Jade sat in the large armchair seated by the fireplace, her legs curled up against her chest. The glow of the flames illuminated her pale skin, bringing out her eyes in an autumn glow. Turning the well worn page, she grasped the next sentence in a reading flurry, notebooks and text books scattered around her, tumbling off her lap and into the thick rug beneath her.

She seemed not to notice, focusing only on her chapter. This was the part where the romantic Mr. Darcy and the strong Elizabeth met at his house, where his sister was playing the piano. Elizabeth, who was watching the two through the small door crack, was caught and she fled.

Fear gripped her heart as she sped on, passing through each chapter with ease. Jade grew up in books. They were her friends, they were her companion. Even though her parents tried to get her away from the action filled pages, Jade would always turn to a good book in the end. It was her nature, and you wouldn't pass through the lounge once without seeing her already seated in her armchair, reading.

Daemon picked up his violin from the stand it was rested on, gently lifting it to his shoulder. Resting his neck in the small crook provided, he ran the bow over the strings with ease. The way he controlled the bow, willing it to flow over the taut strings like a river, made playing the violin look easy.

Gently, he began his song, the melody pouring out in a stream of notes, seeming to speak for itself, causing people outside his door to fall silent. A shadow passing by suddenly halted by his door, lingering outside for a while before moving on again.

Suddenly, he heard the singing of a harp nearby, snapping him out of his own trance and seeming to drag him into the annonymous musician's own work. Setting down his violin, he stepped over to the door, hesitating to open it.

Paige finished her hot cocoa finally and got up placing her empty mug on a rack marked 'dirty dishes'. Paige wasn't quite ready to head up to her room and there was nothing to do in the lobby and acompanied with the fact that it was still fairly light outside, or at least in her book, Paige went up to the front desk manager, "You guys have a snow boarding hill around here right?" she asked folding her arms over the desk and looking at the person behind it.

"Yes we do ma'm. It's just up the road a ways. Take the second right down the path and then you ought to see a place to rest a board and the ski lift is fairly obvious." Said the man. Paige noded and headed out the door but came back inside shortly after once she remebered her scarf was still on the couch she had been sitting on. She wrapped it around her neck before heading out again and following the desk managers direction.

Kasey left his cup at the table before sliding out of the booth and walking out of the cafe flipping the collor of his jacked up to protect him again the flurry of snowflakes wizzing around. He made his way into the lobby of the hotel where he found plenty of others lounging about either play instruments, reading, or what he was pretty sure was writing a song. He waved politly at the desk manager before sitting down in one of the chairs in front of the warm fire and warmed himself up from his briefe travel in the snow flurry.

Jade looked up at the people starting to pour in, a sigh escaping her. Now it'd be noisy, with all of their hubbub buzzing through her ears like a hive of angry bees. Tugging gently on the large sweater she wore,

Jade reached for her notebook, only to drop all of her contents in her bag.

Scrambling for her wallet, phone, and any other valuables, she tossed them in hurriedly, hoping no one was watching. Her cheeks burned bright red, embarrassed. Yeah, I'm definitively ready for some fresh air now. She thought to herself, picking up her belongings and briskly walking up to her room.

Daemon casually leaned over the railway of the top of the stairs, his hands dangling off the edge. People passed by, ignoring him like he was invisible, but that was fine. Walking down the steps, he stopped at the fireplace, noticing people were already there. 

Whatever. He thought, turning away. 

((Sorry. It's short. xDDD

Btw, if you guys look up Old Faithful Inn at Google Images, that's what I imagine the Seasons Inn place to be set out like. I stayed there and I LOVE it there. Very cozy, very nice. c; Except I imagine more snow and stuff around it, too, since it's winter and all. xD))

((I'm pretty sure everyone have made an intro so I guess now we make our charras interact with each other.))

((Sure think Rika.

Thats kind of why I said it was about time for some characters to get to know each other Moka XD))

Kasey dicided to sit down on the couch next to the guy writing music, "You like music I guess?" Kasey phrased his statement as more of a question as he looked at the guys paper. He might as well make some friends while he was here instead of mopping around the place and making himself with all the hot cocoa he was bound to drink during his stay. This guy seemed nice anough to start making friends with so why not.
