Room 323 [Tuesday, Evening]

[pastmewrong]

Effy's head was still full of the fogged up confusion as she ran back to the dorms, and her mind was barely starting to wrangle the stray thoughts and overriding fear into something manageable by the time she reached her room.

There was trippy and there was wrong, and that had been all wrong. Under her hands had been a person, and in her head

After what happened today with Rose, Alex was headed to his room to just sleep it off before deciding he'd go up one floor just to...pass by. It wasn't checking but he could make an excuse that he was on the roof or some shit.

Whatever, he was there, his nose looked fine and he'd just knock and see. She'd come to his room, he could still go to hers. He knocked a few times, quietly and waited to see if she was in.

[I knoooooow this is late and you are in bed (hopefully) but yes, hard to pass up a post with that icon on it omg awww. Feel free to ignore him, send him away, whatever, though! He'd just want to stop by]

Noises, even those as innocuous as a knock on the door, were going to throw Effy off at the moment, and she twitched at the sudden intrusion on her thoughts that had been a long way from the present.

Eventually she pulled out an uncertain, "Yes?"

Well, that sounded a little off. He'd heard different emotions from her before but this one was somewhat unfamiliar. "Yeah, it's just Alex," he said after a moment's silence. "I was just...passing by, thought I'd knock. You all right?"

Was she? Didn't even know for sure. Probably not, when reality was getting warped like it was today.

But this, it sounded like Alex, and she hadn't lied, there was some trust there. Even so, there was incentive to pull herself together a little before she crawled out into the room to flip the door lock. Falling apart was one thing, letting anyone see to what extent was another.

"It's open." But she took a step or two back from the door without opening it, just in case.
