Welcome to Gaia! ::

Willow sat up straight, her hair falling perfectly around her naked shoulders and down to spread across the sheets, 'Odd' "Come on in" she half yawned, making no attempt to cover up her exposed upperhalf, although her hair did a decent job of that on its own.

Layla:
Your glimpse isn't as rewarding as normal this morning: while Xiao is not wearing underclothes, the skirt you left on her while she slept hides just enough to require you to crane your neck around to see anything worthwhile. After a moment, Xiao sits down like a cat.
"So, what's the plan for today?" she asks in a peppy voice.

Apollo:
"It's Mella," a female voice says. "May I come in?"
You can tell that this voice is, indeed, Mella.

Willow:
The door opens to reveal Lyriana, naked as usual with only her fur to cover her and half asleep. Her eyes are only partially open, as if she walked from her tower to yours practically blind.
"Morning," she yawns. "Sleep well?"
She leans against the door frame. You begin to wonder if she actually slept or not. You don't notice any sexuality to her movements, just sleepiness. She looks like she could just about collapse any second now.

Sand-Claw:
When you get to 3F, you can hear Mazurn rummaging around in his room. Perhaps he is feeling better today? Now that you can hear him, the tower is not so creepy. But yet the other floors remain quiet...

"I suppose" Willow replied, stretching a little, "But it seems you have not, did something happen while I was away?"

"Of course, you may enter." I say even though I'm not entirely dressed.

Nyx:
Just as you expected, Irene wakes up as you get up. She yawns and stretches like a cat.

Willow:
"Lud was hammering at something all night..." Lyriana replies sleepily. "I don't know how Talc and Stek can sleep through that noise..."

Sand-Claw:
The rustling stops. A moment later, the door opens to reveal Mazurn. He is shirtless, but otherwise decent.
"Hey," he grunts. "When'd you guys get back?"

Apollo:
Mella opens the door and trots in. She is nude, like normal, but her fur allows her to be considered decent enough for most villages and towns. You know that if she were to join the Mages' Guild, or even visit a capital city like Aerust, she would be required to at least put a robe on to be considered truly decent. She pauses just inside the door when she sees you still in bed.
"Did I come too early?" she asks. "I can come back later..."
You notice that she doesn't look away, just pauses her trotting and stands just inside the door, able to dash out if necessary.

Layla:
"Mmm...if it's anything like yesterday's Challenge, this one will likely be much harder, seeing as you have to beat the first to get to this one," Xiao says.
You can't help but smile at her pointing out the obvious.
"As for clothes...yes, I probably should find something better than dirty layabout clothes...probably my armor, huh? And you should get into your battle dress."

"You're not too early. Please, come inside." I say, beckoning to her.

'Hammering huh? Lud dear, what were you up to?' knowing that her rest was over she got up from the bed, strode overb to a chair where the clothes she had worn yesterday lay folded clean and neatly. What, can't a girl be organized. Slipping them on then adding the many trinkets and accessories, scarf aded on last, she checked herself in the mirror. "I must have gotten back after he stopped, anyway, have you any idea what todays plans are? no doubt something anoyingly heroic" this thought alone caused her to sigh.

Nyx:
"Morning," Irene replies. "Did you have fun yesterday? You were so tired last night, you didn't even tell me about what I missed while I was stuck here!"

Apollo:
Mella smiles and closes the door before trotting over to your bed and sitting next to you.
"Did you sleep well, Apollo?" she asks sweetly.

Sand-Claw:
"Hmph," Mazurn replies. "I can take 'em! Just a swing of my sword and done!"
He flexes his arm to show off his muscles.

Willow:
"No, I haven't the foggiest," Lyriana replies between yawns.

Layla:
Xiao comes over and grabs your corset.
"Turn around, missy," she commands.

Everyone:
Suddenly, a loud bell sounds repeatedly from the top of the third tower, where Lyriana's team resides. The NPCs, especially the felines and the sleepy Lyriana, jump in fright at the loud noise. Xiao jumps backwards, throwing the corset into the air as she does so; Irene scampers under the blankets; Lyriana cries out and falls to the ground, her eyes wide with terror; and Mella shrieks. You can all hear the wolf pack shouting angrily from the grounds around the castle but within the defensive wall, and a loud squawking coming from Talc's room. Lud and Stek are silent. Should you look out at the third tower, the reason for this becomes obvious: Lud is swinging his hammer at a bell that wasn't there last night while Stek watches, his hands over his ears.
