[Game 21] That Night

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

His eyes (warm and brown) light up with interest and he winks back.

How's it going?

He slides the headphones off. "Not too badly! And you?" He grins at her.

I've had kind of a weird afternoon, but nothing too bad.

"Oh?" He makes room for her to sit next to him. There's a sort of tense energy about him, but he's all eyes for her right now. "What's up, sweetheart?"

[lmao

going over to sit next to him with no hesitation, perfectly relaxed]

It's pretty embarrassing, actually. Are you a judgmental kinda guy?

"Me? Never." He leaves his arm around the back of the seat.

[bites the inside of her cheek, still clearly consider it for a moment, before she speaks again.]

Soooo I kind of woke up in a stranger's apartment today? Which isn't too strange for me, honestly, except that there was nobody home, except for their dog, who was like. Dying. About to die. In the process of dying.
