Athens, Thursday Morning

[not_of_the_nora]

That morning, the school packed up on Zakynthos and hopped into a portal, en route to Athens.

Too bad someone hadn't checked the itinerary.

The sun shone high in the sky and you could still hear the surf in the distance, that was the difference. But all you needed to do was see one donkey cart and realize: you were far away from home.

Welcome to Athens, sometime before 400 B.C.

Enjoy yourselves?

[[ ocd up! ]]

HOTEL φάτνη

[not_of_the_nora]

This massive inn hosts not just a labyrinth of small rooms for visitors from across Greece, it also has stables and multiple dining rooms for everyone's perusal. Guests will probably want to make use of the long stretch of the inn - including its lovely courtyard, which hosts a beautifully detailed pond, a pretty fountain, and large flowerbeds full of colorful flowers.

Rooms

[not_of_the_nora]

...because the rooms are tiny. And your toilet is a pot in the corner.

At least everyone had a very nice bed? Two a room, even or one big one for hijinx.

But don't expect much else from these walls, folks. At least someone will be by with wine (or a non-alcoholic beverage) and flower petals later?

Room 205

"Uhhhh."

Okay. Sabine might have been thinking she should have appreciated her time at the last place more because what. And she had no idea what that pot thing was for.

Please, please someone explain it to her.

Room 212

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Having slept in an actual bed at least two nights while in their last stop, Sidon's confidence may have been a bit bolstered to continue to do so throughout the remainder of the trip.

Until he got to his new room.

With its one...small...not-exactly-sturdy looking bed.

Well, then. It would seem he was now in perhaps a little bit of a conundrum, yes...

Breakfast

[not_of_the_nora]

... is barley bread, figs and olives, served in a large dining hall. If your bread's too dry, you can dip it in grape juice.

(Or wine. There is always the wine.)

Fjord was actually kind of thrilled to be here, yes. So help him, everything in this place made some measure of sense. It still wasn't quite home, but it was a fair bit closer to it than Fandom was.

Wearing his human disguise yet again, he was smiling outright, giving pleasant nods to anybody else who might be in the dining hall this morning.

The barley bread was still better than hardtack, he was a fairly content half-orc this morning.

Mitsutada was quietly freaking out, at least for now.

He was just going to have to make sure everyone didn't alter history, that's all.

Courtyard

[not_of_the_nora]

It is lovely. Walk around, enjoy the sight of the fountain, watch the flowers, or just partake of the copious amounts of beverages that are served here.

(Of course there's wine.)

This was not what Rosa signed up for.

So she'd spent most of the time since their arrival glaring at things and muttering "What the shit" under her breath, and then doing a little more glaring, arms folded, eyes narrowed, jaw tight.

But then she found some wine. And plenty of it. So the wine made things a little bit better.

...a little bit.

So now she was glaring, but with wine.
