[ Minutes ago, there had been a scream as Ilda jolted awake. And in the dark of the night she'd panicked, the sight of the not-quite-familiar room making her think that she was still in the jungle, with the inky mass of... something trailing menacingly right behind her.

She'd stumbled out of bed and out of the room, her new roommates momentarily forgotten.

When she'd finally sent out a message, she was up on the roof, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face. ]

H-Help.

Certainly, take the time you need. I'll be in my room for the next few hours, I imagine - I'm trying to collect other accounts now.

I don't know the significance of it yet, but no, we're hardly alone.

[ Strange, that it takes so unusual an event for Rutile to finally feel connected to others here. ]
