Who: Billy and Thia
Where: Osbourne Residence
When: mid morning

It was clear by mid-morning that the shadows were gone, which really - Billy couldn't be happier about. He was packed within minutes - though, seriously, they didn't have much to 'pack', they'd got down here in such a hurry. Mostly, they'd just been borrowing clothes. But, Maddie and Billy were all ready to get out of here, the dreamwalker just had one thing to do first.

He found Thia in her room, cleaning up as best she could and Billy stepped across the threshold, pushing the ruined door a little more open and running a finger round inside the hole by the door, whistling. "Really did a number on this place, didn't he," he commented, loud enough for Thia to hear him.

The whistle got her attention, and she looked round, smiling a bit. "Yeah. But that one might've been my fault, I kinda sorta pulled him back because there was one coming up behind him and he had to do this action-movie thing where he shot when he was falling back and while really neat, it did in fact, mess up the door." she explained. "But he possibly could have avoided the door had I done something sensible like say 'hey, Dean, there's a shadow behind you'." she finished, dropping another bit of glass into the paper bag she was filling. "You guys taking off?" she asked.

Points of View

bw lying thinking

Who: Billy and Lullaby
Where: In dreams
When: Overnight

The hallway looked a lot like school. Corridors where the light came in from double doors on either end, but the lights were off. The glare off of the polished floor wasn't enough to light her way properly. It was silent, sound missing from the scene entirely. Even when she moved to doors--doors that looked like the ones in Sophie and Oz's house, instead of proper school doors--the sound never made it. As she walked past trophy display cases, she looked inside them, the lights flickering. There were no trophys. There were a lot of seemingly random odds and ends, a necklace standing out in one of the cases, a silver pentacle with amethyst set into it.

An Honest Opinion

rain showing back scar

Who: Dean and Thia, then Billy and Thia
Where: Dean's house
When: Midafternoon

Dean was actually sleeping, trying to get some in before it got dark again. He hadn't thought he'd be able to, but he'd promised he'd try, climbing into bed after lunch and stretching out under the blankets, one hand hooked underneath his pillow as he lay half on his side, half on his front, facing away from the bedroom door, which was ajar, breathing gently.

Lullaby had a bit of a issue to discuss with the sleeping boy, so when she walked into his room, she was less worried about his being asleep. And later--she might actually feel bad about it, but at current, she wasn't thinking about that and instead she marched up to the side of his bed and grabbed his shoulder, shaking him. "Hey!" she said, to try to get his attention better.
