The Dorm Stairwell, Sunday Night
The stairwell was not usually a place Alluka liked to linger, since it wasn't pretty, or fun, or colourful. In fact, the stairwell was pretty boring.
Which had led to a conversation with her toys, when Mr. Bubbles had mentioned wanting to go somewhere outside of their room, and then her bunny had pitched a fit about how it was too dark to go outside, and most of her toys from home had backed her bunny since none of them were used to leaving their room anyway.
Mr. Bubbles had been near tears when her dinosaur had piped up with the fact that, even though the stairwell was boring, there was nothing that said they couldn't make it less boring.
So that was how Alluka, and a pile of her toys, and another pile of crayons and markers and pencils had wound up in the stairwell. She also had a blanket and snacks, because going anywhere without those seemed silly.
She drew a yellow circle on the wall in marker and held up her elephant. "What do you think?" she asked. "Should it be a sun or should it be a smiley face?"
