3rd Floor Common Room - Friday after classes - 7/30

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir was baking.

More than that, he was baking out of necessity, the cloying chocolate hazelnut scent the only thing that seemed to be able to keep the memories of last night away. Lulu, Miss Lulu... while on the surface, he knew, the actions he'd taken had seemed kind, even gentlemanly, he had been inside that mind, he had seen why that creature was doing what it was doing.

He'd been sick in the bathroom when he woke up this morning.

And now the cookies, her cookies, the first sweet treats he'd learned to make with her. The scent practically summoned her presence into the room, kept away the nightmare, reminded him that she was well and whole and real and fine and that he had done no such thing to her. Tray upon tray upon tray of hazelnut chocolate cookies; Makejoy sat, as always, just outside the kitchen watching, but it was obvious the dog was concerned. And she was right to be.

"Not waking up?" Yeah, that was still news to Kate. She allowed herself a moment to look really shocked. Then she shook her head.

"Okay, so we really need to get him to Town Hall." She turned to Raven. "And you've been having nightmares too?"

[trigons_child]

"Yes," Raven said, nodding. "They are getting worse with time. Liir and I shared a dream as well. Neither of were quite ourselves...."

Makejoy was frantically licking Liir's face in an attempt to wake her master.

"Makejoy, stop," Joan said, pushing the dog out of the way. "Do you think we can carry him?"

[vanillajello]

"I didn't see others around. I think we'll have to." She looked at him, trying to figure out which would be the best way.

If it hadn't been such a serious moment she might have muttered something about why couldn't he have fallen asleep around some big strong boys instead. But now that thought didn't even cross her mind.

"There is an easier way," Raven said. She held her arms out to her sides and willed her Soul-Self to emerge. The shadow-raven form grew rapidly, enveloping herself and Joan and Liir and Kate in blackness, then transported them all to the street outside Town Hall.

Raven withdrew her Soul-Self back into herself. Then, perhaps because she had exerted herself, or just because of coincidence, she collapsed to the ground, unconscious, her mind traveling elsewhere.

"Shit," Joan swore.

"Well, let's get them inside (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/4218356.html?thread=174050548#t174050548)."
