History of Poisons, Thursday Per 2

Mar 19, 2015 14:13

To say that Karla was distracted today would be an understatement. She'd already been overtired when she got to Fandom. Add that to feeling whatever was wrong with the island and discovering that Kayla could feel it, too, would be enough to shatter even the steadiest of nerves ( Read more... )

Listen to the Lecture glacial_queen March 19 2015, 18:15:37 UTC

...If we're actually going to call it that.

Alternately, try to explain to Karla what's been going on with nature on the island and/or get up and leave.

Cassandra was up as soon as she was done speaking.

Which was a good thing. If she was seething at Anders any more, she might explode.

Anders was grateful not to have a proper class today. He almost hadn't come at all -- Cassandra would be there, and he wouldn't put it past her to snatch his phylactery from its current place beneath his shirt. And that wouldn't do, not after he did so much to keep her from getting it in the first place.

Normally, he would have wanted to talk to the professor more about whatever had her so riled. But today he was finding it hard to think about anything besides the new treasure bouncing warmly against his skin.

He rushed away as soon as he could. Not having class gave him more time to go back to his room and consider all the marvelous things he'd do and places he'd go now that he had the phylactery. That seemed far more important than the island's health.

A scenic trip, complete with dead foliage and rabid teal deer.

THIS WILL BE FUN, SURE.

Karla put her hand on the trunk of a tree, feeling it dying by inches beneath her palm. "I don't understand," she whispered, looking around. "How did so much happen so quickly?"

The earth felt lifeless beneath her feet, the brown grass crumbling where she stepped. Even now, with the island caught in the last dregs of winter, there should still be signs of life here. New growth on the trees. Early spring crocuses and daffodils poking up tender shoots. Animals puttering about in the underbrush.

Instead, everything felt eerily silent and still, like someone had sucked all the potential out of the preserve with a straw.

"Okay, so have there been any reports of rocks falling from the sky? I'm asking for reasons."

Re: Explore the Preserve notamascot March 20 2015, 01:08:09 UTC

Kaylin shook her head. "Not that I've heard of."

Re: Explore the Preserve glacial_queen March 20 2015, 01:19:54 UTC

"Well...fuck," Karla said, flinging a branch into the dying underbrush. "Sorry. That's not particularly responsible of me to say. But I suppose that at least we won't have to be fighting off our friends who've turned into alien monsters. That's a good thing, at least."

If she decides to accompany them!

Kaylin was here and even more concerned about Karla than she'd been about the land.

If you'd like to see a frantic Queen fret over the dying land.
