Since the arrival of the other three members of their group, Adam had been scarce. He purposefully stayed at work at the garage extra late. The sickness had kind of made it an easy excuse for him to bow out of sleeping in the same bed as Ronan. His erratic presence at the apartment made it easy to avoid actually talking. On June 1st though, after hyposprays and everyone being magically healed, it was the first true test for him and Ronan and Adam failed.

Instead of going home, he stayed at the garage until he couldn't stand the same four walls anymore. Then he went out to the forests of Itinere where the ley lines were. He worked on repairing them for Ronan. At least he could do one thing right, one thing to help. Maybe Ronan would notice he had done this for him. Maybe he wouldn't.

Adam would stay out in the forests way past dark, taking his time, doing what he thought needed to be done. Then he would head back in town to walk through the park, sit on a merry-go-round and push at it with his feet to move it around. The metal squeaked and after a quick trip to the garage, he came back to dismantle and oil the merry-go-round to keep it from squeaking so loudly.

Probably another thing no one would notice. Productive, though. Adam Parrish felt productive and useful... busy, even now at some god awful time in the night or morning. And he supposed that was the point.

Greetings. I've only recently arrived and somewhat oriented myself (an insider's perspective would be better), and I believe I have stumbled upon quite the problem in this city.

I am not from a world where alternate universes exist, or at least, none that I know of. I'm from England and, last I checked, it was 2015 and the world had just been saved from certain destruction.

[ Naturally, she doesn't mention that it was special secret organization that put a stopper to the chaos. ]

I'm still not entirely sure what is happening here, but I do have some military training - [ And then some. ] and I would be happy to provide any help if needed.

I hope to see you in person. Thank you.
