what are -” she colors and looks away as the heat flares to her face. She regrets that the light switch is going to make light of the situation very soon but there was no mistaking that she had been busted like a child with their hand in the cookie jar.

She licks her hand and starts to scrub at her neck where Dani had kissed her last. She had been embarrassed and it showed in the splash of color on her cheeks. She tried to hide it by walking ahead though the laughter told her that she was busted. She did her best to ignore it though as she clicked off the flashlight and shoved it nervously into her bag.

“... do we start looking for the lab equipment or do I show you where the knives are first ...” she hoped to avoid commenting on the 'date' and the reasons why she had been running late in the first place.

"I've been feeling like I've been watched since I got here, it'd be good to feel a bit safer. On the other hand, carrying some kinda weapon would probably get in the way if we're carrying the equipment. Some of it's pretty large and fragile. Really, it's your call"

Rhaine considers. “The weapons first then. Their closer and it looked like they were moving the lab equipment. If we take one knife a piece it shouldn't weigh us down too much and we'll have something if we stumble upon anything though it's better to just run I find. OK, this way.”

She leads the way on and takes the left at the first corridor and stops at the first door on the left, a thick metal door.

“This is where they brought me last time ...”

She opens the door after a moment to reveal a room straight out of a movie set … chains dangling from the celing with a chest of torn clothes in the corner, another of fresh uniforms in various sizes.

Whips and sex toys of all shapes and sizes line the wall along with various knives and scalpels.

"What the everloving flugelhorn is this!?" Midnight yelled. "Is this some kind of sick joke!?"

She breathed deeply. In. Out. In. Out.

She turned with malice and a flicker of yellow in her eyes. "Rhaine, listen very carefully.And answer honestly. Is this some kind of sick joke, which, in that case, I appreciate, or is this some kinda trick with foul intentions?"

She is almost afraid to answer uncertain how to. “I … There's no way I could have set this up by myself! Half this stuff is contraband and it would be a bit foolish to just set it up so the school can confiscate it all.

“I wish it were a joke though and if someone was telling me about this place I wouldn't have believed them … that was until they sent me here ...” She sighs a little and shakes her head. It became apparent that Midnight had been one of the lucky ones that didn't know about how the island worked and the tell her, well Rhaine would probably sound like a loon so she doesn't really try.

“You'll find that there are a lot of odd things about this school. A lot.”

"I guess...", Midnight is calmer now. "But, then, who could have set it up?"

“The school set it up for unruly students or to instill a bit of disciple to those that wrack up too many demerits.” She glanced to the chains that she had been suspended from less then a week ago. It was a n effective deterrent to a point though she risked coming here now.

She shook her head trying to dispel the memories that had been coming back. “Let's just hurry up, this place gives me the creeps.”

"Me too", Midnight shook her head. "Where did you say the knives were?"
