Hotel Lobby
Joey
Well... Now Joey was really confused, she'd never seen a place like this before but at least it was warm, it was also terrifying because there were so many colors and no plants that she could see anywhere except for a few in the corners in potted plants. She could hear and see people moving about, but there was so little vegetation anywhere that hiding was almost completely out of the question.
Seeing someone move towards her however, smiling, Joey did what anyone she knew would do in this situation, which was charge herself and her flower over to one of the potted plants and sit in front of it, the blossom that was her mobile home closing around her quickly as she shuddered and retreated in the safety of her plant, her vines gently pushing people away as she tried to figure out what to do and waited for the punishing blows that would inevitably come against the petals of her bloom... But... They never came. For over an hour, Joey stayed completely secluded within her bloom, refusing to hope or dare that no one was attacking her in this strange place before her face peaked out of the flower, her eyes wide as she glanced around. Where was this? this wasn't the forest or the springs or the cave she liked, and getting a closer look, she could see there were doors leading outside, but she didn't dare go right now, even momentarily ignored like she was.
Nervous, admittedly afraid, and painfully shy, Joey stayed right where she was, glancing around from inside her flower and retreating whenever the odd people came near her as no one seemed to be speaking, or respecting her wish to be left alone for the most part. And here she would stay, until someone friendly came along and smiled, Joey was a sucker for smiling, it was always so nice.
Well, at least in here she was warm, and happy, but she was getting hungry and couldn't stay here forever, the flower blooming in her hair closing up and hiding as well as she did what any smart person did, she waited... and waited... And Waited, until something changed.
