MarinaNova Asylum

[Jack's announcement to the DF gave Tieria the exact excuse he needed to avoid Lyle today. He didn't know really why it mattered to him so much, but he wasn't up to the possibility of being scrutinized during the economics class.

He holed up himself up in the back corner of the library under the pretense of doing research on vampires and gypsy magic for the Defense Force. Really, it was just that he was trying to avoid crowds.]

[voice]

[He sounded a little forced at being steady and keeping his tone flat. He was also speaking kind of quickly compared to his usual speech patterns.]

Something came up. I will not be available to assist with class today.

[He wasn't a great liar.]

[ Clay tries to avoid wandering. It's not a natural for him, not anymore. When he was a child he'd do anything to get out of the house and run, but that was a long time ago. It's been beaten out of him, so to speak. The fact he's already been attacked here for doing exactly that doesn't speak to his safety. But there's one thing here he hasn't inspected-- the starscape. Is it the same? He's spent aeons watching the stars, the moon, the sky, locked in the animus, but he hasn't managed it for even a minute here in this prison. ]

[ He has a single sparkler, unlit, and finds himself in a park during dusk, waiting for the sun to finally set. ]

Has anyone seen Elena Gilbert today? I've been looking for her and I'm starting to think that she's gone home. I just need to be sure.

Thanks.

[That's all she needs to say at the moment, but Bonnie still keeps her communication device on.]

[Jack's been keeping an eye on Spike's apartment, wanting to know when Spike makes his return. Unfortunately, the problem with vampires who sleep (literally) like the dead is that you can't be sure by listening whether there's anyone in the apartment. So he has to open the door to find out.

And, on this particular evening, he opens it to find Rose already in there. He hesitates, mouth opening and shutting, wondering what Spike's told her, whose side she's on... whether, frankly, she's going to go for him. He did give her lover a pretty damn good beating, after all.]

[Around \ Open]
[Kitty will be at the athletic complex running laps and attacking dummies. She'll also be at the DF headquarters taking care of a few things and between other destinations. Approach with caution. She's not in the greatest of moods and the claws are on even if they aren't out yet. So help you if you throw a popper her way.]

[Sector 6 \ Open]
[This used to be her sector—leader of the patrol team that kept an eye on things. She disbanded that team and reorganized the day Reid left. It wasn't a fresh start so much as a priority shift. She does want to get a special team together to explore and analyze sector 6. She tells herself that's why she's heading in there now, but it's not the only reason. She hasn't seen Tyki since the dreams. Not that she knows what she wants to say to him or if she'd even run into him. Better if she doesn't really. Of course, either way she's likely to run into someone or something.]

[Home \ Closed to Reid & Nathan]
[Long day and she didn't come out of it unscathed. There's a couple of shallow slashes on her shoulder and a nasty bruise on her thigh. They're both currently hidden, but there's a blood stain on the jacket where it soaked through. The material is dark so it's not that easy to see.

Even so she stopped to get an assortment of Indian food and a cheesecake. They might not really go together but cheesecake sounded good and she's the one with the cuts.]

Boys? I'm home.
