Third Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

Dawn was wearing the same jeans and sweater she'd been wearing yesterday, not wanting to head back to her room and too tall to borrow Molly's. She was also freezing, which had led to her mixing up a very large pot of oatmeal. The fixings were in the cupboard if anyone wanted them, but she wasn't setting them out.

Instead, she was sitting with her bowl of healthy goodness (once you ignored the raisins and brown sugar she'd added to her own) and a very, very large mug of hot cocoa with mini marshmallows. She read through a large pile of books and scrolls she'd brought with her and that Giles had sent since May (not all of which were in English), trying to find anything that explained what was going on.

She made occasional notes on a pad as she worked.

"I can't just sit here and not try. It's getting to me." Tori admitted.

"So did I. He just appeared, it was kind of weird."

"I was thinking everyone was drugged and that maybe it just affected others worse. But," She shrugged. "I just don't know. I can't explain it."

She laughed. It wasn't really funny. All these strange people. But Annette couldn't help it.

"I know it. He did this dive roll thing in front of me and...yeah, it was just weird."

"You know? I wouldn't have been surprised." Tori admitted. "I actually wished it was the case."

She shook her head. "I just don't get it." She chuckled. "He did? Oh wow. He asked if I was in distress."

"I just wish it would end. What the heck is school going to be like tomorrow? I can't imagine."

Annette giggled. "He said he was a hero. I told him I wanted his clothes."

"Me too. I don't want to think about how classes will turn out if this continues." Tori shuddered slightly.

She laughed. "You did? Oh wow, good for you."

Annette shuddered too. Chaos. That is what would happen.

But there was chaos now. Ugh.

"I couldn't help myself." She grinned. "I don't think he knew what to make of me after that. Kind of stuttered. What hero stutters?" She laughed.

Tori really hoped that this would all end by tomorrow. Somehow everything would go back to normal, as normal as it could get around here.

She smirked. "I honestly don't know, but it must have been pretty funny."

"He had a great body though, eh?" Annette teased. Hey, you had to laugh over some of this stuff.

"And his mask was pretty cool." She added.

"What did you do yesterday?"

Tori grinned and giggled. "He did." She had to admit Annette was right about that. "Yeah."

She sighed. "Well, I kind of just wandered around campus and town, trying to make sense of what's going on, after I found out my roommate was someone other than herself. You?"

"Ohh, I hate that for you, Tori. The whole my roommate but not. Cally is still staying with Mac so I am alone in my room." She said with a wry twist of her lips.

"I roamed about yesterday too. In town; Luke's Diner, the park, Caritas...Ii should be drop dead tired today."

"Thanks." She smiled, grateful. "How is Cally?" Tori was curious, she hoped she was recovering well.

"Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night. Everything that I had seen keeps running through my head, I'm trying to make sense of it all. Conner thinks it might be due to the effects of a meteor rock, so I'm going to help him search in a little." At least, it was something.

"Cally is doing really good, thanks Tori. She's getting around really well."

She raised her brows. "A meteor rock? Now there is an explanation. Let me know how that search goes."

"I'm glad to hear that." Tori smiled sincerely.

"Yeah, he's had experience with it before, so it's a plausible explanation. I'll definitely let you know if we find anything."
