Fourth.

[trustfellows]

As the fourth week comes to a close and Friday morning dawns like the rest of the week before it, with the chiming of the clock and the doors to the kitchen unlocking, it seems, for a brief moment, that everything will be normal. For a given degee of "normal", anyway – perhaps some are on edge because there's a definite pattern that's been happening here, but for a few blissful moments, everything seems quiet. It doesn't last long; eventually, Jericho's voice can be heard over the public-address system. He doesn't sound as excitable as usual, though perhaps that can be explained away with the content of his message: "Hey. Just so you know, we've kind of got a problem this morning. Nothing catastrophic or anything, but you might want to get into the foyer so you know what's going on. We'll be waiting." You might want to go.

Tabby--!!

[ Alex almost rushes forward. Almost. Tabby was so sweet to her, so insistent that she shouldn't shoulder all this sadness, but it's like...something's stopping her. She can't move.

It's probably fear. Probably. But she suspects otherwise. ]

Shit. Shit, shit- what are we gonna do?

.....don't worry about it.

[And then Susan just turns and goes. Okay?]
