I am naked in the dark
Who: Frodo Baggins and OTA!
What: Trying to cope with malfunctioning feats.
When: Month of February
Where: Milton
Community Hall - early February
It is barely noticeable at first, though Frodo does notice it. After all, it isn't the first time he has felt it. The sun doesn't rise, and he wakes one morning and his body feels so heavy, too heavy, to move. Then, even as he is surrounded by people, he feels disconnected from them, and he realises his mind is eerily quiet.
For a moment, he feels a cold dread spread through him, with the thought that Sauron must finally have found him. Even though he has long since concluded the risk of that is next to nil.
When he checks the Ring and notices that it's no heavier, that it hasn't started tugging at him once again, he concludes it couldn't be Sauron. Which means it must be the Darkwalker. It is absurd that such a terrible thing could be a comfort, but in a strange way, it is.
Even though the Darkwalker promises an end to the world.
The sun doesn't rise, and so, after that scare, Frodo starts preparing what fresh food is left. Without sun, there is no telling what will happen to the animals and the plants around, and the warmth of the greenhouse may no longer be enough either. The first half of February, he can be found in the Community Hall most of the time, drying meat and vegetables. As the days pass, he seems more and more tired.
Milton - Middle of February
The Interlopers of Milton are managing to keep the rot at bay somewhat, but the forests around it are faring worse, of course. Frodo is returning from an attempt to check his traps, and he's carrying two of them, looking worse for wear as he trudges back into town.
If he sees someone else who doesn't look too busy or too deep in thought, he stops to ask:
"Have you seen any rabbits this month?"
Community Hall and Milton - Late February
Anyone who has spent any significant amount of time in the Community Hall would know that Frodo has lived there ever since he arrived, except for the times he went to the coast and the Timberwolf Mountain. Even outside of Methuselah's feast, he would ensure there was often soup simmering at the hearth and hot drinks available.
Now, however, he appears to be moving out. Over a few days, he moves between the Hall and a nearby house on Blackrock Road, carrying clothes and supplies he's gathered over the months, as well as rations of food. He's moving quickly, keeping his head down, and seems to be intentionally avoiding anyone nearby.
