one hundred and seventy-seven:

[ooc: also backdated to this morning]

[Ever been woken up by the distinct impression that something is looking at you? Lucy just was. The only problem is, she's alone in her room. Both cats and the Arcanine are asleep in their own beds, so it's not them, either. It makes her uneasy enough to stay away and turn on a lamp before reaching for her journal and a pen]

Something's staring at me. But it's only me in here.

[Are people going as nuts as the castle now?]

You're either alone or you're not - which is it?

[to be fair, that ship sort of sailed off with her a while back]

I'm alone. But something is watching me. I can feel it.

So, it's started to affect the residents... not surprising.

Why not go somewhere?

I've only just woken up.

[...Could this presence be what he thinks it is?]

Would you say that whatever is watching is malevolent? Maybe unknowable?

[she thinks about that for a moment before replying]

Not malevolent. It's just [pause] there.

No other way to describe it?

[again, there's a pause before her answer comes]

No.

So you've noticed it too.

[Huh. Dairine thought only wizards would be able to sense it. So much for that theory.]

[maybe it's because she's been at the castle for a long time? Who knows]

I don't think I'm glad that it's not just me.

Hoped it was just your imagination?

It could mean the castle's about to change.

It could. Or it might just be a temporary effect from the castle’s meltdown.
