[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5967931, member: 6673727"] [sblock=Eanos]It's clear to Eanos that the crowd's expression of emotions are genuine. He also gets the funny feeling, though, that something is buoying their capacity to express these genuine emotions. He can't put his finger on it, and nothing sinister seems at work, but there's a sense as though something - in the room? in the place? - is supporting the inn's patrons as they laugh and dance and sing.[/sblock]The group lingers a bit in the tavern, enjoying the sight of the revelry and the fine drinks, the unidentified Gumption Juice being one such example. Fatigue begins to take its toll, however, and the five soon decide to retire to their quarters. Spectalavanishom leads the way. The inn rises up the base of the tree to an impressive height - even those of the group comfortable seeing in the dark could not see its height from the outside. Spec leads them up a series of winding staircases, which seem cruelly unending given their increasing urge to sleep. As they rise, the sounds of the merriment below recede into a thick silence. At one point, they pass a door opening out to the wooden highroads of the wider city.
