She's where?;;{{Shelby

[Riley Pearson]

It'd been a pretty slow day at the Mungo's. All I was bascially doing now, was walking around and checking up on my pateints. There had only been a few people in today on my floor and after getting them taken care of, it was abnormally slow.
Which is why, wanting something to do, I walked over to Liliah the receptionists desk and talked her into letting me look over the recent submissions.. who had checked in recently, that is. I was only on one floor, so I never much got the chance to check out the other ones. Not only that, but it was nice to know if someone I knew was here. Not that I wanted anyone here, but if they were, at least this way I could visit whoever it was.
As I was looking over the list, I saw Shelby's name. I raised my eyebrows and read the name again, trailing my finger over it and traveling it over to the right hand side to see what floor she was on.
Mental ward? I asked myself slightly surprised. I set the charts down, giving them back to the receptionist and thanked her with a small smile. She smiled back to me, a bit sheepishly actually and I made my way up to the fifth floor.
I walked over to the room she was in and slowly walked inside. The room had another bed in it but it was empty and the other had a curtain drawn around it.
"Shell?"

[ tis crap lo siento ]

[Shelby Crescent]

"Hmmm. If I put this here, then..."
Shell was playing with a deck of muggle playing cards for the past few hours, trying to stack them into little houses. It was starting to look a lot like a small village resembling Hogsmeade.

This morning Shell didn't even know any of childrens' names, who she really was or where she was. All she kept repeating was little phrases like 'Hmmm.' and 'That's interesting.' while walking around and looking at things as if she was a newborn baby learning how to walk and exploring her whereabouts for the first time. Obviously Isaiah knew something had finally cracked and checked Shelby in this morning.

"Who's Shell?" she called, opening the drape a little with a childlike grin on her face as she pulled the curtain open noticing some guy in her room. "Hmmm." she mumbles, actually tilting her head and staring at him before shrugging and going back to her card village with her head still tilted but her childlike grin re-plastered on her face again.

[Riley Pearson]

I saw the curtain open and I peered over to her, seeing some small cardhouses stacked on her bed. Which actually, funnily enough, quite resemlbled Hogsmeade, which was pretty cool. Either that, or I really needed to find something to keep myself occupied.
At her answer, I nodded faintly. That's just wonderful.. I thought to myself with a small sigh, walking closer to her. If she didn't know who she was, then I was assuming she didn't know who I was. But I also assumed that she had at least seen one healer since she'd been here, so she could probably guess that I was another one.
"You're Shell.." I said once I got a bit closer to her, leaning against the wall next to her bed, wondering just what was wrong with her. I walked over to the side of the bed and picked up her chart, looking over to her, waiting for her to answer, looking at the chart every once in a while.

[Shelby Crescent]

Looking up slightly, she pouts confused why another person in a white jacket thing was looking at her charts. They said they were hers, so why did they constantly take them from her and read over them. The next time she was alone Shell knew she was gonna look at them. They had to be something interesting if everyone wanted to see what was inside.

"I thought shell was a thing that was on a beach? Why would I be called a shell, unless I live on the beach or something... which would be odd. Is that odd for people to live on the beach? Do you live on the beach?" she asks in one breath before taking a deep one and smiling up at him again.

[Riley Pearson]

I looked back up to her when she started speaking, surprised by all the questions that she was throwing at me. I was really wondering what the hell happened to set something like this off. She seemed perfectly sane the last time I saw her... I think... Then again, I seemed to be terrible at noticing things like that.
I cracked a small smile at the topic of her questions and put her chart back where it was, seeing as it wasn't really helping me too much. I mean, it was obvious that she had lost her memory.. or something of the sort, and from what I skimmed, that's the gist of what her healer had written down.
I pulled up a chair next to her bed and sat down, trying to keep track of all the questions she asked me so I could answer them in order.
"Well, it is.. But you're name is Shelby.. I call you Shell for short... You don't live on the beach, I don't think really think it's odd for people to, and no, I don't live there." I told her smiling slightly back to her.
I didn't mind this Shelby. Was that completely terrible?

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell stares at him again, humming to herself. She tilts her head again once he sat down next to her and pursed her lips to the right side, before shaking her head. He's sort of cute... but he looked at my charts, which are mine... so I shouldn't like him. But he's cute... oh well.

"Ooooh, I get it now." She says with a grin. Did she really get it... probably not, but she wasn't going to tell him that. After all, why would a smart cute healer want to talk to her if she didn't understand simple things like beaches and shells?

"Shelby?" she asks in a slightly confused tone, "Someone said it was Rubalyn. Rubalyn Crescent... which to be seems like a childhood book character's name who has to find a wizard or something... Who would really name their child that... wait. Are you lying? Or is the other person in the white coat lying?" she asks as her eyes grow wide and sticks out her bottom lip as if he told her there was no Santa or nargles.

[Riley Pearson]

I smiled and nodded a bit, wondering if she actually understood that. I honestly couldn't tell whether or not she could, or if she was just lying so make me think she understood. Which was actually probably the case. I mean, she didn't remember anything, so why would that make sense? "Good." I said and smiled anyway. "But, um.. if you have any questions or anything.. feel free to ask, alright?"
"Oh," I started, shaking my head a little bit, "Sorry, no, your other healer wasn't lying.. that is your first name." I paused for a moment. How was I supposed to explain this? "Friends and family just call you Shelby, is all." I said with a small shrug, not being able to think of a better answer than that for the moment.

[Shelby Crescent]

She sighs and stares at him for second before looking at her card village. I wish you were more than a friend... but you just lied. Although I think I could overlook that...

Laughing to herself slightly, she bit her lip and shook her head again. "So my friends and family one day just said, 'Oh let's call you Shelby cause your name's like a name from a fictional character book?' That was nice of them to understand how embarrassing that has to be." Shell says with a grin again.

Glancing at him for a second again she purses her lips a little. "So, do you live here with the other white jacket people or do I know you somehow? Perhaps boyfriend or husband maybe?" she asks with a hopeful gleam in her eyes.

[Riley Pearson]

"Um.." I lauhed faintly and shook my head a bit. "Yeah, something like that. I don't know the reasoning behind it." I said with a small smile to her, shaking a few pieces of hair away from my face.

I looked back over to her at her question and raised my eyebrows faintly at what she said. Husband or boyfriend? Think I might be sick.. I thought to myself, catching the small gleam in her eyes, eventually giving a small laugh and smile, shaking my head. "No, don't live here.. only work here.. and sorry, we're not together." I said, looking over to her, being so distracted by that question, that I forgot about saying that I was her cousin. Maybe I do like the other Shelby better... and this's really weird...

[Shelby Crescent]

"Oookay then..." she says laughing slightly to herself. "What kind of family do I have that randomly call me Shelby for no apparent reason."

"Awww. Why not sweetums? You're so cute and adorable. Not to mention those curly blonde locks..." she says giving him a small wink before ignoring the rest of what he just said. "Wanna be together then love?"

[Riley Pearson]

I laughed faintly, "Um.. a weird one I guess." I said with a small shrug over to her, picking up her chart again, wanting to see if I missed something now that she seems to be attracted to me. Maybe she hit her head too.

I looked up to her again, making her to be standing a bit further away from her now. An eyebrow was slightly raised and at what she said, I went to open her charts and my hands fumbled them, dropping it to the floor with a slight clapping noise against the tiles.

I shook my head again. This was all very awkward. "No. We're cousins, Shelby. First cousins. I definitely think that's illegal." I told her picking up the charts again.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell tilts her head faintly before biting her lip. "Really... cousins? I guess we look alike. I haven't really even seen myself in a mirror so I didn't know. Sorry... am I pretty um. what's your name?" she asks tilting her head the other way now.

Hearing the chart drop she shoots him a glare slightly. "Hey, be careful those are mine."

[Riley Pearson]

"You can look for yourself." I said with a small smile and shrug, walking over to a cabinet and taking out a mirror for her, handing it over to her once I got close enough. "And I'm Riley.. Riley Pearson." I added with a faint smile to her.

"And these," I said holding up the charts, "don't belong to you. They're about you, but that's it." I said, shaking my head a little bit. "When you leave, they stay."

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell takes the mirror and looks at herself for a few seconds. "I guess I am. What do you think?" she asks again still staring at herself in the mirror. "Nice to meet you Riley again." she smiles up at him before frowning a bit for second. "Is that your real name like me really being Rubalyn?"

"What do they say?" she asks quickly biting her lip again as the nurse brought in her lunch for the day. Grinning down at the jello cup in front of her, she picks up her spoon and makes airplane noises as she played with the grape jello.

[Riley Pearson]

I nodded a bit, "Yeah, you're pretty." I said looking over to her as she stared at herself in the mirror. "You too." I added when she said that it was nice to meet me.. again.
I nodded at her second question. "No, it's my real name.." I told her with a small shrug.

"Honeslty, they don't say too much.. Don't worry about it." I said, shaking my head. I watched as the nurse brought in her lunch. I was pretty sure that she was new, becuase I didn't really remember seeing her around much. I smiled toward her a bit and small wave.
She smiled back, I swear, blushing a little bit, but probably just my imagination before leaving the room.

I heard Shelby and laughed a little bit, looking over to her as she made airplane noises.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell smiles at him lightly as she watched the nurse blush as Riley waved at her. Once she was gone Shell grins ear to ear. "Ooooh. Riley's a ladies man." she says with a wink before repeating the airplane noises and finally having her first bite of the jello.

"So umm. Tell me about myself... like do I have a husband? Family? Anything like that?" she asks before letting out a dinosaur roar as she started to play with her teddy grahams as if they were married and making them talk about shoes and the color pink.

[Riley Pearson]

I laughed a little, shaking my head as I looked back down at her charts, turning the page. "No.. I'm not a ladies man." I said with a small smile. "I'm sure I'm far from it." That thought was funny to me. I never saw myself that way.

"Um.. yeah.. you're married.. but he's away right now.. and you have a ton of kids." I said, starting off with a small nod. "And you love Quidditch.. actually played for a team for a while.. and you like yellow and blue." I added, before sitting back down.

[Shelby Crescent]

"Well by the looks of it, it seems that you are. I'm sure that you have the nurses here wrapped around your fingers." she says with a small giggle as she continued to watch the teddy grahams as she thought of what he said.

"Ton? Like five?" she asks before frowning a bit at the news of her supposedly husband. She glanced down at her left ring finger and noticed it was bare. That didn't make any sense to her right now. "Quidditch? I played? What's that?" she asks letting out another sigh. "I hate this. I know nothing about everything..."

[Riley Pearson]

I shrugged a little bit with a small laugh and smile. "Maybe that one.. and maybe the receptionst... but I think that's it.." I said with a small shrug, blushing very faintly, but not much, as Shelby played with her teddy grahams.

"More like ten.. or eleven, or something." I said, shaking my head a little bit. "I lost track, honestly.." I admitted to her with a small shrug. "It's a sport and you played professionally for a bit." I told her, not wanting to go into all the details of it.
I nodded. "I know what you mean.. I lost my memory for a bit.. it gets easier.. it sucks, but I mean, hey, can't do much about it."

[Shelby Crescent]

"And maybe the whole woman population." she says watching Riley blush a little before eating the teddy grahams.

"Wow. That's a lot." she says with a faint nervous laugh. "I was thinking I would just have one daughter... name her Serenity. I love that name." she says with a smile before tilting her head a bit. "I sound sorta cool..." Shell says blushing a little herself. "So what is a healer? I've heard of nurses and doctors I think but never healers. Where am I?"

[Riley Pearson]

I laughed a little and shook my head again. "No, not the whole women population." I said with a small smile, Definitely not Arden at least... ".. maybe most of it." I joked with a faint shrug.

I smiled and nodded. "And you did.. you just didn't stop after her." I said with a small shrug. "Oh, well, a healer is basically the same thing as a doctor." I said with a small shrug. "You're at Mungos.. magical healing." I said with a faint nod, before deciding it was a bit dark in here and moving the curtains open with magic.

[Shelby Crescent]

"See? You are a ladies man." she says with a smile before her smile disappeared quickly. "Arden? Who's that?" Shell asks as if he really did say aloud his Arden comment.

Shell laughs a little bit before frowning the same as before. "Mag... Whoa!" she says loudly as her eyes nearly popped out of her skull. "How in the world did you do that?"

[Riley Pearson]

I shook my head. "I was kidding." I said with a small chuckle. "Or maybe I am and I'm just too thick to notice." I looked over to her, frowning slightly at what she said next. So I either said that aloud or she can hear my thoughts and she didn't even know it. Probably the case, actually. I sighed slightly and shrugged. "She's my best friend." I said with a small nod.

I smiled and laughed a little bit. So I guess she couldn't remember that either. Are they sure she should be in the mental ward? "Like I said." I said with a small smile. "Magic." I added with a small shrug. "You can do it too.. you just can't remember."

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell shrugs a little before laughing a little herself. "I think it's the second thing you said." she says sarcastically before nodding faintly. "Didn't sound like just a friend." she says with a weak smile tracing her lips.

"Really? I'm a wizard? Warlock? Witch?" she says at once before shaking her curls a bit. "Can I try something like opening those curtains?"

[Riley Pearson]

"I'm not sure how you meant that." I said with a small chuckle. It sounded sarcastic and sarcasm with what she sad just didn't make sense to me. So that meant she thought it was the first one? "She wasn't.. for a little bit.. but she changed her mind." I said with a faint shrug. Chose someone else..

"You're a witch." I said with a small smile. "And yeah, go for it."

[Shelby Crescent]

"I mean... never mind. Not that important love." she says with a nod before hearing his other thought. Poor guy. I wonder if he has any kids or anything else besides his job and this Arden girl.

"That's not weird at all..." she says sarcastically before looking around a bit. "What do I do? Say magic words, wave a stick? Maybe cross my arms and nod my head?" she asks with a childish laugh escaping her.

[Riley Pearson]

I nodded a little bit. "Alright." I said, just deciding to leave it at that. I didn't know what else to add to it so I just shrugged a little bit.

I shrugged a little with a small laugh. "It's not actually... not around here.. Well.. I think I'd just suggest what you told me when I couldn't remember.. just concentrate on it opening."

[Shelby Crescent]

"Okay then. Concentrate..." she says to herself before closing her eyes. In the matter of a few seconds she winces her eyes slightly at the curtains only resulting in them getting pulled right off of the rod and into the floor. Shell's jaw drops instantly as she stares at the fabric now in the floor. "I'm so sorry! Do I always do that?" she asks pushing her tray aside to get out of bed and pick of the curtains.

[Riley Pearson]

I laughed a little and shook my head. "No, not normally." I said, smiling a little bit and shaking my head agaain. "It's alright. You don't have to get up." I told her holding my hand out so she would stay in bed. "I got it." I said taking out my wand and repairing the curtain, and then starting to put it back up on the rods.

[Shelby Crescent]

"You sure I don't?" she asks before pulling her tray back and watching him easily repair the curtains and the curtain rods. "Like I said I'm terribly sorry Riley." she says with a nod before biting her lip. "Do we get along well before whatever has happened to me or not?"
