[i]Oh God! It's gonna get me! IT'S GONNA GET ME! Someone help! Monster! Monster! Monster![/i] [color=B22222]"Gah!"[/color] Ryan awoke with a start. [i]What a horrible nightmare. I wonder what caused it.[/i] He got up from the couch, wrapping the blanket that Acacia had given him last night around his shoulders. He walked into the bathroom and took care of some... business, before walking back into the living room and sitting down onto the couch. Ryan let out a bored sigh as he sat in silence. [i]Not much to around here is there? I wish this frickin' TV worked.[/i]

After several more minutes of boring silence went by, Ryan finally decided to do something about it. Standing up again, this time leaving the blanket behind, he made his way to the ladder that led up to the attic that had become Acacia's makeshift bedroom. He peeked over the floor, making sure he wasn't about to walk in on her changing or something, before finally stepping onto the attic floor. Looking around the room, he noticed several articles of clothing still scattered on the floor. [i]Shit! I never cleaned that up. I'll do that right now.[/i] As quickly and quietly as possible as he could, Ryan gathered all of Acacia's clothes and put them back in the most appropriate looking drawers, as neat as possible. [i]Okay, now that that's done with, I'm just going to check on Ace.[/i] Approaching the bed, Ryan looked at Acacia's face to see if she had woken up yet. When he saw that she hadn't, Ryan began to reach forward to wake her before stopping himself. [i]Should I wake her? I know I'm bored, but wouldn't it be impolite to to wake her?[/i]
