Late night wanderings (Open)
Permalink Closed


Lorissa was well on her way to having a pretty uneventful first week in Rome, but then again, that could be a good thing. At least the tiny gothic pixie wasn't getting herself into more trouble than she could handle. She'd finally gotten a call about her missing suitcase, and it was expected to be returned to her within a day or two or so the airline customer service employee had informed her. Yay for getting back lost property! So her day had been spent sight seeing, being all touristy, and her night, well, she'd eaten, then gone to her hotel, showered and tried to go to sleep, but per usual sleep alluded her. She got up after about an hour or more of tossing and turning and decided the best way to take care of this was find herself a bottle and drink herself into oblivion, hell, it typically worked.

Getting dressed was easy, she just threw on a pair of baggy jeans with a leather belt, a black tank and a navy hoody with the front covered in drawings of two stick figures getting chased by a cartoon cop car with the caption underneath reading, "It's all fun and games until the cops get called," boots and gloves. She left the hotel room and took a very boring ride down the elevator wishing they would play something besides opera, not that she hated opera, but after hearing it everytime you stepped in or out, it tended to grate on Lori's nerves.

She waved off the hotel manager on duty who asked if she needed anything and exited through the lobby doors, pulling the hood up to keep the chilly night air at bay and started walking at a brisk pace towards the liquor store she'd passed a few times hoping to hell they were still open, lighting up a cigarette as she walked.

Astrid had been out almost all day getting up at the crack of dawn almost so that she could roam around Rome to see all the wonderful museums and Landmarks that the city offer to people. And learning everything she could. She loved learning history about places.You can call her a geek.She was proud of it too ! Finally seeing the last landmark that had just closed for the evening as she was about to head back to her hotel room.

 Astrid would be trying to decide whether or not to do a sleeping potion for herself to help her sleep through the night while walking down the street.She has been having nightmares again which were driving her insane. Dress in a long sleeve black and red stripped T-shirt which had a deep v cut neckline that sat her silver talisman with weird looking symbols on it with a pair of light blue hip hugger jeans with some black and red sneakers. Glancing up to see a hooded figure with baggy pants headed toward her as she headed toward the liquor store to grab a bottle of wine for the potion which was needed. Reaching the place before she did pulling the door open and stepping within the store. Astrid would hold the door wondering if she was entering if not she let the door fall close.

Lori was in luck, thank goodness the liquor store was still open, yay! The tiny pixie would have done a little dance as she watched a woman walk in the store ahead of her, only it seemed she was holding the door open for her. She lifted an ebon brow wondering if the lady was a mind reader but let it go and flicked her cigarette away in a high arch before running to catch onto the door. "Thanks Lady." See, Lorissa could be nice when the occasion called for it. She gave a small smile pulling her hood back as she entered, then wandered off towards the back of the liquor store where they usually kept the hard stuff.
 
Blue-green eyes passed quickly over the shelves looking for what she wanted before deciding on a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of tequila, and for kicks a bottle of amaretto, because hey, sometimes she liked something sweet.  Taking her selections up to the counter, she also ended up buying a couple of packs of cigarettes and a new zippo that had a picture of a royal flush in hearts on it. Giving money to the cashier she told him to keep the change before picking up her bag and heading to the front door, her eyes moving to the other store patron a moment before heading off back outside.
 
Of course once out the door the cold hit her in the face and she set down her prized bag of alcohol to pull her hood back up blocking off a little bit of the iciness. Pulling out her cigarettes she took one out and lit it with her new zippo before putting both lighter and cigs in her pocket. She kneeled down figuring she might as well get an early start and a shot of liquid warmth, puffing on the cig she pulled out the bottle of whiskey and twisted of the cap before bringing the bottle to her lips taking three large gulps. Swallowing the burn she grimaced slightly before replacing the cap and putting the bottle back in the bag. Picking up the bag she started making her way back to the hotel with a trail of cigarette smoke following behind her.

Astrid would watch as the women took the door and entered behind her. Her power would gently make the women's hair stand up on her arm." Yours Welcome .."  But that is only if she notice. Not a lot do unless they were special them self. Astrid would slowly walk through the rows of liquor before making her way over toward the wine. Slowly reading over the labels letting her fingers run over them as they would talk to her it was something with being a Witch. Before the one that was needed was found and screaming at her. Wrapping her hand around the stem of the bottle then making her way toward the counter to pay for it. But the women that enter after her was getting cashed out. So she waited. Before watching the women leave then step up to the counter handing the money to the cashier. Then took her bag an pushed the door open to get blasted with cold air.

 She would take a couple steps out the door and down the street before noticing the women in front of her wondering if she was heading the way she was heading to her hotel for the night. Well at least she wasn't the only one out on the street at this time incase anything happens. And with being in a new place like this anything is possible. She wave her hand in front of herself some as she would catch some smoke every once and while from the cig the other women was smoking.

Lori smoked the cig down to a butt before she flicked it out into the street, watching as it arked in the air before becoming a flash of embers on the pavement. For some reason seeing those embers scattering made her smile and she hummed a little tune as she made her way up the few blocks to her hotel. The lobby was near deserted as she walked through the electronic doors that opened in front of her. She peeped around wondering if anyone would be silly enough to be up as late as it was, and seeing next to no one she hurried on to the elevator.

She hit the button to bring the elevator to the bottom floor, waiting a little impatiently while tapping her foot. She was ready to get plastered and hopefully relieve the memories that hounded her in a fog of drunken bliss. Her home in Hawaii was gone, and her friends there too. Her mother was in a constant state of worry, but instead of hiking her butt back to New Orleans she'd decided to take this little vacation instead. Her mother had heckled her endessly, wanting to know how long she'd be out of the country, to which the tiny pixie could only answer with the truth. She didn't know. She had enough money to make herself a permanent resident if she wished, but she'd come to the decision that looking that far ahead usually brought nothing but trouble. Well, at least it had for her.

She wondered briefly if she'd ever see any of her friends again, Silent, Ash, though him she hadn't really known that well, Ace, Mayra, Lyl, the twins or Jessie. Thinking of the vampire made her sigh, though she'd only met him a few times, she'd felt comfortable with him, when everyone disappeared, she'd missed him far more than she rightfully should have, but that seemed to be her lot in life. At least she had a few good memories of their short time together. The ding of the elevator hitting the ground floor before the doors opened up brought her out of her reverie and she stepped in hitting the button that would carry her to her floor.

Astrid was lost in her little own world at the moment just seem to follow along behind the women she didn't mean to but they seem to be staying at the same hotel. Her mind wondered over the herbs she will need. Before seeing the flick of the cig landing within the street and the embers from it spray about the street from the women infront of her. She raise a brow before looking toward the sky to see there was no moon tonight before turning to enter the same building. Seeing that she was waiting for the elevator before seeing the doors open as she quickly made her way toward the elevator yelling " Hey can you hold the elevator! " but see that it closed before she caught it. Thinking that the women didn't hear her yell.

Lorissa blinked as she heard a yell for her to hold the doors to the elevator a moment before they clicked shut. Well, damn, thinking quickly she pushed the button to re-open the doors and had to wait a moment before they actually slid back open. Giving a small apologetic smile she set down her bag of alcohol next to her feet and looked at the woman, her blue-green eyes slightly curious. "Sorry about that, spaced out for a minute. What floor?" She asked waiting for the woman to step onto the elevator with her. Her own room was on the 16th floor, giving a nice view of the city off the small balcony attached to her room. No penthouse, but no small potatoes either.

She tilted her head to the side, hand poised to press the button of the other woman's floor when that annoying opera music clicked on. Lori had to hide a grimace as the elevator doors clicked shut once the woman got on.

Astrid would watch as the doors of the elevator would open once more to see that the women did hear her. So she stepped onto the elevator."  It's alright. I'm on the 11th floor . "  Before she would move herself to the oppsite wall to lean against it as she pulled the bottle of wine she had brought from the bag to look over the label to read it while she waited for the elevator to get to her floor. She would pull the cork out of the bottle to smell the wine. Then takes a sip of it before cringing some. " Wow thats strong. " She whisper to herself before placing the cork back into the bottle as they were almost at her floor.
