Not at all late, really, Vala went into work, inspecting to see if there had been any damage from the hurricane, and sticking her nose into the fridge to see if any food had spoiled or if they'd lost power ( Read more... )

This was the first chance that Mohinder had had to wander the new spaces that the island had grown, sprouted or otherwise increased in size. The muddle of mostly silent streets had given way to a stretch of coast - lighthouse vsible in the distance - he followed in lieu of any more urgent choices ( Read more... )

If Mohinder didn't catch sight of his reflection he could, by now, go several minutes without consciously thinking the body he was currently inhabiting wasn't technically his own. Possession and nine-tenths of the law non-withstanding ( Read more... )

Vala wasn't expecting much business, being as how all the new students and teachers were still in the getting-to-know-you phase of the proceedings, but that didn't stop her from taking extra time to set out flowers and make sure that everything was extra clean, in case anyone decided to stop in ( Read more... )

After making a quick call, Juli simply had to go out to the roof and breathe in the chillier air. She’d have to see about going over to the mainland sometime this week, after picking up supplies.
