Third Floor Common Room [Sunday morning/early afternoon]
Sunday, January 5th, 2014 10:54 amCelia normally rose early -- it was partly a defense mechanism, so she could get everything she needed for the day under way before her father rose from his hangover. But after all of yesterday's commotion and surprises, she found herself still abed when it was nearly noon, on Saturday morning.
She quickly found a warm winter dress in her trunk and pulled her hair up in a passable bundle of curls, then ventured out to the common room. Supposedly this was where food could be found -- after the picnic yesterday, she'd not had much interest in seeking out still more food, but today was a different story.
The first and easiest-to-access item she encountered was a blue box bearing a tiger and the words 'Frosted Flakes,' sitting out on a countertop. Celia frowned at it, then peeked around before opening the box. She didn't want to go into someone else's food, but she'd also been given the impression that this was where community items were kept, so....
Hm. Flakes. And they did indeed look frosted. Celia gingerly plucked one of the little morsels out of the box and tried it, then decided she liked it enough to keep eating from the box as she perused the kitchen. Yes, it was much less dignified than how she'd behave with company about, but that was neither here nor there since she was alone for the moment. She was strongly considering levitating things down from top shelves, too -- her father would have told her that if she didn't use her magic, it would lose power, of course, but Celia was still a little cautious about possible witnesses and what it meant that she was here.
She had more pressing concerns at the moment, though. "What in the devil's name is a Froot Loop?"
[totally open, whooooooo! save me from housework. EDIT: shhh it never said Saturday. wishful thinking.]
