[Silent Darrow, Day 1]

A general uneasiness accompanies Oliver's every step as they leave the apartment. He's pulling Felicity out of a safe place and into the unknown, but Oliver needs to find Thea, and he can't bear to leave Felicity alone when he has no idea what's going on. His usual instinct to protect them is much stronger now, overriding any fear and confusion he has about what's going on around them.

The silence is the most disturbing part; there should be cars, people, birds, and a million other small sounds that make up the background the noise of a city, but none of it is there.

Darrow is silent, covered in ash, and confident as he is in his plans, Oliver can't shake the fear creeping up his spine.

[Treat this as a gathering post in a way, even though this is only for Thea and Porthos (and whomever may be with them, if that's the case). I'll have one top level for pre-sundown threads, then a second top level for the Arrow showing up.]

[Silent Darrow, Day 2]

It's been a few hours since dawn and since the confusion and horror of the night ended. (It had taken Oliver some time before being able to say it was over, at least for a little while.) Oliver had wanted to keep going, but even he couldn't deny that he needed to rest, needed a few hours of sleep and some time to decide if he was going to deal with what the hell happened overnight.

How does one deal with the ghosts of dead friends and a murderous doppelganger?

Ultimately, Oliver chooses not to answer. They'll rest. They'll try to see if anyone else is out there. And maybe, somewhere along the way, they'll figure out what's going on and how to get home, if there's a way.
