[This morning, with things only getting more and more out of control, Nephry decided it was past time she looked in on a few people.

And by a few, we mean just about anyone she knows well enough to care about. Even if she had just talked to them the day before. Her own experience of the experiment and holiday seemed restricted to a few sinister shadows and some creaks in the night; she might as well put her relative calm to good use somewhere.

So today, for most of the day (until late afternoon), she's headed around the village doing just that.]

[[ooc: So  essentially if a character has enough CR with Nephry that she knows his or her name, she is looking to check up on them. That definitely includes not just new Luceti friends but housemates and castmates, too. This was so supposed to be this morning and I fail.]]

[He blinks and yawns once before noticing Nephry. Costumes and hallucinations aside, he manages a small smile.] Ah, Nephry... good morning.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Oh! [his sudden noise actually startled her, and she half-turns] Good morning, Fo- Ion.

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Aw, she caught herself~ He stretches and then shivers (having nearly forgotten that his costume wasn't the warmest there was) before wrapping himself back in his blanket.] ...looks like the experiment still isn't over, is it.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

It doesn't seem to be. ...Are you cold? I thought I raised the heat yesterday.

[Action]

[distressedude]

[He shakes his head.] Just a little, but I'll be fine after I'm up for a bit. It'd be easier if this costume covered more, though...

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

A lot of things could have made this week easier.

[For a moment he may get to see just how tired she is. But it's a fleeting moment. She knows when not to stretch herself too far.]

[Action]

[distressedude]

That's true... [It may be fleeting, but Ion still notices it. Has she been seeing those hallucinations as well...?] Are you doing all right this morning, Nephry?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

For the most part, yes. I'm a bit tired.

[Action]

[distressedude]

Did you not sleep very well last night?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I think this week has just been wearing on me. I'm all right.

[Action]

[distressedude]

If you're sure... although I'm sure this week's been wearing on every- [There's a pause. He can see, in the corner of his eye, something moving where something shouldn't be. Trying to ignore it for now.] ...one.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I'm sure. It's nothing that breakfast and daylight won't fix.

[Action]

[distressedude]

Breakfast sounds like a good idea right about n-

[He glances towards the kitchen and once more, pauses. A certain Maestro was sitting at the table drinking a cup of tea. After a second, he's gone. Clearly the Malnosso are just trolling him. Ion shakes his head and mumbles a small apology.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[Nephry takes these hallucinations seriously.]

What is it?

[Action]

[distressedude]

It's... nothing. I just saw something odd in the kitchen, is all. [He looks more confused than upset or frightened.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Something odd?

[Action]

[distressedude]

...Maestro Mohs sitting at the table. [A sigh, and he shakes his head.] At least he wasn't covered in blood this time... though that doesn't make it any less strange.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Covered in... [She's starting to understand why you worry Anise so much.]

Perhaps we shouldn't have breakfast in the kitchen, then.

[Action]

[distressedude]

[And judging by the expression change on her face, perhaps he shouldn't have mentioned it.]

That... would be preferable, yes. I'd rather not wind up losing my appetite halfway through a meal. [It was hard to enjoy breakfast with a bloody evil guy sitting next to you, obviously.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[Mohs is most likely someone she knows in name only, so the inherent fear isn't there for her at all.]

I'll bring it out here, then.

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Nephry you are a lucky human being.]

Thank you, Nephry.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[to the kitchen to make the breakfast, then.]

[Action]

[distressedude]

[In the meantime, Ion will just stay cuddled up in that blanket while keeping his eyes shut, hoping to prevent anymore hallucinations for the time being. He's still sitting up though, so hopefully he won't fall back asleep.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[soon enough she comes back out with a plate of breakfast for him. Eggs and toast and such.]

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Ion smells the breakfast before she's even in the room. He opens his eyes and looks over at her.] That smells great Neph-

[Suddenly! Mohs is standing there holding a tray of food. Don't mind the sudden stare, Nephry. He blinks a few times and looks down, shaking his head once before looking back up... and Nephry is standing there instead.]

...s-sorry.
