Current mood: | curious |
Who: Ashleigh
What: Research!
Where: Heading back to her apartment
When: Late afternoon/heading towards sunset.
Life had pretty much gone back to normal. Her every day drudge to work set her burning curiosity on the back burner, and there was not once a mention of vampires or werewolves in the week or so that had passed since that night. But, with every spare moment, Ashleigh couldn’t keep her mind from wandering to that night. Waking up in that bed and Wes telling her about the world that existed right underneath her nose. The things that had gone unnoticed from day to day made her head spin some nights. And she couldn’t help but wonder how many of them were out there? How many people did she run into on a daily basis that were part of this supernatural world that she had been blind to? It wasn’t like she could simply just ask someone, or shout it out on the middle of a busy street, questioning any and all who could hear her.
Aside from her abrupt turn back to normalcy, Ashleigh was taking control of the reigns in her own way. Today was her day off. But it wasn’t going to be the normal, relaxing sort of day where she spent her time lounging around her closet sized apartment, or finished up some left over laundry. No. Today was going to be her day of research. Maybe it was a bit weird, but she wanted to know everything she possibly could about the mysterious vampire. And short of showing up on his doorstep and attacking him with a barrage of questions, Ashleigh had no other way of contacting him (now, that might be a lie. If she could find that business card he had given to her… she was reasonably sure it was somewhere in the confines of her large purse). Regardless, despite the state of her curiosity, she wasn’t just going to show up and demand answers from him—it was a bit rude. Instead, she had her refuge. Her favorite used book shop, and the trusty library. Living in the city she didn’t have the means to simply buy all of her reading materials, let alone buy them new. Used books had a history, and she appreciated that. She wasn’t biased about a slightly cracked spine; they still held the same content after all.
After around four hours spent at the library, two more at the Shop around the Corner, Ashleigh’s arms were laden with books as the sun began to steadily lower itself, signaling to all that evening was fast approaching. It was funny how fast time could fly even though it seemed like no time at all. Let alone, how she had forgotten to stop for lunch in the middle of her educational mission. Hunger gnawed at her stomach as she made her way back to her apartment, an important decision hung on her mind. Chao’s take-out with their deliciously greasy dumplings or Seven Brothers. Conundrum.
(ooc if taggage, can be at her apartment or on the street. If her apartment can be after sun has gone down, depending on if its vamp-centric person and aversion to the sun. wo0t)
