Sketchbook Panic [Open] [Closed] - Courtyard

6 May 2020, 04:47

Crystal was currently running around the courtyard in a frenzy. She was looking in every nook and cranny she could find, even rustling through the bushes to peer behind them. Why was she so panicked? She lost her sketchbook. The sketchbook she started a year ago that was full of personal art, that she put so much time and effort in, gone. She already tore through her dorm, looking through everything she owned trying to find it. That meant that she must have somehow left it in a place that she was drawing. Last place she remembered drawing in was the courtyard, so here she was. At this point, she was holding back tears of frustration and stress as she searched high and low for her art. She had her hair in a ponytail so that it wouldn't block her peripherals, an attempt to make it so that she might spot it out of the corner of her eye.

Didn't seem to help though, as she has already made two loops around the place. Her normal way of looking for things didn't seem to be working out for her, and it was just making her more and more upset. She started hyperventilating a while ago, as dumb as it seems. That sketchbook is extremely important to her. It's a stress reliever, it's her artistic progress, it's her anchor when she gets mad, it's a way to keep her calm. Its important, she can't loose it. Crystal realized that she was shaking too badly, she needed to sit down. She needed to catch her breath.

Crystal shakily leaned against one of the walls surrounding the fountain, slowly sitting down. Crystal flicked at her nails, kept rubbing her legs, all of her nervous habits showing themselves in full force with her panic. Continuously rubbing her eyes she tried to even out her breathing, but was currently failing miserably. She needed to calm down, she needed to find her sketchbook. But where was it?

@Crystal Jagger

Cassie just finished their study session with two of their best friends. The study session on their opinion was successful, even though the three of them still once or twice talked about other topics that did not have any relevant to the subjects that the three First Years studied.

When Cassie got out from the Library, some of their House mate bumps into them, holding somewhat like a sketchbook. Two out of three snickering while open from one page to another. "Come on, lass! That is not cool"Cassie said to the ones who snickered about. Their arms are full with all their belongings but Cassie put it down next to them.

"Yeah? and what is it to you?"The taller ones out of the three said with a challenging manner. "You do not want to know. Just hand it over the book"Cassie ordered the taller one and open their palm, taking a single step into her personal space. Their green eyes look dead on to the girl blue eyes, unflinching. The ones that snickered about, now silence and look at their 'leader'.

"So, how is it gonna be?"Cassie growled. Their voice dripped with coldness and give chilling effect. "Give it to her"Barked the taller one to the other two. "I will be watching you"The taller one threaten Cassie. Cassie just smirk and raise their eyebrow. After the sketchbook been given to them, Cassie picks up the rest of their belonging and about to head back to their Common Room but they decided to take a detour and walked passed the Courtyard.

Their arms aching for holding the thick books and their other belongings. The sketchbook, they placed it on top of everything. Upon arrived in the Courtyard, they saw a girl leans against one of the wall near the fountain, flicked her nails and kept rubbing her legs. Cassie huffed their breathe and hiked up their belongings. They hands now have pins and needles.

Once Cassie near the girl, their hands give up. With a loud thud all of their belongings fell down from their hands. Some of their belongings scattered around. "Blimey! That was heavy. Sorry if I startled you,"Cassie said.

They bent down to retrieve the sketch book. "Um, I do not know if this yours or not, but I saw some kids look inside it and I can tell this book is personal to you?"Cassie inquires the panic stated looking girl, showing the book that they just found (or threaten) to the other girl.

Interacting with @Cassandra Ironwoods

Crystal jumped at the sound of things falling, not expecting the sudden noise. She looked up for the origin of the sound, and saw a person standing there. "Blimey! That was heavy. Sorry if I startled you," they said as they bent down to pick something up. Crystal looked to see what it was that they were reaching for, and she nearly exploded with happiness. It was her sketchbook! When the person offered it to her she immediately snatched it out of their hands, wanting it back in her own hands. Her breathing finally evened out, and her nervous ticks her happening much less often now. "I've been looking all over for this thing, and yes it is mine. You said some kids were looking in it? Who were they? Where were they?" so many questions were flooding through her mind and out of her mouth. She clutched the sketchbook to her chest possessively, what kind of people would steal a sketchbook? She decided to quickly look through all of the pages, making sure nothing was torn or sketched over. Thankfully nothing seemed to be wrong besides a couple of wrinkles. Clearly these people weren't very careful when turning the pages. Crystal did her best to try and flatten the wrinkles out, pushing and holding them down. "I hope these people get a cavity," she hissed softly.
