It had seemed, for the most part, any usual morning, just slightly...off. For all intents and purposes, slightly...off was spot on for Adah, usually, but this was like off in the opposite direction. It was noticed as nothing more than a buzz in her head when she woke up. Then, there was her shower, where she could swear the water fell and ( Read more... )

That mirror, which usually rarely got a second glance from either of the girls living in room 218, was certainly getting a lot of use in the past twenty four hours. Adah stood in front of it again, although, this time, the clothing she was bothering to glimpse was much more demure. Sent in from Orleanna, based on the pattern that was supposed to ( Read more... )

While Adah had a deep appreciation for the name, Adah (once she'd figured out how to get the phone to stop beeping at her and just give her the damn thing) contemplated on Thursday's message about it being her last day, and decided against making the trek. Even if she did sort of feel she should just because it was her usual day at the library, ( Read more... )

Adah did not, as a rule and for the pure sake of convenience, have a lot of things. However, packing, even if just for a trip home for approximately a week, was sort of an all day thing for her. More books than clothes ended up being packed into her tiny, manageable suitcase, sitting open on her bed and waiting patiently as Adah limped back and ( Read more... )

It hadn't been long since Adah limped back up to her room from class and grabbing something to eat, but she had still gotten a lot of work done. What that work looked like to probably anyone else might be a bit of a mess, but it was organized chaos. The books in their scattered piles were at least settled in balanced pyramids and the scattering ( Read more... )

Adah Price had awoken that cloudy November morning with a mission that allowed her to take care of the usual morning duties at a quicker pace than normal, finally limping back into the room with a mug of tea that she took a long, linger sip out of before setting it down on the desk, knowing full well she would probably end up forgetting about it. ( Read more... )

Adah, with careful steps and concentration and a lot of dependency on walls and railings, had managed her limp from the clinic to the dorms. Of course she had refused assistance. Of course, she'd forgotten mostly everything about where she was except that she was there, so she'd gotten lost more than a few times. She remembered stairs and her ( Read more... )

Adah's morning had been a slow one, as most of her morning were wont to be; placidly, she went about an idle task there, an idle task here, almost intentionally being up and about the room just to feel the pain racing through her dead right side. She knew that if she laid down, she would become complacent in her spot and not want to get up again, ( Read more... )

Adah had taken her time, as usual, after math class, to get back to her room; she idly had considered the fact that there was an assembly, and was on route there, to find a good place and sit and watch and judge her fellow peers, when something more interesting crossed into her field of interest to watch instead. Very, very tiny men, or what could ( Read more... )

At one point in her life, many points, like points of stars, srats of stniop, Adah used to draw. There weren't anything much, mirror images of things she saw, but they were through an Adah mirror, so they weren't exactly what everyone else saw. She was starting to feel like maybe she should start that again. She certainly had a few things that ( Read more... )
