The Saints Can't Help Me Now

Postby Isolde Schwarz » Fri Apr 06, 2018 10:59 pm

For the first time in months Isolde looks genuinely restless in her cell. Her features already show some of the telltales of the moon being this close, her ears coming to peaked points and her eyes livid green-gold.

She looks wistfully to the entrance before slumping down against the far wall in frustration.

Tereza comes in, stepping into the other empty cell which locks behind her. She bounces a little and starts pacing in the small space. "The Danger Room should be ready in time for the next one. I was hoping we wouldn't have to do the cells again," she says, glancing at Isolde.

"I know. I know. Doesn't smell the same, doesn't blah blah blah," she says irritably. "It's not like we own a large section of fenced wilderness that we can run in though."

"Well, I'm sure you could call her here if you want. I mean, obviously she couldn't be in the cell with you, but we still have intercom on these things." She goes back to pacing.
