Room 323 [Thursday, Evening]

[pastmewrong]

Peter was gone, and his side of the room was now bare and empty. Effy's mum, however, had landed, and supposedly was on the island. At least, there were several texts implying it and asking where she was. Effy hadn't bothered to go find her.

Alex hadn't seen Effy since he'd gotten back from retrieving Emma and after not seeing her around the community center, he trekked his way back to the dorms and made his way up to knock on her door.

[I apologize if I disappear randomly, there's a possibility of thunderstorms and I might have to jump off!]

The tapping made it far enough into her conscious mind to raise a reaction, and she paused in her appraisal long enough for a, "Yes?"

Somewhere in that single syllable, there might have been an implied 'the door's open' or 'come in', but it didn't quite make it to being vocalised. Maybe she assumed anyone who came by would catch the meaning.

[[S'all good, I may pass out asleep sometime in the next couple hours anyway!]]

Alex paused for a second before he pushed open the door and stuck his head just inside the door. "Effy? You hibernating or something?"

"Or something," she repeated vaguely, tapping those scissors against her free hand as she peered down at her array of clippings.

"Are you?" she continued after a second or two. It would seem not, since he was here asking her, but she was hardly at her most logical.
