[ They walk out into another hallway, except this one appears to be more like a modern high school hallway than the last one they were in. Lockers and classroom doors are everywhere, as well as students walking down the hall. They're all in the same uniform as the ones from inside the classroom. They all also look at the pair as they pass by them.
In the distance, they can hear organ music again. ]
But Dorothy has never been inside a modern high school and is also a great deal more wary for Some Reason, but she will let go of Rufus' hand and just focus on proceeding. ]
[ The man isn't in this room, but it's filled with students like the last one was.
At the front of the room, are three of the robed figures who were sitting in the church pews. They're still praying. There are also two empty seats for Dorothy and Rufus. ]
[ The first thing Dorothy does is scan the room for that man and-- well, he's either not here or cosplaying, so she takes a quiet breath and moves to sit down.
She doesn't entertain any notions that this will be pleasant, but maybe they won't try to make Rufus kill himself again. ]
[ Dorothy lifts an eyebrow but-- well, not her conversation to butt in. So while she kind of has to listen, she's also observing the chanting hooded figures. ]
But he does not. Instead Rufus stares at the student with a deeply unamused frown, saying nothing. The Realm operates like this, he reminds himself, so this was expected.]
[ The student lifts his hands up in a placating gesture. ]
Sorry, sorry. I think she's cool too.
[ He leans forward, as if to whisper, but his voice still carries over. ]
Or at least she was, until it turned out she was some dumb bitch who died just because she couldn't have some cock in her mouth, huh? What a stupid way to go.

One of the students does step in front of them. ]
Hi! Are you new?
no subject
Just exploring. We're on our way out.
[ Hopefully. ]

[ Passing students start to whoop excitedly. There's a lot of team spirit here. ]
But next period is going to start. You should get to class.

Right... of course.
[ Fine, whatever. INTO THE STUPID CLASSROOM. ]

Oh my god, aren't you Legis' son? That's so cool.

The student ignores how unhappy Rufus looks. ]
You just missed his lecture. It was great. He told us to do the right thing... you do that too, right?
no subject
So she glances away, from the figures and from Rufus. Maybe there's a nice poster of Jesus to stare at instead. ]
no subject
I don't care about that.
no subject
[ Jesus stares back.
And also, so do the hooded figures. They finally stopped praying and are now looking directly at the pair. ]
no subject
Dorothy. Though she does finally glance Rufus' way, because demons are better than Jesus I guess. ]

Can you shut your mouth? My mother's name isn't yours to use.
