EVENT THREAD: Wondering

May 18, 2008 00:42

*There is a point in the middle of the night where the weight of worry and insomnia seems to shift from dwelling on how long you have been lying awake since bedtime toward how little time it's going to be until you're doomed to survive another day. Johan figures that the shift begins somewhere between three and three-thirty in the morning. He actually felt it, too; a weight sliding across his mind with a dull metal deadbolt clink.

By four, he's given up any pretense of sleep, and instead decides to get out of bed and creep outside as silently as possible. Finding a place by the cliffs, he starts staring at the distant ocean, drenched in shades of dark blue and searing white by the starlight that illuminates it ever so slightly, soon to brighten and regain its true color as morning seeps into the sky. The light from the surface of the water reflects off his eyes and plays there, making him look more awake than he actually feels.

Your character may have heard Johan get up and tread lightly outside, or they may just have had the same idea as him, unable to sleep for whatever reason. Either way, this event takes place outside just before morning on Sunday if your character follows him to the side of the cliff. He looks thoughtful, but not depressingly so; it's a more lighthearted sort of thoughtful, though not outright happy either. (I don't have a good icon for it, so sue me.)

Bother now, especially if you're Juudai... or Ayumi.*
