Quiet before the storm.
The day was warm, overcast and rather humid, but Clarice was glad enough to be out in it. There were only so many days that she could go cloistered inside the Compound, and now that she'd moved into the Council office, she was no longer afforded the quiet seclusion of the basement.
Hair smoothed back into an increasingly long ponytail, she ran from the Compound down to the Serenity and back, pausing once by the small waterfall to splash some cool water over her face and neck. The atmosphere of the island was calm but tense, as if they were all perched upon some invisible precipice. By then, nearly everyone had to have heard about the previous year's Valentine's Day debacle, and they all seemed to be waiting for chaos to ensue with the next dawn. For her part, Clarice was firmly decided that should things seem remotely sketchy, she would lock herself into her old office for the duration of the day.
[OOC: Open to anyone; Please feel free to catch her anywhere between the Compound and Serenity!]
