Off To Work (Zelia Vignette)

[sub]In Character Date & Time: 17th November UUY 1,
Approximately 7-8 AM[/sub]
[hr]
Beep, beep, beep
Zelia's alarm on her phone went off, startling the monster. She
shot up off of her couch, where she had been dozing while
watching some comedy, and dashed to her room. Looking around
quickly, she spotted her uniform for Espresso Yourself and
pulled on the pressed white polo and black dress pants. It took
her a few minutes to find her apron, but she finally saw it
hanging by the door. Zelia speed-walked back to her living room,
smoothing out the wrinkles of her shirt as she went. She stopped
suddenly and looked around the small apartment room. Now where
did I put my shoes...? She cut her thought off abruptly,
blinking. Wait, I don't wear shoes.
The young monster was aware that she had a tendency to forget
the simplest things, and, if she was being honest with herself,
she didn't know what to do to fix it. Shaking her head at her
forgetfulness, she grabbed the keys for her apartment. Before
she left her room, she flicked off the lights and locked the
door.
Zelia descended the steps, which weren't very long because her
home was only on the second floor. She waved to the few other
monsters that she recognized, but she tried to keep her head
down for the most part. Even though she loved seeing monsters
and talking to them, today she tried to avoid them...she knew
that she was going to be late for work yet again.

Almost as soon as she turned the corner at the edge of her
apartment complex, Zelia's sister, Dylcia, sent her a text
message. Zelia pulled her small phone out and looked at the
message.
>>Hey, have you left yet?
Zelia sighed as she typed out her response. Her sister was
always worrying about her, and Zelia was glad for that. Lately,
Dylcia had been checking on her constantly, and it was starting
to become annoying.
>>Yeah, I just did. And, before you ask, I remembered to turn
off the lights.
>>Good. I'm clocking out now. You'd better hurry, the Boss said
if you were late again he'd cut your pay.
>>I should probably go then, I'll talk to you when I get home.
Love ya.
>>Love ya sis, ttyl.
Zelia shut off her phone and scurried down the road. She had
about thirty minutes before she had to clock in, and it took her
almost fifteen minutes just to walk there. That is, if she
didn't get distracted. She picked up her pace as she walked down
the road. Zelia looked around at the familiar buildings and she
could almost hear her sister scolding her and telling her to
hurry up. She shook her head in an attempt to help herself to
focus on getting to work.
Finally, she reached the end of Gravelshire and proceeded onto a
shortcut through Waterfall. Zelia had twenty minutes to get to
Espresso Yourself.

Zelia trotted down the worn path and had a sudden pang of pride
for getting this far on her walk without getting distracted. She
smiled slightly and sniffed the cool air. It smelled like it
always did: earthy with a fresher smell that came from the
glowing mushrooms. She paused and leaned down to pick one up. It
was something that she usually did whenever she took this path.
Zelia held the mushroom up in front of her and looked into the
blue-green glowing that was coming off of it. It lit up a small
area around her as she walked along. She didn't even realize
that she had slackened her pace. Zelia slowed down even more,
mesmerized by the small mushroom. She loved to watch the glowing
spores slowly die out after she had picked the mushroom from the
ground. Sure enough, the spores were becoming dimmer and dimmer.
As a sudden thought came to her mind, Zelia turned to the side
of the road and tried to plant the little mushroom back into the
ground. She knelt beside it and wondered whether it would grow
back or not. She made a mental note to check on it the next
day...if she remembered.
Zelia leapt up from the ground. Speaking of remembering, she had
forgotten that she was supposed to be going to work. She pulled
out her phone and checked the time. Groaning, she realized that
she had spent almost ten minutes looking at a mushroom. A
mushroom! Grumbling to herself under her breath, she sprinted
down the path until she reached Snowdin.
