Status: Open, Ongoing
Pace had fallen into a decent exercise routine since he had been at the Keep. Since it was Tuesday, it was supposed to be a day he went and ran on a treadmill for a little while, but the rain was intent on putting a damper on things. Might as well just swap it out for a swim day because then being wet wouldn’t really matter on the way there or back and he could just shower the chlorine off back at his cabin instead of in the Keep like he usually did. No point if he was just going to get soaked on his journey back. Maybe he would request an umbrella for future crap days. Then again, they could just make the wind blow harder, causing it to rain sideways, and the one he could receive would then be useless. The trip to the Keep itself had been uneventful by Dome standards. He hadn’t been attacked by anything even though he saw plenty of smaller dinosaurs meandering about, there was no wall preventing him from entering the building, and everything seemed relatively okay. There were bigger and more fearsome things out in the other parts of the Dome, it was easy to tell from the animal sounds in the distance, but for now he was safe from things. Or so he thought. Pace headed for the pool area, shrugging off his shirt and dropping it onto the floor to be picked up later. Didn’t matter if it got any wetter than it already was. He moved to kick his shoes off and then stopped. Something about the room didn’t feel right. He looked around and didn’t see anything that looked abnormal, but he could feel it. He tried to shrug it off, thinking it was just stress triggering his anxiety, but by the time his shoes were off it was even worse. Something wasn’t right in here and he needed out, now. Leaving his clothing he darted back out of the pool room. Things felt fine out here. He peeked back into the room and still saw nothing. Maybe he really was just overreacting. Pace steeled himself, gave himself a mental peptalk, and headed back in only to come running right back out a few seconds later. So it definitely was the room itself. No one should go in there. At all. Someone was going to get hurt and it was terrifying in there. He decided to stand guard to make sure no one else wandered in there and managed to have whatever horrible could happen, he didn’t know what but it was going to happen if they went in there and he knew that part, to them. |
