Sadie took a long shower, hoping maybe the hot water and soap would wash away not only the dirt and sweat, but the emotional pain she'd sustained since encountering Gray and his men. When she resolved herself finally that it would not, she got out of the shower, dried off and dressed in her last set of clothes in the now empty bag she'd brought along.
Afterwards, she stepped out of the bathroom and found Splice where she'd left her. Tossing her dirty clothes in a basket provided under her bed, Sadie then turned to Splice and smiled.
"Ready to hit the dining room?"

"Okay," Splice said, removing her gaming goggles and setting them aside.? "Food sounds good right about now.? She gave Reaper a quick look-over, then raised a questioning eyebrow.? "That isn't all you brought with you, is it?"? The young red-head shook her head disdainfully.? "I swear, a place for teens in need should be a _lot_ better prepared than this.? First thing after we eat, _you_ and I are getting you some more clothes."

"Don't judge them too harshly," Splice went on as she kept walking.? "They're still kind of short-staffed and just getting things set up here.? I do sometimes wish I had a power for creating illusions.? That I could appear dressed however I like no matter what I was wearing.? Or not wearing," she added, grinning impishly.? "Wouldn't that be a trip?"
