Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Maggie smiles and rises to her feet again* Let me see what's there, then.

*She heads behind the bar again, rummaging around for a while. Most of the bar food doesn't look as though it would be very filling, but when she opens the refrigator she finds a plate of small sandwiches. She grabs that, and then a bottle of gatorade as well - she recognizes it from when she was sick, recalling that it's supposed to help people get better, faster*

Will this do? *she asks, returning to Luke at the table*

*Maggie tilts her head to look up at the void above them, a pensive look settling on her features* Truly, 'tis impossible te understand the workings of this place . ..

*Maggie looks back to him in time to catch the change in his expression. He looks pained . . . and even though her last attempt at asking after someone didn't go over so well, she can't just ignore this*

Luke . . ? *her tone is cautious, but concerned* What is it?

Oh, heavens! *Maggie braces herself against the table as she's nearly knocked over*

*She looks over to the newcomer as she regains her bearings, and summons up a polite smile to greet her* Oh ye needna apologize, 'tisna as though any o'us have any control o'er when the Brink brings us here.

I dinna believe we've met before . . . *she curtsies, as is her habit* My name is Margaret Dowling, though most here *she pauses, her smile flickering briefly, but quickly returning*... most here call me Maggie. *she motions to Luke* And this is Luke.

::Lilly smiles, but still blushing::

Nice to meet you.. :She bows, politely, and checks to see if the flower wreath is still on her head, finding it missing she looks puzzling::

Oh..I must haev dropped it in the forest..I..

""She realizes she is mumbling again and blushes deeply::

Sorry, My name is Lilly.

(thats okay, night night!)

::Lilly blinks, as Maggie is there one moment and then gone::

Ah..this place is so strange..

::She touches her head again, and presses her lips together::

::Lilly looks at Luke, trying to see inside his personality, but gives up when she realizes she doesn't have that power, or it seems any of her powers, in here::


My story?

::Lilly pauses for a second, thinks about the fresh bruises just above her chest and on her neck, and the healing scars, but decides to skip that story..::

Well, my story.. I was raised my gnomes. Though..I'm not a gnome. But I feel at home with them, and they named me Lilly, though I have no idea what my name was that my parents gave me, nor do I really remember them..

::She smiles bashfully::

And frankly, I don't feel all that safe here, in my world, I can hide myself from anyone seeing me..

::She pushes some stray strands of her red hair out of her eyes::

But, what's your story then..sir?

*Luke goes blank. His mouth parts open uselessly somewhere in the middle of Lilly telling her story.*

*He lost her somewhere at the gnomes part and was about a few questions to clear that up -- when she directed conversation away from herself.*

Me? I'm a college student.

*That's all Luke gets out... before he fades away.*

(G'night!)
