Welcome to Gaia! ::

::Lilly walks down the hallway and goes into her room and locks the door, and walks up to the stream in her room and sits down by it::

I don't understand it..wings? How can that be possible?



::She sighs and looks around for any sort of human clothes there might be so she can go back to the main room and not bother anyone, as she left her leaf top in the room there. She wanders through the trees and sees a four poster bed in the middle, with velvet sheets and curtains::

Oh..how lovely..

::Near the bed is a rack with a few silk robes on it, and she chooses the white one and wraps it around herself, pulling the leaf skirt off. It feels soft and cool on her skin and she feels calmer, somehow, now. She notices a large gold bath tub to the right of the bed and thinks how nice it would be to take a bath, but then thinks of all the people in the brink, and her curiosities get the better of her. She grins to herself and leaves her room, locking it as she shuts the door::



Exit Lilly to main room/ bar

**Enter Maggie from Main, 532**

*Maggie walks slowly down the hall from the main room, clutching her key in her hand. She stops outside her door and fits the key in the lock, stepping through and closing the door behind her. Once it's shut, she leans against it, sliding down to the floor, drawing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them*

*She stares out in front of her for a moment in silence, then lowers her head and just lets herself cry*

*As he passes down the hall he pauses outside Maggie's door. He reaches a hand out and rests it against the door.*

*After a moment, he removes his hand and walks back to the main room*

** Exit Bard to Main Room 541 **

:::Cora's eyes blink open. She stays very still for a moment, thinking that she is in her own world, and in her own bed still. She stirs a little as she releases a breath. Everything was so blury. Last she remembered, she was at her station, when she started dreaming...but how did she get in bed?

She rolled over, and sat up, her feet on the floor, as she looked down at herself. And why did I not change out of my suit to go to bed. She groaned:::

MMmnf... what time is it?

:::When she looked over to where her time mechanism was usually situated, she saw that it was not there, just as it used to be in the brink. It hit her then suddenly, and darted up from her seat:::

:::Without a word, she ran to her door and slid it open, to reveal a halway of nothingness. She gasped, and ran straight for the main room:::

*Exit Cora to Main pg 543*

*he stradels the chair and crosses his atrms over the top of its metal back..... and once again the echo's of his fathers voice fill his ears as he sings softly over her sleeping form*


"The week before Easter, th'morn bright and clear
The sun it shone brightly and keen blowed the air
I went to the forest t'gather fine flowers
But the forest would give me no roses.

Th'roses are red, love, and th'leaves they are green
Th'bushes and th'briars are a pleasure t'be seen
And th'small birds are singin' and rangin' their notes
All among th'wild beasts in th'forest.

Now th'first time I saw m'love, she was dressed all in white
In robes of white linen, fair dazzled m'sight
And I thought to m'self, well, I might have been that man
But she's goin' t'be wed to another.

And th'next time I saw m'love, she did in the church stand
With a ring on her finger, and a glove in her hand
And I thought to m'self, well, I might have been that man
But she's gone and she's wed to another.

And th'parson that married them, aloud he did cry,
All you that forbid it, I'd have you stand nigh
And I thought t'm'self, I've a good reason why
But I had not th'heart to forbid it

And th'last time I saw m'love, she was sat down t'dine
Well, I sat down beside her and I poured out the wine
And I drank to th'lassie that should have been mine
But she's gone and she's wed to another.

Th'men in yon forest, they're askin' me
"How many wild strawberries grow in th'salt sea?"
And I ask it them back with a tear in my eye
"How many dark ships in the forest?"

Go and dig me a grave, dig it long, wide and deep
Aye, and cover it o'er with flowers so sweet
So I can lie down there and take a long sleep
And that's th'best way to forget her."

*as his voice fades out he too begins to fade..... he smiles softly at her.... and is gone...*

*Luana never really slept while she was in room 5, but it felt goood to be inside a pile of pillows and blankets, and it was nice and quiet. At least, she doesn't think she has slept. She gets up and carries one of the pillows with her, as if she might suddenly decide to go back to sleep while walking down the hall. She leaves her shoes by her pile of pillows and goes back out to the main room.*

**Exit Luana to Main Room 565**

*Luana, fairly certain that she is in fact asleep at her desk and only dreaming about this room, falls asleep as soon as Janani lays her on the bed. Most of her other writing utensils lay scattered in the main room, but the black pen is still behind her ear.*

*Luana fades out while she sleeps, leaving only chalk dust and wrinkle sheets behind on Janani's bed.*

**Exit Luana**
