I also apologise for how I acted last week. I hope they're both happier

...Huh. Perhaps I simply nee

...I'm sorry for what happened between us. I feel substantially better now. You were still the best friend I had here and I simply wish to go back to what we had before, if...that is possible in any way.

The room of requirement has turned into quite an impressively large bedroom, if anybody would like to join me. Clothes are optional.

i keep forgetting how to breathe

Wha- was that- was that real?

...I appear to be lost in the palace and there are some very unhappy guards saying I am Loki.

Does the Room of Requirement create alcohol, and if so, does somebody want to get blind drunk with me? I hate this plac

I'm starving. That was...awful, but I suppose not as bad as we've had before.

Everybody is alright, yes?

[Maria & Priestly]
Are you both here? I missed you both tremendously. We were...trapped in a basement for the past week.

Is it me, or is everyone rather more tense than usual?

Is everyone alright?

Guys, I'm using this pass thing. I'm calling home. Just...you know, throwin' that out there, in case you wanted to meet my friends and shit.

Guarantee Jen has webcam on this thing by now.

[ringing]

I...that was peculiar.

...Wait, have the others returned? How long was I gone?

[Later, filtered to Priestly]
...Are you here?

[Maria]
I apologise for what I put you through in that...place.

[Steve's post is also audible in the background]

I- we're stuc- Steve! [Laboured breathing, sick sound of slicing and a muffled scream as he covers the device] for lack of a better term, we're screwed [Small, choked laugh] you've rubbed off on me, Priestly. I'm so sorry-- I failed you.

I'm frightened of how attached I am, to the point where I'd choose...the people I met here over my own home and family.

I love it when people run their hands through my hair. It's one of the reasons I keep it as long as it is.

ETA: When I was younger, I always wanted to be normal and grow up to have a wife and children like everybody else. I still wish I could be.

New lesson learned: Fire powers do not operate when wet.

If anybody is without warmth or shelter, there is a fire pit in the 'Room of Requirement', the large wooden door on the fifth floor. Anybody is welcome and the room is rather large, it seems to have provided seating arrangements for the majority of the house.

[Priestly]
You're welcome, of course. I suppose having fiery powers came in handy. How y Are you okay?

Is anybody warm enough to assist me with gathering firewood outside? I have a feeling it can only get colder from here.
