OOC- Yeah, I didn't think you realized that. It's alright. Claire went out to search for a water faucet but there was no kitchen to be found. She managed to find a dirty bathroom with a deteriorating shower curtain and a clogged sink. "Well, it's better than nothing," she thought. "Now, where can I find some cups or glasses?" She searched through the medicine cabinet with a warped mirror, but the only thing in the cabinet was one bottle of pills labeled: [glow=red,2,300]V.F.D.[/glow] She pondered how she would be able to transport the water.

"Quentin's is a big building, since lots of orphans come here, but only 1 in 100 ever get adopted. You see, there's this rumor that orphans who stay here are driven crazy. There's varying reasons, but the top two are seeing so much death and fumes from the decaying wood." She said, opening the door. "I've always wanted to be that one orphan, but no one wants to adopt a necrologist because they think I'm suicidal or homicidal or something."

"Well, I'm sure somebody will adopt you," Klaus said, looking at her. She seems like such a sad person. There's got to be someway I can help her...

Lindow laughed. "You wanna bet on it?" She opened a dormitory door, after carefully choosing one which she heard crying behind. "This is the kind of kids who get adopted." A burly man was carrying a screaming toddler in a pink dress by her blonde hair.

"But, there has to be some way," Klaus started, wondering why the girl was being carried by her hair.

Claire managed to find some old glass jars hidden behind the yellowed shower curtain. She first rinsed out all the dirt and spider webs inside, then began to fill each jar with water about halfway. Carefully, she walked back to the room with Carmelita, making sure none of the water spilled.

"Besides. I work here." The dinner bell sounded it's piercing ring. "We've got to hurry! Come on!"

"Okay!" Klaus said, running to keep up. Hopefully the food isn't decaying...

Hearing the dinner bell, she put the jars of water on a nearby table. "Well, I guess we didn't need these after all," she thought to herself. She wasn't sure where they would meet for dinner, but then she saw Lindow and another orphan (whom she believed was Klaus Baudelaire due to her research on V.F.D.) run toward a particular room down the hall. She quietly followed them.

She came to a double door. "I'm warning you, the mess hall is filthy..." I really hope they aren't serving mycelium casserole. The horseradish ruins it even more.

Violet, who had been trying to make the best of the desheveled surroundings in her bedroom, heard this bell and figured that it must have been time for dinner. Carefully wlaking over the warped floorboards, she made her way to the messhall to wait for Klaus and Sunny.

"Oh, and if anyone forgot to bring pyjamas, there's a box of slips in the sewing room I'll show you after dinner."

Luckily, thought Violet, I DID bring some pajamas with me.... these slips don't sound very comfortable....

Lindow sniffed the air. "Oh great." She said. "It IS mycelium casserole."

Hearing this, Violet quickly becomes nervous as she remembers her expirience with the mycilium onboard the Queequeg.
