[August 3 stars off. . . weird.]

[The morning bell chimes at 6 a.m., as it usually does! But there appears to be a very thin layer of fog settled against the ground outside. Some of it seeps into the school's hallways, before dissipating in a few wisps of haze. Weird??]

[As the day goes on, you feel like you can hear strange whispers echoing in the air-- a voice, hissing the word miiiiiiiine over and over again. Also weird!]

[And by the time the afternoon hits, you may find yourself running into some very unwanted guests. You've been here two weeks, and this is the first time you're seeing these guys?? Where have they been??]

[By the way, the nurse's office is unlocked!]

Others have explored the grounds around this place. If there is a physical location and not just a spiritual landmark, then it would be known by someone by now.

But I have no issue with needing to make the attempt myself.

[tailsofwoe]

If you do, I wouldn't mind accompanying you as a source of firsthand information. Though I am not much of a fighter, so you might want someone else as an escort.

[presgarddihellis]

I'll need to take stock of things, first.

Though I also don't think your group would appreciate me putting you at risk once more.

[ Honest confusion flits across her face, like of all objections, that wasn't the one she was expecting. ]

... I wasn't even hurt... I don't think they'd have reason to be that concerned about it.

[... looks over to Puck who is a softie who already clearly cares about his team and feels bad about being unconscious while people were hurt.

looks to Styx who clearly also cares about this team and was grossly injured in the line of duty.

looks back to her.]

Don't they?

[tailsofwoe]

[ ... haaaah... ]

... More than they would be for anyone else.

They're good people.

[presgarddihellis]

They are. Which is why I'm hesitant to be the one to make things worse for them, even incidentally.

[tailsofwoe]

... Fine. I retract my offer.

[ read: she'll find a Plan B. ]

[presgarddihellis]

Don't retract it. At the very least, it's on pause until a combatant is found.

You'll be drawing a lot of attention, so that's a necessity.

[tailsofwoe]

I know—I wouldn't go without one. Despite how it may seem, I value my life rather dearly.

[presgarddihellis]

That is good.

I've never really understood people who don't hesitate to some degree.

[tailsofwoe]

[ ... A slightly amused quirk of her brow. ]

That feels like a slightly ironic statement in light of your life choices.

[presgarddihellis]

I do have an unfortunate tendency in courting death...

But that doesn't mean I'm without hesitation.

[tailsofwoe]

[ ... A soft "heh." ]

I imagine that's a painful combination of traits to live with.

[presgarddihellis]

It has its struggles.
