Sing them a riddle, something in minor and smooth
WHO: Alex Reagan and Simon Reese [Closed.]
WHAT: Talking about what happened with the shadows and the demons.
WHERE: Simon's cabin on the fourth floor.
WHEN: Backdated to two days after the last event happened.
WARNINGS: Possible discussion of demons, the end of the world, sacred geometry, etc.
It takes Alex two days to work up the courage to head to Simon's floor to find him. What had happened, the nightmare that she'd been in has taken this long to be able to shake off to the level of actually going to physically face it again. She's been skipping meals in favor of stuff from the garden in order to avoid the fourth floor, and of course Alex hasn't slept a wink. Every time she tries to sleep, the old racing of her thoughts has been augmented by the new things that the nightmare had let her see, and the old thoughts were hard enough to deal with even without this new and fresh terror.
There is a reason that Alex hasn't slept in two years back home, and it sounds like she's still not sleeping in the future which is totally something to look forward to then! She's sure it will be fine just like now.
Simon being Simon, Alex knows that he's not going to talk to her. At the best of times, it can be hard to wring answers from him, and this is hardly the best of times. While she wishes that he'd come and find her rather than her going to go find him, she knows he's not going to do it. Still, it takes her two tries before she can even screw up the courage to take the step off the open door of the lift. Without meaning to, Alex closes her eyes and uses squared breathing in an effort to calm her racing heartbeat, but then she choses to keep them closed until she gets mostly down the hallway and through the crucible of shadows and fear to Simon's door. Knocking on it without preamble, Alex just adds quickly: "Simon, open up. We need to talk about what happened."
