"And that risks three pairs of eyes getting murdered violently." She added.

"As much as I'd like to kill them now, if we go in without a plan, they /will/ kill the human. No doubt."

"Exactly, which is why we have to figure out where they are and what we can do about it first. Terezi, did they say how long you had?"

2015-09-27 09:59:04

●

"Two nights." Terezi answered. "In two nights I'm supposed to be in Time Square."

"Longer than I'll need to find them." Nick responded.

"So it should be alright. But just in case, shouldn't we have a backup plan for if it ends up going longer?"

2015-09-27 10:03:04

●

"Yes, we'll throw you in for asking too many questions."

"Nick, don't tease him like that."

"Fuck you Ivory, I'll do what I want."

"Nick, don't tease them like that or I'll wreck your motorcycle with my car." Lance chimed in.

"Not my baby!"

I frowned. "Good questions outrank easy answers. If we didn't answer these it could get us killed. Throw me in if you want, I'll just direct them towards you."

2015-09-27 10:10:30

●

"Please do."

"Please /don't/" Ivory responded. "I'd rather not Seculus be hurt."

"Because you like him~"

"Sure."

2015-09-27 10:12:43

🌀

"Yes, because we're friends, I don't want her hurt either, which is why I'm asking things." At least, I think we are?

2015-09-27 10:16:20

●

"Sure. 'Friends'. Real close I bet."

"Nick?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up."

2015-09-27 10:18:56

Was I being too presumptuous? Either way, he had already hopped the fence to my bad side and was slowly tiptoeing further along it. "So are we doing anything tonight, or /not/?"

2015-09-27 10:21:22

●

"For now? No. But we're all staying here tonight. I'm not changing my mind on that." Nick answered. "Besides, it'll be dawn soon. They won't do shit during the day."

2015-09-27 10:23:54

I sighed. I couldn't argue with that. "...fine. Terezi? Are you alright with that?" I looked over at her. She'd been fairly quiet throughout all of this.

2015-09-27 10:26:09

●

Terezi paused, then let out a sigh. "Fine. Whatever, just let me tell Anndrea what's going on when she gets off work. She won't like this though."

"Your angel? Ivory mentioned her."

"Yes. Her. Did she mention Anndrea doesn't like her too much?"

"If I'm a problem then I'll stay out of her way until we figured something out." Ivory spoke.

2015-09-27 10:28:25

🌀

"...that would probably be best. I hope they don't do anything drastic tonight."

2015-09-27 10:32:28

●

A short talk later, and Terezi convinced Anndrea to stay. Once sleeping time came around, Ivory offered Anndrea and Seculus her room to sleep in. Mostly because it had the bigger bed. She gathered one of her large blanket, her laptop and charger, and a pair of headphones before heading downstairs. Once there, she kept herself held up in the backroom, browsing the internet on the cold ground, wrapped in the blanket tightly.

🌀

Anndrea fell asleep fairly quickly. As for me, I tried my hardest not to toss and turn and wake her up. I couldn't sleep, not even a little. Maybe it was because I'd slept so much earlier, maybe because I was so nervous, maybe because I was a little giddy from sleeping in the same bed as Anndrea again, well, "sleeping". In any case, I couldn't stand the thought of lying awake all night, left alone with my own thoughts. Especially as I was. But waking up Anndrea wouldn't be very nice either. Carefully, I got out of bed, not bothering with my sweater, and tiptoed down the stairs past Clarenz's and Kinsley's bedrooms. And Lance's, too, I assumed. If he even needed one. I saw a dim glow coming from the back room and softly stepped towards it. My wings were away for now; I needed the practice and hadn't wanted to bother Anndrea with them in bed by accident. It made me feel more vulnerable, though. To solve this problem, I'd momentarily considered bringing the bat with me, but decided against it. It was unnecessary. I pushed the door open. There she was, on her computer. She had headphones on. She couldn't hear me. I sat down, bare feet given pins and needles from the chilled ground, and rested my back against hers.

2015-09-27 10:46:26

She felt something be pressed against her. Ivory looked over, and noticed Seculus was sitting there. Slowly, she pulled out one earbud. What was he doing here? He should of been with Anndrea. "Hey." She quietly greeted.

2015-09-27 10:50:42

🌀

I...should have. But I didn't want to bother her. She needed rest. "....hello. Sorry, I...couldn't sleep."

2015-09-27 10:52:29

●

"Hmm." She hummed. Slowly, she removed her headphones completely, pushed her laptop to the side, and wrapped the blanket around the two of them. Even she could admit it was a bit cold in here.

2015-09-27 10:54:57

🌀

Oh. I turned a bit so my back wasn't against her, making the blanket easier to manage. "...thank you. Sorry, did I interrupt you?"

2015-09-27 10:56:21

●

"No. I was't doing anything important anyway." Of course, she wasn't. Just listening to music. "Just a bit curious as to why you're not with your girlfriend right now, since you don't get to spend much time with her."

2015-09-27 10:58:08

🌀

"As much as I'd love to talk to her, I didn't want to wake her up. And I wasn't sure if cuddling her would wake her up too, since she's gotten used to sleeping by herself."

2015-09-27 10:59:37

●

"I see." She answered. "I'm sorry about that, then."

2015-09-27 11:01:03

🌀

"No, it's fine, I'll just...wait until tomorrow."

2015-09-27 11:02:01

"Well, you know I'll be up all night...day....whatever."
