[ For those of you who don't know her, this...somewhat disheveled-looking young woman is Justine, and she's up for a nice hour of glaring at her phone. Some people might recognize bits of Harry's bedroom around her and...yeah those would be Harry's blankets she's tangled in, but the wizard doesn't seem to be present at the moment. Probably for

Lyra made me do it.

[doomedtheworld]

[Wait, what? Who is this person... and what's she doing there?

What did Thomas do now?!]

What are you doing there?

sjfhbdvhf LMAO

[thefeelingsburn]

[ If Justine is surprised by the question it doesn't show. She just raises her eyebrows and continues her glaring. ]

Being locked in the wizard's den, if it wasn't obvious.

[ read: no help ]

[doomedtheworld]

[It's only a little obvious. Was Harry supposed to know there was a naked girl "locked" in his room.]

Why?

[thefeelingsburn]

Safety.

[ Air quotes and all. ]

[doomedtheworld]

[Now she's frowning. Locking somebody in a room doesn't seem like a very good option for keeping someone safe... especially when the whole hotel was protected.]

Safety from what?

[thefeelingsburn]

[ She looks troubled for a moment, as if she isn't sure whether or not she really wants to answer that. Then again, she's not even completely sure of the reason. ]

Them. Him.

[doomedtheworld]

[Them? Him? Was it really necessary to make it this hard to get a simple answer from somebody?]

Who? Harry? Thomas? Somebody else?

[thefeelingsburn]

[ She's got so many different things going on in her head, so many feelings shifting around, that it really is hard to sort them all out into one thing. ]

Thomas is...

Everything.

[ Whether that last bit is a continuation of 'Thomas is' or an answer to Vin's last question, Justine doesn't even know. ]

[doomedtheworld]

....

[Apparently it really is that necessary.]

So you're there to keep you safe from Thomas? Or everything?

[thefeelingsburn]

Both. He thinks I can't tell.

[doomedtheworld]

Both?

[Safety from Thomas and everything? Vin frowns, thinking that over. It doesn't take long for things to click into place and she blinks at Justine.]

Oh....

You mean, you and Thomas are...?

[thefeelingsburn]

[ Vin seems to get it, so Justine just kind of nods reaaal slowly. ]

He stops it. [ It's a decent system, she thinks. He quiets her head and makes her feel better--beyond better--and she feeds him. ]

[doomedtheworld]

[Just fantastic. She doesn't like the idea of Thomas feeding on anybody but sticking the poor girl in a room can't be helpful.

Besides, it was Harry's room and what would Karrin say about that.]

I'll talk to them.

....

I'm Vin.

[thefeelingsburn]

[ Totally not helping. Sure, it's keeping Thomas back from that whole unnecessarily feeding on her thing, but who really likes to be locked up in a room? ]

Tell them to talk to me.

...Justine.

[doomedtheworld]

I'll do that.

And tell them you let you out.

[thefeelingsburn]

[ She can get out without a problem, she knows, but she doesn't feel it's necessary to say. If she does walk out they won't be very happy with her at all.

...then again, maybe she should leave just for that reason. ]

They won't like it.
