Who: OPEN to anyone that wants to spill into the Lobby after they completed their group hell.
What: Probably a lot of wigging out.
Where: The Lobby.
When: After Group C's exit--they were pretty early on, so chances are it was before yours.
Warnings: We'll say language, since people are unhappy.
Notes: 1) The doors to the Group Hells turn back into the doorway down into the basement after people are through. 2) You can't see where they've been. 3) There's no posting order. Just reply to the main post with a new thread if there are specific participants you want to reply to--make sure you note who they are and what the char is reacting to, or leave it open, up to you. I don't have specific directions, my brain is not wired for public planning right now.

Iris looked about as good as she felt. The gray-toned sleep clothes she was wearing didn't do anything to help the ghastly color of her normally bright features, and her eyes were burnt red by stress and tears. As soon as her bare feet sensed wood flooring instead of the cold concrete of the horrible room with the lights, she took her hand from Peter's arm and stood up herself. She wasn't much paying attention to where she was going, and she kept tensing up under hard waves of wracking shudders that went up her spine.

She was trying not to think about what might have happened when she pointed that gun at Peter, but she was too used to sudden attacks of panic and now she was having a hard time breaking that loop of continuous explosive fear. Mostly blind to her surroundings, she didn't look back for John and Cole, she just went forward toward the stair and vague perceptions of safety.

Micah nodded to John. "We've met," he said, assuming whatever they had to do had been very different than summoning some ugly, winged octopus. "It was sadistic, but not like yours, I don't think," he said in reply to Peter, and he was just about to elaborate when Iris recoiled and then dropped to her knees.

He crouched in front of her in a second, and he looked up at the other two men, even as he reached for her wrist and took her pulse, his other hand coming up to cup her cheek. "What the fuck happened?" he demanded of them, his expression worried and hard.

	John scrubbed his hand over his face. "Sadistic doesn't even start to cover it," he grumbled, kneeling beside Iris on the other side. "It was." He swallowed hard and shook his head. "We had to trust people. And then shoot at them." He looked at Peter, his eyes silently asking the other man not to disclose anything in great detail. "It was God-awful."

	Micah, who was standing in front of the stove over the coffee maker, mimicked Stefan's squiddy fingers at his chin. He laughed at the memory, and he motioned for Peter to sit down on one of the barstools. "She fall asleep?" he asked, nodding toward the bedroom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
