Who: Chase and Kiley When: Morning Where: Chase's Room
Chase was actually starting to enjoy the fact that Zenith's weather was getting cooler. There was a happy medium he found between leaving one of the windows slightly open to allow air in, and snuggling in against Kiley. He'd gone out to his secret stash in the cemetery for a few hours every day since they'd gotten back, stocking up with more food, clothing and supplies, leaving a nestegg of new traps he'd made with soldering gun he'd taken from the craft room. He'd even taken a few more cushions from the library, but now the stone casket was nearly full. Every time he'd returned pleasantly chilled, achy and tired, and practically dove into a hot shower to thaw. He loved that sensation, though it was notably better with two.
Waking up alone sort of sucked, though. He was getting used to it, even though he was still only somewhat used to sleeping with another person to begin with. He yawned as he trudged down the stairs toward the lower level of his room after pulling on a pair of underwear, offering a tired smile to Kiley on her window perch as he headed for the bathroom. He paused when he saw the light blinking on his computer, frowning at it, and for a second he tried to decide which he wanted to do first. That decision took all of a split second before he detoured to use the facilities, then returned a few minutes later. He grunted as he settled himself into the desk chair, wiggling the mouse to get the screen to wake up.
"Got a message," he called, though it turned into a yawn midway through, his eyes closing against the strain of his face as the screen loaded. He figured it was probably the list of who was getting rewarded and who was getting punished, or maybe something about whatever the hell had been going on with Marco and Pam the day before. Probably the former. He'd voted for Kiley for a reward, as he almost always did, and he hadn't put anyone down for a punishment. The yawn was followed by his attempt to read the first few words in the message, then sleepily rubbing at his eyes to clear them. "....feels so early...did you sleep okay?"
