[Alex had been as surprised as the rest of his party to hear that they'd been in the tunnels for nearly a months' time when it had only felt like a few hours while they were walking around in them.

It really shouldn't have surprised him that such a thing was possible, all things considered.

As it is, sine the Keep seems to be currently without a chef, he's been keeping himself busy in the kitchen. He's got his laptop plugged into one of the only outlets in the Keep and though he can't get online at all, it gives him full access to his iTunes collection; which is currently playing in the background.]

So .. I would recommend not trampling around in the tunnels beneath the Keep unless you're ready for a whole time flux .. thing. We were gone for what we thought was just a few hours, and apparently, according to all of you and .. well .. reality .. We were gone for nearly an entire month.

We miss anything of interest?

[All the while talking, Alex looks to be preparing something in the kitchen. His hair is pulled back into an intricate braid and he's got on an old fashioned apron.]

Have the staff shown up again, or are they still missing? Joe, specifically ..

[Alex happens to be up on those wall walks later in the afternoon; a werecat that enjoys heights. Who'd'a thunk it, right? There is just the faintest of breezes in the air, but on the wind is something else and his nostrils flare widely.

His blue-grey eyes scan the horizon and narrow slightly at the darkening clouds that seem to roll in from the north, growing larger and taking up more of the blue sky almost as he watches.

He's got his journal on him, as always, and though he's a mind to just accept it as an everyday storm ..]

I don't know if anyone's noticed .. but it looks like a storm's rolling in. With how other things seem to work around here you might want to be cautious.

[It's been twelve hours of slipping in and out of consciousness, his back alternating between numb and burning at regular intervals. He's blacked out a few times, but the searing at his wrists and neck would bring him 'round rather quickly.

No matter how he moved he hurt and any shift brought agony searing through his back once again and broke open the scabbed wounds time and time again. There would be no real sleep while he remained in the stocks, and the delirium would kick in soon enough.

At least there was no infection for the time being. No, they'd made certain to sterilize his back after the lashings had ended with a wash of salt water. He'd thought it had already been as painful as it could have been, back hanging open in strips of massacred meat; but no, they'd found yet another way to bring pain and it had been excruciating.

Sollux had been freed a short while ago, but he still had a minimum of twelve hours to go; if they didn't choose to keep him here longer. He vaguely recalled several coming to see him, to offer him care, but it was foggy and distant. He couldn't even remember if he'd eaten or had anything to drink of late ..

His knees have been locked for hours and it's with an abrupt cry of pain that they finally give out and he falls to his knees, pulling and twisting his back in a manner that blacks him out for a span of a few minutes. When he comes to, dry heaving and sobbing, he doesn't have the strength to get back to his feet again and just kneels there. His skin crawls as flies appear and walk over the torn flesh of his back, buzzing around his neck and wrists and his blood soaked hair and clothes, but he's unable to do anything about them.

All he can do is wait ..]

((OOC: Feel free to bother Alex at your leisure in any way you'd like!! Food, healing, torment .. poking his wounds .. whatevs! :D))

[Alex's image pops up onto the screen, looking bright eyed and rather bushy tailed, his hair pulled back into a rough pony-tail.]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen and everyone else in between. To those I've already met - 'hi' [He waves pleasantly.] and to those I haven't met yet .. I'm Alex. I'm from California, which is on Earth .. my version of Earth anyway .. and the year was 2011 when I was brought here.

Now that the whole spider thing is behind us I feel like I can do this without having anyone looking at me like I've lost my mind, I'm going to.

I've been working with Joe in the kitchens and by myself over in the clothier .. and well .. I'm bored, at least in the clothier. Not too much is coming in to be repaired and I really love sewing.

[He gives a slight shrug, but is still smiling. Does this ~~girl~~ guy ever NOT smile?]

So, I guess what I need from y'all is maybe stuff you're missing? Or stuff you'd like .. I know this place is pretty old fashioned, clothing wise, but I love to sew and if there is cloth I can work, I'm willing to make anything you might be in need of.

Same goes with me being in the kitchens .. I've grown up cooking, so if there's something you miss from home, just lemme know, or swing by .. You can pretty much always find me around here somewhere.

Sooo .. yeah! Just lemme know!

[Alnd you can feel free to chat with Alex here or bump into him at the kitchens or the clothier.]
