A dark shadow looms over Hadriel on the morning of May 16th. There's a tension in the air, something palpable, as if everything has gone still and is ready to snap. You've been waiting for the other shoe to drop for hours now, and you're getting to the point where you're starting to wish that it would just happen already so that you can stop feeling this way.
Of course, when it does happen, it's not quite like you expect.
Maybe it's a tiger leaping out of your closet, claws extended. Maybe it's a faceless slenderman, stepping out from around the corner or a monster with beak and claws ripping open your shower curtain when you're most vulnerable- but within seconds, after you've been startled half to death by the monsters, they're gone. They vanish in a puff of smoke, or dissipate into glitter, or become something silly instead for a few brief moments before disappearing entirely.
Weird. But not unendurable, I guess. The bright side is that there will also be a few demon cats that have also made their way through the door. No two cats are ever in the same location, but there seems to be enough of them to go around, though the toothy one can be a bit vicious. Still, they aren't untameable, and might make nice pets, as long as you don't mind a bloody finger or two when it's time for lunch!► This log covers May 16th-May 20th.
► Feel free to make your own logs, as well

Which part?
no subject
no subject
[She didn't know Grint's daughter, had never met the girl. But it was something.]
no subject
You chose to do what was right instead of what was most beneficial to you.
no subject
[Maketh hesitates. She hadn't thought of it that way, not really.]
Oh. I see.
no subject
Good. I hope it's something you'll keep in mind.
[Even if the words are a little short, his tone is easy enough to read; that's one of those things he'd like her to think about and go over in her head a bit.
And then he hesitates briefly before changing the subject, much less confident about this than he had just been.]
I think I met someone else from your world, here.
no subject
[Maketh resists the urge to rub her eyes. Stars, she hopes it wasn't Hux. Kylo and Anakin can be explained if not excused. Hux is another matter all together.]
I suppose I should apologize for their manners. Which one?
no subject
He was slightly taller than I am, with red hair.
no subject
That would be Hux. What did he do this time?
no subject
He convinced me your world is in even greater need of therapists than I previously thought.
[It's dryly sarcastic, but he means it. It's also not what he'd been thinking about asking, obviously.]
no subject
I see. If it means anything to you, we're not from the same time. He's--twenty years after me? I'm not sure. I went to the Academy with his father.
[She grimaces.]
Awful man. I'm amazed he lasted long enough to spawn.
no subject
I presume you and Hux aren't friends.
[He's getting that from her comments, but he wants to be totally sure first with a yes or no answer that he can be confident in telling if is the true or a lie.]
no subject
We talk. I don't like him. He doesn't like me. But we understand each other.
[She looks away.]
He makes sense. And he doesn't feel sorry for me.
no subject
The problem is, Lance isn't sure exactly how strong their dislike of each other actually is just yet, or whether the connection from understanding is the more important aspect of their relationship. This could also be a serious issue in regards to Maketh attempting to make changes in her outlook, but he'd have to be careful in how he says so.]
Relationships like that aren't uncommon.
[He starts off that way, choosing his words purposefully.]
But they're not always beneficial for both or either of the people involved.
no subject
[She blinks, momentarily thrown by the first part. Hux isn't a good person, he's taken more lives than possibly anyone else in the cave and bragged about it. He serves what rose from the Empire's ashes - he's a war criminal if nothing else, violating the rules of proper engagement without a second thought. And worse, he did it openly. She ought to hate him and is quietly ashamed that she doesn't.]
I--explain, please.
no subject
It's natural, to seek out familiarity. In a place like this where many people aren't even from the same world, it's even more understandable that those who are might stick together, even if they have personal animosity between them.
no subject
[Now that he puts it like that, it makes sense. Hux makes sense to her. The reverse is true for him as well.]
You disapprove.
no subject
[No point in arguing that, even if he's trying to tread carefully here.]
I didn't speak with him for that long, but he seems to embody the traits you were interested in lessening in yourself.
[And so being around him is kind of detrimental to that process.]
no subject
He has skills I need. We build weapons for the Guard.
no subject
I saw that he was carrying a type of gun that I was unfamiliar with; do you know anything about it?
[His tone is casual and curious, rather than intent in the way it usually is when he's asking about thing.]
no subject
[Maketh isn't sure why that matters.]
no subject
It didn't work when he tried to fire it, so I was curious as to why. Particularly if he's familiar enough with weapons to be helping you manufacture them.
no subject
I suspect he was making a point. A blaster doesn't work like your pistol does. Hux isn't the type to carry a defective weapon.
no subject
How do they work? Generally.
[It's both a question of curiosity and something that he thinks would be very good to know if there are problems in the future.]
no subject
[Maketh grimaces. She's not a fan of bullets.]
Bullets are very--inconvenient. I hadn't realized how difficult they were until I came here.
