[ Since the City seemed to be back to normal again or at least it was whole once more, Will had decided to come out of hiding. He'd been held up in his apartment, eating very little and trying not to exert much energy. He'd never really been all that good at fighting, so he left hunting monsters to Hannibal. Now that he had access to the other side of the City, Will had spent the last few days working on a little project of his.

He was down by the lake when the video feed came on. Sleeves rolled up, sweat sticking curls of hair to his forehead and there was a healthy layer of dirt covering him too. A small axe he'd borrowed from the armory, some homemade rope, and stacks of wood he'd already scavenged or cut down. He was making a small hut to use when out fishing originally but had extended the project upon some thought. ]

Almost done... I er, my apartment was becoming a little over populated... What with all of these fellas , Winston, myself and Hannibal all living there so... I mean, I'm not exactly okay with the idea of people adopting them... I'd hate to think some of you tried to eat them after claiming them so... So I've built a little habitat for them. Please, please respect it?

[ Will turns his phone around, letting you see the 14+ Fennic fox and pair of Nugs he'd rescued when the demons arrived. He'd made a very small compound for them, much like a chicken coop and run. A few small huts for them to take shelter in and a small fence to hopefully keep things out. It was right next to his fishing hut too! So he could keep an eye on them of course. ]

I'd say you're all welcome to come and keep them company, they like to play... Er, you're also welcome to use the trapper shack too, but I mean, I'm there most days catching fish anyways so... Yeah.

[ Awkward as ever he cuts the feed. Closing his eyes and sighing. He'd forgotten to ask if anyone wanted to help him build it up a little bigger or to see if he needed permission from the Gods to start with. Oh well~ Never mind, right? ]

[ Caroline would balk at people making suggestions like that, and she'd tell them how disturbing they are. Right to their face. Why not? ]

For sure, I get it. [ She gives a quiet laugh, more reserved for just a couple of seconds. ] It's gonna take me awhile to get used to totally different places than Earth. I guess that's what...here is though, huh? [ Separate dimensions somewhere that seem catty-corner to Earth, those are a different story. Not that she's going to go into an explanation of details of magic in her world. Nope, no. Nah. People would think she was insane.

She's gripped to his answer about the animals, face lighting up at hearing that his dog is there. Its name. Then, her features pale a little before her lips press together. ]

That's a cute name. [ Which she means, but -- ] What kind of monsters have you seen? The only ones I saw were, well, dead. [ And ripped up into icky pieces, she doesn't add. Because, again, he must be intimately aware of that, as anyone living there longer than herself and Elena would be. Unless they just, never left their room? ]

[ Maybe her and Will would get along just swell. After all, if her opinions on the very few animals that lived here were as strong as Will's, then why wouldn't they get along? ]

You know... I've never really given it much thought...

[ Odd coming from the man who over thinks everything! Maybe because to dwell on it too much, Will was giving into fear? If he couldn't understand it or reach an answer that had no confirmation well.. It would drive him mad. ]

I guess I always just assumed because I could breathe and walk... There's oxygen... Gravity... But then I also wondered if any of this was even real, to begin with... For all, I know you're just a coma-induced hallucination and I'm simply laying in a hospital bed with a tube in my throat...

[ A bit grime sure, and he'll be sorry about it just as soon as the thought left his mouth. Grimacing his face once it dawned on him what he'd just said to this lovely young lady. Trying to focus on her other questions instead, so to not seem like a complete lunatic. ]

Um well, some of the people are monsters is what I was getting at... just didn't want to come across as rude...

[ Awkward~ ]

[ Once Caroline found Elena, discovered that her best friend was still human, came from so far back in time than herself, she didn't doubt that all of Hadriel was real. She couldn't think like that, not when she needed to be there for Elena, just as much as herself.

She gives a light laugh when he suggests that. No offense taken! Instead, she has what she thinks is a pretty clever statement to combat those thoughts. ] Could a hallucination living in your head sing every Taylor Swift song, word for word, beat for beat? [ She's proud of the reference; not so much the knowing all the T-Swift. ] Unless you're a fan? [ A bright smile. ] And if you're already worried about that, I won't try directly stating what's real and what isn't. Kind of defeats the purpose of discerning reality, doesn't it?

[ There's that last part, though. ] But, really? I haven't seen everyone, yet. [ Which she'll be fixing, over time, completely confident in her ability to meet all the people. ] You mean physically, instead of at heart, don't you? [ Because drawing this out seems like it won't make him feel any more awkward... ]
