Rowena
"Really? Thanks!" Rowena says to Rita with an appreciative smile. She leans down and whispers to Quill, "Hey, what's up with you guys?" She asks. "I'll tell you later," He responds flippantly. Rowena shrugs and doesn't question it any further.
She's the first to start going upstairs, followed closely by her sister Gwen -
Gwen
Gwen is still seething from the argument with Rowena earlier, but she sticks close to her to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble. Sleeping in some random witch's house? Wow, what a great idea! And Quill seemed to know her too, so a double whammy of great ideas this seemed to be! -
Jord
Jord follows Rowena and Gwen, humming softly. His music attracts the attention of an animal from another room. It skitters next to him and follows him happily. It was small and furry, but Jord couldn't tell what kind of animal it was.
"Oh, excuse him. That's Murry, he's quite the curious little fellow," Rita says with a small smile. She beckons the animal towards her and Murry runs up to her and nuzzles her shoe. Jord smiles softly, then continues up the stairs. -
Ma'Tonzi
Ma'Tonzi flutters off of Jord's shoulder and flies to the head of the group to catch a glimpse of what the upper floor is like. When they reach the end of the staircase, she sees that the entire second floor is just one big room. There are five beds lining the walls, and a sixth tiny bed on the ledge of a window.
Ma'Tonzi flies into a happy little loopty loot and then settles into the tiny bed as the others start piling in the room. -
Quill
Quill walks past the beds and opens the closet. "Watcha doing?" Rowena asks him curiously. "I'm sleeping here," he says, like this is completely normal. "Uhh.. why?" She replies. "If someone surprise attacks us they'll target the beds first, and I'll have time to wake up and be prepared to fight them off," Quill says, like it's as easy as 123.
"To each their own," Rowena says with a shrug. -
Faber
Faber sits down tentatively in a bed. They start to unpocket all of their weapons and lay them out on a nightstand next to the bed. The pile of weapons that was starting to appear was comically large. A crap ton of knives, a mace, a machete, a quarterstaff, some throwing stars, a sword, a war hammer, and some dangerous looking potions.
Gwen looks at this pile and glares at Rowena. "That's a lot of weapons you got there," Gwen comments. Faber grunts. "Is it really? This is a light load for me." -
Rowena
Rowena chuckles, trying to ease the tension. "We gotta be ready for adventure tomorrow, guys! Weapons are a good thing," She says. "Let's enjoy this oppurtunity and get a good night's sleep in a bed.. or a closet, I guess.. while we still have a chance," Rowena says. She kicks off her shoes and lays down in one of the beds. -
Gwen
Gwen sighs. She knew wouldn't be getting a good night's sleep, what with rooming with dangerous people like Quill and Faber. She casts a shield spell over Rowena and herself before finally caving into tiredness and plopping onto a bed. -
Jord
Jord sits down in a bed close to the window Ma'Tonzi was by. He looks around the room and begins singing a soft lullaby. The tension evaporates like sugar in water. Everyone finally drifts to sleep, lulled by the serenity of his voice. Jord himself then lays down and sleeps as well. -
(Wow, day 0 in this one is a lot calmer than AN OGRE FIGHT-)

Ma'Tonzi
"Rise and shine!" Rita says, slamming open the door to the second floor. Gwen sits up fast, and unsheathes a black knife she seemed to have been sleeping with. Faber sits up just as fast, and a little burst of flame shoots from their mouth. Jord rolls over calmly and blinks awake, not bothering to sit up quite yet. Rowena yawns and stretches her arms as she pulls herself up slowly. Quill opens the closet door, as if to say 'who dares bother me this early?'. Ma'Tonzi throws aside her sheets and flies up, rejuvenated and ready for adventure. -
Quill
Quill throws a shoe at Rita, which she dodges in a twirling fashion. "Up and at 'em! Chop chop! I'm no inn, so I refuse to serve you breakfast. Better hurry and leave before this floor disappears!" Rita warns, tapping her arm like an imaginary watch was there.
"What do you mean?" Rowena asks Rita as she ties her shoes, getting ready for the day.
"I mean I summoned this floor last night and had it set to last only 9 hours before it disappeared to back where it came from. You guys have 5 minutes before the 9 hours are up and the entire second floor disappears and is replaced by a roof, which you will all promptly fall off of," Rita explains in exasperatation. -
Faber
Upon hearing this, Faber jumps up and begins pocketing and sheathing away all of their weapons from the nightstand. Then they start to slow down. It wouldn't really matter either way, since Faber was a dragon and could fly even in humanoid form. -
Rowena
Rowena picks up her bookbag and begins rushing around to help her friends hurry up and get off the second floor. In one night Quill had somehow turned the closet into a cartographers dream room, with papers and notebooks and maps strewn all over the floor. -
Gwen
Gwen helps Arwyn help everyone. The combined force of the Vanshire sisters has Quill's mess cleaned up in about 2 minutes tops. "Okay, let's get outta here," Gwen says, looking at the wooden floor distrustfully. She could fly of course, but it'd make her feel guilty to have Quill and Jord fall and hurt themselves.
