Susan's Dark has been both more and less dreadful than she feared at the outset. Focusing her attention on pulling together a nice, small celebration for Lancelot's birthday with all of his dearest, favorite people in attendance, eating foods he loves most gave her something to sink her teeth into for much of the month, even if the bulk of the preparations were necessarily made well in advance of the month (so that she might, of course, set aside the appropriate supplies). Of course she specifically put off working on his gift - a letter detailing the myriad variations and impossible scope of her love for him - until the start of Dark, so that she might have something to occupy her days. Making herself reflect on each word, each sentence at length occupied a fair amount of time.

(Also, recovering from the awful cold she caught delivering groceries to Laertes and Sagramore filled some of the time rendered empty by the onset of the month.)

But now Lancelot's birthday is behind them, and one week more of Dark stretches ahead. Susan, discomfited by the absence of anything to plan, readies herself to learn a new skill. She's in the armory with Lancelot, frowning over swords. "How does one even begin to properly assess the balance?" she asks.

1. Closed.

It has been a little while since Benvolio and Mercutio had that whole... conversation in the hot spring, and while they haven't been avoiding each other since then, they certainly haven't had the second half of that chat yet.

Benvolio doesn't even know why he's nervous about it -- the most important part has already been said, surely? Not to mention the fact that the other snag in the situation is kind of solved by, you know, Tybalt not being here. Mercutio said he has known he loved Benvolio for years, but didn't know anything like that regarding Tybalt until he was here, but Tybalt isn't here anymore, and Benvolio is.

That should make everything easy, right?

Ugh.

Seriously, all these magicians and gods and everything, yet nobody has offered to turn Benvolio into a rock yet? Incredibly rude. Rocks don't have to deal with this kind of thing.

Regardless, it has been more or less business as usual lately. The weird season issue has made finding activities to occupy his time with a little more difficult, but not that much harder to be honest.

Today, for example, the pair of them have a box Benvolio found not too long after he first arrived, full of strange little... sticky hands on sticky tethers. They feel almost like the same material his Silly Bandz are made from, only, you know... sticky. They have set up in a random parlor with the box and are throwing the hands, one by one, against the far wall to see how many of them can stick there.
