Re: A New Dawn
"Lunchtime" stretches on for longer than simply lunch might reasonably take, even if one assumes the Mayor is trying to impress the Strangers with a fancy, multi-course sort of luncheon. Nevertheless, your perseverance (or in some cases, perhaps it's laziness, as staying in the Schoolhouse is certainly easier than going home to find out if there are chores available) pays off, and after a few hours, Tralistaire's voice carries through the doorway. "..nk it's worth remaining wary, nevertheless. If there is one thing reliable about a Horror, it is their talent for deception."
This is followed by a sound of agreement; Kira's voice.
Then Calisaren's, from above you, "Our protegès are still here!" She's standing, of course, on the edge of the wall, waving down through the open ceiling. Moments later, the others - Flechette in front - start coming in through the doorway, save Jenette, who, yet again, pulls herself up over the wall and sits, legs dangling, a few feet from Calisaren.
