1st Floor Rec Room - Wednesday Night

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

Kyle didn't like the fog. He didn't like not being able to see what was going on around him. The result of that had been Kyle spending the week not straying from the dorms. The dorms were defensible, had clean enough air and supplies. Not that he was too worried yet, since it was just fog and the occasional weird story, but he always sized up where he was staying in terms of defensibility and supplies.

The TV was on in the background, just white noise at this stage, but Kyle wasn't paying attention to that. He was sitting and looking out the window, watching the dark. Anything could be out there in this visibility and that bothered him.

[OOC: Open all night, rather like Denny's, only without the grease and vague smell of pot.]

"See anythin'?" George asked, finding his way into the Rec Room and seeing Kyle there. He'd spent a lot of time wondering what had happened with Beka, and he was getting more than a little antsy at this trapped feeling.

Kyle glanced over his shoulder, then back at the window. "Nothing. I hope it stays that way. What're you doing down here?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He shrugged as he made his way over to to the window too. "Jus' wanderin'. Feel like we should be doin' somethin', y'know?"

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Kyle nodded. "I know what you mean. I don't like being in the one place so much, but I'm not going out in that."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Don'," he agreed. "I did earlier an' somethin' happened wit' Beka. She was thinkin' I was a nasty cove and tryin' t'kill her."

"Why would she think that?" Kyle asked with a confused frown.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Don' have a clue," George said, looking as confused. He sat down next to Kyle. "Somethin' - I don' think it's magic, but tisn't right either."

"So something is going on out there," Kyle realized. He looked deep in thought. "Should probably go and find more food before it gets worse." Things always got worse.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"We'd have plenty o' food fer a good bit did they realise twasn't all meant t'be eaten at once," George said, a slight undercurrent in that comment. "We'd have t'go an' figure out some way not t'be affected. No point in walkin' into a mess."

He knew George was right and he was getting ahead of himself. Maybe once the fog cleared they could figure out what was causing people to see things. For now, they had to stay put. "And we can't figure out how not to be affected because we don't know what's doing it. I've seen people go in and out of here all day and they seemed okay, so there's no telling what's happening. I don't know what we're supposed to do."

"Maybe it does depend on how long yer in it fer," George thought out loud. "Cause I was jus' headin' out while Beka had gone fer a run, and it didn' seem t'be affectin' me much. I can be lookin' up in th' library tomorrow an' see if I can find anythin'."

He shrugged. "They probably already have been if others've been runnin' into it."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"So we wait," Kyle guessed. "And watch and hope for the best?" He didn't seem too happy with the idea.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He looked up at Kyle, obviously thinking hard as he weighed the ideas in his head. "Twenty-four hours," he said finally. "Tisn't much good jus' waitin' beyond that. See what they've been findin', talk t'th' mages an' th' like, make a plan from there."

He was silent for a moment, deciding how to reply. A nod came shortly after. "Can't do anything tonight," he conceded. "You're opening the library tomorrow right?"
