In Character Thread v8: Revival

"Well I would suppose that 'self-proclaimed' would be a given considering I don't think there's any contest going on. Or...is there?" As her mind wandered off, Atropos began to pace in a circle around Tree. After making a complete circuit she stopped and looked up again.

"Oh. I like your hat. I have a hat too only not quite like that." She reached up to touch her head, only to find that she wasn't wearing her hat. "It's not here right now. It must be in its room. I mean, in my room."

*Continues to play with her computer, tuning a program on it as best she can* Hmm... maybe if I made it autonomous...

*Walks down the stairs, still groggy* Uh... I need a drink. >_> *Sets her eyes on the bar*

"Yes, my top hat is quite lovely, though can get on my nerves from time to time. It doesn't like leaving my head for very long, so I usually just keep it there at all times."

"It doesn't like..." No, that didn't sound right. It was a hat, wasn't it? Hats couldn't like or not like anything because they weren't people. "Wait, it doesn't think, does it? How can it dislike?" Curious, Atropos reached out with a tendril of black matter, poking at the top hat sitting on Tree's head, seeing if she could get it to move.

Mildly disturbed by the sight, Tree took a step to the side. "Uh, no, it's not alive. I was merely personifying my hat because it is dear to me... as well as an annoying burden. It's just a constant reminder of where I've been and where I won't go."

Atropos retracted the tentacle when Tree Shade stepped away. The black matter dropped to the ground and melted into a liquid, mixing with the water that was still in puddles on the ground. Thinking of water, Atropos realized she was still wet, and was beginning to get cold because of it. "Of course it's not alive, that would be silly," Atropos said with a smile and a shiver.

Tree nodded. "Yes, silly indeed. Now if you excuse me, I have to be somewhere."

With that, Tree fell into the sky.

He'd be back later.

"Oh. Um. Okay," Atropos said, after Tree Shade had shot up into the sky. Looking around, Atropos saw that she was now alone. And still cold. She decided that she would go back to her room and change into dry clothes.

Now if only she could remember which room was hers...

Anna sat on the edge of the roof, staring at the clouds in the sky. Sighing, she turned to watch Ahiga land on the roof, a silver haired Akane sitting in place. "Go on inside and get warm. I know flying wears you out."

"Ah, it doesn't, Anna. It wears Ahiga out..." Akane yawned a bit, stretching. "... Okay. You win." He jumped from the most shallow part of the roof, walking inside to the small room he and Jaiden shared.

A fire flamed up, and a lone figure stepped out of it, untouched by the fierce flames. He acted as if a fire in the middle of nowhere was a common thing, and also that it mysteriously disappeared the moment after. As he stepped forward towards the building in front of him, his spiky red hair changed to long, black hair that fell over his eyes and ears, and his eyes went from yellow to deep blue. His figure shrinked a little and he became a little thinner. It was as though there had come two entirely different persons out of the fire, but only one was now entering the strange "hotel".

Lex was stepping forward and looking up watching Zyler and Salis fly up in the sky on the dragon when great watery tentacles ensnared his legs and froze in place. Shodden as he was however, in boots that had the tensile strength of twenty Lex's, Lex looked down at the remains of things somewhere between great ice chunks and parts more pulverized into something like driven snow.

"You do that Ralis? Cool I guess."

Ralis really never had time to continue his demonstration, however, as Tree appeared and stole the show and Lex listened to the conversation mostly as a bystander. Tree left just as strangely as he appeared and the thought crossed Lex that should their paths ever cross in the near future(and Lex was thinking this very likely, given Tree's apparent psychological alignment), Tree might present the sort of wild card that would be hard for him to deal with. Especially if he had any control over this apparent lack of care for gravity.

Presently Lex went up to his room to have a shower and get some clean clothes.

Lex came down to the pool area to notice the bar and eating area, through whatever dwemer the place held, completely pristine once again without a single blood stain or over turned chair, and decided to order himself a blue cheese and bacon burger with a cob salad.

Lex looked at the waitress like she was retarded for a good 30 seconds till she shuffled nervously and stumbled in her high heels. "So... you guys have this enchantment where a tornado could come and rip this place apart or an Atropos could kill everyone in the room and the next day the place is like nothing ever happened, and yet you don't have a cob salad?"

Lex sat there with his 'bleu cheese dressing and egg but no feta' salad and exquisite burger, waiting for patrons to come down for the evening cap.

Carca did a quick scan of the entry hall. He had yet to run into anyone - he could not even hear anything as he quietly progressed deeper into the building. How did he check in? Did he have to check in? Could he just go find a room and have a quick nap? Where were all the people?

He turned his head, brushing long black hair from his eyes. No-one. Nothing. His cloak felt warm and heavy, so he dragged it off his shoulders, rolled it into a ball and left it in a corner where he assumed he would be able to find it later.

"Mmm... hello?" he called. "Hello?"

No response. He ventured deeper into the building. Sunlight filled the rooms from the windows, casting a nice shining glow on his environments.

"Ugh, anyone?"
