Bakersfield Collegiate
Boarding School AU
Girls dorms, boys dorms, track team, uniforms, latin studies, O Captain! My Captain!, smoking in the bathroom, fearing and idolizing the upperclassmen, sneaking out after curfew, lusting after the rare good looking prof.
Welcome to Bakersfield Collegiate; a boarding academy of legend and lore, and coming of age stories you’ll write a memoir about some day. The rules are strict, the classes are tough, the living conditions range from lavish to questionable, but you can be sure this institution turns out graduates with character, substance and a little trauma to unpack.
Maybe you’re:
↦ Here because you come from old money and Daddy wouldn’t send you to any place less.
↦ Kicked out of other schools and Bakersfield’s toughest programs are going to get you back on track.
↦ A brainy little nobody who’s grade grubbing got you into the best academy around.
↦ Alumni of this legendary school, come back to teach.
↦ Any other genre trope you might need to to tap.

[Yet he skipped over the most important part of that story. Doctor, why?]
Wait, what happened to the patient!?
no subject
[ A beat. ]
Someone was still inside of it…
no subject
[Wait, isn't that a crime? Shouldn't she be reporting him for a criminal act? Is there even a law about this somewhere?
Well, on the plus side, she hasn't left the room yet. Though, she's certainly not looking all that relaxed either.]
no subject
Well, no. The guy inside the costume leaned a little too far to the left, so…
[ Maybe he shouldn’t look too disappointed about this? ]
no subject
[Is that what she might end up doing? Will she accidentally stitch people together in a half-asleep daze during her finals despite being a high schooler? Will she make a man walk around attached to a mascot costume for the rest of her life?
The idea was horrifying. Had she been a little less horrified, she might even notice something off about his story. 'It', for one, and the fact that this should be national level news or something. Why would their school hire someone who messed up that badly on a real human being?
Alas, it's Doctor Corax, whose pokerface was so perfect it's impossible not to take him seriously.]
I... I see. So I could potentially make a man turn into half a mascot if I don't sleep properly for my exams.
[Horrifying.]
I'll... sleep properly tonight, and every night from now on.

He’ll consider this a successful diagnosis. ]
…Good.
[ Silence, as he reconsiders something, and starts tearing up his prescription. ]
I guess you won’t be needing that lobotomy anymore.
no subject
[But okay, she is in tip-top(?) shape now with renewed energy, now that she has a game plan(??) underway. Surely, she won't have to revisit Doctor Corax anytime soon.
So she gets off the bed and pumps her fist, the fire renewed in her heart.]
Then I shall have to read twice as many textbooks now before the library closes! Goodbye Dr. Corax! I'll make sure that Ms. Carleen and Ms. Vice will all stay separate during the examination!
[And you know what? She'll run out before he stops her. Just in case.]
no subject
Time to get back to his cross-stitching then. Maybe he can finally nail down this bloody brain pattern the next time she’s carried in. ]
