[Deep within a peaceful, inviting forest full of friendly animals and beautiful plant life lies a single tower. At the base of this tower, you'll find an entrance (if you search long enough) that leads to a winding staircase. The staircase takes you to a single room, much larger than it appears from the outside. There's a generous amount of vases filled with flowers, and bright tapestries depicting nature and peaceful scenery adorn the walls. The window lets in natural light that fills the room. It feels like a warm and comforting place, and it's always filled with a delicious smell.]

day 184, sometime after soiree game/post-game catpost

[formaliteas]

[He finds the entrance (and the staircase behind it) right about when he was on the verge of giving up, and ascends with care until he enters the room.]

Ah, hello? I've come for a quest.

[everafters]

[she'd been looking at the window, but she turns to him with a smile as he speaks]

Oh, a visitor! Welcome. I'd be glad to give you a quest! Before then, would you like some tea?

[formaliteas]

[He bows from the waist, polite and elegant.]

Only if it wouldn't be too much trouble, miss.

[everafters]

Certainly!

[going to an area that has a cabinet]

Do you have any sort you like best? Black, green, herbal...?

[formaliteas]

Black would be delectable, thank you.

[everafters]

Black it is, then!

[getting the kettle ready]

What are you looking to quest for, sir?

[formaliteas]

I need two decks of playing cards, some poker chips.....a trumpet, sheet music for it, as well as an instructional manual for how to play it.....ah, and a pair of gloves. Something high-quality, like those that a butler would wear.

A single quest to cover everything would be preferred, if possible.

Day 186, afternoon?

[unguilded]

[ AS HE SAID, Rook is here to check out Eloise's realm.

And ask her for a quest, but right now, more important things first!! ]

Helloooooo? Eloise?

Re: Day 186, afternoon?

[everafters]

[after a few moments he'll hear a voice calling from inside the tower:]

Hello! Just a moment, dear.

[and shortly after that, the door at the base of the tower is opened; once she sees who it is, her smile is bright and genuine]

You came! I'm so glad to see you again. I apologize, the staircase to the top of the tower is rather large, but I think it leads to the best area. May I escort you?

Re: Day 186, afternoon?

[unguilded]

Hi! I did say I wanted to see it myself.

I have a quest to ask for, too, if you'd be willing to give me one!

But first, sure!

[ He's looking around, so excited, peering up at the how high the stairs go. ]

Re: Day 186, afternoon?

[everafters]

I hope it lives up to your expectations! I regret to say that it might be a bit of a mess at the moment. I'm preparing for a game soon.

[they go very high; it's almost impossible to see the top]

Re: Day 186, afternoon?

[unguilded]

Oooh? What kind of game? Do I get any hints?

[ SMILING A LOT AT THAT, breathing out a small wooooooow. ]

Re: Day 186, afternoon?

[everafters]

One where you have to work with people outside of your team, doing things like giving hugs and compliments and other pleasant tasks. I thought that would be the best way to encourage people to bond with their peers here. I hope it works, I do so love to see people make friends.

[she starts up the staircase with a grin]

I shall lead the way.

Re: Day 186, afternoon?

[unguilded]

Oh! I love games like that~

[ Even if a lot of people are awkward about them ... but sometimes that's cute.

FOLLOWING HER like an excited puppy. ]

Day 187, right after her game

[unguilded]

[ Rook doesn't bother leaving the realm when the game is over, coming to find Eloise when everyone's mostly filed out. ]

That was so much fun!

And, hey, I finished the quest!

Re: Day 187, right after her game

[everafters]

You enjoyed it? I'm so glad to hear that! From what the others said, they did as well. I'm very pleased to hear it.

You did? Excellent! May I hear the answers you received?

Re: Day 187, right after her game

[unguilded]

I can't wait until you run another game, now!

[ And then he starts retelling the stories he got from people. ]

Re: Day 187, right after her game

[everafters]

Thank you! I'll try to make it something that people will enjoy just as much as they enjoyed this.

[listening to him patiently with a smile]

Those are all lovely stories! Thank you for telling them to me.

Re: Day 187, right after her game

[unguilded]

I told you I'd be back as soon as possible!

But, it was really nice hearing all of those.

[rednecking]

[waltzing right on in]

You here, princess?

[everafters]

[coming out from the kitchen area with an apron on]

Certainly, dear! What can I do for you?

[rednecking]

[he tries not to look as exhausted as he feels. BIG SMILE]

I need the strongest booze I can quest for. Or a lot of the cheap stuff, I ain't picky.

[everafters]

...I see. Has something happened?

[rednecking]

[yeah it lasts all of five seconds]

We lost someone, got a new guy, and there was a showdown with Nyssa.

[everafters]

Oh, Tesla... I'm so sorry. Are any of you hurt? I can give you a quest for healing if you like.
