2nd Floor Common Room, Wednesday Morning

[chirpchirpchirp]

Vette was... not looking so great. Wasn't feeling so great, either, but her response to the throbbing headache and the grey skin and the claws, beyond a frustrated screech, was mostly to decide that she needed to rend something with her... increasingly sharp teeth. Really, with the way her head was changing shape and the somewhat unexpected new dental situation, she was starting to look more like a Twi'lek male when she looked in the mirror, if not for the horror eyes situation, and the fact that her ear cones were remaining cones, hooray.

Anyway, the solution to today's frustration (it was even frustrating that she only felt frustrated, that she couldn't find it in her to panic about this, but at least she was able to think, wasn't necessarily having a repeat of the vampire situation and that hadn't been permanent) was clearly to go rummaging through the fridge, head-tails twitching angrily behind her, looking for the biggest, most raw-looking slab of meat she could find.

... An entire package of bologna would do. Nobody mind the snarling grey Twi'lek furiously gnawing her way through that while trying to find something she actually wanted to watch on the television this morning. Really.

[OOC: Open! I had to infect Vette, the game gives me a (nightmarish) companion customization that is perfect for today, how could I not?]

"Oh, good, so that'd be a bunch of students," Sabine frowned. "And it'd mean this happened in two days. I take back what I said about one problem at a time."

[thishouseishaunted]

"That's what I was saying!" Mae was inches from starting to flail. "My nightmares started then, too. Well, Monday morning, I guess."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"What are the nightmares like?" Sabine wondered.

[thishouseishaunted]

"Well, I'm running around in town, which isn't new or anything, but everything is all either dark or glowing and the buildings are all sticking out at weird angles. And there are floating glowy ghosts all over, and giant bus-size fish, and then this really, really giant squid thing attacks and I wake up feeling like I ran a marathon."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"And you think that's connected to this?" She kind of got lost as 'bus-sized fish.'

[thishouseishaunted]

"I don't know!" Mae was getting a little riled up. "I just know they're not normal dreams. And what's happening to Vette and Wayne is also super not normal! So . . . maybe? Is anyone else dreaming about giant fish monsters?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Not that I've heard of, but I've been kind of own my own the last couple days." Which seems to have worked out for her!

[thishouseishaunted]

"With no fish monsters," Mae said. Just to check. "Ugh. I never thought this place would actually make me miss Possum Springs so much."

Possum Springs had its issues (including, oddly enough, toxic springs!), but fish monsters had yet to be one of them.

"It's a tough summer," Sabine confirmed. "I keep reminding myself it's not always like this."

[thishouseishaunted]

"It was totally normal all spring!"

Well. Mostly.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Normal enough," Sabine agreed. "I guess we're paying for it now."

Which, jeez, at least space out the crazy, island.

[thishouseishaunted]

"I don't wanna pay for it!!!"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"There's an end to it, though. There always is," Sabine assured her.

[thishouseishaunted]

"That's true," Mae said. "Eventually we will all die."

For some people, that was a horrifying concept. Mae was of the cohort who found it vaguely comforting.
