Welcome to Gaia! ::

*She moves unsteadily to the bar, and leans against the end of it. Her voice is slightly louder and unshaking as she speaks this time.*

"I'm alright for the most part. I should be fine in a few days."

*She glances around hoping her voice and face don't convey her thoughts.*


*Turning her attention to the gentleman, she nods.*

"Aye, that you can. The rent is ten gold a night, and sixty-five for a week."

((Sorry, I had to look up Aykon's room descriptions. I misplaced mine. mad And I made a typo in that last post, it's sixty-five, not sixty. You can send a trade to me.))

"Sounds good. We do have a rule that you must remove your shoes before you go upstairs though. I trust that won't be a problem?"

((You forgot to add the gold. Also, pretend I took my shoes off my avy. For whatever reason I have an issue with the 'my stuff' page not loading on my computer for me to change the clothes.))

*Nikki takes the pouch and returns your smile. As she moves she tries her best not to show how she is feeling. She heads over to the stairs, slips off her shoes, and waits for you to do the same before continuing up. As soon as you step on the first stair you see why no shoes are allowed upstairs. The tatami carpeting is so soft, you sink into it as you step on it. Once you reach the top of the stairs you stand on a landing, to the right is a long hallway with rooms leading all the way to the end, each has a number starting with 2. To the left is a door with a red cross on it. And straight ahead is another flight of stairs.*

"This way, please."

*She walks over to the fourth door on the left, and pulling her keyring from her pocket, she unlocks the door with a key imprinted with the number "204" She stands back and waits for you to enter the room.*

((Also, if my room number isn't right, or something is wrong in my descriptions, please let me know Dave.))

*Nikki follows you into the room, and pauses until you've looked around. The room has even softer tatami than the rest of the hall leading up to it. Once you step in to the room, your feet sink into the carpet. One might lose their balance if not used to the feeling. In the middle of the room is a large square bed approximately 3 feet above the ground with wooden steps bulit around it, the bed is approximately the size of a full size bed but
is made of a feather white looking tatami.*

*At each corner of the bed there is a small wooden post about a foot square made out of a rich tan looking wood that is uniquely finished with an appearance of lines running from top to bottom. At the foot of the bed is a small chest built into the foor which contains some extra bed clothes and pillows.*

*Directly across from the door on the other side of the bed is a large set of doors leading to a patio, the frame of the door is made of the same high quality, light-colored wood that frames out beautifully etched glass. The glass squares have a beautiful image of a babbling brook with rock facades to the sides of it and a dove flying over head. Each pane has the same image with slight differences in each*

*In the right corner of the room, close to the wall is a simple desk with a sleigh-bottom chair pulled up under it. The desk contains a mirror on the back, a few miscellaneous "get ready" items such as a brush and mouthwash*

*She laughs softly and walks over to the left side of the room, and opens the bathroomdoor.*

"Of course there is."

*The crowning achievemnt of this room is the large bath tub...or rather spa, the tub is approximately 8 feet in diamter and carved of pure white granite blocks. The fixtures in the tub are that of a woman and her baby, each holding a pot. The woman's pot is under her arm and turned to face the basin and the child's is falling off of his head at the basin. Each figure appears to be about 2 feet tall and etched out of highly polished silver*

*The rest of the facility is realitvely simple with a latrine made out of the ivory, a stand-up sink and mirror and a fine wood floor that comes off of the tatami in the bathroom.*

((I hope that's correct for this room. I only found the description for Rhodes' room.))

*She steps forward as she slips a key off the ring and hands it to you.*

"You get one that is to be returned once your stay is done, Aykon has one, and I keep one."

"Sleep well and sweet dreams."

*She bows slightly and exits the room, closing the door behind her. Once she's out in the hallway she barely makes it three steps before she has to lean against the wall, and she slips down to a seated position on the carpet, resting her head in her hands.*

*After some time has passed Nikki slowly gets up and totters toward the steps. Feeling as if she'll fall again though, she slides to the floor once again, between the first and second doors.*

((She can heal most things, but it drains her energy, depending on how bad the wound is. This is more of something sucking out energy... something that most likely wouldn't be fixed by most people.))
