[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.]

[ 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?

From:

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?

From:

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. ]

From:

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]

From:

unguilded

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

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

From:

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.

From:

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. ]

From:

everafters

I'm glad to hear it! I do so hope that everyone here enjoys it. I'm a bit nervous, honestly, given that it's my first game... But I intend to provide small desserts and beverages, so even if people dislike the game they'll have something to enjoy.

[it seems to take a very short time to reach the top of the tower, given how high the stairs looked, and soon they're emerging into the main room. at the moment, it looks like an organized mess; there's a large pile of snowballs in one part of the room, hair care supplies in another, and a stack of pillows somewhere too.]

There's going to be more, but I haven't prepared it as of yet. What do you think?

[do you trust her yet rook!!]

From:

unguilded

Desserts? You're the best! I'm sure everybody will appreciate it no matter what they think about the game itself. It's always a welcome thing when Echoes run nice games. But I think it's going to be great!

...

[ GOING OVER TO TOUCH THE SNOWBALLS. ]

From:

everafters

[sombering for a moment]

I'm certain that's the case, yes... I do wish it were the norm, with no exceptions.

[they feel like anyone would expect a snowball to, cold and powdery and wet.]

Do you enjoy cold weather, then?

From:

unguilded

So do I...

[ Picking one up! And pretending to wind up to toss it. ]

The cold doesn't bother me that much! But, I like snowball fights! Lucciola and I are going to have one soon, because we want to play more.

From:

everafters

Oh, oh, that's going to be one of the tasks in my game! So you'll be able to do it there. That will be fun to see.

[pausing]

Oh, I almost forgot your quest! What is it that you need, dear?

[ 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!

From:

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?

From:

unguilded

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

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

From:

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.

From:

unguilded

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

But, it was really nice hearing all of those.

From:

everafters

I'm very glad the stories brought you happiness.

[looking down at her hands and concentrating for a moment before the earrings he asked for pop into her hands]

There! Do these look satisfactory to you?
