Welcome to Gaia! ::

Layla:
"Mmm...I think this ale is getting to me," Xiao replies.
You notice that she's nearly drained the whole mug. She slumps back against her chair.

Willow:
When you enter, everyone grows quiet.
"Hey, you're one of the heroes what killed the Reds yesterday!" the bartender exclaims.
Suddenly, everyone is cheering for you and offering to buy you a drink. The bartender is ready to pour whatever you like.

Nyx:
The ale is strong and hits your taste buds like a bullet train: hard, fast, and strong. It's got a good taste, but a heavy hit.

Willow was speechless for a moment, no one had ever treated her like this, it didn't make sense.
Thinking back to how other people had reacted in the past, so smiling as nicely as she could she accepted several peoples offers and sat herself at the bar and listened to the people around her.

Nyx:
Lud looks at the ale still in the mug for a moment before shrugging.
"Yer choice," he says.

Willow:
"What would you like?" the bartender asks. "On the house."
"Hey, what did they look like?" someone asks. "The Reds, I mean?"
"What kind of powers do you have?" a second person asks.
"What's your name?" a woman asks.

Layla:
"Yes please..." Xiao murmurs.
You can't help but feel that this is part of a greater scheme, now that you think about it.

I watch as Layla carries Xiao off bridal style. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go hurl... for a non-alcohol related reason." I decide to go back to the town that we were in before the challenge. Maybe the bar has a drink that won't hit me as hard.

Layla:
"I've never had dwarven ale before..." Xiao murmurs.
It doesn't take you long to arrive at your room. She curls up, just about to fall asleep.

Nyx:
When you arrive, you find that Linwald is very much alive, and the bar especially so.

Sand-Claw:
"A spikey fruit and a weight on a string?" Lud says. "What'll you make with tha'?"

Everyone:
We can time skip to Day Four any time.

"I don't know yet, but I bet it might make a good party trick!" I say cheerfully.

//Advance

Nyx:
You receive a glass of wine.

Sand-Claw:
Lud nods, mildly interested.

Layla:
"No, I'm fine," Xiao replies with a yawn.

Everyone:
At about eight at night, everyone heads off to bed.



Willow:
You wake up to a knock at your door.

Layla:
You wake up to find Xiao stretching like a cat, still on the bed and still facing the stained glass window on the north end of the room, opposite the stairs out of the room.

Apollo:
You wake up to a knock at your door.

Nyx:
You wake up to find Irene still asleep in your arms.

Sand-Claw:
You wake up to a quiet East Tower. You can't hear anyone, even Mazurn below you. Kind of creepy, really.

Everyone:
It is 6:00 A.M. on May 3, 1313 AAC (2132 AD in the real world). You have spent ninety-five hours in the game. You have twenty-eight days and one hour to escape the game.
As a note, Mazurn's player has indicated that he still is unable to RP at this time, due to limited access to reliable internet. I would like a recommendation: should I bot him for the time being so that he's not just a useless lump, or should I just leave him be? Or remove him?

I sit up in bed and look at the door. "Who is it?" I ask.
