(((((OOC: Slow. Writing another story, which is for the comic that Numbah and I are doing. Posting it as soon as I can finish it.)))))
Once morning arrived, Delfina was still feeling in a bit of a funk. She groggily got up out of her bed, having slept in the clothes that she was wearing last night, and went to get some breakfast at the cafeteria. She wouldn't be able to perk up until she had something in her belly.
She had something to do today as well. Delfina had been meaning to get some clothes made for her that'll fit her gargoyle body and not rip when she switched form.
~~~~~
Ebony awoke sometime later, unaware that Delfina had woken up before her. She was still feeling a little under the weather, but was otherwise fine as far as her now-nonexistent fever and dizziness were gone. Her twins were nestled against her, faintly purring and kneeding her side a little bit.
She smiled at them affectionately.
Now, what was she going to do today? Oh yeah. After snagging a nearby can of gas and her notebook computer, Ebony began surfing the World Wide Web for anything that interests her.

Darcy awoke and stretched on the sleeping pad that had been provided for her, and tossed off her night cover, folding it as carefully as she could. She was on a flagstone-covered area in the court, adjacent to a sandpit where a few teens were already having an early volleyball game. This cavern alone was the size of three and half soccer fields, or two bumperball fields, whichever way one wanted to look at it. After folding up her bed kit, she carried it over to an empty alcove where a few such items were now stored. She noted that Ebony was already awake and checking something out on her notebook, and hoped the Viper was feeling better as she approached.
<<< Slow tonight and tomorrow, comics stuff to work on >>>

Ebony was now getting better at using the notebook that was usually built for the humans. Her antenna and wipers tapped gracefully on the buttons. She had found an online art college that offered courses for free through the Internet and she was looking through several different types of majors that she might like to take. Graphic Design sounded good and so did Criminal Justice. It was hard to make a choice between the two majors. Maybe researching each one was a good idea.
She only looked up when she heard Darcy approaching and smiled at her.

Maeve, who was with the rest of her group, waved to Delfina as she entered the dining hall. "G'morning."
"Morning, Ebony." Darcy returned the smile as she closed the distance. She also smiled at the little boys at their mothers' side.
Today, the cats were back, padding quietly about the park.

Delfina waved back as she got her breakfast. "G'morning." She then went to sit at the corner table again.
~~~~~
"Morning," nodded Ebony, "How are you today?"
She noticed the cats padding about in the court.

Raine woke up to a nudge on her hand. She stirred and opened her eyes slowly to meet the pair of blue eyes of a familiar Hudson Hornet.
"......nnnn mornin'...." She mumbled sleepily.

"Better," Darcy smiled. She noted the cats. "Do you know what these creatures are?"
Doc had taken the time to make a quick check on Misty before returning to Raine's bedside, making sure that she was taking her medicine and painkillers before checking his email for a response from an eye trauma specialist in Phoenix. He then rolled back up to Raine and nudged her hand. As she woke, he smiled. "G'morning." Lightning had already gone out with Mack and Mater to see if the dirt road into the place was again passable. If so, the scout troop could move out and get back to their families.
A stocky woman of fiftyish years with short bleached-blonde hair and clothed in a flamboyant caftan made her way over to Delfina's table. "You're Delfina, aren't you?"

"I believe they're called cats," said Ebony, watching the cats, "they're from the humans' world, but they're nearly similiar to the smalltrack kits here, except for looks."
~~~~~
Delfina looked up from her breakfast at the woman, "That would be me, even if I look different now."

"Pardon me if I haven't said so before, but I'm Mandy-Sue Hotchkiss." the woman smiled. "You haven't seen much of me 'cause usually I don't stick my nose out of my loft." A strong East Texas accent was evident in her speech. "Tess was tellin' me that you might need some new clothes, and I can kinda see why."
"They're sweet." Darcy smiled as a seal-point Siamese brushed against her, making it very clear with attitude and voice that she had no business being in the park chamber without paying him some attention, thanks very much!
Julian woke up from a nightmare involving several demons, a table with straps, and red-hot pokers. He could hear Micheal stirring around in the room next to his, and off to the right, some woman muttering to herself - that would be Anita, he presumed. His door opened briefly, covered by two guards as they slid a food tray through. After they left, he got off his cot and went over to peruse the offerings... cold cereal, milk in a small vessel off to the side, plastic spoon, toast and juice in a carton. Not too bad. He'd heard Micheal complain, rather profanely, about getting little more than bread and water the previous night. He couldn't say he felt too sorry for the man. He cursed his half-shadow ancestry for not allowing him to simply shadow-walk out of confinement, at least not so soon after the energy expenditure of a hellride. At this point, it occurred to him to start worrying about Gloriana, and hope his mother's favorite mare hadn't broken her leg someplace while fleeing the great metal monster. Would he get the chance to talk to anyone today?

"Yeah," Delfina indicated her wings and tail, plus the reformed hands and feet and the small hornlike projections on her forehead, "I need some clothes that won't rip when I shift form."
~~~~~
"And they're little attention-seekers too," Ebony chuckled at the seal-point Siamese.

Raine sat up in her bed slowly before brushing her hand against the Hornet's muzzle. "How's the mirror? Sorry, I can't help but be concerned for you... would it get infected?"

"I washed and disinfected it." Doc answered. "It should do until I get a fix. I'll just have to be careful on that side until I do. So how are you feeling this morning?"
Darcy dangled her antenna over the cat, which pawed at it. "You sound a little better than last night. Did you need anything?"
Mandy-Sue stood back and took in Delfina's current shape. "I've had some experience with... unusual requirements. Would you have some time to come over afterwards and get some measurements taken?"

"Mm... not that the moment," Ebony shook her front, "but I bet I still have to take it easy. I'm still feeling a bit under the weather, although not as bad as last night."
~~~~~
"I don't have anything in particular to do right now, so any time is good with me," replied Delfina, "I can come in after breakfast."

Raine coughed a few times before answering with a smile. "Okay... still a bit weak... but I'm fine... How's Misty and Ebony?"

"Misty is OK, she's on painkillers and antibiotics now." Doc answered. "I didn't speak to Ebony, but did look in on her before she awoke. She looked a little better and her breathing was better than it was last night."
Mia came over to the nook with some juice and a light breakfast for Raine. "So what's the story this morning?"
"Fine by me." Mandy-Sue nodded. "So I'll see you later, OK?"
"Was it something you caught or did this just happen?" Darcy asked.
