As the sun stretches its golden fingers across the land, a new day unfurls in the realm of magic and mystery. The air is alive with the whispers of unseen creatures, and the first light dances upon the dew-kissed leaves of ancient trees. In the heart of the Adventurers' Hall, where tales of valor and enchantment echo through the hallowed halls, our intrepid heroes awaken to the promise of another day filled with adventure, challenges, and the unknown. The aroma of a hearty breakfast wafts from the hall's kitchen, beckoning them to gather and plan their next steps. The world awaits, brimming with possibilities and secrets waiting to be unveiled. Another chapter in their epic saga is about to unfold in the tapestry of realms and magic. The day is theirs to shape, and destiny lingers in the air like a sweet anticipation.

So, how was everyone's night? You all sleep well?

Like a rock

I did, thank you.

Honestly, I didn't do much sleeping, I just layed there enjoying the company

(sees Astarion and snickers to herself)

Yep! That bed in the demiplane is amazing!

Sort of. I mean, I kind of did some reading because I woke up in the middle of the night.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Axel.

{notices the snickering and turns around to leave}

(while laughing) Astarion, don't leave!

Of course I enjoyed it. It's soooo comfy!!

I will not be the target of your insults. Find another clown..

(mocking voice): Aww, why? Did you burn your last pair of shorts?

(small quiet giggle)

{Has left the dining hall}

As soon as Astarion leaves, Axel and Rilith burst into laughter

(takes a breath)Not so tough now, is he?

(laughs) Nope!

You realize he's probably not coming back anytime soon, right?

Is it weird I kinda feel bad for him? I mean, all he did was blow off Axel's excitement.

I won't lie, I'm with you, Karlach...but he's always been an asshole!

Meanwhile in the lounge

Well Gale, congadulations. It appears you're no longer the laughing stock of this wretched place.

Thank yo.....u... wait what? I was the laughing stock?

Well you aren't anymore...

Ummm ok.

{Inturrupting Gale} Nevermind why!!!!!!! Just enjoy the promotion

That bad huh?

Shut up Gale.....

Should we apologize to him?....

Why? He's a dick. Let him be punished for a while.

{Gets up to go to the dining hall}

Just where do you think you're going?

To ask the girls, they know everything that goes on around here

Don't you dare...

{walks away}

Get back here...... Gale.... GALE.....DON'T YOU DO IT GALE!!!!

{mock yelling down the hall} Tooo late... I can't hear you.... too far away.... oh... too bad... Wish I could help.....

Gods damn it Gale!!!!!

Oh Hey Gale! What's up?

Gale! How are you? (Friendly Smile)

Hi Gale

So.... what's the big secret that's got Astarion's knickers in a twist?

He was being an asshole to Axel, so Araavos got pissed and threatened to beat his ass the next time he upsets her. Astarion got scared and shit himself.

It's true. And you know I can't lie

{laughs hysterically} I..... honestly I can't blame him {looks at Araavos} But yeah, that's a good one for sure.

Most run, some freeze. He shits... I guess.

(laughs) It's fine, though. Soon as it's all out of our system, he won't have to worry about embarrassment. But it just happened yesterday, so it's still fresh.

Bet the stench is still fresh too..

(gasps and laughs)Shadowheart!

What. That was a good one.

I know, but Shadowheart is surprisingly witty. I love it!

So, anyone have any plans for the day?

I did promise my parents we'd celebrate me, you, and Nazmir getting married together.

When were you wanting to do that?

Probably later tonight? I was thinking that fancy restaurant. They'd love it.

As nice as that place is, I think we can do better. Give me some time and I'll get it taken care of.

Oh? What do you have in mind?

Wouldn't be special if I told you, now would it?

Yeah, you're right

What do I have to do to get in on that?

Just be yourself and tell him how you really feel. And this is coming from someone who is forced to do so.

I told him last night, but he didn't say anything

Maybe talk to him about it?

Araavos, go take Elandra out on a date. Don't come back until you've both had a good time

You sure?

GO!!!!!!

Okay okay...

GO, ALREADY! YOU HEARD HER!

SHE DESERVES IT!

(has left with Elandra

There he goes

Now what?

Well ladies.... who wants to....

(interrupts) not a chance

Hey! Don't be so mean to Gale! At least he's nice!

Unlike Astarion, I actually like him

Really

Yes really! You're a great friend , Gale!

You're actually really great to be around. Astarion is fine, but only when he's not being a complete asshole

Hells, yknow what? You, me, and Axel hang out. Whatcha say, Gale?

What did you have in mind?

How about Towbury Tavern? They have some pretty awesome shows. Drinks, Food, and talking.

Ooooh, good idea!

Alright. I guess.... You guys aren't playing a trick on me are you?

No, of course not! We like you!

Stand close. I'm teleporting us there.

Alright.

Welcome back. Did you guys have fun?

Yes, we did!

Yep!!! (smiles) What about you and Elandra?

Well we...

{She interrupts}We had an amazing time. First we went on a small tour of of a celestial zoo. Got to pet a Unicorn... so cool. Then we stopped for lunch in the Abyss. talk about the best sea food.... then we.............. watched the fireworks for The Luminara Revelry festival. Then.... he took me to dinner...{She blushes} And................... I couldn't help it...... I PROPOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!.......He said yes!!!!! {shows off ring}

Yeah, that..

And now.... I CAN CELEBRATE WITH YOU GUYS EEEEEEEEEKK!!!!!!!

(happy squeal) YES!!!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT GIRL!!! (hugs her tightly)

We're hosting a party....now!!!!!

Now?

Okay, maaybe not *now*...

I mean if you girls want to go out on your own, sure.

I'm down

Let's go!!! Come on, Elandra!!!

{Already wearing her finest.} We leaving or what? Also, who' coming?

Just wait a minute will you... I still have to get ready{Runs upstairs}

Get ready? I don't understand... where we going?

Let me put my gown on (waves hand to attempt toquick change)

I wish I could do that!!!

{closes his eyes changing axel into her formal wear} Careful what you wish for. I might actually grant it...{As he heads off to leave you girls to your evening}

(gasp) SO COOL!!!!!

Damn, okay. Anyway, you all ready?

Am I not coming?

Honestly forgot you were here.

I'm ready

As Am I

Then let's go if the others are ready

{comes in late still fastining her brazier and trying to get this stupid dress on}When were you planning on telling me?

Because I don't complaign all the time?

Honey, you're struggling. Let me help. (goes to help Lae'zel with her dress)

Thank you...... {she says, almost in a kind tone..}

(a playful tone): "Thank You"? Are you feeling okay? You never thank anyone for anything.

You're..... helping me. With something I am not used to... You're including me.... Despite me being harsh, abrasive, often cruel.. Nobody else would even offer... So yes, I suppose I am thanking you...

Lae'zel...(hugs her gently) No one deserves to be excluded. And besides, being harsh is just deeply woven into your heritage. I can't fault you for that...

You know the Githyanki way?

I read?

Then you are the only one here who does other than Araavos.... {She returns the hug her stance softening as though melting the embrace lasting only a few precious moments before hardening back up} We should get going.

Yes, we should.

Sorry, had to check if I had everything. Anyway, are we going, or...

Yes, Axel

Okay, but just one tine... itty bitty. probably insignificant detail......YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHERE WE'RE GOING!!!!{she says stubbornly yet playfully}

Wherever you want. It's your day

{Leans into Rilith} Can I be a princess too? You guys made it sound so amazing.{She whispers}

Of course! We'll go pay Alexander a visit at the resteraunt, perhaps see a show, you'll get that princess treatment!

Ooooh!!! She'll love it!!!!

Exactly my idea, Rilith

As you step outside to head into town. A mystical purple carriage await you, it's very walls made up of the fabric of the universe. The carriage is led by 4 Pure white unicorns. There are no wheels for the carriage appears to be floating on the very clouds that fill the sky above you. As you approach your driver dismounts to open the door with a wave of his hand and inside you find a bottle of very rare vintage wine from a realm not even discovered by mortal men. The seats are a velvety color and softer than the night air on a cool evening. The driver then closes the door and proceeds to escort you into town towards the restaurant

UNICORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay....I'M JEALOUS!!!!

Oooh, nice!

Starts tearing up.

Is she alright? {looking at Elandra}

Trust me, she's fine.

What did you do this time Araavos

What must be done, for ones that deserve it. I'm sure they'll tell everybody when they get back. But for now, all I can do is hope she enjoys it.

You realize you're making us all look bad, right?

Please, I can't take all the credit for you all looking bad... Some of that is all you guys.

Meanwhile back at the hall.

Oh look, they're back.... Time to go...

Astarion....

Dont....

Welcome back girls!!! How was your night?

Amazing

AWESOME!!!!!

Amazing

Astarion, don't leave. We're all over it. Just calm down.

Over what?

You know what.

You're just saying that to so it stings harder later. Axel is this true, you can't lie. Are they really over it?

....They just want you to stop moping....

Thank you Axel... you girls are absolute bitches... I'm done with the lot of you.{Begins to storm off} You know..... I really thought you guys were better than this.... Guess I was wrong after all....Hope it was worth it.{leaves}

Hey, wait....

Now look what you did, Rilith!!!

(sighs and simply follows the two)

{turns around, pain and anger clearly visible in his eyes} What?!!! Want one more final jab before I go. Well go on then, get it over with.

(regret and sadness in her expression)No, I'm sorry.....You can be a real asshole sometimes, and...it...felt nice taking you down a peg...It shouldn't have went as far as it did...Please, I still care about you...

This should have stopped on day one!...I told them they were being too harsh, but they didn't listen to me!...

Honestly, I didn't really participate.

Thank you Axel, Nazmir....And again Axel. I'm sorry if I didn't care about your book. I still don't but I realize now that you did...And I should have handled that better. But Rilith. Yeah, I got scared, I did what I did, don't you think that was bad enough? You really hurt me you know. I'm going to try to forgive you, but it's going to take me a while to forget.

(tears form in her eyes. she really does feel bad) Okay...

I don't care if you don't care about what I like....I was just upset when you dismissed it...It's okay...really...

{he lifts Rilith's chin.} You know I can't stay mad at you forever, right? Perhaps i'll let you make it up to me later... But let's not ruin your makeup or your evening. Go, have fun. I'll still be here...

Later bitches....

As the groups go their seperate ways, they all reflect on the day, the evening. All the wonders, and enchantments it had to offer. The good, the bad. All swimming in their minds as they drift off to sleep.
