Re: Artist's Retreat

[Charlie]

Russ-

"Do ya need water." I had some in my car, an since she was out of breath, i thought it would be nice. I looked at the guy "Em, Yeah. I don't really no what happened." I explained.


Lauren-

I had closed the door to my jeep, and walked to the main floor of the building. I found a door that said dance studio. I walked in. The wood floors, a bar, wall of mirrors, great sound system. I was in heaven. I pub my CD in, and began to stretch. Leaving the door cracked a little.

[bookcrazI]

Penny: I blushed, I was ultra clumsy. I knew I would be seeing the nurse often. "Yes.. I kinda almost got hit by a car then scraped my elbows. I then lost my camera but found it again after running out into trafic and I stubbed my toe on the way back her." I took in a deep breath and smiled. "And water would be nice."

[KenzieJo]

Jon: I see the bandages. "I guess if your alright now." But the frown was still on my face, I look at the two. "Im Jac by the way." I tell him, my lips still stretched thin in concentration. "If you need anything don't hesitate to ask." I say a little mindlessly, still wondering who would've run over the poor girl. I would check the tapes later if I remembered.

[Charlie]

Russ-

I ran off, and got the water out of my car, I cam back and handed it to her. "Here ya go, sorry its not cold."


Lauren-

I had finished stretching and put on my favorite song to do improve to. I got into a starting posistion and began. I was so happy dancing in a beatiful studio, nicer than most of the ones back home.

[Ziva :)]

"I started violin lessons when I was a kid, but to say the very least it wasn't my favorite past time. When I was a little older, I met a flautist at church. I taught myself how to play on Sunday afternoons. She let me have an old flute of her's when it turned out that flute was more my thing," Liz smiled a little and habitually tapped her violin case.

[bookcrazI]

Penny: I stick out my hand to shake. "Hi, I'm Penny. Don't worry, I'll be visiting the nurses often. I am pretty accident prone." I inform. I take the water with a smile. "Thanks, I don't mind at all."

[Charlie]

Russ-

"I'm Russ by the way." I shook his hand.



Lauren-

I was doing a switch leap and landed badly on my ankle. It could have been worse, but I would need Advil, and an ace bandage till I could get my brace. I hobbled to turn the music off, then went to the first aid station. "Hi." I said to the group of people standing in front of it. My ankle now looked like a soft ball. I fought back the tears, I had done this before get a hold of yourself.

[KenzieJo]

Jon: I nod a bit, "Well Im sure you were headed to the practice rooms like me, I can show you to them if you'd like." I got the tour this morning from jac, this place was huge, and easy to get lost in.

Jac: I just nod, snapping out of my daze of making a to do list, to see Laura hurt. "Not another one." I groan, putting my hands over my eyes. "What happened?" I asked, Id never get to my painting how this day was going.

[bookcrazI]

Penny: I turned and gasped at the girl. I went to her side and helped her stay standing. "You okay?" I asked, I had the weakest ankles ever so I twisted them alot. I felt symphathy for the girl.

[Ziva :)]

"You read my mind," Liz muttered. "This place is big enough to warrent it's own map,"

[Charlie]

Lauren-

I blushed, "I was dancing, and took a fall." I needed to elevate it. "Happens all the time. But I do need some tylenol, ice, and ace bandage till I can dig out my ankle brace. It's probably still in my car." I ramble on. I looked at the girl helping me, "Totally fine." I lied, weak ankles and dance did not match but it wasn't going to stop me from doing what I love.


Russ-

"Ankle sprains stink. I'm Russ." I said, playing soccer in my free time I had a fair share of ankle sprains.

[bookcrazI]

Penny: I bit my lip. "I will stand here and hold you up. I don't trust myself with anything else." I say cheerily. I really didn't, I once mistaked advil for gravol that was not a good day.

[Charlie]

Lauren-

"Thanks." I said to the girl.

[bookcrazI]

Penny: "This is the one thing I can do without hurting myself or someone else. I'm Penny by the way." I said grinning.

[KenzieJo]

Jon: I laugh, "There are some in the main hall." I tell her. Jac made them a while back, getting lost himself the first year he got fed up with it. We reach the smaller practice rooms, the larger ones are for group projects, and I motion to them "Here we are. If you want your alone time thats fine, but I'd love to hear what you've got." I say, grinning down at her.

Jac: I nod a bit, "Alright." I could handle this, this happened to dancers from tie to time, they just get back up." The nurse here should be able to help you, she's got everything you need." I tell her. I rub my chin, feeling the stubble growing, "Mary." I call the nurse, "Could you get her what she needs and me some Excedrin." I felt a headache coming on, and it was the last thing I needed. She nodded, going to find the things in her cupboards.

[bookcrazI]

Penny: I frowned and sighed. I was an annoying person, my frequent injuries didn't do anyone any good. "Don't mistake it for gravol, gravol does not, repeat not, work on headaches. Believe me." I advised.

[Charlie]

Russ-

I laughed, having no idea what any of the medicine was they were talking about. Being from a different country was going to be difficult. I was just glad, I was old enough to drive.


Lauren-

I laughed. The swelling was already going down. I limped into the Nurses station after Jac.

[Ziva :)]

She nodded, and smiled a bit more. "Be my guest, but you have to play too." Liz slipped into the room and pulled out her violin and it's bow. "Act like a critic- tell me what sounds wrong, okay?" The young woman laid a peice of music on the stand.

[bookcrazI]

Penny: I was left standing outside the nurse station with Guss. "Soo, your british.." I trailed off at my lame attempt at a conversation.

[KenzieJo]

Jac: "Thanks hun." I murmur to mary as she hands me the supplies, I pop my pills quickly and wash it down with water. I hand Lauren her own beforesitting her on a chair and propping her foot on a stack of blankets on the cot opposite her. "Im just gonna wrap it for you." I tell her sitting down next to her foot and begin slowly.

Jon: "Fine by me." I tell her strolling in. "Play away my lady. I'll be as blunt as possible." I lean my guitar against the wall, taking a seat in the corner

[Charlie]

Russ-

I laughed, "I guess, I'm actually Irish. But I live in the UK so you can say I'm British."

Lauren-

I took the pills, and swallowed, them. He was very gentle with my foot, but it still hurt a tad. He knew how to wrap ankles that was for sure. "Thanks." I said.

[bookcrazI]

Penny: I shook my head. "I'm bad with accents okay?" I giggled.

[Charlie]

Russ-

I laughed, "It's fine, I'm just surprised you can actually understand me."

[KenzieJo]

Jac: I grin. "Of course. It what Im here for." I tell her, looking up to meet her gaze. hoping I didn't give up to much I add "Because Im the only who's been here before, and someones gotta show people the place."

[bookcrazI]

Penny: I waved my hand as if to dimiss it. "I work at touristy areas, I have to understand the strangest people." I said. I grimaced at the memory.

[Ziva :)]

Liz raised the violin to her chin and glanced at Jon. She could play before huge audiences, but just one or two peaple made herso nervous. Exaling and shifting her weight, Liz ignored the butterflies in her stomach and began to play.
Soon music blocked out the rest of the world and she sank into it, as gentle notes spilled out from under her hands. After a few minets she finished the excerpt of Adante Pastural by Paul Taffanel.
