Meeting Mia (RP for Creevon)
Mia Bevan snorted and wiped her nose with the back of her hand for what felt like the hundredth time that morning.
It wasn't terribly cold out, but her nose had been perpetually runny since she started living on the streets a few weeks ago - she wasn't sure if it was the poor diet or worse hygiene, but in the end it didn't matter - it's not like she could see a doctor and besides looking sickly and pathetic was good for panhandling!
Idly, she checked her Styrofoam cup again, but to her chagrin it still only held 30 cents. She knew she couldn't buy anything to eat with such a paltry sum so she just pulled her jacket around herself a bit more and wiped her nose again as she watched commuters pass, pretending not to see her.
She could tell that this was going to be a *long* day...
