Who: Alexis and Lullaby
Where: Phones, the beach, then Alexis' house
When: Night

Being home alone wasn't supposed to be quite this terrifying. Alexis' father had been home for dinner and while he was in the house there was nothing to be afraid of. The ghost that she'd seen last night was nowhere to be found. Assuring her that everything would be okay, he stepped out for the evening, and that was when the ghost appeared again, as if he was haunting her. Alexis didn't know why, couldn't fathom what she'd done to earn the ghost's attention, but she wanted him gone. Tonight it was worse. Tonight he was inside the house, stalking her, which left Alexis trying to hide from a being that walked through walls. Could they float, though? Like in movies? With the hope that they couldn't, she climbed up into the attic and drew the ladder, shutting herself in.

After last night's exchange with Kyle, she decided he probably wasn't a good option to try and calm her down. Alexis scrolled through her phone, looking for someone she could just talk to. When Thia's name popped up, she paused, trying to remember the last time they'd talked. It had been a while. Maybe catching up would be a nice distraction from the ghost below. With that in mind, she dialed the number and waited for Thia to pick up.

When: Evening

Who: Alexis and Lullaby
Where: Textland!
When: Night

Alexis was walking home from Nevermore when she realized she really needed to stop spending so many nights in. She was doing fine in school, got most of her homework done while at work, and was just going to flip on the tv when she got back to the house. Her father might be around, but most nights he was tired. He probably wouldn't mind her having a bit more of a social life, so long as she didn't start telling anyone what he did. Since that wasn't going to happen, she thought she might as well start now.

Hey, Thia! It's Alexis-- the girl from the lake? I was wondering if you'd like to hang out tomorrow night, or sometime soon. Let me know :)

Who: Alexis and Lullaby
Where: Down by the lake
When: Pre-dawn

When her father woke in the middle of the night, Alexis woke up with him. She made breakfast, packed it in a brown paper sack, and waved as he headed out the door. He expected her to go back to bed. He'd be back by nightfall, if everything went according to plan, and he hated messing with her schedule. But she couldn't sleep when she knew he was leaving, and she couldn't just crawl back in bed once he was gone.
