Sure, that makes sense. We could have them run into some guards panicking in the corridor or something and decide to help - that way they're not getting randomly assigned guard duty just out of nowhere.
It's fine, again! I'm not gonna disappear on you, and if it comes to choosing between real life and RP then real life comes first. Don't stress out over it, okay? I'll probably post pretty soon :)
I figure they'd basically just be going straight to sleep once they got there anyway. I'd say skip to at least the next morning so that stuff's actually happening.
