Hi this is NOT DDLC au, this is ANOTHER au where Sage is in a highschool. This is modern/human au where Sage is a normal human who has actual disorders instead of ghost disorders. She's exactly as dramatic about highschool problems as she is about ghost problems tho.
WIP! SO VERY WIP! but i must go to bed. DONT READ IT YET.
.
I'm dead
Sage as a "ghost". Maximum drama for this first part. Honestly, should be fitting for normal canon.
The blood is all but draining from my head
blood dripping from her eyes
The nightmare started there, but now has spread
bullet wounds yaay
My pulse is certainly droppin'
Sage can be a little silly even when she's bleeding out
And my life is hangin' on by a thread
Close her eyes and camera moves to show...
I'm scared
Grey's turn! She's also dead and ghosty
Someone comes for me, I'm unprepared
Looking over her shoulder, so nervous
The wait has got me sweatin'
Both of them, parallel
I can't cut through all the tension
Camera closer in, yknow to convey tension or whatever
It's hell on Earth, you know
Yellow, so tired
I'm tweetin' all about it
Blue XP
I take it blow by blow
Red, powering through
But I'd never scream or shout it
All of em, shots cut together, Sage in the center goin ><
Passing period is over, find your seats
Hard cut to The Real World, Sage alive and fine in high school classroom
.
High school is killin' me
It's got me all out of rhythm and my melody
It's not cool, it's a fallacy
It's a cruel and unusual brutality
And I can survive it for only so long
High school is killin' me
I'm so fuckin' dead
chorus set up... lots to explain here ill get back to it
Alright, class, pop quiz! I hope you've been hittin' thе books... Miss [Lauter]!
Shit.
first time Sage talks for reals. local delinquent that she is. bad at school.
.
I was up all late last night and I couldn't fuckin' study
(Didn't want to anyway!)
Backup vocals are The Sages chipping in. This one's very Blue
I was deep in a Twitter fight about a problеmatic puppy
(Problematic pooch)
lol red is a problematic dog
I had heart palpitations
Tryna convert crypto to lunch money
Dramatically laying across her desk. She would have to deal with crypto bullshit
There's nowhere to turn
For the class of twenty-twenty-wurn
.
High school is killin' me
It's got me all out of rhythm and my melody
(My melody, my melody)
A cesspool, faux democracy
It's one hell of a normal abnormality
(Agh, agh, agh!)
the sages fightinggg
And I can survive it for only so long
(Only so long)
High school is killin' me
I'm so fuckin'–
chorus shenanigans interrupted by Sage *gasp* talking to someone??
.
Hey! Hey, geek.
Me?
Your name's Jay, right?
Yeah?
Hi, Jay. [We've been in classes together for a long time, haven't we?]
(I'm so fuckin' dead)
some of The Sages do Not approve of this activity
[Ever since the first grade]
And I'm just realizing, I've never introduced myself!
I'm Sage.
(I'm so fuckin' dead)
they're very distracting
[—Lauter], the mayor's daughter, I know.
Yeah, but my friends [call me Sage]. We're friends, aren't we, Jay?
(I'm so fuckin' dead)
they are not (yet)
I don't know, are we?
Oh, I wouldn't advertise it to the whole school or anything, but, uh–
I think the original implication of this line is that it would hurt Steph's reputation, but to be clear, Jay's reputation is the one at stake in this exchange. He should not be associating with Sage.
(High school)
Yellow is pointing that ^ stuff up there out.
–but there's an unspoken bond between us! We're classmates, comrades, we're Nighthawks!
We don't leave anyone behind
I got left behind this morning, The bus driver's a fuckin' asshole
Yeah! We succeed together and we fail together
And I won't mince words, I'm gonna fail this test, Jay
Unless you help me cheat
Cheat?!
(I'm so fuckin' dead)
oh BIG reactions to this plan from the sages
(Eight o'clock bell ring, place my head on my desk)
internal dialogue
Come on, just finish your exam, pass it to me and I'll put my name on it
(Twelve o'clock, Girl Scout, can I just get my rest?)
internal dialogue
I'll give you mine, you get to take the test all over again
