Who: Laurie and OTA
Where: The library
When: Monday afternoon, June 21
What: Arts and crafts time after training... since Laurie assumes no one ever goes to the library and even if they do, no one really talks much...
Laurie Collins was worried about training. And by worried, one meant that she was still debating the pros and cons of throwing herself down a flight of stairs so she didn't have to show up, and the pros greatly outnumbered the cons. She hadn't even been training for a week yet, but she had hoped to have some control once she started. And there was still none.
Which she knew none of her teammates were too thrilled about. Or at least, she assumed they weren't. After all, she may have tried hard to control her emotions, but the moment she got scared- which happened in training often- she knew the nearest person was probably hating her as they started to tremble in fear as well. So, as a result, she showed up just before it started and ran off as soon as training finished, trying to avoid being around them as much as possible.
Today, she ran off the library, and was hidden away in the back, on the floor with numerous different colored threads spread around her. Fingers working quickly, Laurie was tying together a series of threads as she created one of the bracelets she was experienced in making. It was a very calming activity, and today's training had been especially stressful on Laurie, as she had been yelled at a couple more times than normal. A couple hours of bracelet making- along with some music thanks to her headphones, laptop, and Pandora- had yielded a much calmer Laurie and a few bracelets, one of which would be given to Hope and the others which she would store away until she met someone she wanted to give one to.
Assuming no one would try to talk to her- she was in a library, right?- Laurie kept her focus down and was oblivious to anyone that happened to walk into the nearly empty library.
