Fourth Floor Hallway, Tuesday night [3/11]

Hoshi couldn't sleep, and Porthos wasn't tired enough yet since Hoshi cut short their evening walk. Those statues that started appearing just creeped her out too much.

So Hoshi was playing ball in the hallway with the puppy until he got bored, or until someone complained about the noise. The latter would probably happen first.

There wasn't any complaints, really, just a head poking out of the door of room 402 and looking around a bit until it spotted Hoshi, the puppy, and the ball.

"Okay, good," A.J. said. "I knew I probably wasn't going completely crazy in there and hearing things."

"Hi A.J. Nope, nothing weird going on in here," said Hoshi. "Just weird stuff going on outside. I couldn't sleep and Porthos was going stir crazy."

"Weird stuff?" A.J. asked, but then, almost as soon as he asked it, he looked very much like he'd rather he hadn't. He hadn't, in truth, been out much, and he was thinking that the last thing he wanted to deal with was weird things any more than he had to.

So he changed the subject. "So, uh, Porthos, huh? When'd you get him? Or have you had him a while and I just suck at paying attention?"

Hoshi didn't want to dwell on any weird stuff either. "I just got Porthos over spring break," she explained. "He belongs to someone back home who couldn't take a dog with him when he shipped out."

Porthos, meanwhile, was ignoring his ball and running over to check out A.J.
