Day: 26
Characters: OPEN TO ANYONE NOT AT THE BALL-SEE NOTE
Summary: That arm? Yup. Enough Said.
DAY/NIGHT & Time: Night/Throughout the Ball
Status: OPEN/INCOMPLETE
It scuttled across the floor as if it had a purpose.
What purpose a grown man’s chalk white arm could possibly have in the halls of Saint Edelweiss, no one could quite say. The only thing that was sure was that the pitter-pattering of long fingers across Edelweiss was nothing like that of little children. They tapped like someone beating out a quick melody along a table, their path wobbling only in as much as it was difficult to balance the weight of the rest of the arm, which alternated with struggling to stay up above the guiding hand, and dragging along the floor like so much dead weight.
A lack of eyes caused the arm to veer to the left and right ever so often, colliding with the wall. It stumbled back ever so slightly, fingers facing at the wall as if to glare. A moment would pass, and each finger would delicately shake itself out. The fingers lay flat for a moment, and the rest of the arm pushed up against the cold floor. The cracking of knuckles was louder than the skittering noises of the fingers, and for just a moment, it echoed in the not quite silent halls.
The hand reoriented itself, feeling its way around the wall with its elbow before sloppily returning to its scuttling.
A door was opened, and the arm quickly made its way inside.
It was so rare that anyone looked at their feet while closing doors.
