Who: Holly and Faith
Where: Faith's place
When: After lunch

As soon as Faith had told Holly she was feeling a little down Holly decided to take herself - and her pet hedgehog Anders - over to Faith's place so she could cheer her friend up and Anders could get some play time with a fellow hedgehog. She had a quick lunch and left right after, Anders sitting comfortably inside his cage on the passenger's seat of her car.

It wasn't that long a drive to Faith's home, but then again nothing was too long a drive in Scarlet Oak. Holly liked that very much; somehow it made her feel even more at home, not having to commute too long to get to most places. She parked the car at the nearest space and, picking up Anders' cage, went to ring Faith's doorbell with the bright smile of someone who wanted to successfully cheer up a friend.

She also brought chocolate, because who doesn't like chocolate when feeling down? And Holly knew about the chemical implications of this: chocolate released endorphins which in turn made people feel better. It was fun for her as a woman of humanities to learn little bits of science here and there after all.

Who: Linnea and Kajsa
When: Morning
Where: Niemi Home

( I just drank too much and it went to my head. )

Who: Dylan & Frances
Where: Redleaf lake
When: Afternoon

Lots of humans were around today. Well, lots of humans were around every day, but at certain times there always appeared to be more of them. Take now, for instance; the adolescent humans in their varying stages of development were always more visible than in the morning or the early hours of the afternoon. They carried bags on their shoulders and books in their hands and walked in lines, talking and laughing with one another.

For a while, Dylan had been watching a pair of humans writhing against one another not far from the water's edge. The male kept grabbing at all of the soft, wobbly parts of the female, which human females seemed to enjoy before mating (why were they so wobbly anyway? Mermaids had too much muscle to wobble like that). But this female didn't seem happy with her chosen partner, and started to pull away when his hands moved up her thigh. When he scrambled off her, the female stood up and, after saying something Dylan couldn't quite make out, stormed off through the trees, with the male following behind her.

Well that was no fun.

Dylan had circled the lake a couple of times before coming to the surface beneath a small wooden jetty. There was a person sitting directly above him, the tip of their shoe hanging over the edge. Someone new to play with? He certainly hoped so.

He sank beneath the water and swam further up one side of the jetty, rising to the surface slowly, silently. His claws slithered up one of the support beams and he pulled himself up so that his elbows were resting on the surface of the wood. The human - definitely female - had her back to him; she was looking out to the water. Resting his head on his elbow, Dylan stared at the girl, waiting for her to realise that she was being watched. Humans were quite good at that, but only within a certain distance. Their instincts were so limited.

Who: Jack and Bunny
When: Immediately after school
Where: SOHS

It had to be some kind of a record.

Bunny wasn’t a complete stranger to detention – she’d gotten it once or twice before, usually for tardiness more than anything else. But she’d never managed to land detention a mere three days into the school year. Clearly Ms. Figg, her trig teacher, was not one to be messed with. Trig was her third period class, right before lunch, and Bunny had started to zone out. Truth be told she hadn’t gotten nearly enough sleep the previous night, and she’d been something of a zombie all morning. She’d allowed her mind to wander, and before she knew it she’d been scribbling a silly little poem into her notebook about the teacher, and the next thing she knew a rather angry and red-faced teacher was slamming a pointer on the edge of Bunny’s desk for attention. It had not ended well. She demanded that Bunny report to the library for detention at the end of the day, and Bunny had been too shocked (and a little startled) to even think of arguing it.

When she showed up, there were no other students. There was no Ms. Figg either, which annoyed Bunny. If she was going to dish out detentions, she should have at least been there! She reported in with the librarian, pointed her over to a cluster of desks in the far corner after she had Bunny sign in. Sighing heavily, she resigned herself too it. She headed over to a desk, dropped her bag, and came to terms with the fact that she had a very boring hour ahead of her.

Who: Cole and Lilith
Where: Landers' home
When: Early morning

( 'I want to stay home and make cookies with you.' )

DATE: Wednesday, August 26, 2009.

BIRTHDAYS: None

WEATHER: Outside it’s damp and uncomfortably hot and humid, but the rain has stopped.

EVENTS: As things went calmly and smoothly at the hotel opening last night, the news is still completely dominated by the death of Zachary Temple. The block where his body was found still hasn’t been opened to the public, and his former apartment is being heavily guarded. No more statements have been made, but speculation is everywhere. His family – including extended relatives – are being sought out, and anyone with any information on him is urged to contact the police.

If you have something you feel warrants a mention in the next time update, please let the mods know!
