They were heavy ones. Could they bounce? She dropped one, taking care not to drop it on her foot. It let off a resounding bang but didn't bounce much. Just a bit and not proper bouncing. Charlotte frowned at it for a moment then crouched down and scooped it up again. She could ROLL them instead then. Balls that didn't bounce could still roll!

She'd forgotten about where her mummy was too. She'd run off ahead and gone in the lift all by herself and ended up in this place that was different. But that was okay, her mummy would find her and she could see her granddad and she could play with the toys in here in the meantime.

Distracted. That was probably a good word for the way Mariel was feeling today. And she wouldn't exactly call it a good distraction, though she had hoped that at least trying to focus on her work would help with some of that. And maybe it was a little.

But the paperwork on her desk was tedious and she needed a break, a walk maybe, to clear her head. Though as soon as she started down the corridor, she thought that maybe it was a mistake. Her thoughts were getting the better of her and she needed them out. Now.

Still intent on taking that reprieve from work, the 28 year old glanced up to see the Game Room up ahead. Maybe that was an option. As she neared the door, she became acutely aware of bang. Now what was that? There were enough annoyingly strange things going on, she did not need one more.

The brunette peeked around the door, then stood in the doorway a moment. A child at play. Now that was not a regular occurrence to Level Seven and Mariel wondered for a moment if she was an escapee from the daycare. She watched the little girl play with the billiards ball for a moment, noting that the child looked remotely familiar, which struck her as odd not knowing many people with daughters that age.

Keeping her eyes on the girl, Mariel walked into the room. "Hello there." She gave the girl what she hoped would be a non-intimidating smile as she approached. "Want to play?" She racked up the balls on the table then peered down at the child. Though maybe it would be a better idea to find out where the kid had come from and where she belonged.

Oh.. was she Saxon's daughter? Mariel looked up to see her coworker in the room as well and gave her a nod. She didn't know she had kids. "Bring your daughter to work day?"
