Summer 7 - Game Night

[norrhamn_residents]

[ It's a rainy afternoon on Norrhamn, with a distant thunderstorm rumbling over the gray sea. Typical Swedish summer, if we're honest, but that only means that the residents on this island know exactly how to combat it: with a game night.

The main dining hall has been cosied up for the occasion. There's plenty of blankets to go around and the tables have been laid out with flickering tealights and a variety of board- and card games of varying difficulty. There's Scrabble of course, and games like Settlers of Catan, Clue, Ludo and many others, along with regular decks of playing cards. There may be a few Witchcraft: The Collection around here too...

Alongside the usual offerings of hot food that's served throughout the day, the kitchen staff has set up a table with tea, coffee and hot chocolate, as well as treats like cinnamon buns and cookies, salty snacks and candy. Perfect to nibble on while in a particularly thrilling game of Backgammon, or just a good setup for a rainy day fika. ]

Summer 7 - action; closed to Jack and Ianto

[ It hasn't quite started raining yet by the time Spike makes his way over to Perch Cabin. Spending this first night apart has been... an experience, and not necessarily one he enjoyed. It's been years since he slept alone and while a part of him can appreciate the more relaxed, independent way things were back in Marina it's a hard change to make. He has a feeling they'll need to come up with a better solution before long.

Cigarette nearly smoked to the filter, Spike approaches the cluster of fish themed cabins, still mostly lost in his own thoughts as he lifts his head to locate the right one. ]

SUMMER 7 - ACTION (morning: housemates / afternoon: ota)

SUMMER 7 MORNING: DEER CABIN

[April woke a bit late in the morning, feeling unusually well-rested for the first time in years; barring a single exception when she was in the Lunacen Tower, it'd been a considerable amount of time since she'd last had a decent bed, and thanks to that, she almost didn't want to get up at all. She didn't want to laze the whole day away, though, so she eventually forced herself from the bed, and turned her attention to the bag she had brought with her. She'd only set it down and hadn't bothered to unpack its contents yesterday, so she might as well take care of that now.

Not that there was much to unpack, just some extra clothing and a few other necessities.

When she made her way down to the cabin's communal room, she realized that her housemates were either still in their respective rooms, or were already outside of the cabin already doing their own things. She wasn't about to check their individual rooms—especially with not yet having even met the second of those housemates yet—but it made enough sense to assume that Chloe might have gone out on that walk she had mentioned.

Though the day was a cloudy one, going for a walk of her own didn't seem like a terrible idea after all. Before that, though, she needed to see what her options were as far as breakfast went.]

SUMMER 7 AFTERNOON: GENERAL STORE / THE LAKE

[She began her walk in the middle of the afternoon, having taken some time after her breakfast to clean up a bit and try some of the extra clothing that Elia had given her when she left Lunascen; most of what she'd been given looked like it had been chosen based on her apparent preferences, so she simply grabbed one of those outfits and called it a day. There was one piece of clothing there that didn't really fit in with the rest—a blue dress with some silver trimmings—and though it struck her as familiar somehow, she wondered if it had been put in with the rest by mistake.

After she finally went outside, the first place she went was the general store, mostly for a quick visit to see what was offered because she had come straight to the cabin almost immediately after stepping off the ferry. After some browsing (but not picking anything up; she was just looking), she continued on her way, and before she knew it, she'd wandered out toward the lake. Her last few experiences involving forested areas hadn't exactly been pleasant, and though things here looked much calmer in comparison to the forests back home (especially in recent times, with everything that was going on over the past weeks), there still was that nagging feeling that she was being watched. It made her a little uncomfortable, really, and if anyone else happened upon her while she was out here, that discomfort would be pretty clear to them as well.]
