Sunday, November 25th, 1866
It's only the fifth night since Ollie arrived, and he's only just started to find himself at the orphanage. He's still prone to some amount of crying at the loss of his family, but it's only from time to time. Most of the day he's happy, and the physical nature of his work seems to suit him.
The night times are a different story, however. From the first night, everyone who doesn't sleep like the dead probably wakes up occasionally with the sound of tossing and turning, and occasionally some whimpering from the direction of Ollie's bed. It isn't enough to keep anyone but the lightest of sleepers awake; it's probably somewhere on the spectrum from annoying to off-putting for the rest.
The night of the 25th it gets worse. In the dead of night, Ollie's normal whimpering escalates suddenly into a panicked cry, and it sounds as if there is a fight to the death happening in Ollie's bed, and then he screams in anguish.
<#ann: Celeste jumps out of bed, frightened, and looks towards Jeanne to see how she's responding to her brother. #>
<#bill: Cole is not a great sleeper himself, so he probably notices...but he's probably wait to see first what Jeanne does....does she wake up on the first few nights? Do anything about it? #>
<#court: Jeanne leaps out of bed in a panic and flies to Ollie's side. She takes him by both shoulders and repeats his name, "Ollie... Ollie..." waiting for him to respond and sounding scared. #>
NeedsCourt - You guys all have beds adjacent to Ollie's. Stopping time in this event for a moment to give folks a chance to chime in with their reactions.
