Room 218, Friday Night

[glacial_queen]

Karla was planning to head upstairs to Warren's room in a few minutes, she just had a few more herbs to mix for brews. It seemed less and less likely that this--whatever if was--was going to end in a fight, but she figured it would be best to be prepared anyway. The last of her spidersilk was spun into Healing webs, there were potions and tinctures and unguents prepared. Hopefully this meant that when it all went down, Karla would be ready for something.

[Open!]

Karla bit back a worried 'Are you sure?' She knew that Barbara's computers hadn't been registering anything amiss all that time, either. But the Scarab was more than a computer, so maybe...

Maybe Karla just had to trust that Jaime was right.

She nodded, even though he couldn't see it. "I'll let people know, okay? Maybe send out an email or something? Should they prepare for a stay? Or to kind of...settle down?"

There was a moment of silence. "That's up to them," Jaime eventually answered. "If they need a permanent place, we can find one." He wasn't sure how confident people were of being able to solve this one...

Karla was growing less confident every day. With every new picture on the board and every phone call she had to take from someone else saying goodbye.

"I'll let people know," she said again. "And see what they decide to do."

Maybe send money along with them, so if they needed funds they'd have it without straining the Reyes' family savings too badly. "I really appreciate the offer. On everyone's behalf."

"Thanks for passing it on," Jaime said, voice sincere. "I... well, it's nice to feel like I've done something useful."
