So it turns out that going into town was kind of a bad idea. It was really cool and plenty beautiful, nothing like the boring reality that Seattle offered. But the more time she spent out there, the more she started to feel kind of tired and sick. She would have tried to shake it off if it wasn't for the headache several hours in and the feeling that something was horribly wrong.

It's actually the prior that got her to finally turn around, but the latter helped.

She she's been lazing around the tower ever since then, waiting for the feeling to go away. It's gotten better, but she still feels kind of drained and hurt. It reminds her of that banality stuff that Alysia would talk about. She doesn't have much experience with it, but she's starting to think that maybe the city will be an infrequent destination for her.

And then she starts thinking over all the places in the tower she could go (since she isn't about to sleep, it's only 2am) and comes to the conclusion that the only place she hasn't visited are those baths that Tabby talked about. Wary as she is, they can't be weirder than the girls' shower room at the dorms, right?

...and who would be there at 2am, anyway?

Which is exactly how she ends up there, hanging out by the edge of the baths with her clothes nearby (because high school pranks and teasing have made her paranoid about that kind of thing). She'll go back and forth, switching every couple of minutes between zoning out and resting or half-swimming aimlessly around her little radius of self-claimed space.

Not that there's anyone else here to invade that space. Of course.

Yeah, the only things that are awake now are monsters, really. And one of them stirs and opens their eyes when ripples come teasing through the water.

She hasn't been sleeping of course, but she has been soaking for a while... and that's just damn relaxing, no matter who you are. Living or dead, there's really nothing quite like spending a couple hours in a nice warm bath. Sure, she's been spending those hours lying at the bottom of the bath with most of her clothes on--how else is she going to get really clean?--but the effect is pretty much the same.

And hey, from what she can see, her new friend looks small and human. That's a big plus. So, she lurks in place for a while, waiting for them to relax and settle down a little, before she finally pushes off and quietly gliiiiides along the bottom...
