Anabella walked down the stairs, to the reception of the Tahoe lodge, at the moment it was her home, and one Anabella loved. It wasn’t simply the snow, it was also the...atmosphere here. There was just something that she loved about this place. Humming to herself she looked about, before she hurriedly began to check people in, helping the person at the front desk, first a young woman who seemed well pleased with herself, and then a family, who appeared to have one of those obnoxious teen girls who was staring at her phone and frowning. Ana grimaced slightly. Not being what you’d call a… normal girl, Ana had been the source of ridicule at such teenagers expense, and she wasn’t overly fond of them. 

She rolled her eyes as her co-worker went a little moony over a guest, but moved onto checking in a family, and that seemed to be it for the rush of check inns, although Anna knew that there could be as many checking in in spurts, or sometimes consistently, throughout the day. She would be on hand if that was the case, for now she left her co-worker at the desk, moving about the lodge to make sure that the guests were satisfied, or if they needed a hand, all the while keeping an eye on the time. She had a beginners class to teach later on, and god knew she couldn’t be late for it again. 

Smiling at a woman she had checked in, Ana checked that the brochures were stocked, before she greeted the woman. [color=cyan]”Good day, I’m Anabella, but you can call me Ana. If you need anything, let me know”[/color]. The girl smiled at her, and said [color=moccasin]”Hi, I’m Jamie. Uh, well, I was thinking that I could try skiing, but no doubt I’ll end up on my ass”[/color] Ana laughed, as Jamie did. [color=cyan]”Oh, well, I have a beginners class this afternoon, if you’d like to be in it, I’m sure I can squeeze one more in”[/color]. 

Jamie smiled brightly, and decided that she may as well have a shot at it. Wasn’t that the point of doing things like this? [color=moccasin]”That would be great, thank you”[/color] She said, hands full of brochures, she looked down at them, before looking back up at Ana. [color=moccasin]”Ah, I need to rent some equipment then”[/color] 

Ana nodded, looking over Jamie, thoughtfully judging what gear she’d need, [color=cyan]”Well, that can be arr-”[/color] 

There was a mild flash of panic when smoke filled the lobby, and she thought that somehow, it had caught on fire. And she knew it would be her fault. As the smoke dispersed, Ana saw the guy her co-worker had gone moony over appearing slightly smug, and she vaguely recalled something about the man. He seemed familiar… a magician. Annoyed, Ana stalked over there. [color=cyan]”Just what were you doing? You don’t fool around like that, I thought there was a fire! If you’re going to do impromptu magic tricks, [i]warn the staff[/i], so we don’t panic!”[/color]

Jamie followed Ana, a little taken aback, she reached for the girl as she started to yell at a guy, she laid a hand on her shoulder, nodding to the family there. Ana grimaced, and let out a sigh, [color=cyan]”I apologise, Sirs and Ma’ams. I did not mean to make a scene. Please, forgive me”[/color]
