Mauvaise Chance Apartments - Early, Early, God Awful Early Saturday Morning

[hatesparadise]

It had been a normal, peaceful morning that was so early it was practically the night before still. If one wanted to be specific. Or if they were still constrained by the tyrant of time.

Then a piercing noise sounded throughout the building as a fire alarm went off.

Because why get a good night's sleep when you could be dragged out of bed to wait on the tiny, under-worked Fandom Fire Department to come make sure everything was fine?

[Open! Make those threads messy!]

"That look is very you," Liam decided, obnoxiously cheerful for whatever hour this was.

[solarhippie]

Was he just trying to piss everyone off?

... Okay, so, it was much harder to achieve that with Karolina, actually. But she looked kind of miserable?

"Thanks, I guess."

[firstofitskind]

Hey, it wasn't his fault his particular physiology meant he thrived on very little sleep!

"I'm sure it'll be over soon?" he offered.

[solarhippie]

No, but not toning down his chipperness was clearly a choice.

Karolina pushed her tangly hair back and away from her face with a slightly uncoordinated hand, and sighed. "Hopefully, yeah." Because she was so tired.

[firstofitskind]

Hey, he wasn't chipper, just... far more cheerful at the prospect of being awake at this hour than anyone else in the vicinity. Which, let's face it, wasn't exactly a high bar.

"I'm going on a coffee run," he offered. "You want something?"

[solarhippie]

Karolina shook her head.

"I'm hoping to go back to bed when this is over," she said, by way of explanation. "Unfortunately." Because coffee and/or sugar sounded amazing, but either was likely to wreck her sleep.
