Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
Cherise's lashes twitched. That blasted faucet. She thought for sure she'd fixed it, and had enjoyed two weeks of peace. The thing was determined to disturb her sleep. She opened her eyes and sat up with a mumbled curse on her lips.
Something tumbled off of her lap, and when she reached to throw off her blanket, she found there was nothing there. She was wearing her black pencil skirt and charcoal blouse as well, she noted, and she never wore her work clothes to bed.
Suddenly more alert, she got her first good look at the stony cavern in which she found herself. There was water everywhere, still as glass, save for the ripples flitting away from whatever had fallen off of her lap. Her stomach tightened in alarm, but then she relaxed. Still water was no danger to her; only running water would cut off access to her magic. She still had her wand, she noted, and if she were a captive the wand would certainly have been taken from her.
Swinging her long legs off of the strange metallic coccoon platform, she dropped down with a light 'splish' as her pumps hit the shallow water. It wasn't deep. There seemed to be several openings in the rocky dome, all promising sunlight. Cherise stooped to retrieve the item she'd dislodged, finding that it was a small box. Tucking it under her arm, she took an uncertain step forward, then another. Her wand lay against her wrist; she wanted to be able to use it in case there was danger, but she didn't want to raise any undue alarm herself.
"Hello?" she called, her voice echoing throughout the chamber.

For about 100 steps. Clearly her nap had not been sufficient, for Karina then sank to her knees, looking defeated on the ground. "I need a break..."

She motioned toward her communicator. "Hey...do you know where to find this address?"
no subject
But she did look at the address. "Ah...well I've only just awoken, so I couldn't give you directions personally. But I do recall seeing a map included in the brochure. It's only a matter of orienting yourself." She turned to look toward the exit. "Which can only be done by leaving this place, I assume."
Then she walked REAL FAST OUT
Karina's stomach began to growl. Now was her moment. Now was the time to take charge and venture forth into this brave new world.
"I think I can walk again. Let's go...(you take care of the map reading please)"
