WHO: Lillian and Rolf
WHERE: Room 402
WHEN: 7/14/2012, between midnight and 1am (immediately following Persona get thread)
WHY: Lillian wants to make sure Rolf didn't get eaten by pretas or mailbox ghosts during the night.
By the time Lillian returned to her dorm room after getting her wound seen to, she was dragging her feet with exhaustion. The cuts didn't hurt anymore; whether because Lillian was still in some kind of shock or just too tired to pay it much attention, she wasn't sure. But they weren't bothering her nearly as much now and that's all that mattered. She shut the door behind her, turning the lock and wondering briefly if the dormitory had any policies against installing deadbolts or putting bars up over the windows. Lillian walked over to the window and shut it. She didn't care if the room started heating up uncomfortably, there was no way she was sleeping alone in this room with it wide open like that after the night she'd had. Even if her roommate hadn't gone home for the summer, it would've have mattered. Terri was pretty useless when it came to practical, serious matters anyway.
Still there was one more thing Lillian had to do before she went to bed - if she'd even be able to unwind enough to sleep. She would've contacted Rolf earlier hadn't her own safety and that of those with her taken such strong precedence. Lillian still didn't know what was going on but they seemed to have reached a momentary peace. It was safe enough to send Rolf a message now. The power still hadn't come back on yet. Both the display screen and keypad buttons on her cellphone glowed comfortingly in the darkness. Lillian's fingers trembled slightly as she maneuvered the cursor down to the phone book icon, scrolled down to number three on her contact list, and selected Rolf's name and then the text option.
msters. b careful. - lil, she sent quickly and flipped it closed. Hopefully, Rolf would get back to her soon. In the meantime, she'd start getting ready for bed again.
Oh, please be all right!
