River's days and her nights often blend together, having no real semblance of a schedule outside of what her strange habits afford her.
If she can help it, she watches the sunrise- she usually toddles into the apartment at four in the morning, maybe five, and she drinks tea and sits facing east. It doesn't matter if there's a building or a fence or whatever in the way. She finds a place that she can see the sun, faces, and watches as the sky fades from the darkest bits of the night until they give way to the pinks and oranges of a day being birthed. It wasn't so much birth, when she thinks about it, but rather some truth being shared with a new audience. A different side of the same entity.
She spent hours personifying the sun and the sky and the movement of celestial bodies. Loved them as inevitabilities.
Whatever the case, if she isn't exhausted this is how she coaxes the day into ending. Eventually comes inside and pulls whatever blackout device she has around over the window and pretends to sleep like a normal person does during normal people hours. Right now, she'd hammered a blanket up over the window and waiting for her next paycheck to get real curtains because she figures that she and Farrah are in here for the long haul, or long enough to at least give the overture that they weren't going to blow out of town once the seasons changed.
River woke up long enough to see the news on her phone, or at least catch a rebroadcast of it. There was a body found at Barr Lake State Park. The body was male, the age was indeterminate, and the police weren't announcing anything about the body save for the allusion to the fact that the body was in quite a state. River sighed, rolling out of bed with a very resigned plunk onto the floor.
After a shower and redressing for the affair, River Vasquez tossed her oversized purse over her shoulder. Yoga mat was stuffed in one end and clearly testing the limits of how much crap she could really fit in the bag. In dry erase marker, she scrawled a note on the bathroom mirror-
Doing yoga at Barr Lake State Park. Check the news & call me? <3 (sunshine)
- Armed with a pair of yoga pants and a gigantic purse, River headed to the park to do some detective work.
