The door was closed and the room was dark.

All at once Kai was awake and in the grips of sheer panic, fueled by terror and too scared even to scream. When she was in control of her body, she bolted. She ran for the door and wrenched it open, nearly falling over in the process. She hadn't expected to open that easily. Her worst fear was that it would be locked and she'd be back in the princess room. Neither of those things were true. Light from the lounge spilled into her room. The Mount Zenith room. She wasn't alone. She wasn't locked in. It was okay.

Well, as okay as things could be here.

For what felt like hours she stood in the doorway, still gripping the doorknob and breathing hard. She focused on each individual part of her body, starting with her toes, and consciously forced them to unclench. She worked her way up her feet, her legs, all the way up to her forehead. Deep breaths.

Propping the door open with a pillow she kept near her door, she managed to let go of the door, and was relieved that it didn't slam shut and lock. The clock on her desk read a few minutes after 5 AM. Kai hurried to her bed, yanked her comforter off, grabbed her pillow, and headed into the lounge. She went to one of the couches, the one with the yellow throw pillows, wrapped herself in her comforter, and stretched out in the couch. She could not help but audibly sigh in relief. "So much better," she mumbled, turning herself into a burrito in her giant white down comforter and snuggling into the cushions. She was back to sleep before the smile of relief had faded from her lips.

Day 8.

Weather: In the late night-to-early morning hours, the snow gets heavier and the wind picks up. The winds are noisy and it's absolutely freezing outside, but the blizzard stops around noon. Huge snowdrifts are a problem, but the roads are somehow passable. TPTB must have been out with the salt trucks in the night. That's not weird at all.

Events: There is no message from TPTB today. People are not locked in their rooms, nor are they moved, if they fell asleep somewhere different. Well, that's a first. Also, the special delivery system is still working, as long as those involved don't mention it to Marco. Or, any of their new housemates!

That's right. At any point between 5-8 AM (aw yeah, switchin' things up), Chase, Juno, Edwin, Kai, Jack, and Lennon wake up in their old rooms. Their players are invited to flip a coin as to whether or not they feel sore and groggy. Otherwise? Everything's as they left it. They're even wearing whatever they were wearing last. Oh. And all their injuries are healed. Good as new. And believe-you-me, in the case of Edwin's hand? That is really saying some shit.
