Ariel had managed to find herself a reasonably priced room in a downtown apartment building rather quickly. She'd insisted on it, really, after spotting those vampire things outside her first night in L.A. She'd been renting a hotel room so far, but she just didn't feel safe there. It was dingy and pretty empty, save for maybe two or three rooms that were occupied that she knew of. How the place stayed in business, she didn't know, but she wasn't about to stick around to find out.
The apartment building was small and definitely not one of the greatest around, but it was somewhere to live, and it wasn't going to cost her a lot of money. She didn't have much to begin with, having brought all the money she had from back home and that was it. She needed to find a job, and that would come next.
As she was dragging her overstuffed suitcase up the stairs of the building, it snagged on a crack in the step and was pulled open. Clothes, papers, and everything else she had managed to shove inside went tumbling down the steps. With a groan of frustration, she set out to pick everything back up.
