Summary: Eyes appear all around, static and paranoia return, friends arrive with fire, hopefully no one is getting attacked. Later, Bucky, Quark, and John discover evidence of Fiona's murder.
Warnings: References to character death.

[The aquarium has the feel of a small-town tourist attraction, the sort built to give people just stopping to fuel up on petrol a reason to stay for an hour or two. There are various aquariums inside that, according to plaques beside them, once showcased various Alaskan fish; they're empty now. The whole atmosphere is kind of eerie, with the water casting rippling patterns on the walls, ceilings, and floors, but there's hot water in the sinks for anyone who wants it.

What's probably unwanted by everyone is the eyes. They're on the walls, drawn in the frost on the windows, they're on the ceilings, and the static crawls its way over walls and people. The sense of being watched, of being followed, is strong.]

[He can't help but snicker a bit now.]

Save it if you ever need to punish them.

[And he really hopes if that every happens that you have lots of video, Kunsel. Seriously.

Taking the coffee with a murmured "Thanks", Sora takes a small sip and immediately feels a little wash of warmth. It's not enough to take all of the edge away but it's definitely a welcome feeling and he brightens considerably.]

Sure! I can definitely do that. I've found all sorts of things while I've been going back and forth so I'm sure I can find something useful!

[deus_ex_phs]

Hah, I'd just have to be willing to take the risk of punishing myself, too!

[There could very well be video if Kunsel ever catches them in the middle of stupid antics.

Assuming he doesn't get dragged into them, too.]

Thanks.

Though speaking of which, is there anything people have asked you to look out for that you haven't found yet?

[seekthelight]

True True. Might be worth it though depending on the situation.

[He looks forward to it.

Either way~]

Not yet. Honestly? Not many people have seemed to need anything but I have moved a few things around and left stuff behind just in case someone wants anything. I've mostly been trying to keep an eye out for any clothing or vitamins.

[deus_ex_phs]

[Kunsel makes a small noise of approval at Sora's priorities.]

Clothing's always in short supply. If you're looking for clothes, though, you might try one of the stores downtown. Most of what was there when I passed through was summer clothing, but with enough layers that could still be useful.

If you don't know where it is, I could show you on the map.

[seekthelight]

[And that noise of approval makes him perk up a bit.]

I think I know where that is! It'd definitely be worth a look, especially since I'm going to add a drop spot on my route so the more stuff I have, the better!

[deus_ex_phs]

Just let people know where you drop things - unless they're things meant only for specific people.

[Then obviously Sora would tell those people in private.]

[seekthelight]

I have been, I promise! I've got boxes set up in all the spots where I leave things with signs on them too!

[He's actually been rather smart about this. Everyone should be proud of him.]

[deus_ex_phs]

Good idea.

[You can add Kunsel to the list of people who are proud of you, Sora!]

I guess I don't have any advice for you, then. Looks like you're pretty well set up.

[seekthelight]

[Sora's expression turns sheepish as he shrugs slightly in response.]

I'm trying my best. I just want to make sure everyone has the supplies they need. The more supplies I can get to people, the better. I mean, I know it's possible to find all sorts of things here but if I can get specifics? And even the medicine people need? I think that means a whole lot more in the end.

[deus_ex_phs]

It does. If no one else says it, then let me say it, Sora. Thank you.

[He means it.]

Anyway, I better go find Zell and make sure he's not getting into trouble. Enjoy your coffee, alright?

[seekthelight]

[Sora can't help but look sheepish as he offers Kunsel a smile.]

It's no problem. This sort of thing is what I do!

[Even if he wishes he could do more.]

I will! Thank you again for it!

[deus_ex_phs]

You're welcome.

[Now, where exactly is Zell at...?

He wanders off, hoping the static doesn't make that task of locating his friend any harder than it needs to be.]
