Annie was not a fan of the the dome or whatever it was that sent her back to her room every night. Nothing against her roommates. They seemed fine and all. She just would have preferred being with Hughie. Somehow, the clowns were a little less creepy that way. But not by much. They were still creepy as fuck.

At least they could roam around wherever they wanted before waking back in their assigned rooms. The sun was beginning to set she and Hughie decided to explore their surroundings. The sky had the reddish, purple glow. It would be a beautiful sight anywhere else.

"I'm not sure how I feel about the only refuge from clowns being a hot desert and an old cemetery," she said as they walked past the cemetery in question.

It still beat clowns.

Hughie had not yet become accustomed to Madison Valley and all the crazy antics of what they called 'The Dome', so he wasn't exactly taking it all in stride. Why would something like this happen? What was the point? Had Homelander somehow managed to find them and sent some weird supe to fuck them up? Like how Mindstorm did with Butcher that one time? Why couldn't they stay with people they knew? Given his past experiences, he was hesitant to trust anyone so easily, but he was doing his best to give his roommates the benefit of the doubt.

"Yeah, well, I'm not sure how I feel about any of this, period. What's up with Butcher, by the way? I mean...I'm glad he's moving on and all that, but..." He let the thought trail off with a shake of his head, unsure as to where he had been going with it.

"At least ghosts aren't real, so if we get stuck in the cemetery..." No. Why was he even going there? "Forget I said anything. Jesus. This is like a living nightmare. Are you sure this is real and not in our minds?"

Annie wasn't sure anyone could ever fully get acclimated to Madison Valley. She also didn't get this whole 'Dome' situation. How could something like that have so much power and seeming sentience?

"I think it's real," she said quietly. "And I don't think another Supe did this. I really want to believe that isn't the case."

She really didn't want them to be losing their minds. "At least there don't appear to be actual clowns around?"

That was something, right? "As for Butcher? I never knows what's up with him and don't want to know now. He probably feels the same about me."

[ooc: no worries! <3]

He let out a contemplative sigh and just nodded his head. Annie had been here for longer and she had a good head on her shoulders. Hughie was confident she would know the difference.

"Oh God. That would be the last thing we need. Especially if they were like the creepy ones, like from that movie where they come from outer space." That movie had given him the serious creeps and he remembered leaving the light on his bedroom for days after watching it.

"Butcher is just complicated, that's all. I mean, he's biased against you because of Homelander." He gave her hand a squeeze and moved to sit down on a bench in the middle of the cemetery, blocking the fact from his mind and pretending they were in a park instead.
