Lizzie slipped out of Cassandra's room first, her hair still messy, a satisfied grin plastered across her face as she skipped down the hallway, not bothering to hide where she'd been.
Two minutes later, Kurt cracked the door open, peeked both ways down the corridor, and stepped out.
He straightened his coat, running a hand through his disheveled hair, and reached into his pocket for his cigarettes.
Just when he was about to pull one out, a notification chimed in his vision, bright blue text reminding him that a day had gone by. One whole day without rest, dedicated to prepping.
[EMERGENCY QUEST COMPLETE: Survive Reaper Encounter for 24 Hours]
[Reward: +25 Points]
[Available Points: 70]
Kurt stared at the notification for a moment, then dismissed it with a thought. Seventy points. That was more than he'd ever had at once, and if there was ever a time to spend them, it was now.
"Right then," he muttered. "Best time as any."
