𝐕𝐈. the gold rush

LORELEI DID NOT EXPECT TO GET woken up by a pounding and door-shaking knock on her bedroom entrance, but they always say to expect the unexpected.

practically falling instead of rolling out of her bed while rubbing her right eye, lorelei let her left hand fall onto the handle lazily as she used what little energy she had most mornings to open the door. soon the knocking stopped and the only sound that was heard was the jingle of the door handle.

an equally tired yet always radiant bill was standing there, his infamous tokyo-styled headband covering his forehead as his hair was messily pushed back. the boy wore an oversized black and red corpse hoodie with black cargo-styled pants and what looked like a designer pair of white shoes, but really, it was a thrift store steal.

"good morning campers!" bill joked, saluting lorelei. "today's challenge, is to make our train that's in thirty minutes."

"i thought-" lorelei yawned, stretching silently. "i thought it was tomorrow. what time did ran get here last night?"

"he got here at ..." bill paused, opening what lorelei assumed were his messages with the two-toned masked boy. "he got here at 2 am yesterday, which you were already gone by then. so much for an all-nighter, jerk."

lorelei just let out a chuckle in response and walked up to her closet. scanning over her pieces that were hung up, lorelei picked out a grey baby tee and decided to pair it with a black skirt. turning around, lorelei replied, "i wasn't gone, i was simply just — yeah i went to bed."
