Lost and Found. (Complete-Closed)
Characters: Aerith, Nina
Setting: The Grand Room → Blue Kitchen
Time: Day 15
Summary: Aerith arrives; did they renovate the Ghost Hotel while she was sleeping?
Warnings: Nope, nothing.
Aerith opened her eyes to the walls of the Ghost Hotel, the sounds of dragging chains and howling coming from the speaker not-so-hidden in the closet. Despite this, she smiled warmly at the bats hanging above and sat up after a stretch. The 'date' with Cloud had been fun, though hardly all that serious. Oh, but Cait Sith... Her smile turned downward. She never thought he would be a traitor. Today they would have to settle with whatever Shin-Ra didn't get from the Temple. If they wanted a good start, they would have to leave early.
She looked over at her rooming partner, Yuffie, who was still sprawled out across her own bed, pillow covering her face and blankets in a mess. The flower girl laughed lightly and shook her head. She can sleep for a little longer, she thought to herself, then stood up and made her way to the bathroom. After a shower, Aerith reemerged in her usual pink dress, the red jacket folded over her arm. By this time, Yuffie was already up and gone - probably downstairs with everybody else.
Worried that she was keeping the rest of AVALANCHE waiting, Aerith hurriedly put on her boots and slipped the bolero on. After adjusting her armor and Aurora Rod with materia - she wasn't going to sit by and wait after all - Aerith rushed out the door and to the stairs. She must have missed a step, or the carpet bubbled, but before she knew it she had slipped. Green eyes squeezed shut as she cried out, waiting for a painful tumble.
Nothing.
When she opened her eyes again it was dark, fuzzy after a blink or two, then unfamiliar. Had it been a dream? Was she still in bed? Aerith sat up from the floor and glanced around. No, this wasn't the hotel. This wasn't even the Gold Saucer. "... Where am I?"
