Uh huh. I'm staying in my room.

Wybie

[tehoniongirl]

Good. I'm sure this isn't anything to worry about, but let me know if you see anything or anyone weird? I'll feel better...

[and she's totally going to stop by his room later, juuuust to make sure]

Jilly

[why_born]

I will, I promise. And hey, if you see a talking black cat around, looks kinda rough around the edges, he's from my world.

I doubt anyone's taking cats but he went exploring and I don't want him to get hurt.

Wybie

[tehoniongirl]

[that gets a smile] I certainly will. And I can check with the animal shelter to let Sakaki know to keep an eye out, too.

Speaking of which... how are your swamp ferrets?

[evilhandissue]

[look who happens to be exploring, and finds Jilly about an hour before the place is due to close]

Well look what I found.

[tehoniongirl]

[that voice gets a bright smile as she turns around from cleaning one of the machines] I didn't realize I was lost.

[drying her hands on a towel, she'll come back to the register] feeling thirsty?

[evilhandissue]

Well, I haven't heard your voice over the journal in the last few days, and I've been meaning to find you.

[takes a seat] Sure. Something with caramel in it, if you please. [bright grin]

[tehoniongirl]

[a laugh] I was working on a project and I guess I just lost track of time. I actually didn't mean to turn into a hermit.

[starting to make a drink for him, she'll give him a smile that's maybe a little troubled] I'm glad to see you, actually. With people already missing... it's nice to know others are alright.

[herwaltz]

[Hey, Jilly, what's up? Have a Moonbay idly meandering into the joint, looking around.]

Nice digs.

[tehoniongirl]

[Oh hai there! Have a bright smile, Moonbay] Barney would probably be very proud to hear that. Though I think he'd prefer "awesome."

Can I get you a drink?

[herwaltz]

Well, he'll have to work a little harder to get that sort of praise right off the bat. [She grins as she makes her way to the counter.]

Coffee, milk and sugar.

[tehoniongirl]

[laughs] Don't let him hear that.

...or, maybe do. It might not hurt to have his ego deflated a little bit every now and then.

Good timing. I just finished brewing a fresh pot.

Jilly

[cartrauma]

A-ah... Yes.... [IS AFRAID THOUGH]

Chiyo

[tehoniongirl]

[awww... Chiyo] I'm glad... but are you alone, right now?

Jilly

[cartrauma]

Yes... I wish Mr.Tadakichi was here.

Chiyo

[tehoniongirl]

...I'm working right now, or I'd come over, but...

[remembering what Oliver had told her] Some friends of mine are in the ballroom.

They're staying there to help organize the people going out and searching the town. They could probably use company and someone to help keep track of who's going where. If you were interested.

[and then she could make sure the girl wasn't alone, once she got back from town herself]

[doyuulikeme]

A school?

[tehoniongirl]

Yep! Right now, we don't have one. But it'd be a chance for the kids to be together and there are a lot of people here who could teach some pretty interesting things.

[a smile] Can I ask who this is?

[doyuulikeme]

But what is that? School, I mean.

Oh! My name is Alma.

[tehoniongirl]

A school is a place where kids go to learn about different subjects from teachers. Back in my world, kids have to go. It's required. But here we don't have anything like that and some of the others miss it.

[while some of them would fight tooth and nail if anyone tried to make them go, but she doesn't mention that]

Nice to meet you, Alma. I'm Jilly.
