WHAT ¿
WHERE ¿
WHEN day (¿) 39
(optional) NOTES

[The sun doesn't so much as rise as flick on with the sudden, glaring brightness of noon. Whatever time keeping device you have on you says its about 8:14am when this happens.

The power's back, but the time on your timekeeping device never really make sense with the position of the sun as it moves across the sky.]

[ stands, with some confusion ]

[going to try to take him to the apartments. to gale's place, not his own]

Maybe you should sleep a little longer.

[ following him. ah.

he must sound delusional. ]

... I suppose I should.

[can he just try to put gale to bed like a 5 year old. will that work]

[ I MEAN. YEAH. he'll let that happen. he looks kind of distressed about this whole situation and kind of just wondering if vincent wants to get rid of him because he's babbling like a loony

curls up in a ball at the edge of the bed as is his usual. of course. ]

[heads to switch to his own apartment to get a book and then... back... to hang out in the living room

he definitely feels kind of creepy about it but also genuinely not sure if gale is okay or not, so]

[ he spends the first hour awake with anxiety, just. confused. why is the sun like this what happened to my morning what is going on ????

anyway he does eventually doze a bit. not much, but it's... something... after a while he gets out of the bed and goes to step out of the room--

and freezes seeing vincent there, entirely baffled ]

[already halfway to the door in 0.05 seconds, looking guilty]

—I'm sorry.

[ ??????

taking in the room after a moment, then, with confusion; ]

I-- is this your room...?

[ gale has no personal belongings. he wouldn't know, frankly. ]

[KINDA STRESSED SOMEHOW] No, I brought you to yours. I don't mean to intrude. I just wanted to make sure you were all right.

[ OH

... oh. wait. okay, this makes sense. ]

I... oh. No, I, um. I don't mind, I simply... would not have expected you to wish to stay. I really am fine...

[ducks his head 8|;; boy this is awkward]

I was worried.

[ quiet, for a moment. ]

...

Thank you.

[disproportionately pleased by that?!]

You're— quite welcome. I wasn't sure if I should get you something to eat?

No -- no, please, I've already inconvenienced you so much just today...

[pls. mildly distressed]

Gale—

[ stops. quiet for a long moment, thoughtful, and just seems... embarrassed.

and a bit timid: ]

... yes?

[...turns it into a neutral smile]

If you'd rather spend the time another way, if you only say so, I couldn't possibly hold it against you. But if you really just don't want to impose, I promise you aren't.

[ doesn't respond for a long moment, clearly awkward about it and unsure what to say but, after a bit ]

I... it isn't that, I truly didn't wish to impose, since I just-- I felt... because of earlier, I thought I may have caused you, um, some distress? If I was acting strangely? I was only, only confused, and a little tired, and not, er. Used to the sun jumping around, or-- or not... matching the time properly...

I'm sorry.

You didn't cause me any distress.

[ CLEARLY DOUBTFUL ]

... alright.

[uhh genuinely at a loss]

Is there any way to convince you of anything?

[ struggles for a moment ]

If I can't... believe the things I see with my own eyes, it's hard to believe much else.

[...nods]

I understand. Well— again, please forgive my incursion.

No-- what? It isn't anything like that.
