Half Past Midnight

Who: Alarie and Churat
Where: Second floor, then climbing down to the first floor
When: Early afternoon

Alarie was getting restless - what with the rain pouring outside. She felt cooped up, with not much to do other than track down her brother and bug him for a couple of hours. She had been trying to give him some space, not wanting to smother him too badly with her presence. Wandering along the second floor, Alarie pushed her hair behind her ears, eyes sweeping along some of the faces passing by her. She was desperate enough for company that she would probably snag anyone she recognized for a conversation. If she couldn't find anyone up here, Alarie considered heading down into the basement to see if she could find Desdemona again. She hadn't talked to the girl since they met, but she was friendly enough and surely would be up for company if she was awake.

Who: Marcus and Churat
When: Anesus 4, 12:00 PM
Where: first floor, pantry

It had definitely been an eventful morning. Marcus had nearly fallen to what would have been an unpleasant death, had banged his elbow to the point that it was quite swollen, and had participated in performing a spell. Even if in the most passive of ways, he'd helped! The spell might've been completely gross, but it had worked, and he'd met a new potential friend. He'd eventually wandered back to his room, unsure what to do about the pantry duty he was supposed to have since he couldn't get downstairs. Once he'd ventured out again, he'd discovered Tayne and several people he didn't know putting the finishing touches on a rope ladder of sorts that could be used to get downstairs.

It wasn't any easy feat to climb down the rope with his elbow the way it was, though he felt fortunate that it had just about gone numb. He heaved a sigh as his feet touched the stone floor, brushed blond hair out of his eyes and headed for the kitchen and pantry area.

WHO: Davie and Ryder
WHEN: Anesus 4, 11 am
WHERE: Where the basement staircase should be.

When Davie awake, he could only wonder at the time. At home, he had been an early riser, taking advantage of the hour or two he had usually had before too many other people were up and active. Here, it seemed, weird happenings at late hours and a tendency to stay up even later because of them seemed to be shifting his schedule. Thinking on which, he hadn't noticed anything especially strange happening last night. Maybe he wasn't one of the people affected by it. If that was really the case, so much the better.

Who: Svathe and Tayne
When: Anesus 4, 8:30 AM
Where: Basement base of missing staircase

Despite the stairs going the way of the ancestors, despite the fact that Svathe had found himself trapped in the grim-smelling basement on his only day off of the week, despite that the windows hadn't yet disappeared and he had been sorely tempted to pay clandestine visits to the more interesting members of the compound (though he dared not, not when Cratch was sulking and Tabrika was in thorough need of a careful watching)... despite all of this, the Lykos was feeling all but on top of the world.

Who: Marcus and Jacta
When: Anesus 4, 7:00 AM
Where: 2nd floor hallway, next to the stairwell

Marcus went to bed reasonably early as a rule, so he also rose early. When he woke up on Anesus 4, the first thing he did was raise himself up onto his elbows in the still-dim light and squint at the closest wall to his bed. There still seemed to be extra windows in the walls due to missing bricks. Yawning, he climbed out of bed and wandered to the actual window, seeing that outside was very cloudy, not a trace of the sun anywhere. It was going to be a day when his eyesight was worse than usual due to the lack of natural light, but since there wasn't anything he could do about that, he decided not to let it trouble him.

Who: Rémy and Elanna
When: Anesus 4, 4:00 AM
Where: the Oratory

To say that Rémy was unhappy at this moment in time would be a gigantic understatement.

He'd gone out at about midnight, wanting to supplement his last feed with animal blood of some sort, even though he knew what the consequences for him would be. He could usually find an amenable human, but thus far that night, those he traded with or who willingly fed him were otherwise occupied, and he'd lost patience with searching the castle. Also, he'd felt like being outside for a while even though the air was cool and damp with impending rain.

Who: Desdemona and Kai
When: Anesus 4, 12:45 AM
Where: First Floor Stairwell

When the holes remained all over the walls, Desdemona assumed that the test remained, not that another had appeared. She'd been sitting in the Main Hall with a few other of her kind, then breathed a small sigh of relief when nothing seemed to change. Having risen from her chair, she started back to her room, thinking she might change into something a bit more comfortable before heading out for the night. Her mind wandered, wondering what she might chase, or if she would just play in the darkness alone. It was a silly thing to dedicate her thoughts to, and she felt even more foolish when she tripped, thinking she should watch where she was going right before she understood the situation in full.

Who: Jo, Paziter (And Harlan?)
When: Anesus 4, 12:30AM
Where: The Staircase

Placeholder!

Weather: Dark clouds cover the sky, creating a rather dim dawn to start the day. By noon, it starts to drizzle, the light rain made colder by the continued winds. Rain falls harder as the sun sinks down over the horizon and a full Lenhakriron moon rises in the sky. Lightening strikes bright in the night from the mountains to the north. A storm is on it's way.

12:30 AM
With holes still littering the walls, it seems the castle is disappearing, brick by brick. As the clock strikes half past midnight, the stone steps that lead up to the second floor vanish from sight. The basement stairs are quick to follow, leaving gaping holes where the stairwells used to be. There is no easy way to move between floors, as the distance between them is too far for even a Lykos to jump in full form, let alone a Vrykola or Human. Getting to and from one's room is apparently the challenge tonight, and it's definitely going to be a challenge.
