Lorna meets her neighbor that lives across the way in her new home - Bobbi Morse.

While it was far from spring, Bobbi always found an urge to clean shortly after each year began. Maybe it was tied in to the start of a new calendar, or resolutions, but regardless she couldn't help herself. So she'd spent the better part of the day going through her living quarters, dusting all of the things and throwing away what she didn't need any longer.

On the way back from throwing out the last things she'd culled, Bobbi noticed a door slightly ajar and an unfamiliar face inside. She stopped and changed course, heading for the doorway, then rapped lightly on the frame to get the attention of the person inside.

"Hi there, sorry if I'm intruding but I just thought I'd say hello." she said, giving the newcomer a little smile.

Lorna couldn't really believe the size of this place. She was slightly jet lagged but she couldn't find it to sleep yet. One thing for certian, she was safe.

She was getting acquainted with her new home when she heard a knock on the door. Fear paralyzed her for a moment but relaxed just as quickly. Turning to see a friendly face at her door. "Hi. I am just getting used to the size of this room." There was no use being rude to her new housemates. Everyone was here for a reason, just like her. "Are all rooms like this?"

"Pretty much, more or less." Bobbi said, entering the room after the other woman spoke to her. She peered around and it looked similar to her own room at least. "I'm Bobbi, by the way, nice to meet you. My room's just over there." she pointed outside the door for her reference. "I just noticed someone new and thought I'd say hi, I hope I'm not interrupting or disturbing you."

Lorna nodded, the main room was the size of her previous apartment all together. "I am Lorna." She looked over Bobbi shoulder at the doorway across the way. "How often do new people arrive here? And don't worry. You aren't. Little jetlagged but otherwise you are good."

"Ok, cool, good to know, Lorna." Bobbi said with a grin. "We get people every now and then, it varies, I suppose." She wasn't sure of the exact numbers but it wasn't unusual to have new people arrive occasionally. "Jetlag can be such a pain, especially when you're losing time. Which way were you coming from, if you don't mind my asking?"

"California. I came with my sister. I did lose some time. Feels like I am in the future." She smirked and rubbed her arm. "Would you like to come in all the way? I don't want you to stand the entire time."

"Oh, sure, sorry." Bobbi said with a chuckle. She'd forgotten she was still outside of the room. Walking inside, she glanced around and found a free chair to sit in. "California would be fantastic right about now, I could use some warm weather. And your sister, hmm, who's that?"

"Pretty gloomy at the moment. Wanda is my sister." Maybe this girl knew Wanda, she just hoped that that is all she knew of Wanda. She took a seat on the couch.

"Wanda, right. She's awesome." Bobbi replied, smiling a little. "So are you the younger sister or the older one?" She had an idea which was which but totally didn't want to guess, just in case she was wrong. "Oh, and has anyone given you the grand tour yet? If so I'm told I give a pretty good one, and I charge a perfectly reasonable rate on top of that." She nodded at the last part, a slight smirk on her lips.

"I'll let her know you said that. I am the baby of the family. Uh no. I know where the kitchen is but that is about it. Pretty sure this house is the biggest I have ever stayed in."

"It's pretty big, yeah, but you'll get used to it quickly, trust me." It had taken Bobbi a good month or so to get completely used to the mansion's layout, however she wasn't about to tell Lorna that at that particular moment in time. She raised her eyebrows and tilted her head toward the doorway. "There's no time like the present, as they say, if you're up for it that is?"

Lorna thought about it for a moment. She was tired, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep yet. "Sure. And then we can end it with you showing me where they keep their stash of tea?"

"Absolutely." Bobbi answered. "There's a surprisingly decent selection, in my humble opinion anyway. Shall we?" She gestured toward the hallway for her new acquaintance to follow her outside as she started mapping out her impromptu tour in her mind.

"We shall." Lorna smiled before following her new friend out into the hallway.
