LOCATION: Music Room DATE: Sunday, September 24, 2005 (Evening, Post-Wake) Closed starter for @naomikojima
Natalia let out a sigh as she entered the cool, dimly lit wine cellar on the basement floor. The wake had drained her, but the idea of sleep felt... distant. She selected a bottle of rosé, its pale pink hue a welcome sight after all of the glasses of water and sparkling cider she's had today.
With the bottle in hand, she made her way out of the cellar with the intention of making a stop at the kitchen for a bucket of ice. Though on her way out of the basement, she passed the music room and the soft glow of a single lamp caught her eye. Peering inside, she saw Naomi — alone, seemingly lost in thought.
"Hey," she greeted softly. "Not in the mood for bed yet?"
One would think that after the day they’d all had, sleep would be the first thing on their minds. But instead, it seemed everyone preferred to wander... and drink. She stepped inside the Music Room, taking in the array of instruments and the shelves lined with collections of sheet music. She must have been a teenager the last time she was in this room.
"Could I convince you to have a drink with me?" Natalia asked after a moment, lifting the bottle slightly as a tired smile tugged at her lips. She knew Naomi wasn't the most social person but it wasn't like Natalia was planning to talk her ear off. To sit beside someone in silence while she made a dent in this bottle would be more than enough.
