Cyseal, Sunday Evening

[endsthegame]

There were many universes where the locals had never even heard of a portal, let alone seen one; Rivellon was not one of them. When Fandom's portal lit up, it was in broad starlight, on a specially-prepared pedestal not far from the King Crab Inn. The portal would remain, permanently locked in its place, for the duration of their stay and then some - much like several others that dotted around the landscape.

They were met at the portal by a representative of the Inn, and a small white tomcat, who watched them curiously before skittering off.

The telepathic among you might have even heard it mumbling something along the lines of, "How curious!"

It was too dark out for a proper tour, though, so the guests were swiftly escorted to the warmth of the King Crab Inn. Settle in today, kids. The real fun begins tomorrow.

King Crab Inn

[endsthegame]

This large inn is a beautiful construction of ornate brickwork, with flowers hanging off of every available surface on the outside. Most rooms have balconies; sometimes, a man will stand outside the door, watching for potential adventurers.

But not tonight.

King Crab Inn - Rooms

[endsthegame]

The rooms are upstairs, modestly outfitted but spacious. There is a double bed or set of twin beds in each room, a bath with a privacy screen, a wardrobe (with time-and-place appropriate clothing included) and a desk. There are plenty of candles, and beautiful paintings hang off the walls.

[[ you can find your room assignments here. please put your room number in the subject line. all threading in this post should be SFW; if your thread goes in a different direction, please make a separate post in your journal. ]]

Room 128

[crimson_sister]

Lucille was relieved to share a room with someone she knew and liked. Placing the small bag on one bed -- she would be surprised if Jalian had a strong preference for which one -- she unpacked the few items on clothing she had brought while reflecting on the strangeness of this place.

[open, SP due to holiday]

Room 106

[notgetkilled]

Bellamy had no idea why he was here. He'd gotten something that said he'd been booked and had promptly ignored the invitation until he'd gotten another one. After last week, he figured that maybe he was owed a break, maybe this was a way of the universe being nice to him.

And he couldn't help but be curious either. He'd only been stuck on the damn island since he'd been punted to this place so the thought of seeing another place was enough to de-grump him for a little while.

He dropped his stuff on one of the beds and sat down, back to the door to decompress.

Room 121

[good_for_six]

Sorry, Thorin. The narrative was so, so sorry.

Isabela on the other hand wasn't. It was warm! Isabela had almost forgotten what warm felt like, and even if this place wasn't Thedosian, it was close enough to ease some of the homesickness she wasn't feeling.

She happily flung herself on the nearest bed. She'd unpack in a minute, then go exploring.

Room 113

[doesnotkneel]

"Now this looks like a proper establishment," Edward sighed.

To himself, by and large; he was not yet aware of who his roommate would be, or her whereabouts.

Whatever the case, he collapsed on a soft surface almost immediately, let out a sigh, and curled up.

Room 117

[halfaclink.livejournal.com]

Frank settled into his room right away. Meaning, of course, that as much of the liquor he brought that could fit on the desk made their way onto the desk and he poured himself a glass.

Room 107

[thisguyright.livejournal.com]

Step one: Find room. Step two: choose bed before roommate gets there. Step three: nap. Sorry, Tahiri, but you were going to have to deal with snoring by the time you got to the room, probably

Room 101

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was in another world, rooming with a version of his best friend that was still, well, alive.

Steve was over the moon to be here, and was doing his best impression of a hyperactive, overgrown golden retriever puppy as he tried to see everything in the room all at the same time.

Room 102

[sith_happened]

"Juliet, if you don't stop jumping on the bed right now, I'll sell you to wolves," Anakin threatened.

His daughter just stuck her tongue out at him.

Sigh. The price he paid for having a wife being forced to cover the South Carolina primaries.

Room 109

[sharp_as_knives]

Before he settled into his own room with Jono, Hannibal had one bag to offload elsewhere.

He came in and found a suitable surface on the desk, set the bag down carefully, and unzipped it to take out a human skull engraved with runes and symbols.

"This is your room."

Room 120

[stacyexperiment]

Gwen was entirely confused by the clothes when she saw them in the wardrobe.

"Does this mean I shouldn't have brought crop tops?" It was an important question.

Room 123

[notamascot]

Kaylin dropped her bag on the table closest to the window and stared into the night for a long moment.Then she carefully went through the entire room, planning for any potential situation, and designing exit strategies.

Once she was done she'd do some exploring and check out the same stuff for the rest of the Inn.

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo looked around the room frowning. If she was thinking of the right person, there was no way her roommate would fit on the bed they'd gotten for him. He probably wouldn't fit if the two beds were pushed together length-wise.

Which was actually kind of interesting. Having a clear head for the first time in a week, and a problem to consider (not that her roommate had asked for any help), was a nice change of pace.

Gave her something to do.

King Crab Inn - Common Room

[endsthegame]

Downstairs, large red curtains separate the various booths and tables from the rest of the inn; while they are usually open, they may be closed if privacy is wished for. To the left, there is a large bar which covers the entire L-shaped curve of the back wall. There is the constant, comforting rumble of people chattering; the decor, the fireplace (with bear fur rug) and the candles speak of an intrinsic welcoming warmth. A grey tomcat wanders around, sweet and clever.

Dante was fine.

Or rather, he was going to be fine. Two days in Limbo City? Whatever. He'd snagged a bottle of wine, and now he was stretched out in a booth, one half of the curtains closed.

Booze, then loads of sleep. Then he'd be fine.

Re: King Crab Inn - Common Room

[throughaphase]

Kitty wished they'd gotten there early enough to actually see the place, but she figured this would be the best place to at least meet and check out some of the people.

Mostly she was playing with the cat whenever he came around though.

Re: King Crab Inn - Common Room

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy was glad to be off the island and finally somewhere where she could breathe again without wanting to jump on whomever was closest. After settling into her room, she came back downstairs to settle into a chair next to the fireplace, trying to lure the cat to her lap with the promise of scritches.

King Crab Inn - Bar

[endsthegame]

The bar does not just serve drinks (though in Cyseal, they are not particularly interested in age limits), but it also serves food for the guests staying at the King Crab. At this time in the evening, you can buy drinks, various dinner dishes composed of vegetables with beef or fish, mashed potatoes, Rivellon fries, pumpkin and cheeses.

RE: King Crab Inn - Bar

[crimson_sister]

Now hungry, Lucille had ordered a light dinner, and a glass of wine to go with it. Watching the crowd, her thoughts often drifted elsewhere, and she found herself actually wishing for company.

[SP due to holiday]

Re: King Crab Inn - Bar

[good_for_six]

Of course Isabela was at the bar, and of course she had a tankard of ale in her hand.

Was anyone was surprised by this? At all?

Outside the Inn

[endsthegame]

It's dark, and there are no festivities or other activities in Cyseal tonight.

But there's place to sit right outside the inn, and a large fountain still clatters on peacefully within sight. There's room, if you prefer to sit out here, and the night skies are incredibly clear here.

Re: Outside the Inn

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara hadn't actually gone into the tavern yet, not that she had all that much to unpack, because she just wanted to sit down and breathe for the first time in a week without sneezing violently or feeling an itch she couldn't scratch under her skin.

Re: Outside the Inn

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

Skaar sat. There was a promise of adventures and, presumably, things to fight. Skaar planned on taking those opportunities for all they were worth. Until then, he sat. He prepared. He gathered every part of his anger in preparation to use it.

He hoped there were big monsters to hit.
