"Oh dear." He said sadly. "Come on." He said, putting his arm around her shoulders and guiding her into the house.

Inside it was warm, the walls painted a bland white in this room but the living room and kitchen could be seen beyond and were of different colors. They stood there soaked, flooding the little door mat as Alik closed the door behind them.

Sierra tramped in, getting the carpet wet, and opened her mouth to speak, managing one word. "Bed." She said solemnly, frailly clinging to her bass.

"No, not yet."He said gently. "Sarina!" He called. A girl with violently pink hair and eyes popped her head out questioningly. "Could you go fetch some clothes and two towels for our friend and myself, please?" He asked. She nodded and appeared moments later with the requested items.

"Here." Alik said, giving her the towel and clothes. "Get yourself into these before Sarina shows you to your room."

Sierra groggily followed to Sarina to a place where she could change her clothes. She dried herself off with the towel and peeled off her wet clothes, changing into the dry ones provided.

Serina silently took her up to an unoccupied room. It was a light tan color with a twin mattress and matching tan sheets. It was sparsely populated with wooden furniture. Sarina motioned towards the bed.

Sierra nodded to her, pointing her to the door. When she left, she stripped off her fresh clothes and jumped happily onto the clean smooth sheets. She was out in minutes.

Sarina found Alik and made a head on hands gesture.
"She's asleep?" He asked. She nodded. "Thank you Sarina. You can go back to watching tv but its almost bedtime, okay?" He said, reclining in his chair and getting a book from his desk and started reading. When she saw that he wasnt looking she made a mocking face as she was backing up. "I can see you, young lady." Alik said sternly. Serina's eyes widened as she disappeared off to watch her program. Alik smiled.

OOC: time skip?

She was out for a good ten hours, and she awoke slowly, gracefully slipping out of rest and laying on the bed. She smiled and opened her eyes, the rain beating on her window. She slipped out of the bed and stretched to the chorus of the falling rain, yawning. A laugh escaped her lungs, it was so nice to have a good night's sleep. she looked around the bare room and put on her under clothes, and slipped on the sweat pants and baggy t-shirt the shelter gave her. Suddenly, she panicked. Where was her bass? She ran through the door looking for it.

Alik was sitting at the kitchen table, sipping some hot tea and reading the newspaper. It was a bit soppy, but it would do. He saw her run down. "Hey, look whose up!" He said before he saw the look on her face. "Whats wrong?" he asked.

UnStellar · « **Reply #59 on:** June 08, 2011, 02:01:22 AM »

"My bass! Where is it?" She asked, her eyes darting across the room, down the hall, trying to locate it.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #60 on:** June 08, 2011, 02:06:36 AM »

"Oooh" He said, comprehending her plight. "Its in here. It got pretty soaked last night and Cail is fixing it." He said, leading her to the living room.

The screens were closed and Serina was watching tv on the old couch as a young man about Sierra's age was sitting on the ground with the bass on his crossed legs. He was expertly plucking the various strings and checking for for anything he missed. He even calibrated it.

Cail looked up and saw the new figures.

UnStellar · « **Reply #61 on:** June 08, 2011, 02:13:34 AM »

Sierra runs in and grabs it from Cail forcefully, checking it expertly and frantically like one might check an injured child. Finding nothing wrong with it she spins it, plucking the strings a couple of time to make sure everything is in order.

Cail cocks his head to the side as he gets up. "I dried it off and made sure none of the water soaked into the wood. What water did get into the mechanisms I pulled out with some magic." Explained. "I even tuned it. I looked like they were bumped into. Oh, yeah. My names Cail." He said, holding out his hand to greet her.

UnStellar · « **Reply #63 on:** June 08, 2011, 01:42:34 PM »

After a few plucks she found she was, in fact, in tune. A little stunned she looked down at Cail, embarassed.
"Um. I'm Sierra... Sorry for freaking out." She takes his hand and shakes it.

"Its fine." He said, nonchalantly. "Nice to meet you, Seirra." He said before looking at Alik. "Hey, Dad, want me to get the other kids together?" he asked.

"That would be great, Cail." Alik said, nodding."Everything okay, Seirra?" He asked as Cail ran off.

UnStellar · « **Reply #65 on:** June 08, 2011, 02:41:31 PM »

She stares at her bass for a little bit longer.
"Yeah. Everythings fine." She turns to face him. "Thank you Alik. I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you."

"You were just acting the way you knew how to do with strangers." He shrugged. "Its not your fault."

Cail came back in leading seven kids around the age of eight. Two of them were singing "Kaylee and Simon sitting in a tree..." While a little girl with brown hair pounded after them and a boy with brown hair walked shyly into the room dragging his little sister, a girl with pale skin and black hair, with him. Her head was swinging to its own invisible tune as he dragged her.

"Mal, Jayne. Stop teasing." Alik told them. "Kaylee, no running in the house, remember?"

They groaned and the teasing subsided and Kaylee came to a halt, glaring daggers at the two boys. Jayne, the bigger one, looked almost like a twelve year old. The second, Mal, looked down and scuffed his toe against the floor.

Another pair came into the room, a dark skinned girl with brown hair and a fierce demeanor was followed by a little blond boy. They were arguing.

Sierra gave them all a quick smile, and bent over to talk to Kaylee.
"Those boys being mean to you?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #68 on:** June 08, 2011, 02:59:17 PM »

"Yes.." She sniffled, crossing her arms.

"Were not!" Mal protested.
"Nuh uh!" Jayne added.

The little brown haired boy led his sister over to the couch where they sat down, him watching what was happening with big brown eyes and her staring off into space and listening to her own little tune.

The dark skinned girl and the blond boy were arguing about some television show. "Nuh uh! Ultratron would totally woop Master Chef's butt!" the girl said, turning to face the boy.
"No way!"He protested,saying it was the other way around.

Sierra wrapped an arm around the girl, and began to whisper in her in an exaggerated manner, occasionally glancing at the boys and giggling.
"You know what I used to do to boys who made fun of me?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #70 on:** June 08, 2011, 03:05:26 PM »

"What?" She said, rubbing her eyes.

UnStellar · « **Reply #71 on:** June 08, 2011, 03:12:02 PM »

"I beat em' up!" She said out loud, lunging at the two boys in an even more exaggerated manner and tackling Jayne. She holds him in the crook of her elbow and gives him a noogie, laughing.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #72 on:** June 08, 2011, 03:24:17 PM »

Mal yelped and dodged out of the way while Kaylee let out a wet giggle. Simon smirked, Jayne screamed and called uncle, the dark skinned girl and the blonde boy stopped their argument for a second to laugh at Jayne's plight. "Looks like Jayne picked on someone his own size for once." The dark haired girl said, before going back to arguing about the tv or video game.

Cail smiled. "Shes been awake for ten minutes and she's already getting along with everybody." Alik nodded.

UnStellar · « **Reply #73 on:** June 08, 2011, 03:27:21 PM »

Sierra stops noogying him but keeps him in the head lock giggling.
"So your name is Jayne huh? But that a gi-i-rls name! Jayne's a girl! Jayne's a girl!" Sierra sings in a sing song voice, pausing for giggle fits here and there.

"Is.. Is no!" He said, trying to get free. "Lemme go you crazy!" he says.
