[Behold Tiffany: sitting at the foot of the steps in the Broken Stair room, a drunk and passed-out Mason slumped next to her with his head pillowed on her shoulder. Fortunately, she looks sober herself, albeit tired and stressed. She has her arms around him and is lightly stroking his hair, more for her own comfort than for his at this point.]

We're looking to hear from some people. Merlin and Gwen, 'cause they're our wardens, but also Iris, Dillon, and Simon. I wanna know if they're okay. And Mason wants to know about Tig and, uh-- Elena? Elana? I think it was Elena. And also--

[Here she makes a face.]

Facilier. Fucking asshole.

I was also wondering if-- I mean, we don't have magic powers or nothing, and this whole place is... really, really fucked up. We came in here because it's quiet, but the stairs don't ever end, and I think there must be a better way.

So we need help. I don't know exactly where we are, but I can say it's near the bedrooms with the dead bodies, 'cause that's where I pulled him from. A lot of the stuff here seems strange and magical, so I was thinking, maybe we could just sit here until someone who--

[Suddenly one of the beams creaks extra loudly, and a spooky, etherial chattering can be heard echoing around the darkened room. Tiffany curls her fingers into the sleeve of Mason's shirt, eyeing the ceiling warily.]

... I would appreciate someone coming real soon, I think.

[They'll be camped out there for a bit, so characters going up or down might pass them by. Feel free to stop and chat! Or glare. Or gloat.]

[OOC: Mason gets blanket rights to wake up and threadjack anywhere if Allison so chooses! This also means he could potentially hear Tiffany's side of audio/video conversations, even locked ones, so keep that in mind if you want your character to say something he shouldn't overhear.]

[That's something, she supposes. Hopefully it's not just a physical attraction with Mason or else that's kinda crummy and definitely not fair to Tiffany. But Mason doesn't seem like the type who'd do something like that, so Elena just hopes her instincts are right.]

You guys ever do date nights?

Nah, we ain't dating. We're... well, I don't know. Friends with benefits, maybe.

Oh.

[And then a second oh goes off in her head as she realizes that may have sounded a little judgmental. She's not. They're both adults after all, but.]

And you're both okay with that?

Yup. Why wouldn't we be?

[That seems like a question that shouldn't need much explanation, if Elena's totally honest. But maybe Tiffany isn't that self-aware.]

You just hear that sometimes one person wants more after a while is all, [she says with a small shake of her head, trying to minimize it.]

... Yeah, I know. And I ain't gonna lie, I'd do more.

But this is good, too.

Just be careful, okay? It's hard to just be friends sometimes.

What about friends who make out sometimes?

[That was... kind of a joke.]

But, uh, seriously-- yeah, I know. I know. But I like him as a friend, too.

Well, I'd hope so. Or else the whole friends who make out sometimes thing got way more complicated than I'm prepared to try and think through.

[She chuckles, looking down.]

Yeah.

But it don't have to be complicated. I mean... maybe it is a little, right now, 'cause I've kinda got feelings for him. But if I need to I can try to move on.

Well, if you ever need somebody to talk to about it and you feel comfortable, just let me know.

[They don't obviously know each other all that well, but sometimes that can help. Elena can offer a fresh and more objective perspective.]

... Yeah? You mean that?

Maybe I'll take you up on that sometime, 'cause I don't got a lot of girl friends here.

Absolutely. Whatever you need to talk about, I've always got an ear available for listening.

Thanks.
