[EVENT] A NEW WORLD ORDER

Characters: ALL!
Date: December 8, 2015 (with some starters for the following weeks)
Location: Keeliai, the Midnight Hotel, others
Situation: The Foreigners have awakened.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.

They've been in the Dreaming for so long that when they wake up their bodies feel more like automatons, alien and ill-fitting. They haven’t atrophied, thanks to Milyn, but they’re stiff and a little bedsore, and the solidity of the Life Plane is jarring. Here, the surroundings don’t move on a whim. Here the world is more stable, almost harsh and unyielding in spite of the homey surrounds.

It’s been a year, says the clock on the mantle and on the second floor. Says Milyn, too, when she’s able to stop hugging them long enough to speak.

Nothing much has changed in the Midnight Hotel. There are dishes out of place, objects belonging to either Milyn or Eva in evidence, the diorama exactly where it had been but now brightly-painted thanks to Milyn's boredom. Milyn and Eva took a room each, in the time the Foreigners were sleeping, though neither used them much.

Eva’s upstairs, Milyn will tell anyone who asks. In her room.

Eva hasn't left that room in three days. She hasn't spoken in three days, either, or walked, or moved, or breathed. Her effects are neatly arranged around her bed, and the sheet has been pulled up. There is heavy incense in the room and Milyn has managed to preserve the body enough to remove the risk of too much mess (and other things). In a way, that makes it worse: as though Eva is sleeping. It’s difficult to tell whether Milyn is in denial or whether spending three days with no one to talk to other than sleeping Foreigners and a corpse has had its influence.

The place wasn't what she had expected, but then again, she had no idea what she was supposed to expect in the first place.

"Thank you," She said, her smile fading as she realized she hadn't introduced herself, "My name is Lucina by the way." She said, holding out her hand.

"And I'm Sokka, warrior extraordinaire," he says as he enthusiastically takes her hand and gives it a shake. And lest he forget the most important part, he adds, "From this hotel, you can zip across the city in mere seconds! There are five entrances to this place, one in each of the city's five sectors. And plus, it's sort of neutral ground. So in case you get mixed up with the locals, you should come here."

She smiled when he shook her hand, "Well, Sokka, warrior extraordinaire, thank you for guiding me here."

She looked at the hotel. It didn't look like much, but magic could do many things. She frowned briefly when he mentioned the locals.

"Are we not on the best of terms with the locals then?"

Sokka makes a cringing look when she asks her question, and it's obvious exactly what the answer is. "Eeeeeeh, we're... friendly... if you count friendly as occasionally they don't like to sell anything to us, or occasionally give us some rude gestures... or won't really hire many of us to their businesses." He gives a rather sardonic grin to that. "But hey! That's actually a step up in the world. Used to be that they were holding up torches and pitchforks and trying to murder us or throw us off the turtle. So you know, diplomacy really works or something."
