| Who: Maggie and Mal Where: Lumber Mill When: Late Morning Though the power was back on, Maggie doubted anyone was going to stop by her salon today. People were too focused on the wolf attacks to consider getting their haircut, so she closed down shop and set out to run a few chores of her own. One was getting more firewood, just in case another cold front blew through. It was an errand that required her to roll a wheelbarrow across town, knowing full well that she wouldn’t be able to carry the firewood back on her own. When she showed up at the lumbermill, she gave a look around, not sure who to talk to. ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Finn and Audrey and later Liam Where: Their house, on the way to the hospital, hospital When: late evening Finn had waited as long as he could, finally finding Liam and pushing him into the space that they’d taken Eli that they wouldn’t let Finn into. He hadn’t even seen his wounds taken care of, but they’d stopped bleeding, drying stuck to his shirt and it didn’t matter otherwise. What mattered was getting them all in the same place. Which was why, when no one was looking, he left. He could still hear the growls, but his goal was home and he was able to move quickly, letting himself in and shutting the door behind him to call for her. “Audrey!” ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Claire and Gabe When: Evening Where: Gabe’s house Claire wasn’t entirely sure how she managed to get from the hospital to Gabe’s back door. She felt completely numb, and the last thing she fully remembered was standing in the morgue, staring at Ren’s body. And now she was standing in front of a door, her arms wrapped around herself tightly to fight off the chill she was feeling. She wasn’t sure how she was supposed to do this. Claire didn’t want to do this, and for a very brief moment, she considered letting Thessaly break the news to Gabe instead. She would surely know by the time she left the hospital, right? Only that wasn’t very fair, and it made Claire feel like a coward to think it, so she pushed that idea aside just as quickly as it came to her. She didn’t actually move until she heard the howls in the distance, and that seemed to snap her back to reality. Exhaling sharply, Claire reached for the doorknob, and for the first time since moving into the dome, she didn’t bother knocking before she let herself inside. She tried to call out for Gabe, but her throat was dry and closed up, so she searched for him instead. ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Avery and Eily When: Late afternoon Where: Hospital cafeteria After a less than pleasant introduction to Lochlan’s auction date, Avery was in the hospital cafeteria, pushing some food around on a plate, much like she had done that morning while waiting to see her brother. Eventually she would have to go home, probably before dark, and she was already thinking a shower and bed sounded really good, as long as she didn’t have to talk to Darcy beforehand. She was already in a foul mood and Avery knew Darcy would only make it worse. Sighing, Avery began to push her peas together in a straight line, making a silly pattern without really thinking about it, her cheek resting on her palm and a frown on her face. Eily knew she needed to put something in her stomach, even if her body really felt like it was going to violently reject anything she attempted to eat. Still, she knew she had to give it a shot, at any rate. So, she went to the cafeteria. Spotting Avery, she watched her for a long moment, then drew in a breath and let it out in a rush, walking over. "Hey." she greeted. ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Mannix, Mickey, December, and Serge Where: December’s House to start When: 3:30am onwards When the text from Zania came in, Mannix headed straight for the hospital, glad that December lived so close. The idea of his brother bleeding out, from a wolf attack of all things, had him rattled, especially since he’d heard wolves in the distance, as well as gunshots. The hospital was dark when he arrived, but he could see better than most and he navigated the hallways, asking questions and looking for his brother. Eventually he got the information he was looking for-- Jack had been stabilized, was going to live, but he’d lost a lot of blood. He wouldn’t be leaving the hospital tonight, or even tomorrow. There was nothing he could do but wait. Waiting was not something Mannix did well. Sitting beside his brother’s bed worked only for fifteen minutes before he was out the door again, heading for his house. If wolves were hunting people, then he was going to hunt wolves. He’d just walked in his front door when he received the text from December, so he grabbed his gun and his knife and walked right back out into the night. He was the first one to arrive at December’s house and he took a seat on the porch, the same seat he’d been in hours before. While he still had things he wanted to talk to December about, that could wait for the moment. Killing wolves took priority. ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Micah and Nic Where: The hospital When: late The ambulance rolled up again and Micah was there to meet it, already directing people in the right way. There were significantly less, which was for the best, but Micah was still busy with those he’d already admitted and the few new patients that were brought in. He stood in the bay for the ambulance, giving out the last of the orders. He was going to follow in, but someone had left charts in the front of the van and instead of them doubling back Micah waved them off. He could get it. It wasn’t safe. He’d just told Claire as much, but he was out there, in the dark, by himself. He was feet from the door, the lights of the hospital just a few steps away, but as he closed the door behind him he heard the growl. It was close. Right behind him. Slowly Micah turned, seeing the wolf, eying him almost lazily. Like it knew exactly what it was looking at and it knew Micah didn’t stand a chance. He pressed his back against the ambulance, taking one step towards the hospital. Then the wolf leapt. It was embarrassing, but as jaws snapped into his arm, Micah cried out, loudly.

| Who: Micah and Claire When: Early evening Where: The hospital As Claire stepped into the hospital, she did her best to ignore the nausea rising, not wanting to throw up all over the place when there was obviously so much going on. She had gotten the message from some woman who worked there to come by as soon as possible only twenty minutes before, and honestly, Claire couldn’t really remember putting her shoes on and getting out the door. Having not heard from Ren, Claire was worried her friend was hurt, given the pack of wolves that had torn through the dome the night before. She asked for Dr. Worthington, the contact name given to her when the woman called and then waited in the hall, tugging anxiously on her sleeve. She sort of wish she had called Gabe to meet her there, but there was a chance Ren wouldn’t want to see him just yet. If it was Ren. Claire didn’t know. She hadn’t gotten any details over the phone. Was that a bad sign? ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Finn and Eli Where: Near their house When: just after dark The quick errand to grab supplies for the house had taken longer than expected, because apparently everyone else had the same idea for the end of the day and by the time Finn and Eli had gotten through the small crowd, it was already dark. Finn wasn’t keen on walking home after dark, not with the warnings out about the wolves, but he wasn’t about to stay somewhere that wasn’t home. And he was armed, hatchet from work at his waist. So he kept one hand free as they walked, headed towards the house, trying not to make too much of the howls he heard or the fact that they seemed to get closer. It wasn’t until one came with an added growl that sounded just off to his left in the bushes that he really started to worry. “Eli...” he started, but the growling overpowered his soft tone. He could see the house, just up ahead, but running now wouldn’t help. He knew that much. Running would mean being chased and neither of them were that fast. ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Clementine and Zania Where: Their House When: Just before dawn Clementine had been really nervous ever since Zania’s text. She wanted to run out and see if she could find Zania, Lochlan, Skylar, Mannix or any number of other people, but she had been fairly warned and staying inside seemed logical even if she yearned to make sure others were safe too. She’d tried spinning yarn but she hadn’t been able to focus properly and gave up about as soon as she tried. Mostly she just sat on the couch, picking at a loose thread on one of her knitted wraps while she waited for Zania to get home. ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Darcy and Liam Where: The hospital When: early morning Darcy had been at the hospital all of twenty minutes. She’d seen both Patrick and Lochlan, relieved they weren’t dead, but then they’d talked to their sisters and she felt out of place. So she’d left, still dressed in one of Patrick’s sweaters she’d nicked out of his house that was too big and looked more like a dress. She wasn’t sure what she was looking for, maybe Liam, maybe food. She’d done some time in a hospital when one of her oldest sisters had gotten pregnant. They’d spent hours there on a summer night waiting on her nephew to be born, and she’d remembered the halls always having something around corners. Vending machine, coffee station. It wasn’t like that now. This hospital would have seemed barren if it weren’t for the fact that there were people scattered about, dealing with the same thing she was dealing with: family and friends almost dead.

| Who: Avery and Chiri When: mid day Where: The hospital With a nurse inside Lochlan’s room, Avery had wandered the hospital some, trying to figure out who else had ended up there over night, and if she knew any of them. Her brother had already told her Ms. Ryan was there. Despite going mostly unnoticed by the somber looking staff, Avery didn’t really find out any new information. People were busy and she wasn’t feeling nosy enough to start asking questions she probably wouldn’t get answers to. So Avery grabbed something to drink and headed back toward Lochlan’s room, wanting to see him one more time before she returned home for a shower and something to eat. She might have stayed the whole day, but she knew her brother would insist she go home, and Avery wasn’t feeling up to arguing with him. When she caught sight of the pink hair in the hall, Avery slowed her steps, remembering Lochlan mentioning having been with Chiri when the wolf attacked. “They’re checking his bandages,” Avery called out to her, since she assumed Chiri was there to visit. “They’ll be done soon, though. If you’re here for Lochlan, I mean.” ( teenagers ) | ||||||||

| Who: Justin and Micah Where: Hospital When: late afternoon Justin was more than ready to go home, and he was starting to get impatient and antsy. Not a good combination for him, or for those around him. He was snappier than he wanted to be with the staff, but he had a business to run and while his leg was sore, it was feeling better since being treated the night before. Of course, that could have been the pain medication doing it’s job. In any case, Justin was ready to be released, and he had spent most of the day arguing with whoever came in to change his bandages. He sat on the hospital bed now, trying to get a feel for the pain in his leg, debating whether or not he could walk home without doing more damage to the injury. With the power back on, Eatzy’s needed to open and he didn’t trust anyone else to get it done. ( Let the good doc deal with the jerk. ) | ||||||||

| Who: Audrey and Angelo Where: the pub When: afternoon It had been a long night. She’d been up for much of it, hearing howling outside and she was worried about Liam, even if he was safe at the hospital. It reminded her of all the bat attacks, only this seemed so much worse. But regardless of whether or not she was scared, it was a week day, and that meant school, then work. Feeling like she could use it, she headed for the brewery, not even quite sure what she was going to do there. Get a beer? Maybe. Did that make her a budding alcoholic, since she’d snuck a beer the other night too? Was she being paranoid? Walking inside, the bright afternoon sun left behind, she glanced around. Heading up to the bar, she smiled at the guy behind it. “Hi.” she greeted. ( zomg awesome! ) | ||||||||

| Who: Avery and Lochlan When: Morning Where: The hospital After getting to the hospital, Avery had to wait for Lochlan to wake up before she could visit. So she had paced for a while, then attempted to eat breakfast although she had ended up throwing most of the food away. Finally she was told she could see her brother, and Avery made a beeline for his room. Knocking softly on the hospital door, Avery opened it slowly and peeked her head in, not wanting to wake him up if he was sleeping. Okay, so maybe she wanted to wake him up, but only to make sure he was okay. Lochlan was bored out of his skull. The only times he found remotely interesting were when family visited or when one of the attractive nurses came in. He was busy imagining he was playing XBox in his mind, trying to keep from going stir crazy and trying to leave again for which he had been sorely reprimanded the last time he'd attempted it. When he heard the knock on the door his eyes opened and a grin spread across his face. Automatically he called out, "Oh Rosalita, is it time for my sponge bath?" He asked her that every single time she came in to check his vitals. Not once did she crack a smile but he was determined. He stopped before going on though because somehow he sensed or maybe he smelled her? He knew Avery was there even before he saw the familiar blonde face peeping in. "Hey, Aves. Come to spring me?"

| Who: Eily and Lochlan Where: the hospital When: late morning/early afternoon Lochlan awakened slowly. It was sort of like gradually becoming aware that things were happening around him that were real and not dreams. He’d had lucid dreams. Some of them so real that he struggled not to believe as reality split from dream and his mind surfaced. The first thing he felt was pain. Not intense but there were the faint achings of things that he had never awakened to before. He didn’t immediately remember the wolf attack though the imagery of teeth and claws raced across the surface of his thoughts along with the rest of his senses. Everything mixed together. Sound, smell, sensation. He heard the clattering of metal and clicking of heels on linoleum. He smelled the salty scent of tears and the sweet waft of cherries... and maybe cherry blossoms. A face flitted across his mind’s eye too quickly for him to catch as pain bloomed more intensely than before. He groaned and was propelled further into awakening. ( because i say so ) | ||||||||

| Who: Avery, Darcy, Eily Where: walking to the hospital When: Just after dawn Eily had done her running with Nic, saved a handful of people, run over one wolf, and done her level best to keep her shit together. Then, when it was starting to get light out, she called it, exhausted, even if she was heading to get the girls. She had Nic drop her off at her house, so she could grab Darcy then they could walk, collect Avery, and go to the hospital together. When she walked in the door of the other O'Reilly house, she called for Darcy. "We're heading to the hospital! Let's get going!" ( Read more... ) | ||||||||

| Who: Micah and Nic Where: Nic's House When: just after dawn By the time Micah had finished up his last patient that he knew he could handle the power flickered back on. There was a collective sigh of relief throughout the hospital, not needing another struggle with no power and more patients that they’d had since opening. Micah’s night was weighing on him, heavily. He’d managed to get out of dirty scrubs and replace them with clean ones, just throwing out his stained clothes and grabbing his bag. No one stopped him on his way out. Dawn was peeking over the horizon. Someone else was coming in to take his place and it was time for Micah to get away from all the death. And there had been so much death. He’d seen tragedy on a massive scale. A multi car pile up that had flooded the ER during one of his rotations. That had been awful. Tonight had been worse. People ripped to shreds. So many were dead on arrival or dying once they’d been pulled into triage rooms. It was like a war zone. Even those who’d survived, would be scarred and damaged. ( and someone to lean on ) | ||||||||
