The epitome of family dysfunction, this decently-sized house (courtesy of those who left it derelict) is the designated residence of the Sokolovs. They are, in the minds of the community, a smiling, happy, idyllic family of six. Unfortunately, that couldn't be more erroneous - it's merely a facade, really. In reality, they are very unstable and things are not happy, much less smiling. Although, nobody ever seems to observe that the windows are always latched, the curtains drawn tight, and the door locked and bolted. If one listens, they may get the Dollhouse vibe.

Clara sat in the living room, the sky outside pitch black with night and the living room dimly lit by one lamp. She stared blankly at the wall, barely hearing the two voices coming from the hallway.

She can't sleep because of constant headaches and, of course, her stomach hurts because her last real meal was months ago. She observes herself in a nearby mirror, and her face scrunches up in disgust at what she's looking at and reminds herself why she's going through all the pain.

Svyat watched his sister with a smile. "Hey, Zhanna. You look amazing, by the way. How's EESM working out for you?"

At the presence of someone, the disgusted look on her face slowly shifts into a cocky grin. "Thank you," she says, "And EESM is fine. I've already made friends and I'm fitting in quite nicel – Wait." She walks closer to him. "Cheering Charm?"

He shook his head. "Clara removed that earlier. I'm just in a better mood than I normally am, that's all. He's eating a cookie that he stole from the kitchen earlier.

"Good." she remarks, wondering how she can do that. She wouldn't dare ask Clara for help, but she wants to be able to help Svyat. When she sees Svyat eating she bites her lip hard enough to draw blood. "Midnight snack?"
SvyatoslavBoyanova Fifth Year • The Boy of Two Faces -"Picture, Picture, smile for the picture..." – 22:08, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
He nodded. "Yeah, cookies are my favourite." He pauses. "Kask, huh? I'm Boyanova, same as Vsev."

"Yes, I am. I was hoping to be in Boyanova, though." she says, because then the three of them would be all in one house without her sister. "But Kask was my second choice."
SvyatoslavBoyanova Fifth Year • The Boy of Two Faces -"Picture, Picture, smile for the picture..." – 22:21, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
"Who doesn't want to be in Boyanova?" He asks, because he is biased - it is his house, after all. "Mumiya went to Durmstrang, and we don't see Papa much, so I don't think they have a favourite."
Zhanna SokolovaThe Perfect Girl • 4th Year, Kask -"I don't care what you think unless it is about me." ~Kurt Cobain – 22:33, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
Walking closer and closer to the living room, she asks, "What are you doing up so late?"
SvyatoslavBoyanova Fifth Year • The Boy of Two Faces -"Picture, Picture, smile for the picture..." – 22:46, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
"Insomnia," he reminds her with an indifferent shrug.

Her head pounding as a combination from lack of food and lack of sleep, she smiles half-heartedly. "Sorry, must've forgotten." She leans against the wall.

He sighs. "It's not hard to forget. I forget myself sometimes."

Her head spinning, she barely hears Svyat at all and collapses on the floor. She closes her eyes for a couple of seconds, then she tries to blink to keep the dark spots from invading her vision. After a while, she supports herself with a nearby desk and tries to stand. "I'm fine," she breathes, "I'm fine."
SvyatoslavBoyanova Fifth Year • The Boy of Two Faces -"Picture, Picture, smile for the picture..." – 23:20, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
"Well, you aren't, you just collapsed," he pointed out.

Thanks for stating the obvious. she thinks, "Really. I'm fine." she says. She stands and walks with the desk as her support, still leaning on it a bit. "I think I'll be in Vsev's room for a while," she tries finding an escape out of the conversation.
SvyatoslavBoyanova Fifth Year • The Boy of Two Faces -"Picture, Picture, smile for the picture..." – 23:27, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
"Stairs - not a good idea," he reminds her. "Okay, what's going on? Something has to be, for you to just collapse. I mean, you aren't epileptic."
Zhanna SokolovaThe Perfect Girl • 4th Year, Kask -"I don't care what you think unless it is about me." ~Kurt Cobain – 23:33, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
"Quiet." she hisses, "I believe your favorite sister is eavesdropping in the living room." She tries going up the stairs anyway, gripping the railing tight.

"Oh come on, I don't play favourites," he days, going up the stairs behind her just in case she fell.

She stops at a turn, breathing heavily, closing her eyes, trying to get upstairs. She enters her room, knowing that Svyat is going to follow her. When he does, she shuts the door.

Sitting on a chair in front of her dresser, her head in her hands, she asks, "Think you can keep a secret?"
SvyatoslavBoyanova Fifth Year • The Boy of Two Faces -"Picture, Picture, smile for the picture..." – 10:25, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
"Yeah, I can." He replied with a nod. "I can keep a secret, if you want me to."

She takes a deep breath before clearing her head. She stands up and plasters a fake smile, before lying, "I haven't been sleeping either." she lies, deciding this is the best thing to do. "I keep on getting these nightmares, which was why I was awake earlier. Must be why I'm so sleepy."
SvyatoslavBoyanova Fifth Year • The Boy of Two Faces -"Picture, Picture, smile for the picture..." – 13:06, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
"I know the feeling," he replies. "I'm very tired too...haven't slept in ages."

Glad that he bought the lie, she sits down on her bed. "Just close your eyes and think happy thoughts." she says dryly, repeating the words her roommates at Beauxbatons used to tell her.

"You know as well as I do that that doesn't work, Zhanna." he said with a wan smile. "But Mumiya never stops suggesting it." He pauses. "Want a cookie?" he asks. "There are loads more, and otherwise I'll probably end up eating them all.

She eyes it for a second, before shaking her head. Hunger hurts but starving works. "No thanks."
