Laura pushed the door open for Ebony, "Great, then! Do you want me to help you with those bags? You look as if your arms are going to fall off," Laura smiled as she tugged at one of Ebony's bags.

"Lemonade, please, coffee makes me hyper," Laura smiled as her blonde hair shimmered under the lights, "Gee, nice place you got here! Rent's expensive, isn't it?"

Name: Annalisa Vanderwald
Age: 21
Short Bio: Annalisa moved to Roanoke from her hometown in Colorado to go to college, but she dropped out after discovering a barrage of compounds in a poorly done experiment, and earning a PhD for it. At the moment she lives off grant money and is writing a novel. She tends to alternate between being very loud and obnoxious and being annoyingly blank and quiet in company, so she avoids it. Hence why she threw out the cruise invitation when she received it.
Occupation: Student, Writer

Headshot: Coming soon

((Thanks for joining, FurryPanda! I've added you to the survivors section, I'm assuming that is correct? You can RP now. =) ))

((OOC: Thank you, I am going to role-play first thing tomarrow. Its nearly midnight here, and I don't want to make a stupid post.))

((OOC: Yep))

Annalisa leaned back in her plushy chair and smiled broadly as she clicked her mouse a few times, then shut her laptop. She had been writing all night and had finally finished the article she was working on. Having finally sent the darned thing out, she could do something entertaining. She got up out of her chair and stretched, cat like, she had been sitting there since the previous afternoon, and today's was fast approaching.

She stumbled stiffly over to the kitchen to look for something to eat, she had left the dorms for a modest two bedroom house, she had thousands in grants and had no intention of doing any more science than she could help. She pulled open the refrigerator and swore explosively, nothing but peanut butter there.

Sighing gustily she changed into a slightly more flattering outfit, blue jeans and a punny Tshirt, and stepped outside, pulling her hair into a ponytail as she went. She didn't remeber when exactly she'd brushed it last, and didn't think it would be incredibly flattering for her to do without a restraint on her hair.

She grabbed a bit of cash and stepped outside to make her stiff and slightly creaky way to the supermarket. The walk would loosen her up, and she needed it, hence why she didn't drive.
((Approachable))

Laura took a few sips of her lemonade and sighed, "I really should start packing soon, for the cruise, so I should go now," Laura waved goodbye as she headed out of the house, "Going to the supermarket to buy some comfort food!"

Laura loved food, and she was slightly chubby. She stumbled her way to the supermarket to find a ponytailed girl. She seemed friendly, so Laura approached her.

"Haven't seen you 'round these parts! Welcome to Roanoke, town of the brave!" Laura made a gesture that looked as if she was pulling out a sword. The rolls of fat under her arm wobbled, "Would you like a tour of these parts?"

Annalisa blinked rapidly in the bright light of day and was thoroughly surprised to find another girl saying, "Haven't seen you 'round these parts! Welcome to Roanoke, town of the brave! Would you like a tour of these parts?"

"Oh, yeah thanks, I just moved here a couple weeks ago. There anywhere to get food around here? I'm starving." Anna thought back... she must not have eaten since lunch yesterday. Her eyes blanked out a bit as she thought about the foolishness that had her postpone the shopping until there was nothing but peanut butter in the house. She wandered forward dreamily, maybe she would get fast food before she did grocery shopping, there HAD to be a McDonald's somewhere and she had a sudden craving for greasy junk.

"Down the lane there's Puffs N' Pastries, the owners are really nice, they give me pastries for free, see?" Laura laughed as she patted her tummy, "They have really nice pies which goes nice with warm milk. Try the Rhubarb one! With love baked straight into the crust!" Laura hugged herself, "Deelish! Roanoke hardly has any junk food, only quaint little bakeries and cafes, which is good for people like me who don't need anymore weight!"

"Oh that sounds yummy." Anna smiled vaguely and wandered in the direction the other girl had indicated. She was already deciding to get a meat pie, something substantial would do her good she felt. The other girl had patted her stomacha nd Anna's nos ehad crinkled a little. She didn't mind people larger than she was, heck being five foot even that was practically everyone, but she didn't like ones that made a fuss over it.

"I haven't eaten for a while, got busy with my work, I hope there's some meat pie or chicken or something, I reckon I could eat a horse now." She smield slightly and giggled, her arm had jsut cracked loudly. She thought to herself, Ah well thats what you get for typing all night.

Laura smiled, "I'm glad I could help, but I really need to go to the grocery now, remember, it's down the lane!" Laura said as she fled to the bus stop, What a nice day, that girl was so sweet! she thought, Oh my pudding! The bus is here, she realized as she flagged down the bus.

The bus chair wobbled under Laura's weight, she shuffled through her bag for some change, Cheesecakes! I don't have small change, only a fifty dollar bill, she thought as she sat next to Ebony.

((UPDATED application with pic! Sorry for cr@ppy Body Shop pic.))

Ebony waved at Laura when she got off the bus, so Laura waved back.

Laura shuffled her feet until the bus finally reached the grocery - Glendale Grocery, the freshest produce anywhere! She shoved the doors and rushed to get her daily doughnut. Although Laura was a sweet girl, you wouldn't want to be near her if she didn't have her daily doughnut.

"Eh, Laura, doughnut today?" the cashier smiled, "That'll be 1.25, please."

"Don't have small change," Laura, drooling, mumbled, as she shoved the bill into his hands, "Will a 50 do?"

She soon recieved the change and the hospital was nearby and she thought she needed a workout, so she rushed to the hospital, still munching on her doughnut, to see whether she could help Ebony with anything.

Anna got onto the bus after the girl she'd been talking to but hesitated on the steps. There were at least five people on the bus, alot more than she was comfortable with. She stood for a moment than darted off to walk, it was only a couple of blocks away.

((Gone for the night))

Laura rushed into the hospital, with her sugar-coated fingers, asked "Can I help with anything? Oh...uhh...nevermind, I'll just back out now...."

Ebony got up and walked over to Laura with a grave face.
"A tourist crashed into Edith Peterson's car today, you know the old lady who is always watering her verge?"

"Ouch," Laura said, taking some tissues to wipe her fingers, "Is she alright?"
