Half Past Midnight

Who: Kai and Marcus
When: Anesus 5, late night/early morning after 12:30 AM
Where: Marcus’s Room

Though it couldn’t be said that Kai was starting to lose faith in her surroundings, she was really starting to feel quite lonely. Though she’d met many of the compounds other inhabitants and was slowly starting to sort out the myriad scents all over the place, including those that told her there were several Lykos packs around, she was still looking for a place where she could fit and stay for more than just a passing conversation. Oh, she knew she’d have one eventually, of course she would…but she was really starting to have that nagging complaint that she wanted a place now. If she hadn’t known things would work out eventually, she might have wished she was male—then she could make a place and form a pack all her own. But as it was, she just had to keep drifting for now.

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: 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: Marcus and Bramble
When: mid-morning, Anesus 3
Where: Solar Room/Marcus' room

When the bricks had mysteriously gone missing from several sections of wall, Marcus hadn't noticed it. He was not much of a night person, and at half-past-midnight he'd been asleep for a couple of hours, at least. The change in the quality of light had not disturbed him, not then and not when the sun had risen, because he had the habit of sleeping mostly buried in covers, only a tiny gap left for his nose to emerge. He was a covered lump in his bed, and if any Lykos in their natural form had climbed through one of the holes to sniff at him, possibly, he hadn't known a thing.

Who: Marcus and Tayne
When: Anesus 2, mid-morning
Where: the Oratory

Marcus lay on his back on one of the benches in the Oratory, gazing calmly up at the high windows that were set with stained glass of all colors. Although it was chilly outside, the sun was high, and he was striped with bands of colored light. Green, purple, red, blue, yellow. He could see the hues as they hit his clothed body; idly, he lifted a hand up to within two inches of his nose to view the near-turquoise and green light play over his fingers. He was dressed in pants and his usual layers of shirts, his blond hair still damp from the bath he'd taken shortly before coming down here.
