Day 53: Sun Room, Morning
With breakfast finished and a new acquaintance made, the Scarecrow's mind turned to his other friends. The disappearance of Depth Charge's friend had brought back memories of how he'd felt when Kaiji went missing: helpless, useless, as though he should have and could have done something more to find him. If only he had his brain, then maybe he could have thought of something!
As much as he didn't like to admit it, it was unlikely his former roommate was still within the Institute's walls at this point, though the Scarecrow wouldn't know for sure unless Kaiji returned to visit him as Dorothy had, encouraging his supposed recovery. There was still the concern that Landel, despite his vile methods, was actually right and he was suffering from the delusion of having been a scarecrow in Oz. After all, that movie had been a pretty elaborate trick. Would he have planted it in town on purpose, knowing the Scarecrow would be taken there the night of the enchanted doors? And how could he guarantee that once he did find it, he'd take it and actually watch it? There was so much guesswork involved- it seemed the Wizard Landel either liked coincidences or he had more power on his side than any of the patients could have guessed.
The Scarecrow stopped by the bulletin board before heading for a seat, considering writing a note to his friends to check on them. He'd heard from Depth Charge, Remy, and Kibitoshin within a day's time, so he figured they were probably fine (as fine as Depth Charge could have been after last night, anyway). He'd seen Mele and Scar the day before. He put a finger to his head, thinking- he'd not heard from Abe or Sangamon in a day or so, but being professionals, they were probably very busy. Perhaps a note would be best for them.

no subject
Stefan changed the topic before Damon could say much on it, though. Was his brother worried he might feed on one of his new acquaintances? How Stefan of...Stefan.
For a moment, he toyed with how much he wanted to say. It wasn't some big secret—there was no one he'd met yet that he cared for, definitely not enough to consider going out of his way to hide it—but he wasn't good with volunteering information, no matter how minor. A habit of decades; he'd been screwed over way too many times.
Still, it was Stefan. He wouldn't admit to trusting his brother, exactly, but he couldn't deny that compared to the rest of the people here, he did trust him more. It was on a purely relative scale, that was all.
"Well, there's your sweet new friend Claire." He ticked off a lazy finger. "Blonde, cute. Probably a cheerleader. I like her," he added thoughtfully. An absent footnote. Did Stefan already know Damon had met her? Probably not, unless she'd caught up to him afterwards in which case she must've mentioned it, no doubt as a way to keep a lagging conversation going. People were predictable.
"Couple of others not worth mentioning. And this one girl, who I'd really like to know what the hell she is. She made me as a vampire with one look. Probably should've killed her right there." He slid his eyes to his brother, half-playful and half deadly serious. "Don't worry, I haven't touched her. Yet. She's...interesting."
As soon the threat level she represented outweighed his interest in her, she would be taken care of. That went without saying. But there was something about her, when he'd spoken to her. The way she hadn't seemed bothered by much of anything. It was odd and more than a little familiar. She had a dismissive arrogance that reminded him of those who lived untouched by the pesky details of mortal life that bogged down most humans. Vampires, in other words. Ones who didn't bother with feelings like Stefan. She clearly wasn't a vampire, though. What was she?
Maybe if they were going to be stuck here for the foreseeable future—something which, as much as he hated it admit, seemed more and more likely as time passed—he should check back in with her. Maybe. Depending on if it would be worth it. She did know what he was and while she evidently had no interest in exposing him—well. That could still change. He'd have to play it with more caution. Otherwise, he'd just end up having to kill her after all and getting sent back to square one would be a waste.
