Where: Laund-o-Suds
When: Midday

You know, this is pretty boring.

The thought cut through Dae's reading. Usually it was pretty hard to do that but he still wasn't used to having someone in there other than himself. Piccolo's voice was pretty noticeable too since it sounded nothing like his or anyone else's that he knew. So he lifted his eyes from the book, an old and well-worn copy of the Socratic Dialogues and focused in on the bowl with the lily pad where his familiar was perched. "It's not boring," he countered. Dae didn't believe in being bored. Probably because it never actually happened for him. Instead he'd play with the wind or read a book or close up early and go home to play with Zoey. Except he'd closed early the past three nights and had a feeling that a fourth would just get him some sort of a lecture from Anya about responsibility. Wasn't his fault that it was boring. Opening a new laundromat wasn't exactly a big thing anywhere and it wasn't like people were flooding in to use the machines or have their dry cleaning done. The rain probably wasn't helping.

It's boring when you're a frog. I'm hungry too.

"There was a fly buzzing around earlier. Eat that." Dae gave a vague wave, already turned back to his book.

That was yesterday, Dae.

Scene with Barnabas and Diana.

Who: Dashiell and Diana
Where: The new Elias home
When: Afternoon

Moving into a house was a straining experience not helped at all by the fading storm. So most people would've rather moved when it wasn't raining but Diana had enjoyed the process of searching for a house during the storm. The realtor had been confused and Barnabas had insisted on staying in the hotel but Diana had been insistent and when the elemental insisted on something she did get her way. But now the beautiful weather had changed into this drizzle and, while Diana toyed with the idea of making it stronger, the Elias family was moving into their new Scarlet Oak house. Aetheria, Aurora and Amaya seemed settled there and since Caelia was there as well it seemed only reasonable to move in for awhile. Until Diana could convince them to come back to Greece where they belonged. The money hadn't been a problem, Barnabas had some sort of fund that Diana didn't completely understand but the lack of a mountain or at least a cliff was disheartening. Where was all of the wind supposed to come from?

Sighing to herself and ignoring the clipped remark from her familiar about how they should've been doing all of this at night, Diana glanced around until she spotted her son. My son. It warmed her heart to be able to think those words again and know that he was right there. She could reach out and touch him and not worry about what was happening to him or where he was. "Dashiell," she called, waving him over to the car. "Help me with this box." She didn't need the help since it was just full of the gauzy white curtains she liked because of how they moved in the wind, she just wanted him to be nearer. Until she'd gotten used to the fact that he wasn't going anywhere Diana was probably going to be a little doting. Unless her mind wandered, which was quite likely.

Who: Diana and Dashiell
When: July 11th, early evening
Where: Ann Arbor AmTrak Station and other places

Dashiell got off the train when the conductor told him to. As he stepped out, the conductor gave him the strangest look, asked him one more time if he was sure before shrugging and letting the boy step out into his quote-unquote imminent doom. Dashiell, on the other hand, was blissfully unaware of any strange going-ons in Scarlet Oak or in Ann Arbor, for that matter. He was simply on his way to what he heard was a safer place.

( Reunited coz we understood. )

Who: Aetheria, Aurora, Barnabas and Diana
Where: Local park
When: Afternoon

( Finally found what we're looking for )

Who: Diana and Linnea
Where: Starbucks --> Sidewalks
When: Early morning

Somehow Barnabas was sleeping. Diana didn't even know how that was possible when he had claimed upon their arrival in this place that they were close to finding them. Which them was still up for debate, but he'd said that perhaps it was one of the twins, or both of them because those were the images he got. If it's one it must be the other, Diana told herself as she called a cab. Using a phone was still odd to her but she'd managed to figure out the basics. Dial the number and it was just like talking to someone who was in the same room even if you couldn't see them. And yelling was unnecessary, Barnabas had made that very clear. People didn't like having their ears screamed in. So after scribbling out a note for Barnabas, she went down and hopped in the cab, chatting idly with the driver. Her husband had mentioned Scarlet Oak and Diana, being herself, was not going to wait for him to wake up to check it out. Not if one of their children was there.

( If you're going to smoke those funny tasting things in the future then I think you should do it at home. Locked in your room. Forbidden to leave until you're able to think straight. )
