Thread: Mermaid & Postman Who: Arla Lawrence & David de Souza When: Around two in the morning, Wednesday, September 11 Where: Basement hallway, between Arla's room and David's room What: Arla's freaking out about the fact that a registration guy is going to come inspect the school. David's probably gonna calm her down.
Arla taught her classes just fine. She seemed all right during the day, but at night she wasn't able to sleep. She feared going to bed and waking up to a raid. She didn't want to think about what would happen if the school was invaded. Her experience with the Morlocks haunted her in ways she didn't even realize. ---Add into the fact that she was a little on the mentally unstable and it was a recipe for long sleepless nights.
Normally she kept to her room on nights like this, but she wasn't comfortable in the dark. She got up, she wandered. She went swimming in the basement pool. Once she'd dried off and changed back into pajamas and a bathrobe, she drank and she paced, crossing the length of the hall and back again. Over and over and over. Waiting and listening and waiting some more. She wasn't going to be caught off-guard in the event that they were attacked. That's what was going to happen. They'd be attacked, people would die, and she'd lose her home again.
