The Winter that appears when the camera clicks on... looks like she's had better days. There are bags under her eyes, her hair's a mess, and she's vaguely twitchy. But she seems whole, at least. She's also in an unfamiliar room, for anyone that's been keeping score... and that's unusual in and of itself. She'd already showed what color her new walls were, and this isn't it.
"Hi, everyone... I wanted to say that if anyone was looking for us over the weekend, we decided to leave Locke City. I can't... there's no way I could stay in the city with everything that's going on. It feels like I'm r-running away, but I refuse to let my parents be in danger. Or the people I care about. I-" She cuts off, grimacing. She said she wouldn't do certain things anymore, and it's making her hold her tongue now.
"Anyway, Lily and I decided to come back here until things settle down in Locke. Jasmine and Marina are with us, too, and my parents. We left Thursday... and here we are. I'm tired from all the driving, but if anyone needs anything, let me know. And... if anyone wants to get together, let me know about that, too. I could use the time to unwind, or else I'm just going to crash. That won't end well for anyone." Least of all Lily, who will have to deal with her unease, but that's another matter. "That's all I wanted to say. Sorry for not letting anyone know earlier, I just... I didn't want to draw any attention away from the important things. I think that's everything, so... um. I hope things are going all right for everyone."
She reaches out a hand, and the feed clicks off.
Setting down her Kindle next to her, she lets out a sigh, collapsing back onto the soft-but-not-that-soft hotel bed. "Did we do the right thing? I feel like I left... everyone behind. That they're going to have to deal with things without us, because I couldn't deal with staying. It just... leaves a bad taste in my mouth." She turns onto her side toward Lily, sighing. "Our days can't ever be quiet and peaceful, can they? I don't mind what I am - it's helped me grow, and it's how I met you, too - but it's so... stressful, some days." She brings her hands in front of her, clasping them in front of her, rocking slightly as her legs dangle off the side of the bed.
"Unless you want to do something, I might take a nap. I'm exhausted... I don't really want to sleep after I spent a whole trip thinking about all that, but I don't know if I want to go out right now, either." She's in that awkward state where not much besides ice cream or books will make her move.
[[The girls left Thursday afternoon, without fanfare but with several conspicuous stops for luggage and passengers. Winter made a point of locking up the house behind her, and all the lights are off. They'll remain that way, barring anything unusual happening. Winter's parents are staying in a hotel room (an actual hotel, rather than one of the casinos) by themselves, with Winter and Lily in a second, and Jasmine and Marina in a third. She's not publically sharing the location of any of the rooms, for now at least. But she won't be hiding her presence in Vegas, either - and she will not return to Locke short of her friends or her house being in serious danger.]]

...Or maybe just an arcade we can waste the day at, or something. I'm certain there are things we can fill our time with. I've inadvertently got the semester off as well, after all.

Sheesh, this'll make some weird-o memoirs.

But I think you have some work in front of you, to beat some of my craziness. There's a picture on our wall, of Lily and I transformed into Precure, holding hands, and making a stupid pose like we're a real magical girl team. I challenge you to beat that. [She grins.] Then we can both be weird together.

I was kinda thinking ninja-y garb, actually. To conceal my identity and such.
