As the tall, blonde woman passed by the door portal and entered the unknown chamber, her blue eyes slowly scanned the bedroom. She seemed lost, to say the least. Confusion was evident in her expression and her physical reactions seemed to come with some delay to respond to any stimulation. Her head whipped toward the sound where the stranger’s voice came from, her body spinning with it to turn and face the unbeknown patient.
“Oh… Sh - fuck. Sorry, thought I was getting in the right room… Except these doors all look the same and they keep changing the names hanging on ‘em, don’t they? Guess this ain’t my room - well, obviously it ain’t my room.” Her hand met her forehead as she rolled back her eyes and scoffed at the clearness of her statement. She was rambling. Isabelle was a rambler. She would often digress out loud about things in an attempt to lighten the often heavy atmosphere in the asylum. But on that particular day, they were caused by a stronger dose of antidepressants and tranquilizers. The last events in the blonde’s life led the medical staff to keep a closer look at her, as well as do anything they could to quiet the patient down - whom they judged to be a threat to no one but herself.
Stumbling further into the room, she had a scowl on her face, caused by the strangeness of the bedroom. Isabelle was still trying to reassure herself that was, indeed, somebody else’s dormitory and not her own. As her eyes passed by the brunette, a sudden smile sprung on her lips and she stretched out her hand out of the blue, voice as light and blissful as a spring morning. “I’m Belle!”
Were other patients allowed to just walk into one another’s room? Wasn’t that dangerous, depending on each person’s mental illness? Shaula could only assume that the ones dangerous were kept seperately, in order to provide safety. Or, not --- ? Honestly, she had no idea how that Madhouse functioned & she had no intention of staying long enough to find out.She did not belong in an Asylum; she was not mad, just lonely & sometimes a little depressed. Or so she told herself.
There had to be a real reason she was sent there ---
The woman who had entered the room was most deffinitely not her roommate. The therapist who had brought her there had told her she would be staying alone for the time being. Well, thank the heavens... She wouldn’t want to be stuck in the same room with a complete stranger.
She hesitatingly reached out, sharing a quick handshake with her new acquaintance; hazel eyes lingering on her. Shaula wondered what her reason was for being in here, but she knew it would be most rude to ask.
