citylogs | [closed] catch-all log for December

[ After speaking with Ethan and, through association, a resident doctor, Hob feels better knowing that the werewolf is no longer a threat to others for now and there is someone who is checking in on those who were attacked. Insisting that Daan see to others first is probably not going to amount to much, and Hob is just grateful for the help.

Since he's still recovering quite a bit, he isn't going out anytime soon, so he'll be home whenever the doctor decides to check in on him.

And when that time comes and Hob hears a knock at the door, he gets out of bed to answer, dressed in a simple t-shirt and some sweatpants for comfort. Although he's moving slowly due to his injury and still appears rather pale, the doctor is greeted with a smile. ]

Hello, doctor. Thank you for coming.

Given the amount of blood he lost after the werewolf attack (much of which was your own fault, Hob), Hob has been spending a lot of time resting at home. He sleeps many hours during the day, but is able to at least contact Loki and contact some other people between bouts of fatigue that overtake him. When he wakes, he tries to eat to get his strength back. Having Dream around to watch over him is helpful, too.

However, after shouting over his device at Johanna before she (rightfully) hangs up on him, Hob finds himself tired and excessively moody. He'd go for a long walk if he could, but he can't even get out of bed to deal with his aggitation. Although he doesn't want Loki to worry, Hob eventually gives in and sends the Asgardian a text:

I need you. Please come?

Once it's sent, Hob decides he should try to rest before Loki's arrival, except he drifts off to sleep again, for a time. It's a good thing he has a roommate to answer the door.

[ There have been some nights in the past, here in the city, where Hob had a hard time falling asleep. He'd wonder about the state of this place, the people here, and their purpose. Big questions keep him up at night. Since he was injured by a werewolf, though? Hob has slept plenty. It's necessary to get his strength back, to heal his wounds, and to regain all the blood he lost. He can't stay in bed all the time, though, so when he wakes up feeling a bit hungry, he slowly gets out of bed, puts on some slippers, and quietly opens his bedroom door to shuffle on out, wearing a plain white t-shirt and some sweat pants.

Is Dream here or has he gone out to search for Vanessa? Hob can't help but wonder if she and Mr. Gray have been found or if any others happened to be injured during Ethan's night out. ]

[ After a few days, Hob is slowly on the mend from the werewolf attack. He's managed to be awake more hours of the day and even move around a little. The visit from the doctor left him with some better medicine to care for his wounds, but he knows he shouldn't push too hard just yet.

Still, it's hard to stay in his room all the time, so he wandered into the living room/kitchen area. With no immediate sign of Dream, Hob figures his friend must have gone out to continue the search efforts for Vanessa. That's fine. Hob can make his own soup, this time. After heating up the canned meal, he sits at the kitchen counter and takes his time eating. He's going to need to do all he can to get his strength back. The sooner he's well, the sooner people stop worrying. ]

[After chatting with Daniel at the cafe, a couple of weeks go by before Hob finds a good time to reach out to Daniel for that drink he was promised. It won't be long before new people begin showing up to the city and the cafe gets busy again, so now is the best time to unwind, Hob thinks, and then the place will get busy again.

He finds a decent bar in the city and sends Daniel the address, asking him to meet there one evening. Hob is at the bar, seated and waiting for Daniel's arrival. ]

[ Hob isn't sure what plans Dream might have for the holiday, but if he's not around or out soon to visit Vanessa, Hob won't blame him. In the morning, Hob is up and making some breakfast. Enough for two, should Dream want to join him.

As for Hob, it's been a month since the werewolf incident and he's mended well. He's gotten most of his energy back, but he still shouldn't overexert himself. Hob just counts himself lucky that the injury didn't go deeper than it could have. ]

[ Since the attack, things have started to settle down. There was some worry for awhile with Vanessa's disappearance, but she was found and has returned home. No doubt she'll want to connect with all of her friends and let them know she's okay.

Hob still requires some rest, but he's awake more hours of the day now and is moving around the flat as much as possible to get his strength back. There's supposed to be a party in a few days, and he knows Loki must be looking forward to it. Hob wants to be well enough to attend and get in at least a dance or two.

When there's a knock at the door, he goes to answer and smiles at the sight of Ethan standing there. The man did say he wanted to visit, and Hob was wondering if he actually would. ]

Ethan, hello. Come in.

[ Hob will step aside to allow the visitor inside. ]
