WARNING: Some descriptions of pain, not graphic at all and very short, swearing (one word LMAO well now two kind of)
5:03 AM.
Monday morning.
The sun shined through the window, hitting Luz's eyes. However, it isnt the sun that woke Luz up, It was the strange pain all over her body that felt like a million needles all poking her at once. She groaned and half-opened her eyes, jolting up when the intensity of the pain increased. "Ugh.. what time is it?" She got up, assuming that she was imagining things and that it would go away soon, and walked through the hallway to see if Eda or King was awake, passing by a mirror.

....

"WHAT?!" She exclaimed as she looked at her reflection. Glyph symbols were marked all over her skin, and her pupils had changed shape into symbols as well.
"What is this? What's going on? Why do I look like this?" She walked around as panic set in. "How will everyone react to this?" She stayed quiet for a minute.
Then, Luz noticed some of Eda's makeup near the mirror. She remembered Eda had told her that she had bought the wrong color, and luckily, Luz was a match, sort of. It was a subtle difference. But she knew what she needed to do- Or what she THOUGHT she needed to do.

5:25 AM.
Still Monday morning.
Luz grabbed an emergency pile of snails she had saved up and quickly ran out, stashing them in her bag.

5:55 AM.
Obviously it's still Monday morning.
Luz is at Bonesborough making a purchase. An important purchase.

6:25 AM.
Still Monday morning. Duh. Why am I even adding these in anymore?
Luz is back home. Hooty greeted her. She thought nobody would hear.

6:27 AM.
Monday morning. Like it has been.
Luz is in her room, She hears the shuffling of someone. Oh shit.

6:30 AM.
Obviously Monday morning. Still. Why are these even here help
Eda and King are awake.

6:32 AM.
monday morning.
Luz looks in a mirror. She looks fine, she thinks. The contacts she bought dont look too out of place. It would have been harder to find perfect ones anyways.

6:35 AM.
The door opens.
"Hey kid, are you awake?" Eda asks, looking around. "Eda! I just woke up. Isn't it a bit early?" Luz smiled. The pain that was previously making it hard for her to run all the way to Bonesborough and back was finally gone. "Eh, I think Hooty was talking to himself again. I need my beauty sleep but, what else can we do?" Luz nodded. "except bake the bird into a pie at last..." Eda muttered. "I'm gonna go get breakfast." (eda) "Alright! I'm coming down!"(luz)

6:45 AM.
Breakfast is ready. King yawns. "Hooty, why'd you wake us up? A tyrant like myself needs to be well rested to rule!" He complains. "I was just- uh.. cant remember! Was probably talking to a bug!"(hooty) "Jeez, so that was for nothing? You need to learn not to TALK SO LOUD when people are asleep, birdbrain." (eda) "Haha! Yep! I'm a bird! No brain though! Just a bird!" (hooty)

6:48 AM.
IVE GIVEN UP ITS STILL MONDAY MORNING
"Hooty's acting weird, isnt he?" King remarked. "Eh, thats Hooty for you. Always annoying, always confusing." Luz replied. Of course, its obvious Hooty was lying. Hooty is a bad liar. Luz was actually staring at him like she was wishing death upon him.

7:30 AM.
Luz is changed, just sitting there. She attempts to call somebody on Eda's crystal ball, but Willow, Gus, and Amity dont answer. Even HUNTER doesn't, and titan knows if he actually has the possibility to be asleep right now.

7:45 AM.
Luz gets up. "I'm heading to school! I'll see you guys later! Love ya!" She yells to the seemingly-empty house. "See ya Luz. I'm gonna go catch up on some sleep." Eda said while yawning. "Me too! A ruler needs his rest!" King exclaimed. "Oh, by the way, Eda, could I just hang out for a bit with uhm.. Willow, Gus, and Amity after school?" Luz yells while backing away. "Yeah yeah, sure. Just make sure to come home." Eda replies. "THANKS!! SEE YOU!!"
