[EVENING, HOUSE 7 - 21ST JANUARY - CLOSED TO FAITH]
[Death hurts like a bitch. After days of confusion and nights haunted by dreams of a woman's blazing eyes and cruel hands wrapped around his neck, he finally puts the pieces together. Jessica. He remembers what she did. He remembers this place, the strange musty room, the silence.

He takes back his device and scans through the messages. He sees Jessica's public service announcement – Jesus Christ. She told the entire fucking community everything, even his real name. The only thing she neglected to do was provide a picture. How did he ever think he was in love with this woman? He's going to have to hide and he's going to have to change his name. How many people has he introduced himself to? A few: some will remember and recognise him. But a lot won't, and that gives him some breathing space to figure out how to deal with this.

First, he needs a bodyguard, preferably someone who can match Jessica and someone he can control. Someone he knows how to find.

Well, then. A name does come to mind. He goes to House 7, looking around for a familiar face, a girl with dark hair and eyes, a girl who told him that she had super strength. The moment he sees her, he doesn't wait: he has to risk it. He speaks a single, quiet word:]


Stop.


[DAY, HOUSE 9, HOUSE 10 AND OUT AND ABOUT - 23RD/24TH JANUARY - SEMI-OPEN]
[He lies low for a couple of days but he can't hide forever. Eventually Jessica is going to learn that he's back and he'd rather do that on his terms. Be prepared. So he takes Faith out with him and heads first to House 9 where he's looking for Kara, the one other person whose location he knows who is both susceptible to his control and has the ability to protect him.

Then he goes back to House 10, but warily, making Faith check first that Jessica isn't there before going in, and keeping his visit as short as possible. He's here to pick up a couple of things from his room, that's all.

While he's going from house to house, he can be approached – but note that Faith is with him at all times and she is under orders to protect him from any threat or attack. He's sticking to the busiest areas so there will always be NPCs around. Safety in a crowd.]

[She's the question and knows he'll make her answer if she tells him nothing.]

Just a nosy roommate. Wanted to know where I've been. I got him to leave and mind his own business.

[She shrugs.] I told him to leave and he did. Said he'd leave me alone. Might think something's up, but I don't think he'll do anything about it but insist that I can come to him if I need help.

[A silent breath of relief. Okay. She moves back to her spot, sitting on the ground near the door.]
