RP: Where's Lizzy? Characters: Ariana, Lee Time/Date: late morning, October 9 Location: Lobby, registry Warnings/Rating: None Summary: Ari searches for her friends Status: Complete
Ariana had developed something of a pattern over the past month or so. She'd wake up and shower, and then she'd read a bit in the magic books. It was hard work and slow going, but she thought she was learning a lot. She wasn't quite ready to start in on actual practice (though she didn't think she would ever feel ready; maybe if Severus or Magius approached her, she'd be convinced to try ... but she'd developed a case of shyness in regard to approaching them), but she was getting a good feel for theory.
After her morning reading, she'd go down to Lizzy's room to see what she and Ches wanted to do for the day. Sometimes they walked around outside. Sometimes they raided the stores for fun. Sometimes they went to the mall, or played games in the rec room. Sometimes they didn't do much of anything and Ari just listened to Lizzy talk.
This morning, however, Lizzy wasn't in her room. Ariana knocked on the door and called her name and fretted a little ... but Lizzy wasn't in. There was no nameplate on the door, either. So what did that mean? Ariana knew that sometimes people went away. There'd been one time that someone had changed rooms. Maybe that was what had happened?
Ari turned away and headed for the stairs. She trotted down them to the lobby, heading for the directory. Opening it to the first page, she started to look through it slowly, sounding out each name she came across in the hopes she'd find Lizzy or Ches -- or both -- in the big book somewhere.
