Gar Hold Entry Hall

The Entry Hall of Gar Hold is roughly octagonal in shape.  Eight doors lead out of it, one is the one you just entered from.  The first thing you notice is the mural painted on the walls.  It seems to be a panoramic depiction of a orchard in the spring.  The artist took their time as everything is at nearly life size.  Lining the sides of the Hall are padded stone benches, that seem to flow freely into the mural.  Posted over the Door to the Holder's Office is the Hold Crest, A shield of Forest Green with a solitary Blue band placed diagonal across the shield.  While the center of all movement in Gar Hold, it still remains a pleasant place to stop and talk anytime with friends, and enjoy the mural.

On the perch is Cupric.

You see Steel, Diamond, Wynd, Ivory, A Display Case, and Tapestry here.

Natch is here.

Obvious exits:

The Happy Harper     Dining Hall     Holder's Office     Main Hallway     Steward's Office     Gar Hold Shops     CourtYard     Spiral Staircase

Natch nods at Zidon, giving him a small wave of recognition.

Zidon strides in, sending Natch a smile back. "Afternoon."

Natch adds a "Good afternoon," to her greeting and simles. "Been out of the kitchen, have you?"

Kantala walks in from the Main Hallway.

Zidon pauses as Natch speaks, then nods. "Yeah I have to go out at some point," he replies, smirking. "Afterall, how many bubblies can this Hold eat..."

Natch laughs at Zidon and nods but says "You might be surprised. I think they'd eat bubblies instead of anything else and never get tired of them. Maybe we need to grow a crop of sweetner cane."

Zidon winces. That'd mean, gasp, more work for him. "Oh, I think someone responsible would tell them to eat their greens." And then someone irresponsible would probably suggest green bubblies. Hmm.

Natch laughs softly and pats Zidon's arm. "Well said, well said. I'm sure I can count on Aslyn to make sure we eat healthy."

Zidon chuckles. "Oh I woudln't count on that. Afterall, her specialty is desserts and all..."

Natch smiles and mmm's teasingly "Must be Danak, then.  No one's asked me about menus in turns."

Kezzra walks in from the Main Hallway.

Kantala says, "Hi Kazy."

Kezzra says, "Oh...Hi Tala."

Natch nods the the newcomers and smiles again at Zidon. "Must go meet some of the workers. Someone actually thinks we have grubs. Of all the silliness."

Zidon chuckles. "Why would they when there's always bubblies?"

Natch smiles and chuckles before she heads to the courtyard.

Natch makes her way to the CourtYard.

Kantala walks in from the Gar Hold CourtYard.

Kantala (#18832)

female Gar Vintner (Prob. Apprentice)

A beautiful woman stands before you. She reaches the height of five six, her long blonde hair cascades down her back. Blue eyes reflect everything she sees in a new and facinating light. She is tall and thin. Her skin is lightly tanned, pink lips and rosy cheeks stand out slightly, a few freckles are scattered across her nose.

She wears a short-sleeved dress that hangs at mid-calf. It is blue, matching the color of her eyes. Tan wherhide sandles cover her feet, looking like her dress, almost brand new. A silver chain hangs about her neck, a small silver ring on her left pinky.

Kantala wears a single loop knot of forest green, a badge with a dark red wineskin pouring into a glass on a white background attached to it denoting her as a member of the VinterCraft.

IC Age: 15 Turns, 6 months, and 4 days

You go to the Main Hallway.

Main Hallway

The Main Hall is lined with 'Portraits' of the past and current Holders and a large tapestry entitled The Watchdragon (look tapestry). The Hall itself is painted in a pleasant forest green, the primary color of the Hold, with a Dark Blue strip running about three feet off the ground along the sides of the Hall. A couple of sofas are situated here next to the doors for the Steward's Office and the Holder's Office, so that one can rest comfortable while waiting.

To the east, you see one person.

Obvious exits:

Gar Hold Entry Hall     Holder's Office     Workroom     Infirmary     Steward's Office

Kantala walks in from the Gar Hold Entry Hall.

Kantala says, "Hello."

Kantala says, "I don't think we've met before. I'm Kantala, but you can call me Tala if you like."

Zidon nods to the young woman walking in. "Afternoon," he smiles. "Oh, well met, Tala. I'm Zidon, or Zi if you prefer."

Kantala says, "Nice to meet you."

Zidon smiles, his eyes watching Tala's knot for a few moments. "You're a Vintner then?"

Kantala nods, "Yes sir. And my sister is a starcrafter."

Zidon smirks. "A StarCrafter? And what might her name be, then?"

Kantala smiles, "Kazy...well Kezzra really...that's just what I call her Kazy is."

Zidon ohs. "Kezzra. Hmm, I don't believe I know her actually... is she new around here?" Then again, he only remembers certain of the Harper patrons.

Kantala says, "No. She's been here for awhile now. I'm the new one."

Naol walks in from the Workroom.

Naol enters, noticing the same person from before. "Sir?" he asks.

"Oh, I see." Zidon turns from Kantala to Naol. "Hmm?" Why's everyone calling him 'sir' all of a sudden?

Kantala says, "Is something wrong?"

Naol stops, as if to listen to a faint sound, then says. "Well, I would like to learn how to..." He then emphatizes, "bunnyslide."

Zidon grins. "You too?" Good, then he won't haev to go back to the kitchens right away. "And how about you, Tala?"

Kantala says, "Oh...That's so much fun! Ms Natch taught me the other day."

Zidon smirks at Kantala. "She did, did she? I'm sure that /was/ fun... maybe you'd like to show... erm...?" He peers at Naol. Name, please?

Naol seems to snap back into reality. "Naol," he says.

Zidon nods. "Perhaps you can show Naol here how to 'slide?"

Kantala says, "I could.." and pulls a box out from under one of the couches. She digs through it til she finds a pair of blue bunny slippers that fit just right.

OOC: Kantala says "sorry i have to go"

Kantala goes home.

Zidon grins at Naol. "Seems like it's just you and me then. Well, find yourself a pair of slippers..."

Naol looks confused. "I don't have any..."

Zidon points to the box Kantala dragged out from under one of the couches before she left. "There. Find a pair that suits you."

Naol shuffles through the box, trying some on, and finds a pair. He put them on in place of his sandals and looks up.

Zidon smirks. "Good... ok, now, in order to slide you run forward and then just slide down the floor. It'll work, don't worry. It's a good idea to keep out your arms for balance. And don't hit the walls!" Like he did. Ahem.

Naol nods and tries. He scoots himself down the hall but his legs spread apart and he falls face done on the floor. He emits an "Ow." from the floor.

Zidon bites his lip, scurrying to Naol's side. "Uhm, are you ok? You have to bend in your knees. Makes it easier."

Naol nods as he slowly gets up. "Let me try again. He turns around and slides. He  does fine until turns from the wall and lands again. "Ouch..." he says again. "Uh...Zidon?"

Zidon bites back a grin. "Yeah? I told you not to hit the walls..."

Naol says, "How do I stop?"

Naol slowly climbs back up.

Zidon chuckles slightly. "Erm, you just straighten up and then turn around," he explains.

Naol nods and tries again, this time succeeding. He halts and turns back around doing it again. He cranks his head to face Zidon. "It's a sinch!" Bang. He ran it the wall again.

Zidon grins. "Please, watch your head! Natch would ban me if I made people break their necks..."

Naol nods and tries. Again. And Again. He stops. "I got it."

Zidon smirks. "Good, then! Just, be careful you don't hit anyone either..." Like he did this morning. Nevermind about that.

Naol smiles, places the slippers back with all the others he took out, scoots the box back under the couch, dons his sandals, and exits.

Naol walks to the Workroom.
