He watches it for a moment, a fleeting sense of вЂњjust in caseвЂќ lingering in his mind, but nothing changes, so he pockets it again and wonders what he can even do right now on such a sleepless night. ThatвЂ™s what he gets for keeping bad habits though- heвЂ™s only met with disappointment when he does look, the communicator glitching out and looking as dead as Tommy feels. ItвЂ™s not like anybody would want to talk to him anyway, and heвЂ™d never admit this (certainly not to Dream, itвЂ™s too pathetic and Dream would admonish him for doing something he knows he shouldnвЂ™t) but sometimes he checks it anyway, because people will post things for the world to see and for a minute Tommy can pretend like heвЂ™s a part of it. He hesitates before checking his communicator.

HeвЂ™s not really sure if heвЂ™s at morning or midnight himself, lately. ItвЂ™s a little hard to tell right now- the sky is a deep, eerie blue, like it canвЂ™t decide whether itвЂ™s morning or midnight, and he feels a twinge of sympathy for it. The cold, hard wood beneath his tent has never been inviting, so he gets up, even though heвЂ™s still pretty sure itвЂ™s the middle of the night. The rainbow and Noor's scars are the only things colored in all the drawings. He's wearing jeans and a turtleneck with a lopsided rainbow, some hearts, and an enscription in all caps reading 'BE SAFE'. Noor has a pair of sunglasses atop his head. He has burns on his cheeks and around his eyes.

I really shittily scribbled Noor's burn scars with a red-purple felt-tip. Kenson's wearing his hair down in this image, and he has a long, open coat, some necklaces and rings, a plain shirt, jeans, and some keychains around his belt loops. The image shows a bit below theur waists and up Noor is holding Kenson's arm above his elbow so that Kenson can guide him. [Second image: A sketchy drawing of Kenson and Noor walking together, both smiling serenely. Kenson has curly hair in a high ponytail.] Both are wearing gloves abd lab-safety goggles. The second drawing shows Kenson carefully dripping a chemical into a beaker, and Noor behind him carelessly sniffing a test tube. The visible eye is unfocused and has a misshapen pupil. He's also wearing one-eye spectacles with a magnifying lense obscuring one eye. He has a choppy haircut that comes below chin-length most of the way around and is wearing a turtleneck. The first shows Noor mimicking the 'ALIENS' meme, but instead it says 'VAMPIRES'. Here are the primary scientists: Noor, who learned the hard way not to skimp on PPE, and Kenson, who's actually a medical illustrator and not qualified to be mixing chemicals in their garage. There are three main groups in this story: the scientists, the hunters, and the vampires.
