Marcus woke to find a much more yellow variety of sunlight coming in his window. He had had an excellent time the day before, with the snowball fight and the requisite hot cocoa afterwards, but had been getting tired of the wintry landscape, to be honest. He had been around Mirage for a while, however, and knew things were going to change soon. He was delighted, therefore, but not surprised, to look out the front door of his apartment and see a green lawn leading down to a charming lake. The sound of birds singing had returned, along with air that smelled clean and was crisp enough to wake you up, but not enough to require gloves and a hat. He also found a note posted on his door.

Having been through this before, Marcus knew exactly what this was. Reading the note over quickly, he memorized the particulars, and got on with his morning routine. He estimated that he had just enough time to run through his exercises, get dressed, and have breakfast before he had to be in front of the main building at nine o'clock. When choosing his outfit, the Ranger surprised himself by opting not to wear his customary uniform. Though it was well-suited to any environmental conditions, and though he was not overly concerned with his appearance, he had come to the feeling that experimenting with other clothing was one of the pleasures the planet allowed them, so why not take advantage of it, as long as he dressed sensibly.

So it was that he found himself standing in front of the front door of the lodge at five-to-nine, dressed in long cotton pants, a t-shirt under a long-sleeved flannel jacket, woolen socks, and hiking boots. Against the wall of the lodge, golems had arranged four rucksacks, fully-stocked for a day-hike, along with four walking sticks. Marcus had just hefted his pack for the first time, when he saw another hiker approaching.

Sidney had found the note after another round of nightmares that were a mix of the large rabbit and Ghostface. "Oh joy, especially after a night of little sleep" but she decided she was going to make the best of things as she dressed in simple jeans,a black cotton shirt and black hiking boots. "At least hiking is ok, it could be worse but only having to face 3 people is not so bad" as she slung back her coffee before heading outside, munching on a breakfast bar as she walked.

The brunette only spotted a guy that she guessed was a tiny bit older than her. But for now she just stood there but finally forced herself to speak,"This the spot for hiking hiking?" her eyes a little worse for wear but she was otherwise in one piece. She had a feeling they had talked via the journals the prior night but had to be sure.
