[So in the later part of the month, Luz has been through some rather troubling situations, ones that had her fighting friends/WITH friends in blood arenas, seeing dead bodies of people she had unresolved issues with, and of course, the lack of sleep. That is always a factor. It is, in fact, the primary factor for this video.

The video is out of focus for a moment, but you hear little shuffling, and subtle crashes for a minute before Luz finally appears, slowly, as if peering out into the world].

Heeheeheeheehee....

You guys thought it was still a work in progress. That I wouldn't have the time. (Literally no one said this)BUT! Against all odds and sleep being a thing for UTTER FOOLS I finally have it done! What, you may ask?(No one did) I'll tell you!

Ooh, wow, that is a pretty night outs-ah! Anyway! Yes! Back to this! Feast your eyes, mere mortals and assorted others!

[Luz was off camera, and shifted the view luz-sroom1

to give a look at the left side of her new room, having made full use of its woody-ness for lanterns and hanging lights. This is even more present in her actual Luzsroom2

bed space on the right side of the room, and all of this would not be complete without Luz's assorted artwork and many stuffed animals adorning the place. You can see Tempest, her omen, choosing to sleep at the foot of her bed, and Owlbert, perched peacefully on one of the bed posts. It's clear these two were Luz's moral support during her cleaning and sorting and they are now SO tired they will let their charge gremlin out as much as she wants.

All in all, it was a hodgepodge of all things Luz, from the witchy potions and ominous lighting to the outdoorsy aesthetic she'd immediately loved, topped with her touch of cuddliness and art that she'd framed and put up herself].

Ha! See! I finally have the room looking like a place for sleepovers. OMINIOUS sleepovers! Or not, they could be regular. But! Now its a space for a new world, with new things to think about and intriguing ideas about my personal growth I don't dare to delve into yet!

So you know. If you guys ever want to hang, just say the word! But I'm open to new ideas! What do you all think? Other than "she really needs sleep." THAT JOKE IS GETTING OLD PEOPLE!

"Yeah, I noticed that. It's pretty dumb, but honestly, from what I hear about Deerington before I got here, being a Sleeper wasn't something they exactly welcomed with open arms. But I'm not a Vileblood either, so maybe it's worse for you guys. I'm sorry it's like that. Prejudices can be so dumb."

She wouldn't mind one extra person watching Luca's back, of course.

"Of course! Lemonade or applejuice? It's the juices that we have so far."

"Oh, don't I remember that. I arrived in Deerington in September, when the clerks in the stores were oddly helpful, but the customers snootily whispered behind my back about the 'scary looking beatnik', or even tried asking the manager to send me outside when they didn't accost me outright," he says, his tone suggesting he's rolling his eyes.

"Whatever you come to first: In a case like this, I'm far from particular."

Luz clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Rude. But then, I was told that the regular citizens that weren't Sleepers in Deerington were pretty bad. The whole town seemed to be something right out of the fifties anyway, so I can't imagine that either of us would have fit in super well."

Luz knew that "tomboy" would probably be one of the nicer things they'd say, even in a derisive tone.

"Oh, good! Pretty sure we only have apple juice right now anyway, but it's kinda cider-y, so it'll have a really good flavor to it!"

"I was born at the tail end of that era, so the culture and atmosphere were vaguely familiar, though I never felt at home in it. I'm probably far too forward-thinking for the people at home in that time." Also Spencer's reprogramming got in pretty deep. "However... once I discovered they were figments of our host's imagination, I took them far less seriously. That didn't stop me from messing with them a bit. I may have boosted a car from one of them after too many rude comments behind my back," he concludes with a smirk.

It could have been worse. He could have bagged some Townspeople as test subjects. Vira-Lorr would likely have ended him if he had.

"Cidery apple juice would be ideal: more sugars and nutrients that way," he says, packing up the rest of his gear.

"Wow, that's so bad!"

Luz knew that she hadn't even seen the worse of them anyway. She still remembered the description of the Bettys and that was enough to make Luz not so geared toward wanting to spend too much time around Deerington natives.

"Cider, coming right up!" Luz said, looking for a glass. "What are you getting into these days? Like, right now?"

"The grand theft auto or the gossip? Admittedly, my sense of justice is dark and direct," he admits.

"When I'm not busy at the Lumenarium, training as a Blood Minister, I'm assisting a Hunter, a rather strange sort: they dress like a medieval plague doctor - the sorts in the long leather robes with those beaked masks that make them look like raven-headed humanoids," he relates, seating himself. "I've never seen their face, but I've assisted them when they needed to be patched up after tangling with an especially fierce Beast. In return, they've brought me specimens from some of their Hunts. If you ever hear something running about on the roof, and see something in a beaked mask with a feathered cloak, fear not: Locrian the Hunter is keeping watch over the night."
