250 - Fear Itself Mingle
[ Today is a day where most would be at risk of oversleeping.The dome lies dark like in the dead of night. The sun hasn’t risen today, streetlights casting a dull yellow glow and occasionally flickering out into nothing, only to spark back to life a moment later. There is no electric flicker from the kiosk. The Wardens are still. The wardens are silent.

The dome isn’t silent. There is a rustling of leaves, a snapping of twigs. Claws, scraping against concrete. The inhuman screech of an animal in peril, an animal hunting, an animal hunted. A screech that promises sharp claws and sharper teeth and blood.

The dome isn’t still either. There is something moving, thick as a shadow, tangible as a chill down your spine. Something that doesn’t belong here, something that snuck in when no one was looking. A boogeyman under the bed. A ghost in the closet. A will o’ the wisp, blinking in and out of existence under the flickering streetlights. Whatever it is it’s moving, leaving a trail of cold, dead fear wherever it passes. Something dark. A shadow so pitch black that it blots out the very lights in your heart, dragging your fears out screaming and kicking, reducing even the strongest, toughest man to a blubbering baby.

Perhaps best to stay in bed today, Marina. ]

	Sarah nodded. "I mean, I guess. My only sibling is still a baby... and he's really only my half brother." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have a half-sister," Piper offered. "The youngest of us, Paige. She's our mother's daughter, but she has a different father." It was still a little awkward to think about. "We actually only found out about her just around a year ago." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Really?" Sarah looked interested. "But... you only found out about her a year ago? What happened?" Tact... she doesn't have it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's kind of a long story, I guess," she said. "And not really the best one. My parents had separated for a bit, and Mom had been with another man. She kept the pregnancy secret and didn't tell anyone, even after she came back, because she gave Paige up for adoption." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sorry. Shouldn't have asked. There's just... so much going on and so many new things and... I don't normally talk to a lot of other people. More of a reader than anything..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, it's okay," she said. "You were curious. We don't really know each other all that well. It's natural to ask questions." Piper tried to shrug it off. She didn't want Sarah to feel terrible about asking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Even so," Sarah shrugs uncomfortably, "I should have known better." She takes another bite of the burger... golly is it good!... and looks back to Piper after swallowing. "But here! You can ask me another question. Then we'll be even!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That got her to laugh a little. "Even, huh?" Things, as complicated as they were as a teenager, had been easier, now that she looked back. No weird witch powers, no bills, no job, no multi-dimensional prisons... She kind of wanted to go back to that, but with the insight to know she had it better.

"Okay." She looked thoughtful. "Well, we've covered the family stuff, I think. What kinds of things do you do outside of school?"

"I read. A lot. And um... sometimes, when I can get away, I go to the park and I act out my favorite scenes with my dog Merlin."

She smiles a little abashed. "Irene thinks it's silly. It's why she makes me babysit all the time... because according to her I don't do anything. But it is something! And I also sometimes go to the movie theatre in town to see the new movies."

Sarah doesn't mention any friends. She doesn't have any.

Piper smiled a little.

"Sounds like you're kind of a bookworm. Not that it's a bad thing," she said. "And movies are good, too. And getting outside." She chuckled a little.

"You know, my grandmother had a dog when I was in high school. His name was Rasputin."

Of course, Piper was used to some level of social interaction with friends and what not, so it was kind of assumed. She didn't catch on that the omission was for a particular reason such as that.
