Art was always the best therapy for them. The news was distressing, to say the least; Soleil had always looked up to Dr. Gilchrist, listened to his advice -- who would want to murder an old man? Their thoughts were speeding through their head like a bullet train. That’s why they chose to distract themself in the garden, a canvas set up, blue and pink paints on a palette to work from. 

They didn’t exactly take comfort in their solitude, but they knew that everyone was coping differently; it wasn’t their place to intrude on others’ mourning processes. That’s why they were practically in their own world, unsure of how much time had passed since they set up the canvas, until someone’s voice pulled them out of their focus.

“I’m sorry - could you repeat that?” They wouldn’t admit that they were grateful for the distraction, but it was nice to have someone to talk to, even if it was a mundane conversation.

open  starter  ft.  haesoo  caldwell  ;  location  ,  the  party  room  .

these lights are brighter than she remembered , it’s all she thinks upon entering the party room. she’s full from dinner , satisfied but ready for sleep. and to get out of the heels she wore , paired with wide dress pants and a favorite cardigan . curiosity’s always gotten the best of haesoo , however ; and so she commences into the party room with the others. she’s underwhelmed so far , really. “i never met the guy. just his father,” she says to the nearest gravediggers alumni. someone here’s bound to have seen him in the flesh. most of the crowd seems young enough , anyways. “what’s your theory? where the hell is he ?”

“ you would think they were forced to come here, ” she remarks, tilting her glass of cabernet sauvignon towards her lips as she follows the tense lines of people’s shoulders, the gazes cast askance. they probably were; it’s so easy to retrieve message correspondences, encrypted or otherwise, though she doesn’t say it out loud. anyway, seraphina doesn’t have any incentive to do any digging, not yet, not when there’s no real benefit to having them. perhaps it’s also because their alumni relations leaves a lot to want, but seraphina would think that their society has a more unified front. “ and so serious. i don’t recall frowning as one of our requirements going in. ”

Mattie’s eyes scanned the books on the wall slowly, fingers running along the old wooden shelves lightly. Many of the books were not of interest to them, but there was a few treasures amongst the rest. Rare books, old books, things that made their little literature major heart sing. “Oh, I forgot how many first editions they had here,” they said, mostly to themself. Reaching up, they pulled out a well worn book from the shelf. Focused as they were on the book, they turned without even noticing someone else in the room, and walked almost straight into them. “Oh, sh--. I’m so sorry.”
