On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night...
As the door to an old, salmon coloured building creaks open, a charming wood and red velvet. A huge winding staircase leads up into a seemingly endless hall of doors, each staggered left and right of one another. Each room is exactly the same, white bed sheets, a blue blanket and pillow on a small twin sized bed. A small white chair in the corner and a dresser to match it. All the mirrors are covered up with white sheets and the walls are painted a light blue with a white trim near the ceiling. Welcome the to the Hotel California. You can check out any time you'd like but you can never leave...
Character bio:
Name: Claudia Age: Unknown. Appears to be in her early teens. Appearence: Claudia stands at a pathetic 5'0 and has a feeble appearence. She seems old before her time, with long iron gray hair pulled up in a bun and dark circles under her icy gray eyes. Her skin is the sallow colour of parchment as if she'd never been exposed to the sun. She wears an ankle-length navy blue skirt and a light blue button-up top. Over that is a white aprin tied around her bony hips. Bio: Not much is known about Claudia. She has been at the Hotel the longest out of everyone and has taken it to be her job and home to take care of. She is apprehensive to meet new people and often is pushed aside and ignored as a mere child in adult matters.

Name: Holly Age: 17 Appearence: Holly is around 6' 0", and is self-conscious about her tall appearance. Holly has mid-length, slightly curly brown hair hair that barely brushes her shoulders, held back with a silk white ribbon. She has pale skin and a few freckles scattered around her cheeks. She wears a long, light-grey skirt with slightly frayed edges, and a black t-shirt over white sleeves.
Bio: Holly decided to take a quick road trip before she left for college. Her parents are middle-class, but a few of her aunts and uncles are quite well off. She has an older brother who left a few years back, without saying a word about where or why he was going. Part of the reason behind her sudden venture from home is her longing to find her beloved older brother.

Name: Selena Age: 18 Appearance: Selena is a total biker girl, leather and all. She has wavy red hair with silver highlights in it that falls just below her shoulders and hazel eyes. She wears a leather jacket with a green top that fits just right under neath. She has black heeled boots that end just above the ankles. Her pants were also black leather as was the choker she wore around her neck. her skin was tan, from riding in the sun for hours on end on her motorcycle. Bio: Selena is a high school drop out, but she dropped out to run away with her boyfriend of the time, not because she was stupid or into drugs. She rode with him for a couple of months, until he found a new girl and dropped her. By then she had her own bike and just drove off, going no where in particular. She is one of the newest arrivals to the Hotel and has no idea about the no leaving thing. She doesn't talk much about her past, but is still pretty friends if people aren't scared by her biker outfit first.

((Right then, I'll start us off. I just wanted to make sure people were going to join...))
The clock struck eight and Claudia looked up from her spot at the wall where she'd been scrubbing and then turned her face toward the door. There was always a visitor, at least one visitor, around this time of night. The road near the Hotel was an ideal place for a car to break down, especially since... She shook her head quickly and tightened her immaculate apron around her waist. She caught a glimpse of her grim reflection in the window and looked away quickly, not wanting to see herself; this shameful form and soul less creature that she'd become, that this place had turned her into. As if on cue, there came a gentle knocking at the door and Claudia floated over and spoke the grim words of her existence, "Welcome to the Hotel California; room for one?"

Serea walked in to her room after dinner and looked at the mirror she wanted to pull off that sheet but she had tried once and bad things happened. All she remember of it was trying to take the sheet off then an ice cold breeze came through the room and the next day she woke up on the couch down stairs the next day. She heard a knock downstairs. "oh my another one is going to get stuck her" there was nothing she could do. If she raced down stairs and tried to warn who ever came in, they would think she was crazy. So she crept over to the top of the stairs and listened to the conversation that was going on down stairs.

Selena waited outside the door for some one to answer. Her bike had ran out of gas and she had no where else to go. She knew she should have stopped at the last gas station. She looked at the girl that had opened the door. She was a little surprised by her appearance. Selena thought she looked as if she had walked out of one of those black and white movies. She quickly recovered. "Um, yea," She started answering the girls question. "My bike ran out of gas and I need a place to spend the night so I can take care of it in the morning." She followed the girl inside.

Claudia sighed softly and led the girl inside. "I think you will be very comfortable here, Miss, we've never had any complaints." the ghost of a smile touched her lips but quickly disappeared as she walked behind the main desk and held out the sign-in book to the new girl. "Just sign your name right there and I'll give you the key to the room. You'll be next to Serea, I do hope you enjoy company, she's a very sweet girl. I feel as if I've known her for years.." This, of course, was true. Serea had been trapped here for little over two years now. Claudia handed the new girl a pen and looked down at the desk, patiently.

Holly crept down the stairs, avoiding the second-to-last-step because it tended to squeak quite loudly. She looked around, and saw a strange girl waiting by the elevator. Holly was very surprised -- there hadn't been anyone new to the hotel since she had come to "live" here. The only 3 people were herself, Claudia, and Serea. She walked up to the new girl, smiling brightly. "Hello! May I help you carry your things upstairs?"
