01: The petite looking girl sat dejectedly on the rotten tree stump. It's mottled brown base and starkly accented the lightness of her pale blue shirt and white jeans. The girl, who's name was Alice, sighed dramatically. She'd been dared to enter the forest on her own, as it was said to be wild and haunted. It just turned out to be boring and a bit spooky, and she hadn't seen hide or tail of any 'creatures' that were said to populate the forest at night. She'd snuck out, of course. A 17 year old girl isn't normally allowed to go out at 12:00 in the night. She shivered in the night air, her curly blond hair bouncing slightly as she leaned back, hoping it would be light out sooner than later.
02: A well meant curse word echoed in the silence of the empty change room. Lily, after a hard day's soccer practice, had been left to lock up everything. It was already turning dark; and she was exhausted. She dropped her gym bag on the floor with a slight 'thump' and sighed, running her hand through her stubbornly straight red hair. Screw it, she thought. I'm not going to change. It's too late for anyone to care anyways. She picked up her gym bag, signed the gym dossier and walked out into the cold night air, shivering in her gym shorts and tank top. This'll be fun to walk home like this....
03: Gabrielle was situated at the end of the train, at the end of the last car. Her forlorn face continued to look out the window. The car wasn't very full-nobody really wanted to be in the last car. Only a few people randomly occupied some of the seats. Her long blond hair was hidden under a floppy hat, and she pulled her pale scarf tighter around her neck. Probably not the best idea to wear a white summer dress in winter. Oh, well.
The silence in the train was unbearable, and Gabrielle kept to herself.
04: Amy sang a lilted song under the spruge tree, her guitar accenting her light song. This part of the beach was empty, and nobody really came there because the tide tended to go too close to the shoreline. Her short white skirt peeked out from her guitar, and her thin tank top was perfect for the hot weather. She'd just been dumped b her boyfriend; and singing seemed to help, if only a bit. It was nearing sunset, and she continued on playing.
Ailsa had been wondering for a long time. She had traveled down many different paths, heading from one part of Gaia to the next. Finally though her travels took her to a new place. She paused outside of the door, her eyes glancing over the door for a few moments before she took a breath. Did she belong here? Did she belong anywhere? She looked over at the flowers and then at the door. Maybe she could learn new things here that she hadn't learned at that Black Cherry Place. Closing her eyes for a moment she took a deep breath and then went inside.
It was nice inside. There weren't a lot of people in just yet either. Just a young man with antlers. She tilted her head over so slightly, her hair spilling over one side of her face. She was young looking, that much everyone could tell, with soft colored skin and bright molten gold colored eyes. She wore a simple long sleeved black shirt and black jeans, heavy boots on her feet. She carried a green duffel bag, no doubt her possessions were in there. She looked around and nodded to the young man with the boxes.
"Hello."
