Leiden at 6:15AM...
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Di---!
Violet quickly slapped the top of her alarm clock, effectively silencing it.
"Yaaaaaawn!"
She stretched her stiff body. Violet stood up from the bed, put on her gloves, and walked lazily to the the bathroom.
'Time to wash my face.'
She turned on the hot and cold knobs and let the water fill her basin. Then, with a face towel in hand, she dipped it in the water, lightly rubbed her eyes, and patted her face.
Leaving the towel to dry on a rack, she looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her bright blue eyes stared back at her. Here hair was a tangled mess. Her face still looked extremely tired.
'I'll clean up.'
In her bathrobe, she made her way to her closet and opened it. Inside her closet, were her home clothes, her uniforms, formal wear, and in the corner of the closet...a holster with two revol...
SLAM!!!!
Violet quickly took her uniform and shut the closet, avoiding to look in that corner.
Now dressed, she walked over to her bedside table, took her brooch, and pinned it to middle of her ribbon-tie. After that, she took to the kitchen to make breakfast.
From her new fridge (fridges were now being used throughout Leidenschaftlich), she took two eggs. A bowl which she took from the cupboard, she placed on the countertop. Then, she tried cracking the eggs.
CRACK! CRACK!
'Well, apparently I still get shells in my eggs.'
Using a spoon, she tried to fish out any of the larger shells that she could see.
With a burner turned on, she promptly cooked her breakfast.
MUNCH! CRACK! MUNCH! CRACK!
Violet quietly ate while mentally critiquing her own cooking.
'Crunchy. I really need to figure out how to avoid getting shells in.'
MUNCH! CRACK!
'Taste could be better. Maybe I should add some cream and basil.'
MUNCH! CRACK!
'It needs salt. That's what I forgot.'
Violet wasn't a complainer though, besides good food and bad food are still...
'Just food.'
