[ This past month has been a trying one all the way around, culminating in her fighting with a werewolf shortly after hearing someone else she was attached to had left. Now, another had followed them. And Arya, she's still trying to wrap her mind around the change in her. The one she loved and trusted more than anyone here, and she couldn't do anything to help.

It's been a few days, but she's finally found her way back to the castle. She's fallen into old habits; in that it looks like she hasn't showered since she left the castle last and her clothing is caked with dirt and claw marks in the chest of her sweater. So, where does a lonely vampire kid go to gather her thoughts? Why, the roof, of course! Rather than dictate, she pens in a few filters. ]

[ If she's talked to you more than once, you're a friend. ]

Be careful in the woods.

[ Allen ]

How is your trip going?

[ Team Vampires ]
[ Oh, this is all kinds of awkward for her. It's taken her months to decided that this might be a good idea. Even then, it's only a might. ]

If any of you are willing..

[ The journal picks up a sigh, then she sets the pen aside to dictate instead. If she wanted to meet any of them, she had to speak up and stop being so distrusting. ]

If any of you are willing, I'd.. like to meet you. I won't take a lot of your time, but I do have a few questions.

[ Lana | Action ]
[ After mulling over various things for a good hour and a half, she begins a trek to her final destination before sunrise; Lana's place. Truth be told, she's not even sure why she decided on Lana but some of it probably has to do with wanting to continue giving Arya her space.

After two false starts, she eventually knocks on her door. ]

[ooc Over the journal, or action if any night owls are out and about.]

That makes sense.

[ Oh, look, back to that quiet thing. Maybe not now, but she might ask him more about the armor at a later time because it is kind of cool looking. ]

[originalcopy]

[He just stands there, perfectly still and quiet. Thinking about his answer to her question, it was perfectly reasonable and she accepted it. But it wasn't totally honest. He can't really "feel" the cold, he's aware of it... he knows the exact temperature and wind speed. He'd hated the cold when he was alive, it just made sense to keep hating it now. Old habits and all that.]

[ It's a good five minutes or so, long enough for her to match every side of the Rubik's Cube, before she finds her voice again. Even then, her statement is a brief one as she offers the cube to him once she's mixed it up again. ]

Want to try?

[originalcopy]

Huh?

Thanks, but I'll pass. I'm not really a puzzle game kind of guy.

[ugh, a thousand years of nothing but Garry's stupid knock-knock jokes, riddles and assorted other bullshit... he'd be perfectly happy to avoid anything puzzle related for the rest of his life. Or existence or whatever you wanted to call it.]

I never could solve those things anyway.

[savors]

What do you like to do here? In general, or for fun.

[ It's all good, different strokes. She pockets the puzzle in favor of chatting -- at least for a little while. If nothing else, maybe she would learn something about him or his world. That was always fun. However, in an effort to reassure him, she directs a knowing sort of smile his way. By now, she's gathered that he enjoys silence as much as she does. ]

This won't be a game of twenty questions.

[originalcopy]

Here?

I guess I'm still figuring that out.

[He shrugs]

There are a couple of people I don't mind talking to once in a while.

And I come up here... but that's more of an old habit than anything.

[savors]

You're new?

I come up here to think, also out of habit. For having a lot of things here, it's easy to get bored.

[originalcopy]

Four months... long enough to have the gist of the place, but it all still feels pretty new.

I'm kind of ok with bored. Usually, if things aren't boring then something is going wrong.

[savors]

I think I'd be worried if you had seen everything.

A lot of people say that.

[originalcopy]

How long have you been stuck here?

[savors]

Since the end of November, so not long.

[originalcopy]

About the same as me then.

I arrived just as that virus thing hit.

[savors]

At least we didn't have to worry about catching it.

[originalcopy]

Uh yeah...

[He looks away for a moment]

I did catch it. I should have been immune but... magic virus.

[He shrugs. At least he hadn't actually been able to follow through on the viruses impulses. Not that he hadn't tried.]

Fuckin' bullshit really.

[savors]

[ Ouch. Open mouth, insert foot. She looks apologetic. ]

.. Sorry. You're okay now?

[originalcopy]

Meh, it happened, it's over.

... I'm fine.
