The young girl gripped her bag strap tight as she walked out of the subway station. Her finger nails dug into her palm as she looked around the new station, it was her first time in DC and she knew where nothing was. She'd set herself a goal of finding someone who could introduce her to other supernatural beings, specifically merchants. She patted the dust from the subway off of her skirt and picked a direction to walk in, she'd had enough money for a hotel room but she needed to find one cheap enough for her to be able to afford magic stuff as well. As she walked she made sure to keep an eye out for out of the usual stores as well as cheap looking hotels, but nothing was popping out at her.<br/><br/>"Hey pretty girl, you lookin' for a goo-" she walked faster as some creep started hitting on her, she'd seen him hitting on another woman just moments before. "Fine be a bitch, you're not even hot anyways", he shouted as she walked past him. She hoped that no one else would bother hitting on her while she was on business. Finally she spotted a run down motel, the walls were a stained red brick with cracked windows.<span style="font-style: italic">I should have taken more money from home</span>she thought as she opened the door. The interior of the lobby was cleaner than expected and the clerk was a well groomed mid-aged female wearing a tan pantsuit.<br/><br/>"Hello miss, how may I help you"? She asked, her smile less than genuine.<br/><br/>"I'd like to rent a room for a week, do you have any availabilities"? The younger girl asked.<br/><br/>"Yes we have one opening, it's fifty dollars per night, will that be acceptable"? The clerk's smile faded slightly, obviously annoyed at this girl.<br/><br/>"Yes it'll do, I'll take the room for eight days and seven nights then" The girl said, pulling out enough cash for a seven night stay.<br/><br/>"Alright, miss, what shall I write you down as?" The clerk snatched the money off the counter and counted it out. After verifying the cash was legit she reached behind her and pulled the lone key of the rack, and placing it on the counter.<br/><br/>"Leone Scarlet", the younger girl answered snatching the key off the counter and leaving the lobby for her room.
