Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here is where you will discover the layout of the Tavern. Most facilities outdoors are natural, so the management isn't to blame for any accidents that occur. We can't control the, uh, temperature of the water for example and kick out any resident monsters that may have set up home at the bottom of the lake. So just be aware of that while swimming.

* Hot spring - This is located a ways away from both the lake and garden, situated somewhere between and nestled amongst the woods. It is in a basin of rocks, where the water is piping hot and perfect for social interactions.
To shield it from any weather, there is a form of wooden gozebo above, and also some steps leading up to an annex building, which is currently candle-lit and can be used for private conversations.



* Lake - This is located in the grounds of the Tavern, as is the hot spring and gardens. It is the furthest away from the Tavern than any other facility yet is clearly seen through the trees from both the front path and gardens. Watch out for any wild demons that like praying on swimmers, no matter what the race.
Swimming (and skinny-dipping allowed.)



* Gardens - When you leave the Tavern through the backgarden, you automatically enter the gardens. These include a Secret Garden - which will take you a while to discover and a while to find your way back out, a labyrinth - or, as you would say, a maze; a faerie garden - where, yes, real faeries do live amongst their flowers, and finally the Garden of Faces.
The Garden of Faces is a mixture of exotic plants, statues and mannequins.
The management holds the right to reserve any compensation for those scared to death if said ornaments were to move.

* Main floor - Set out like a cottage upon the inside, on the right side of the ground floor there is a large hearth and rug, surrounded by sofas. The bar is along the opposite wall, set into the corner, with wood pannelling and such. Bar stools are dotted all around this.
Beside every window there are seats and tables, and also there are mats in the far corner of the room for those who wish to sit down upon the floor and swap tales.
Lunch is served here for most species, excepting those with particular diets and vampires. Vampires will have to hunt for themselves and are welcome to bring any snacks with them - to share or not to share. Please, if you do bring snacks, please let these be fictional and not actual Gaians, otherwise this will be taken as godmodding. Pets are allowed to be bitten and even drank from, but not to be killed.



* Second floor - This area is mainly for staff and those intending to spend the night at the Tavern. Rooms are reserved for those who book, and are given to said people for the amount of nights they require.
Along the second floor corridor there are doors leading off into the rooms and at the end of the corridor there is a row of french windows, leading out into a balcony, from where you can see the gardens and hot springs. This is at the back of the Tavern and the stairwell is not far from this point.
All rooms have their own balconies. Each room can be double-bed if wished. This is only for people who wish to share and confirmation is from both Gaians.



Small brawls are accepted in the Tavern, provided it is hushed immediately and was a spur of the moment action, e.g. just one punch in the face. Any battles to the death should be taken in to the woods, where the blood will not stain are precious wood flooring.

Note. Staff do not get paid, they get their money by posting. Again this is part of the roleplay. They are also allowed to roleplay to their hearts content, provided they act their jobs. If ever they want some free-time, all they have to do is hand their position to someone else. E.g. if the bartender wishes to leave for some fresh air, he will ask the barmaid to take over.

Also note that even if the actual Gaians themselves are not present, in the Tavern the staff are always on hand.
It is the staff's duty to PM the manager if they encounter anybody breaking the rules and provide evidence, e.g. quoting. They are there to keep watch over everybody and keep them safe.

To get a position as a member of staff, please PM me saying what position you wish. It is helpful to provide your RPC's name along with the position you wish to apply for.

This is where the rooms provided by the Tavern will be filled and you can see how long till that room will be vacant. To own a room here ETERNALLY you will have to pay rent - 10g a week - to the manager or, more befitting, an upfront fee of 100g.
To keep a room for a set amount of time is free, provided that time is up to a week.

Those who own a room here can also be members of staff. If you are a member of staff, the cost is halved. So it is 50g upfront or 5g a week.

You will benefit a room because it is easier to think of an entrance instead of using the same entrance of your character lingering in the doorway for five or six minutes. Staff are encouraged to acknowledge clients if they 'come out' of their rooms.

"The Tavern is now open for business!" Destiny called down from the second floor stairwell, making sure every last detail considering the Tavern had been secured. She smoothed out her trenchcoat, grinning brilliantly at the hope of a new customer.

Destiny grinned. "Thanks," She sat up to attention, glancing at the newcomer.

"yes I did. " she smiles showing her fangs

Kazu entered and sat in a chair, crossing his legs and folding his arms. A new place. A brand new place. If there was ever a place to go looking for trouble, this was it. Hence-- and at this, his hand traveled to his hip-- the rapier. It hadn't failed him yet, and this was looking like it would be worth the risk anyway.
