location: ari’s hotel room

     “well, home sweet home,” ariadne commented as she gestured to the room, one of the fancier locations that salem had to offer. money wasn’t an issue, and she figured if losing the comfort of her own home was going to be required, then she could at least treat herself (and any guests) to some luxury for the trouble. when belen took ari up on her open-ended offer, at least temporarily, the astral witch was secretly relieved. being alone was beginning to do scary things to her mind, and the nightmares that had leapt from dreams into reality were only getting worse.

   and so; though she and belen couldn’t quite be considered the closest, or the best, of friends, ariadne was beyond pleased to have her there in the suite with her. two queen beds were what equipped the room, lavish in shades of red and black and gold, a small desk in a corner, and a large tv against the far wall. in the bathroom, a miniature Jacuzzi tub. “in another life, this would have been a well-spent vacation, no?” ari added with a forced laugh, coming to sit on the edge of one of the beds, furthest the window. she was scared of being seen - by mason, peter, unknown men hungry for blood... so the blinds were drawn tight. “i could not take it any longer, sitting as a duck at home.” and now, of course, thanks to ofelia’s attempt at dying her hair days prior, ariadne’s skull sported vibrant shades of orange and pink rather than the raven black color she;d sported naturally. a walking, talking, neon sign. come get me!
