Fortune Presents Gifts Not According to the Book [open]
The 4th Floor;
The 9th Room.

The terribly - implausibly - girl of gold and white, as far as the rise and fall of the fortunes of her schoolmates, can go for a little while unseen. She isn't the main character; she's one of those interesting side characters, with more fluency of movement. And she's been quiet, and quite herself, for the past few weeks, when autumn began to take root, and then to strangle poor summer to death...

See her,
[thus]
in her room.

She is lying on her bed, a hand over an open math book, the math book open on her stomach, facing downward. There are notebooks on the floor, pages covered in her neat scrawl. There is no music in the room; her ipod is charging, and her computer is de-fragging. She is as still as a fairytale princess, gazing up at the ceiling of her room as if - well - something were about to come through it.

She lifts her other hand, and twists her fingers about, and her unfocused gaze focuses on the air. . .

There's a shine. In her eyes, narrowing, radiant.

Yeah, we're talking about her. The 22nd Letter (and 2 + 2 is 4. And 4 is the representative of death).

Dmitri walks up the flight of stairs to the fourth floor after checking the registry on the first floor. He had hoped to find old friends there, and sure enough, he recognized one of the names: Genevieve, or "V" as she was known. She was on the fourth floor in room 9.

Normally Dmitri wouldn't be this bold to actively find someone, as he was generally a pretty reserved guy. But something was strange; he hadn't encountered anyone he knew yet and he was determined to change that if only to have some peace of mind.

He had traversed most of the hallway when he came to the door marked "9." He couldn't hear anyone inside, but that doesn't mean she isn't there; the list said she didn't have a roommate.

He knocks gently on the door. "V? It's me, Dmitri." He knew who she was; he never forgets. But he hoped dearly that she remembered him.

We have followed Dmitri as he checked the dormitory registry, and as he walked down the 4th floor. When he knocks on the door, the shot is of Genevieve's face, and the sudden flicker of her eyelids. But in this shot: The invisible suspension of ribbons and threads, luminous in the air, and waving as if there were a breeze, quivering as if there were a spider. They're all pale, except for those that are black, sooty, dirty, and those that are red.

Knock, knock. V? It's me, Dmitri.

The invisible suspension of ribbons and threads between her fingertips and webbed around the room dissipate as she stands. Takes a step through them; they fade, but don't effect her. They don't effect anybody, after all: and they're always around.

The door knob turns, and then the door opens. "Dmitri. Hi. It's been a while. When did you get back?"

Dmitri is suddenly caught off guard. V still looks much like he remembers her, although she seems a little off. Her voice still exhudes a golden aura but it seems duller than usual, and for a brief moment, her entire figure melts until she's a puddle on the floor. Dmitri steps back aghast as this happens, and blinks his eyes rapidly; slowly, V takes shape once more.

He struggles to find the words. "I...got back a few days ago. I haven't seen anyone I used to know so I decided to go looking for them." He pauses for a moment, a bit awkwardly. "So, I've found you." His own words feel clumsy, and they fall through his hands like silly putty. His whole body feels like silly putty.

The teenager simply regards Dmitri, the passage of a different expression through his eyes; he sees the world a different place, and, because of this, he's not always as closely guarded as he might wish to be.

But she doesn't say a word, the calm, collected girl; only tilts her head, a silent query, and listens as he regains his tongue.

When he's done, V leans back and (jingle, jangle) grabs her keys off of her desk. Then she locks her door, all wordless, and says, "Let's go for a walk."

The jangling of the kerys is surprisingly soothing; he feels a wave of relief wash over him. He nods, and leaves the building with V.
