[OOM: Coreen has an encounter while doing some late night drawing by an open window.  Warnings for nommage.]

A very woozy and hungry Coreen wakes up next to an open window, in a quiet hallway.  She has her charcoal and pad with her, and yet, no memory of how she got there, or why there's no sketch.

She sits there for a few minutes, trying her

Squirrel is near the bottom of the stairs, on his way back up. He had woken up on the couch and not found her in their room; leaving Ev under the care of Lilith and Lucy (and Stanley), he had gone downstairs, but she hadn't been there either.

He looks worried.

[coreenfennel]

Nah, she's nearly back to their room, going to take a peek in, before getting some food. She looks up, catching sight of his tail.

"Hey Joe," she calls after him. "I'm hungry. Want to get some...uh, it's morning right? Breakfast?"

[theflyingsquirl]

"Bit early for breakfast," he says with a shrug, "but pancakes don't watch the clock. Everything okay? You were gone when I woke up."

[coreenfennel]

She takes his hand when she reaches him, slightly cold to the touch. He may notice the slight smell of blood.

"I think so. I think I couldn't sleep. I woke up on a window seat, with the window open. I don't remember getting there. I'm so hungry..."

And a Connor almost bumps onto her, while going up. "Oops, sorry."

[coreenfennel]

She scrubs at her face slightly.

"No, it's my fault. Sorry," she says, leaning against the railing. "I should be more careful."

[leadinghome]

He tilts head, watching he woman. "Everything okay?" This is the second confused, drained-looking woman he meets here, so...

Connor is worrying.

[coreenfennel]

"Yeah, just...I feel a little strange," she says. "I probably just need to eat a little."

And get into her warm bed, where she belongs.

She tugs at the bathrobe around her, drawing it closer. It's chilly.

Enzo doesn't notice her enter right away; he's reading a book (of genuine paper and cardboard) with an intent expression, and taking notes in one of his usual file windows.

There is also-good heavens-another book next to him, with a bookmark. Neither book is very long, but still.

[coreenfennel]

She slumps on a near-by couch, and orders breakfast from a passing waitrat, draping her hands over her eyes, and using the throw blanket to get warmer.

[a1enzo]

Enzo looks up at her voice.

"Hey, Coreen!" he says when she's done ordering. "You don't look so good. You don't have the flu, do you?"

[coreenfennel]

She looks over at him, "No, not the flu. I just feel bad. I woke up on a window seat and don't remember how I got there."

[val_von_doom]

And here's Val shaking snow out of her hair on her way back to her room. Ain't time in Milliways fun?

"Coreen, are you okay?" she asks although she's already decided something is amiss.

[coreenfennel]

She shakes her head a little, "I don't really know. I woke up in a place not my bed, and I don't remember how I got there."

[val_von_doom]

Val hears Tepesh's words in her mind, "Oh but there are monsters here, have you not heard? Someone is feasting upon the blood of innocents."

"Maybe you should sit down and we can figure this out together. Were you with Evan or Joe when last you remember?" Val's voice is very business like and protective to hide the edge of worry. Is Coreen looking paler than usual?

[coreenfennel]

"Ev's hibernating already...and Joe, he's...asleep. I...couldn't sleep."

She is starting to look pale. Her neck has wounds...
