Now that Jean is dating Evelyn, they have a passionate sexual relationship. Something nobody needs to be directly told, as everyone can hear it... It is now February 7th. "Hey boopersnootch, it Valenine's day soon, is there anything special you want to do?" Asks Evelyn, curious and excited at what Jean answers. "You know what? I think a little stroll in the contained outside and a hand made gift." Evelyn lights up at the idea. "Oooh~ That sounds lovely~!" Jean ponders for a moment, almost getting caught in her own mind for a moment. "You know what, I'll see if I can give a gift to all the others, too. Life's no fun when there's nobody around to view or congratulate your achievements.." As those words flow out of Jean, they linger in both hers and Evelyn's minds. "So, what are you gonna try to do?" Evelyn ponders. "I'm going to see if the contained outside can be something everyone's allowed access to, just for that day." Jean had always been the caring sort even when she wasn't welcome.

The days pass, Jean somehow manages to get the whole area cleared for everyone. She personally goes and tells the other test subjects. "Knock-knock, Austin." He answers as his defined features and spiky Afro fill the door with his muscular body. "What do you want?" Jean smiles. "Well, you!" Austin practically growls back. "Again?! Guahh! God damn it woman, we already tried this!" He slams the door in Jean's face. "I mean the contained outside! I've got it cleared for the 14th! For everyone...!" Austin opens the door back up. "Why the fuck would I want to know about that?" Jean takes a deep breath. "Because it's something else to do besides the VR or training your PK." He doesn't look none too pleased. "What, so we can all watch you and her strut around? I'm not a charity case, bitch." This time, Austin gently closes the door, it somehow conveys that he's hurt emotionally. Bruised pride...

Jean tries walking to Marion & Garrett's rooms to tell them, but they're standing at the bottom of the place. "You heard that, didn't you." They both answer "Yeah, we're not coming." An air difference feels like it suddenly happens, around the two though, their answers change. "Actually, I'd love to come to the contained area thing!" Say both of them with slight variation on their own vocabulary. But, it's still odd. "Uh, ok then. Imma go now. See you there I guess?" The two then seem hardly conscious as Jean exits the place. Then she hears something really unnatural: Austin leaves his room and saying "I've changed my mind too." Given this paranormal behaviour Jean puts her barrier up all around herself and speed-walks out of there. Though, the cost of this is looking so white, Jean looks like she's got a white glow.

She makes it to the now cleared outside section. Evelyn's there, sitting by the entrance, still wiping the snow off of her shoulders and head. "Hey, Eve!" She jumps out of her skin, like she just caught doing something... "J-jean, hey! Sorry, I just went out to see out there." She points to the contained outside. Why would she jump that high though? "Uh-huh, why're you so jumpy though? I've seen olympic pole vault athletes, clear less distance. You ok?" She looks around the room first, before speaking. Big red flag. "Look, I found out a really easy way for all of us to get out of here." Her tone is quiet, lower to the floor slightly and backed by the sound of winds howling. "What-- You're serious? All I got you for Valentine's day is this!" Jean hands over her drawn gift. <The image at the top> She then gives Jean, her own drawing:
