There was now an overwhelming urge to run and isolate.
Jack kept glancing towards his room… No one would notice… Would they? He’s just riding it out open his room. Nothing wrong with that? And if he were to slip out through the sliding glass door, well, it’s certainly better than if he tore up his room should he indeed turn. He looked around one more time, neither Roger nor Darcy were paying attention to him right now. As quickly and as silently as he could, Jack hurried back to his room, closing the door behind him. He briefly debated locking it, but admittedly forgot. He paced around his room for a bit, trying to remember the route he had planned out a few days ago when on a walk.
Unable to take it anymore, he wretched the glass door open. The air was fresh and calmed him just a bit. After looking behind him one more time, he broke into a sprint off the property. He just ran, vaguely remembering where he had planned out. The more he ran, the deeper his bad leg burned, but at least if he was alone, people were safe. He eventually came to a stop a bit deep in the woods, but close to town. He can wait out the night here. The sun still hasn’t set yet, giving him time. Another wave of pain caused him to lower himself clumsily onto the forest floor, head resting against his knees. He was pale and sweaty and shaky, but at least people were safe. That’s all that mattered.
(Someone call the SCP Foundation, Jack has breached containment)

(Make sure not to blink!) .' - Adeline Nicholson - '. With a plastic cupholder balanced in one hand, two steaming drinks inside, Adeline pushed the coffee shops door open with a little 'Ding!', letting it close behind her similarly. It was getting darker, which mean's she's probably gonna make it to work right on time. Glancing around the street, feet carrying her towards her next crosswalk, Adeline looks to the side, where the forest lays. It's always a tad of an inconvenience that her and her coworkers favorite coffee shop is on the edge of town, but at least she always gets to work on time with how early she leaves.. Is she gonna have to work with that one very whiny lady again? She got into a crash recently.. (and she's the one who hit the other person) and is making her own issue everybody's problem- like, who asks a surgeon to get you water? |

++ Zhenya Metaxas-- It is a touch more diffcult to track someone in a vehicle, even if that someone is a shifter whose scent is familiar to him. Zhenya makes up for this fact by operating primarily on hunches. Nola wouldn't drive particularly fast, so it's easy to calculate how much distance she would have covered whilst also taking into account how congested traffic would be at this time of day. He knows her route as it's a common one for midday of the full moon- Andy the werewolf officer often complained about it- so he's able to adjust his own path to engineer a shortcut. At his speed he wouldn't be able to catch up, per se, but he does suspect..."Aha~! Found you~"
It was a gamble to start toward the gas station rather than continuing on her route, but he knows that there's a coffeehouse nearby and he also knows that Nola didn't bring a drink with her into the station. With the town relatively quiet, there was a good chance that she'd take a break for a pick-me-up or something to fill her stomach before the exertion of the night. At the very least, he knows her to consume coffee somewhat regularly. And lo and behold, there was her vehicle parked right in front of the quaint little establishment. Grinning, Zhenya picks up the pace as he closes his parasol and swings it over his shoulder. Upon entering, he finds himself wrinkling his nose at the bitter scent of coffee grounds- he's more of an 'absurdly colored energy drink' kind of guy- but he will not be deterred after coming so far. He locates her immediately; sitting primly at the counter with her hair in a neat bun and fingertips picking at the frayed edges of her jacket- a habit that he's observed countless times before.
On any other day the familiar sight would turn his gaze fond, but he's too keyed up to be anything other than elated that his guesswork was right on the money. He kinda wants to pounce on her. That's usually how hunts are meant to end- but that action is only understandable when it's a tiger enacting it so he settles on approaching at a more sedate pace. Zhenya's musical tenor cuts through the din with a, "Nola~! I-" He cuts himself off when he realizes who she's speaking with. Of course the scent and sight had registered before then; Zhenya simply labeled the presence as irrelevant until he made the connection that this was the librarian who'd interrupted his casual interrogation, once upon a time.
"Oh~?" His smile grows sharper, head canting with quiet amusement as he lowers his dark glasses. "Never thought I'd see you out of the library~ Mmm...Javalle...Mottley, was it?"

[ I'm back~ <3 Starting on Thursday I may be really busy but I'll still try to stay active and help you guys move the narrative along! For safety's sake though, I may not involve myself too much in the main plot for now... I was just reading through all the planning and it seems like you guys have everything well in hand, it's going to be fun~! ^^ I also think it's a great idea to maybe have Maria wander away and try to warn everyone about the rogues bloodrosepelt ! ] |

(Welcome back, Hush! Don't worry about writing over me- I fell asleep again. I have a final to take today and I didn't want to run on little sleep! I actually didn't know how to write Javalle's next response so Anya popping in is a "welcome" surprise; he's going to be so excited!! (SARCASM)
I'm so excited to write things out again, I should be able to get something out this afternoon hopefully!)

Unaware of Jack's absence, Roger takes a moment to stop walking around and to take a deep breath. He really needed to calm down if not for his sake but for Jacks. He could only imagine how stressful this must be for him. Later on, he would check on his roommate to see how he was carrying on. Roger goes into his room and picks up his Switch. Perhaps, some Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley would calm him down.

"As you can tell, a bit on edge, but nothing a little tea can't fix." He responded politely and honestly to the officer, as anyone could notice he was a bit dreary. Possibly because he hasn't eaten anything for the day, as he normally doea during the full moon. Just then, he noticed his order was ready. He picked up the plastic cup daintily and gave the steam a quick blow before setting it down. That's when he whiffed something else, another vague scent that gave the were-lynx a brief chill. Surely it isn't the peppermint? Stronger it was growing now, filling the whole shop with the unpleasant musk of…another feline. A much larger feline. The familiarity of memories days prior caused Javalle to tremble involuntarily, and he shrunk back with the realization that his nightmare was becoming true. He's found me…
The opening of the cafe door confirmed Javalle's paranoid hunch. He was lucky the chai was still piping hot, otherwise tea would be sputtering out his nostrils. They should’ve suspected that these two officers worked together, but did the interrogating agent really have to manifest at this hour? On this day? First he’s invading the library, and now the coffee shop? A wave of panic bubbled in his throat, so much so that he was certain the larger were-cat could scent it.
His hand twitched slightly at the fact the officer knew his name, until Javalle realized that he probably knew everyone in town. Come to think of it, he's recalled seeing the female officer around the library as well…Anyways, the agent's cheerful, almost serenading voice hardly sounded threatening (in fact, slightly grating due to his senses perking up), so Javalle did his best to retain his composure despite the tremors. Still, they refused to keep their eyes on the were-tiger officer and instead glanced at the steam floating above his cup. "Yes. Yes it is. Coincidence meeting you here too. I'm assuming both of you are off duty for now?"
