"Hi hi. You still have my pocketknife! Thought I'd come grab it, that's all. Don't really mind wanting a night alone." Easy to get the feeling Libby may have been upstairs looking for it, somehow.

A few seconds later Libby materializes in front of Cynthia. Dia. Libby raises her arm, releasing the lovely healing sparkles onto Thea.

"Heal," whispers Brad.

Thea looks at him, a bit confused, then turns back to Cynthia and says, "Thanks!" That pain was getting annoying.

She rummages in her bag and comes out with the knife. "Yeah, here you are," she says, then walks over to Cynthia and holds it out.

Cynthia throws the plastic sword into the air, takes the knife and pockets it, then catches the sword by it's blade.

"Don't suppose you want this thing? Well, whatever." Back to aimlessly spinning it, juggling it, so forth.

"Either way, also forgot to give you this. A little jot book of some simple stuff. My own notes don't make any sense without knowing the system we set up and all of the words, so I put some of it in here." Cynthia holds the notebook out to Thea.

"Oh, cool, thanks," she says, taking the notebook and putting it in her bag.

She yawns. Then stands there, blinking tiredly.

Yes, yes she does. Well done, Thea. Really, well done. Brad is totally not judging you for your stupid behaviour tonight. Nope, no judging whatsoever over here.

"Alright... That's all I got? You can head in." Cynthia opens the front door for her.

Takes Cynthia a moment to realize what she just did, showing that she unlocked the door earlier, but keeps a decent poker face. She doesn't see it as that bad of a thing to do anyways.

Thea blinks a few times at that, then walks inside. "Goodnight," she says.

Brad follows her in, looking at Cynthia a bit suspiciously.

"Goodnight." Shrugs.

And in a lower voice to Brad, "She might've been sleeping and Libby is quiet. Need my knife for tonight."

He shrugs and waves, then shuts the door behind them.

And Thea goes upstairs to get ready for bed.

... She might forget about Brad.

Brad would just disappear when she either falls asleep or the Midnight Hour ends, if Thea doesn't pull him back. If he 'times out' due to the Midnight Hour ending, it usually means a headache until the next night.

Cynthia outside starts off walking and humming, twirling the sword and adding in her pocket knife. Well atleast she doesn't hate me. Went better than I thought. Alright, let's go Lib... Rent's due soon, and I don't feel much like waking up tomorrow.

The two run off into the night, smiles on both of their faces...

Thea gets into bed and tries to get to sleep. It probably won't take her long.

Brad hops onto the couch in her room and lies down, seemingly content to do nothing.

And eventually, Thea will fall asleep.

Zzz.

After a few minutes of this, Brad starts to glow, then fades away.

Time passes as usual, sleeping or awake. Monday arrives as it should.

Hey, atleast Cynthia manages to arrive to school! It turned into her falling asleep in the cafeteria in the morning, but she's there! If that matters.

Thea is also at school! A little bit tired, but not to the point of falling asleep. Brad is, hardly surprisingly, not there.

She probably won't speak to Cynthia at lunch unless Cynthia approaches her.

Cynthia has around zero intentions of doing anything during the school day. Thea would get a wave at the end of the day, but no real attempt to interact.

Thea will wave back and then disappear home-wards.

If she doesn't get a text from Cynthia in the hours before midnight, she'll be outside her house with Brad and will wait about 5 minutes to see if Cynthia shows up.

Cynthia is hanging out in the alley at 11:50. Thea said to meet up tonight on Saturday after all. When the hour starts Cynthia would knock on Thea's door.

Oh. Right. Good point.

She opens the door and says, "Hi! I was just about to come out and wait for you."

(Brad's not yet in evidence.)

"Hi, no worries." (Neither is Libby for that matter)

"Feeling like anything specific?"

She thinks a bit, then decides, "Not really? I'll probably just summon Brad and then we can go knife some more blobs. Oh, did I tell you? We saw a Blob mark-two last night. It threw a fireball at me."
