Welcome to Gaia! ::

She had never thought of trying to bring plants from (or anything, for that matter) from Other Ashdown into regular Ashdown. "You could try, I suppose," she said, blinking some at the idea. Would it work? Would the denizens of the peculiar world even allow such a thing? And if so, what repercussions would it have on their world? Probably not very good ones, in all honesty.

"It's just a vine, sadly, " Asiya murmured upon getting a closer look. From the looks of things, there wasn't a way down from up where they were. Dang -- that really sucked! "I could try to use magic to get us down," she offered, but then went on to add "Though doing so is probably ill-advised, and would take a lot of energy." At the thought of expending too much energy on magic, Asiya's thoughts immediately went to her encounter with Unspoken that she had with Erin. She had used too much magic there, and it had cost her.

If what Autumn said about the house was true, and if it was trying to get them, she did not want to use up her energy in one go. "Perhaps we should explore another room. I imagine we'll find a way down to the first floor of the greenhouse later. We'll need to save our energy for the rest of the house, anyway..." As she said this, Asiya then turned and headed back in the direction that they came when they first entered the greenhouse. There were plenty of other doors to explore, and it would be interesting to see what else they could find.

"I suppose," she said hesitantly. "-we could jump?" And possibly break a leg or both or an arm or find there was no door down there whatsoever. Temperance smoothed a strand of hair behind one ear. The nurse inside her said no, but the flighty girl inside her said yes. "Ah, wait, there's magic?" Millie had mentioned that before, but Temperance had rather thought it was the wishy washy sort of magic in a young girl's heart, etc.

She followed Asiya, though, the practical nurse side winning out. Before leaving, she picked up the tiniest potted plant - the flowers were a beautiful pale pink - and carefully secreted it in her backpack. Temperance wanted to test something. Standing near Asiya, she tried not to loom over the girl as they looked at the door.

"W-which one?"

Chris was a little late to join a group to look around, mostly bothered by the fact that Autumn was a ghost and floating and... basically this was all a disaster. When he stopped running through his thoughts and listening to her, he realized he was quite alone in the main room.

Or he was, until he noticed Jeremiah and Algie again. He gave a bit of a jog over, not saying anything, just tagging along with the men to wherever to go next. It was not safe to be alone here.

On the first floor, to the right of the group (looking out from the library), there is a hallway with two doors. One of them is covered in five elaborate locks, gold lining all of them and needlessly ornate. The door is a rich oaken red, and this must be the room where Autumn's true body is hidden.

Across the hall, there is a plainer door. However, there is a sign on it- Do Not Disturb. This must be the room where the spirit of Autumn is trying to keep the house together. If one listens closely, inside there are the faint sounds of murmuring in hushed tones. Best not to disturb her.

But here, in the middle, there is the first floor entrance to the greenhouse. They may enter through the present door, if they so desire.

The first key is slipped into Jeremiah's pocket and when they come out of the library, he nods towards Chris.

"Come along, Watts," he says - and it may just be Jeremiah being ornery, but he defintiely may be referencing Doctor Who on purpose. His attention flicked to Algie as they move around and find the entrance to the green house.

"Aside from the other choices that aren't really choices, this looks like the only place." His fingers went to the handle, a deep breath taken because again he was on edge. That danger sense of his was like pinpricks along his skin.

"Shall we?" There was a sardonic smirk on his face. As if they really had any other choice.

"W-well, a WC is just a bathroom, right? Unless you need to go, it's not pressing..." She jerked her head towards the water closet in question. The regular closet, which could be a closet or a connecting door or a damn way to get to Narnia, Temperance didn't know, was more interesting.

She made a little shooing motion with her hands, coming closer to the door as well. Temperance glanced at the big bed, wondering what it must be like to roll around on that every night. It was big enough for three people! She flushed a little and pointedly looked away.

The bottom floor of the garden seems more organized chaos than the methodical planters of the second floor. The floor is no floor at all, but is instead, soil. Rich and musky, it smells like you're outside in the forest. In the middle of the room, three great trees spiral upwards, intertwined to make a hollow between the three of them. Assorted flower bushes grow around the room, all sorts of varieties and colors. Also amongst the rich mulch are mushrooms, grown in beautiful rings around the room, all of them various sizes and colors. Fantastical, really. Almost as if they shouldn't exist.

The group may explore, if they so desire.

Asiya frowned some, clearly disappointed at the lack of anything aside from clothes. Her mood brightened, however, at the sight of Erin, and she waved happily to her friend. "I'm glad you caught up," she told her before moving back to the door.

As Temperance had stated before, the bathroom was probably just a bathroom. "Shall we go check out the animal door?" She really wanted to see what was behind it, and she made her way back out to the hall to look at it again.
