Better Left Forgotten

Noctis grinned, expecting to be taken as more silly than anything else, "You're just too cute, Astarte." She then pointed towards the guest bedroom, "I'm going to go and make sure Aroma, and Sab are awake."

With that, she knocks on their door.

<Sure.>
===
*Cameron nods*

<Could I, um, Make a call?>

<I don't see why not. There's a payphone right outside.>
=========================
<And now for the jazz hour.>
=========================
How did you get there so fast?
=========================
*Aroma breaks away from Sab.*

"Uh, yeah, what is it?!"
=========================
*Grimm is eventually brought to the cabin. The monster opens the door, tosses him in, & closes it. Of course, it's pitch black.*
=========================
"Okay!"

*And so Euryale takes Taiyo to the washroom.*

<Thanks.>

*Cameron stumbles over to it, then dials Astarte's cellphone number*
===
*And so Eve waits*

Sab reacts similarly, but calms slightly when it is only Noctis speaking on the other side of the door, "Just seeing if you two were awake, I'm going to be out in the living room."

Taiyo follows.

Taiyo: "Umm...I don't have any other clothes."

===================================

Azuma texts back saying they not only left their dorm right off the bat, but the library isn't that far away.

"What? I guess you'll have to borrow some of mine, I don't see any other way."
==============================
Did you really head straight for the library, through the trees?
==============================
"Uh, okay! Hm...I guess we should go out there, huh?"

Taiyo: "That works."

And so when in the bathroom, Taiyo undresses.

===================================

He says yes. Saw a squirrel eating another squirrel and that's it.

"Astarte," Hector caught her attention as she passed through towards the kitchen. "Thiera wants us to meet her at the library about recent events. Sooner rather than later. I think Noctis and the others should come."
"Oh, okay... I'll go ask them about it," Astarte turned to head back up the hallway to Noctis. "Noct, there's going to be a meeting about the creatures and stuff at the library. We should head over there."

Grimm took out his pistol and found a wall, then started following it and looking for a light switch.

*Cameron bites his lip as he waits for Astarte to pick up*
===
<Taiyo can borrow some of my clothes. They might fit her better.>

*He finds it, but flicking it does nothing.*
========================
*Euryale starts the water & then promptly removes her shirt.*

"Either way is fine with me!"
========================
*The jazz hour plays in the background.*
========================
Why would you do that? It's dangerous.

Taiyo bites her lip.

Taiyo: "Thank you!"

She then hops in the shower to hide her full body blush.

===================================

He responds saying it was convenient and no creepy crawlies have been present during daylight as far as he knows.

"We probably should," Sab said, sliding off of her side of the bed, and standing up.

--

Noct looked at Astarte, then nodded, "Sure. What time?" As she asked she took a few steps out of the hall and towards Astarte.

"As soon as we're ready, I guess," Astarte said. She looked in the direction of her room as she heard the ring tone. "I better go get that."
She entered her room and quickly found her phone, answering it, "Hello?"

Grimm continued around the room, taking note of where each door, window and piece of furniture was as he made contact/saw them.

OOC: The link to the jazz hour has been fixed, if that concerns anyone.

"Even if that IS true, we know that we're regularly followed."

*Thiera has just entered the library, looking shocked & disappointed. Lilith enters behind her, sighing & rolling her eyes.*
=============================
*And so Sabroma emerges in all of their glory.*

"As soon as we're ready for what?"
=============================
*Euryale hops in after her, closing the curtain & starting the shower proper.*
=============================
*He eventually passes over the window, seeing the beast's large red eyes peering through the glass.*

<What were you expecting, free cable & room service? It's a forgotten cabin in the woods.>

*The voice is unmistakably that of the homeless man that Grim killed, once again clear & menacing, coming from somewhere in the room.*

And Taiyo's full body blush presumably was not as concealed as she had hoped.

===================================

Azuma: "Well, some of us are here."

{Astarte, it's Cameron. I'm in the hospital. I think the shadow got Monu...}

"Oh, oh damn... how, when did this happen? Are you alright?"

Grimm raised his pistol and aimed in the direction he guessed the voice had come from, "This witchcraft... What is your goal, demon?"

Noct nodded, and headed out into the living room, as she said she would, but was stopped by Aroma's question, "There is a meeting at the library. Since we now are in the loop with this whole monster stuff, they want us to tag along. I think it'd be a good way to get some more information."

"Oh, who is going to be there?" Sab asked.

Noct shrugged.

<Demon? Where'd you get--oh. Hah hah. I was just screwing around with that stuff about Satan. He's a little guy.>
============================
A"I guess that makes sense...."
============================
T"I figured it would take a while for everyone to get here."
============================
*And so Euryale puts some shampoo in her hair & passes the bottle to Taiyo.*

{Yesterday after Hector and Eduj left for home. I'm not that badly hurt.}

"This is awful, poor Monu," Astarte said, running a hand through her hair and sighing. "Well, there is going to be a meeting about all of this pretty soon at the library with Thiera. Will you be staying in the hospital for much longer?"

"The people from the trip," Hector looked over his shoulder at them from the couch. "The ones who are still left, anyway. Some of us are missing, and someone has turned up dead on campus. They aren't releasing a name. As scary as this is, it's important that you are kept in the loop now that you're involved."

Taiyo does the same and put the shampoo bottle on the nearest shelf-like unit.

===================================

Azuma: "Who'd you text? Everybody?"

"Yeah, I suppose so," Noctis said, taking a seat in the living room.

"At least I think I know most of them... at least in passing," Sab said, "It would be really weird to just be introduced to a bunch of people by saying 'Hi, we've seen monsters too'."

*Aroma nods.*
====================
T"Everyone on my contact list."
====================
*Since I have to keep killing time for Nocstarte's group, Euryale bumps in to Taiyo while continuing to wash.*

"Whoops, sorry."
